The Fratellis

She said oh my, I don't know why
I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar

I said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I wonder, you drive a bluebird
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard

And it's all right, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare

I said oh no, oh please just go
You got no eyelids and sweet ella loves me so
She got my number, though I can't stand her
I can't help diggin her a hope I guess I wonder
And oh it's clear, you want me dear
It would be easier if I was never here
You got the money, and I got the reason,
I'll stick around with you for just another season

And it's alright, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare

She's just getting along,
So don't tell me she's yours
Oh please tell me I'm wrong again
It's all in a daze/day,
So what can you say
Just; sleep in yer shoes
With the winterbox blues
Any time you choose, Oh yeah

She said oh my, I don't know why
I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar

She said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I wonder, you drive a bluebird

So easy to be Friday's wonder

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

Life is the same
And it always will be
Easy as picking foxes from a tree

(Heh heh heh)

But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

A stud is a lamb
With the thoughts of a tiger

(Heh heh heh)

Who moves like a cat
And knows how to ride her

(Heh heh heh)

But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby

(Heh heh heh)

Stroll on
I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

A woman from the east with her headlights shining

(Heh heh heh)

Eased my pain and stopped my crying

(Heh heh heh)

But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

And all my hair will keep her smiling
With my wondrous walk and my telephone dialing
But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

I know you're shrewd and she's a dude
But all I want is easy action
I know you're shrewd and she's a dude
But all I want is easy action
I know you're shrewd and she's a dude
But all I want is easy action, baby

(Heh heh heh)

Stroll on

(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)
(Heh heh heh)

Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
can never be too pretty tell me your name
Is it out of line if I were so bold to say "Would you be mine?"
Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen
I know I maybe on a downer am still ready to dream
Now it's Three o'clock the time is just the time it takes for you to talk


So if you're lonely why'd you say your not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come
And go and know me no you don't even know me
Your so sweet to try, Oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible


Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, My hearts in broken pieces
And my heards a mess

And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo
That's got me going crazy for the things you do


So if your crazy I don't care you amaze me
Oh your a stupid girl, oh me, oh my. you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, of you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible


So if your lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know Ihurt it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don't even know me

Your so sweet to try oh me, you caught me eye

A girl like you's just irresistible

She said oh my, I don't know why
I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar

You got no eyelids and sweet ella loves me so
She got my number, though I can't stand her
I can't help diggin her a hope I guess I wonder
And oh it's clear, you want me dear
It would be easier if I was never here
You got the money, and I got the reason,

Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's wonder

Just because she feeds me well
And she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel
Doesn't mean she's got eyes for me
She might just want my bones, you see
Hey, Flathead, don't you get mean
She's the second best killer that I have ever seen
They don't come much more sick than you
I could go on if you want me to
It's just so wrong, so very nice
I told you once, and you killed me twice
I saw you one time at the back of the club
Chewing on glass and a ticket stub
I heard they kicked the boy till he bled
Then stood and said, 'oh my god' till she said
'Bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra.'
Everybody knows you're the one to call
When the girls get ugly at the back of the wall
Josephine says you got a bleeding nose
So taking it with her wherever she goes
Hey, Flathead, don't check me in
Well, hers is a tonic and mine is a gin
They don't come much more slick than you
I'd drive your car if you asked me to
Said the boy's not right in the head
So he stood and got a kicking instead till she said
'Bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra.'

Henrietta we got no flowers for you
Just these three miserable cunts
Sitting on the back seat banging on the off beat
We know you love us and you probably do
Although you`re husband may cut us
He`s such an animal though everything is possible

Give us a kiss and maybe we can go out
It`s hard to miss you when you follow us about
Buy us some shoes and maybe take us for cola
We`ll get you there in some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank and bump off your daddy
You can come live with us among the
Has beens and the addicts
These are crazy times down at Costello music
You can answer the phone and talk nice
Anyway you choose it, come on

Dear Henrietta we`re just three lonely boys
Though the girls love us we`re so
Into you incredibly we`d love to see you terribly
We`d love to hate you but we don`t have no choice
Come be our wa ha ha ha
Honey, honey three four one time once more

Give us a kiss and maybe we can go out
It`s hard to miss you when you follow us about
Buy us some shoes and maybe take us for cola
We`ll get you there in some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank and bump off your daddy
You can come live with us among the
Has beens and the addicts
These are crazy times down at Costello music
You can answer the phone and talk nice
Anyway you choose it, come on

Chelsea Chelsea I believe that when your dancing slowly
Sucking your sleeve
The boys get lonely after you leave
It's one for the Dagger and another for the one you believe

La la la la la la........

Well she said I know but I just can't tell
Everything you've just been saying
Lucy was there aswell in the dark
When the kids in the band were playing

No-one can hear a word I tell
What the girl was singing
See she must've been 16 or 18
I'm just past caring

She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was bursting their noses
She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
You're not pleased that you're easy
Makes you sick in a bad way

And all the while the girls sang
La la la la and she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss

And she said "I can't love you anymore than this!"

La la la la la la la...............
La la la la la la la...............

Aww she said she said oh no no no no
Let me yes why don't you kill me
I said when I'm messed up like this
Sweetheart you know that don't thrill me
Said I would've been there if only I had been a little bit nicer
I was dead by Sunday half dead scared just trying to please her

She getting the pills when
I was into her best friend
She was chasing the thrills
And living down at the West End
She was pretty in braces
I lived out of her window
She said "take me to London"
Tell me something I don't know

And all the while the girls sang
La la la la she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss

And she said "I can't love you anymore than this!"

La la la la la.....
La la la la la.....
La la la la la.....
La la la la la.....

She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was bursting their noses
She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
You're not pleased that you're easy
Makes you sick in a bad way
And all the while the girls sang
La la la la she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss

And she said "I don't like you
You can't stand me
I can't love you anymore than this"

Well you got so good,
You live for the action,
Used to be a husband now you got yourself some satisfaction,
A dog in a bag and a bone.
But you're lost in the rain,
21 million miles from home.
You got brand new shoes,
A healthy fixation,
Atomic heart and a two for one education.
You're breaking my heart all the way.
With your dog in a bag I need your madness just to get through the day.

... o clock.
Too hot to sleep,
A rotten taste in my mouth,
And my eyes are deep.
There's nothing much really going on out here,
I'm holding on for dear life and one more beer.
I guess you could say it's a sick little show,
A bottle of troubles and a bed full of woe
It's easy to see without looking too far, you have to be a saint to be as sick as you are.

Half the world's asleep,
The rest of them are dreaming.
God forbid if you forget to close the door as you're leaving.
I hate to see you in a bind.

With a dog in a bag, sleeping next to your ridiculous mind.
With a dog in a bag, sleeping next to your ridiculous mind.
With a dog in a bag, sleeping next to your ridiculous mind

Whistle for the boys now don't be shy
Give us all a song and a reason why
Baby got the bones and a hand me down
Says her heart is black but her eyes are brown
Give the boys a flash and they'll love you so
Give the girl some cash cause your mother said so
And take em out to look at the queen
And any old girl who's in between

Lay yourself down by the side of the bed
Oh you naughty girl you know you tickle me red
You look so dumb and you sound so twee
And you can only wish that you was married to me

Well, that's what you get
Oh don't get upset
Ridiculous you
Waiting in the queue oh whoopee doo
You could have been
The best that I've seen
Under the red light
Everybody knows you cried last night

Give us all a go till your face turns red
Little Greg said you went home instead
If you stick around you'll get an alibi
And we'll try and keep your pretty face bone dry
Rent a honey rent a honey one two three
Chasing all the boys from your door can't be easy
Well ruby said you was wrecked
But your was never well behaved the last time I checked

Lay yourself down by the side of the bed
Oh you naughty girl you know you tickle me red
You look so dumb and you sound so twee
And you can only wish that you was married to me

Well that's what you get
Oh don't get upset

I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar

I said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I wonder, you drive a bluebird
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard

And it's all right, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare

I said oh no, oh please just go
You got no eyelids and sweet ella loves me so
She got my number, though I can't stand her
I can't help diggin her a hope I guess I wonder
And oh it's clear, you want me dear

Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's wonder

Well I met her in a bar, the men with big guitars were playin And I listened with my ears but I couldn’t hear what she was sayin And I guess she talked with her mind But didn’t want to seem to unkind so I just laughed And kept my eyes peeled to the door Wondering what I was there for But it’s alright, it’s alright It’s alright, it’s alright I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night Well I asked if she believed in Adam and Eve the fable And I guess she would’ve given me an answer if only she was able And she danced like a medicine man Drew a crazy picture on my hand and told me She wanted to change my point of view Asked me where I was going to But it’s alright, it’s alright It’s alright, it’s alright I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night Well she whispered in my ear we got to get us out of here to the country I asked her for a ride she took me aside said “try me” I thought I’m gonna wake pretty soon In the middle of a Sunday afternoon just dreamin And it was warm in the back of her van When she made me a real man

Well she wants to be a singer in the band
Maybe I'll give the girl a hand & a mircophone
look like she's all alone
She can bring a friend though she's not my kind of friend
She keeps staring me out with her ole black & blue eyes

And I can take her dancing just to give the girl a chance
And I was never that good at being nice when I should
I guess that she'll forgive right before she trys to kill me
Coz I sold her on yesterday's

Come take me ole eyes

I can take the the waltz just so she could kick my head in
'o i do believe i was drunk
and both of my heads had shrunk
I guess her name was Tina coz before I'd even seen her
I was lost in her wats-ya-name....

'o take me home....eye eye's...

And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does she's getting there slow
And I can help her out but I've got somewhere to be
And thats the very thing when your dealing with me

Begging me to bag her, and filthy heart & swollen hips
And she said o my dearest im not pretty; isn't it a pity
That you wont kiss these rotten lips
So take me o my..eye...eyes eyes
Ole black & blue eyes.......

And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does she's getting there slow
And I can help her out but I've got somewhere to be
And thats the very thing when your dealing with me

Do do do do do do do do do...

I said I don't get out too much I said
She said you said I said two times instead
I said oh please please please no,
You're just not funny ya know
So stick around here for a week or three or four
I passed out one time by your door
It was twenty to four though I just can't be sure

Cinderella Cinderella she쨈s my very kind of fella
Part right half wrong oh you know it won't be too long
And oh you know we country boy
Are only after sex and noise
Take me shake me I'm a real mess oh yes
I love the way you city girls dress
Even though your head's in a mess

Well it was some king of house some kind of road
With some kind of peculiar dress code
All the boys had no style not one girl did she smile
I said your making me itch she said I don쨈t
I said I'll try my best she said I know that you won't
Now it's time to go home while I was chewing her bone

Baby doll baby doll climbing on the bedroom wall
Got no real friends at all maybe she's a mother or two
But I think she's into you
Take me home take me home
Call my mother on the phone
Ella was her name when I left but now she is Rose
Got no fingers or toes lost them
Everywhere that she goes, now

Lost them everywhere that she goes now
Lost them everywhere that she goes now
Lost them everywhere that she goes now
Lost them everywhere that she goes now

> Well the room was pink and the signs were serious
Paperback dolls being slapped delirious
Feeling like a joke in the bar underneath
And it was saturday night in the year of the good theif
Well I tumbled up the stairs the wrong way round
I hit my head on the ceiling when my feet hit the ground
And then the big dumb blonde in the gold fish bowl
Cried ""Ella's in the band but shes got no soul!""
My friend John was the serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber souls burn
When will he ever learn?
Well the night was spent and my money was young
And then I had to get home before my neck was wrung
And everybody dance in the same old way
And if I'm feeling old and desperate I'll be back some day
My friend John was the serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber sould burn
When will he ever learn?
My friend John was the serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber souls burn
When will he ever learn?

Pull me up a chair and keep your money
There's no guarantees
Won't you please forgive me but you know
Cold blooded women make me sneeze
And I'll kick you out the door if for just one minute you lie
And they'll come crashing through the wall
And leave you crawling til the minute you die

Pour yourself a drink or three
And maybe we'll think clearer for a while
You may be an embarrassment but
I love that your clothes are never in style
Living's much too easy
And dying would be some kind of bore
Well, you swear that you're original
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before

So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn't understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
And they will not miss you when you go

Tear another hole in my brown shoes
And we can all sleep for a while
Well I told you once before, I love your braces
And your hesitant smile
But please don't get me wrong it's only right
That you stamp on my heart
Well I've seen you and your friends someplace
You know I just can't tell you apart

Though they'll hunt you like a dog they won't take you alive
Cause you made them piles of money
Stacked up twenty stories high
And the boys in every bar
They will not miss you when you go

So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days, and they wouldn't understand
Gypsy blood will get you far, though it's far away from me
Look me up when you get home and maybe then we'll see

Though they'll hunt you like a dog, they won't take you alive
Cause you made them piles of money
Stacked up twenty stories high
And the boys in every bar
Well, they'll miss you when you're gone
You can tell a heady tale
And they'll both keep screaming on

Well, there's nothing more to add before I leave
This thing of ours is dead, but don't you grieve
Is it me, or are they younger every night?
Just because they can doesn't make it alright

I'm hanging by my teeth
Waiting on quick relief
While the kids don't sleep for days
I could die in a hundred odd ways

And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died
But don't tell me you could do it if you tried
It's a shame or a sham, he's half as old as I am
But don't tell me he could look good if he tried

Well, it terrifies the life from out of me
It's really such a lazy way to be

Hiding in the bedroom
Climbing up the walls
You've got to kick it out of me gently
Til it begs and pleads and crawls

And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died
But don't tell me you could do it if you tried
It's a shame or a sham, he's half as old as I am
But don't tell me he could look good if he tried

And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died
But don't tell me you could do it if you tried
It's a shame or a sham, he's half as old as I am
But don't tell me he could look good if he tried

And would you make sure my mother gets half my weight in gold?
Tell her I just did what I was told
Grab you expensive coat, and bury it inside
But don't tell me you could do it if you tried

Well look out sunshine here they go
They've got yesterdays heroes in last nights clothes
You're a game old boy judging by the way you walk
Well there's no use telling me to leave
I've seen a half a dozen ghosts but I don't believe
I'm a cynical cunt and I'm much too lazy to change

And tell my friends I'll be around
Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
And sing that old song, how does it go?
Look out Sunshine here's the punch line
No one gets you any more

Well look out Sunshine here they come
But they only play for money, you better not run
It's the sell out show that no one wants to go to, yeah
Well there's none so blind as them that don't agree
They steal the money from your pockets almost viciously
You're a sane old boy and you're much to crazy to change

And tell my friends I'll be around
Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
And sing that old song how does it go?
Look out Sunshine here's the punch line
No one gets you any more

And what do you mean
You were born to love this scene
And they would string you up gladly
If they knew just how lazy you'd been

And tell my friends I'll be around
Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
And sing that old song how does it go?
Look out Sunshine here's the punch line
No one gets you any
No one needs you any
No one gets you any more

She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

You can find her scratching around in the dark
Just another candle chasing a spark
You can find her screaming along with the ghosts
Reminds you she's the one that you needed the most

And then you're out there on your own again
No one believes you when you lie
I still see all the old girls now and then
Catching the moonlight as they cry

She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

The wrong way round's the right way up when she calls
You can laugh but it wont mean nothing at all
Yes you can find her scratching away in her room
Stumbling 'round by the light of the stragglers moon

And then you're out there digging holes again
Six million people can't be wrong
Someday you'll buy the perfect song and then
You can get back where you belong

And then you're out there on your own again
No one believes you when you lie
I still see all the old girls now and then
Catching the moonlight when they cry

> 1,2,3, oh
Mistress mabel, you're seriously wrong,
Clears my table, bang and then she's gone,
Takes a liberty if you let her,
Yes she's old but she should know better,
Oh dear mabel please don't put me on,
Mistress mabel, all the kids agree,
You're unstable, curious and free,
Wine em down, and then keep em kickin',
Sunken eyed and all panic stricken'
Oh dear mabel it still worries me
Well and like rat bag, so they told her,
Last nights name tag, across her shoulder.
Tell me where all the days have gone,
When you rocked my cradle
Tell me mabel
Where'd you go when you cant go on
With this willful fable
Tell me mabel
Mistress mabel, won't you marry me?
I'm unable to take it seriously
I'll be good, and you'll be a minute
I wish you would, or i'll drop you in it.
Oh dear mabel wont you marry me?
And like rat bag, so they told her,
Last nights name tag, across her shoulder
Tell me where all the days have gone,
When you rocked my cradle,
Tell me mabel
Where to go when you cant go on
With this filthy fable,
Tell me mabel
Tell me mabel
Tell me where all the days have gone,
When you rocked my cradle,
Tell me mabel
Where to go when you cant go on
With this filthy fable,
Tell me mabel
Tell me where all the days have gone,
When you rocked my cradle,
Tell me mabel
Where to go when you cant go on
With this filthy fable,
Tell me mabel
Tell me mabel

Jesus stole my baby
Jesus stole my girl
He took her away for an hour every Sunday
And cut all of her beautiful curls
She was always easy seven days of the week
Now she's a bore and I've seen it before
She thinks it gives her some kind of mystique
Said that she just wants to save me
Said you can't go on the way that you are
She chased all my friends, hurts my brain til it bends
Hides my cigarettes and steals my guitar

And it's a long time since she was mine
Pretending I am fine
Another simple boy on the telephone line
And though she is living here with me
I'm aching to be free
She takes it all so goddamn seriously

Well I've always been in love with her treasure
But she might as well be locked up in chains
When I ask she says no, and I'm feeling so low
I'm bursting from my feet to my brains

Now if I could only talk to this Jesus
I'd tell him just how lonely I've been
I'd ask him to send home my baby again
So she can see what kinda state I've been in

Jesus stole my baby
So maybe I should steal his
She used to be mine
Now she's so dull and divine
May not be nice but that's the way that it is
And I'm lost here among the clowns
Jesus men in gowns
All sandals and out of tune guitars
And she talks in terrified tones
Of skeleton bones
Screaming through a mangled microphone

And it's a long time since she was mine
Pretending I am fine
Another simple boy on the telephone line
And though she is living here with me
I'm aching to be free
She takes it all so goddamn seriously

Baby doll
Do you believe they'll catch you when you fall?
And when morning comes
The sun is gonna shine

Don't forget your minor key's
Your half lit cigarette
'Cause when morning comes
God knows that you'll be mine

So let me in
I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins
Not leave it to chance and sweet coincidence
Well, that's just crazy and you know it's true

Well, they said you was long gone
I just laughed and said alright bring her home tonight
And I heard you was graciously put on
I just laughed and said good night, guess it's alright

Baby doll
The men who hang like flowers in you're hall
Are asking when
Your love is gonna show

And who knows why
The love you need will always pass you by
Well, I heard it's true
Your love is gonna grow

So let me know
'Cause I can stay or honey I can go
Just to wherever you tell me so
And find my place there and there I'll stay

Well, they said you was burned out
I just laughed and said come on, she's not burned she's just gone
And it took me too long till I found out
Faces that you know the best oh well, I guess

And they laughed when you said you was leaving
Everybody knows you well except for me, can't you tell?
And you watched from the wings of the late show
Roses by your feet are red for me you said

Baby doll, baby doll, baby doll, baby doll
Baby doll, baby doll, baby doll, baby doll

Aahaahaha
Well once I was peruaded to open up my head
I told them how it was and went and got it wrong instead
I said would you believe me if you only knew
I'd been stealing everything this conversations through

And the boy cried hang him at three
I saw him on the front page laughing at me
He worked in a fairground in a tall hat
He's a liar he's a liar and a good one at that
Say what you want to say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey kick like a mule
I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel

So I told them all I could about what could they expect
But I lost my sense of smell and I gained myself respect
They told me I was curious I told them they were slow
They asked me were I get this stuff I told them I don't know

And the boy cried whoopy de dee
There's a woman with a mustache who won't let me be
Though she was born on a monday
She's a hundred and four
She's a liar she's a liar and a little bit more
Say what you want to say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey kick like a mule
I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel

And the boy cried hang him at three
I saw him on the front page laughing at me
He worked in a fairground in a tall hat
He's a liar he's a liar and a good one at that
Say what you want to say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey kick like a mule
I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel

> Well let me tell you something, let me tell you so
This could be the one thing that you really need to know
You got to stop once in a while and shake off that face of yours
Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me, oh sister
Well cannot claim this advice as my own
I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
She said Don't you look ridiculous I checked her out meticulously
And though I would've stopped to argue but my teeth were broke
I said I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke, oh sister
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
the books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come on
Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she
And maybe this is just the way it has to be
It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all, oh sister
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
the books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come on
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
the books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer
I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
Put your hands together for the Acid jazz singer, come on

Well, just slow down
Come on, Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well, she's nothing much to look at, and she's hard to believe
Well, don't go down
Throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well, you meant everything to them, but you meant nothing to me

Well, your girlfriend made me itch
And though I'll keep you in mind, I would be happy to switch
I don't know where you got that voice
But I would sell it to London if you gave me the choice

Check those old clothes
And those red bows
Though you're a scrawny pup
I would be happy just to cheer you up

Well, just slow down
Come on, Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well, she's nothing much to look at, and she's hard to believe
Well, don't go down
Throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well, you meant everything to them, but you meant nothing to me

You got nothing I wish to steal
Cause I got nothing to give you on account of Lucille
She don't walk like a cripple should
Well she's Colombia's finest, oh, she's better than good

Oh, Wednesday's DJs
Came in sideways
Yelling for the mother of the sister
And the brother of Orla the Tease

Well, just slow down
Come on, Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well, she's nothing much to look at, and she's hard to believe
Well, don't go down
Throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well, you meant everything to them, but you meant nothing to me

Well, just slow down
Come on, Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well, she's nothing much to look at, and she's hard to believe
Well, don't go down
Throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well, you meant everything to them, but you meant nothing to me

Well you know what I mean
But you just don't know that you know and it's starting to kill you
Well there's a thousand heartbreaks dead at your door
And they wouldn't take money to be you
Lazy old girl caught in the swirl of lasts night's invitation
You make me want to gnaw on a bone
And my jaw is in very much need of attention

I'm sorry my dear but your future's unclear
And I don't have time to love you
There's a dirty old ghost making the most
Dying on the floor above you
I speculate on why you look great
I never was good with words
But you spent half the time looking behind
And I spent it looking forwards
La la...

Well the stars were pink and the knickers were few
And the whole place smelled of boredom
And you would've gone home with the prettiest boy
Well you would've but you couldn't afford him
In sixteen months you've only smiled once
And you didn't need an invitation
You fell up the stairs the wrong way round
But I didn't have the heart to mention

I'm sorry my dear but your future's unclear
And I don't have time to love you
There's a dirty old ghost making the most
Dying on the floor above you
I speculate on why you look great
I never was good with words
But you spent half the time looking behind
And I spent it looking forwards
La la

Well look out sunshine here they go
They've got yesterdays heroes in last nights clothes
You're a game old boy judging by the way you walk
Well there's no use telling me to leave
I've seen a half a dozen ghosts but I don't believe
I'm a cynical cunt and I'm much too lazy to change

And tell my friends I'll be around
Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
And sing that old song, how does it go?
Look out Sunshine here's the punch line
No one gets you any more

Well look out Sunshine here they come
But they only play for money, you better not run
It's the sell out show that no one wants to go to, yeah
Well there's none so blind as them that don't agree
They steal the money from your pockets almost viciously
You're a sane old boy and you're much to crazy to change

Just because she feeds me well
And she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel
Doesn't mean she's got eyes for me
She might just want my bones, you see
Hey, Flathead, don't you get mean
She's the second best killer that I have ever seen
They don't come much more sick than you
I could go on if you want me to
It's just so wrong, so very nice
I told you once, and you killed me twice
I saw you one time at the back of the club
Chewing on glass and a ticket stub
I heard they kicked the boy till he bled
Then stood and said, 'oh my god' till she said
'Bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra.'
Everybody knows you're the one to call
When the girls get ugly at the back of the wall
Josephine says you got a bleeding nose
So taking it with her wherever she goes
Hey, Flathead, don't check me in
Well, hers is a tonic and mine is a gin
They don't come much more slick than you
I'd drive your car if you asked me to
Said the boy's not right in the head
So he stood and got a kicking instead till she said
'Bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra.'

Well you must be a girl with shoes like that
She said you know me well
I seen you and little Steven and Joanna

Round the back of my hotel oh yeah
Someone said you was asking after me
But I know you best as a blagger
I said tell me your name is it sweet?
She said my boy it`s dagger oh yeah

I was good she was hot
Stealin` everything she got
I was bold she was over the worst of it
Gave me gear thank you dear bring yer sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it

Well you must be a boy with bones like that
She said you got me wrong
I would`ve sold them to you
If I could`ve just have kept the last of my clothes on
Call me up take me down with you
When you go I could be your regular belle
And I`ll dance for little Steven and Joanna
Round the back of my hotel oh yeah

I was good she was hot
Stealin` everything she got
I was bold she was over the worst of it
Gave me gear thank you dear bring yer sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it

Chelsea Chelsea I believe that when your dancing
Slowly sucking your sleeve
That all the boys get lonely after you leave
it`s one for the dagger and another for the one you believe

Chelsea Chelsea I believe that when your dancing
Slowly sucking your sleeve
That all the boys get lonely after you leave
it`s one for the dagger and another for the one you believe

Clears my table, badly, then she's gone
Takes a liberty if you let her
Yes she's old but she should know better
Oh dear Mabel please don't put me on

Mistress Mabel all the kids agree

Wind them down and then keep them kickin'
Sunken eyed and all panic stricken
Oh dear mabel it still worries me

Baby's in the kitchen on a big black trombone
I'm in the bedroom on the cursed phone
Everybody laughs when the band goes too slow
Meeting every Tuesday in a club in Soho
I'm just dreaming of Rockefeller Plaza

Paul's on the ball with the bedroom plaything
Wishing he could give her a damn good thrashing
Everybody cries, "Well good for you, Paul
We never liked her very much at all"
I'm just dreaming of Rockefeller Plaza

I'm just waiting on magic shoes
Got three weird chords and I just can't lose
I'm just finding my own way there
Well I lost my voice and I grew my hair

Brother Jon's long gone, he keeps his nose clean
He's suckin on a black and white TV screen
Says he got a girl a playbook memory
Pictures on the wall and a dog named Henry
I'm just dreaming of Rockefeller Plaza

Ella's in the band, but she's always solo
Dressed in rags and covered in day-glow
Banging on the drums like a Meg White throwback
Screaming all the while at her husband, poor Jack
I'm just dreaming of Rockefeller Plaza

I'm just waiting on pigs to fly
Got cold dead brains and a reason why
If I just didn't move half as slow
I'd be a dog in your one-man show

I'm just waiting on magic shoes
Got three weird chords and I just can't lose
I'm just finding my own way there
So I lost my voice and I grew my hair

I'm just waiting on pigs to fly
Got cold dead brains and no reason why
If I just didn't move half as slow
I'd be a dog in your one-man show

You've been down for too long
it's not right it's just wrong
but it's true most unfortunately
You're a heartbreak collector and pyscho inspector
you're the answer that nobody needs
When you check out you can leave in no doubt
You failed where all the others suceed
And yesterdays dreams have been sold off it seems
And though everyone tries
No one knows what it means
Tell me, Where do you go?
Where do you go, my honey?
When you hear that shout
When all the lights go out
Well you don't speculate there's no reason to wait
When you carry yourself like you do
And there's no need for laughter you feel after
you've overthought the rest of it through
And how do you sleep when the company you keep
Comes up for air faster than you
There's no reason to live when the answer you give
Are so believable they might just be true
And yesterdays dreams have been sold off it seems
And though everyone tries
No one knows what it means
Tell me, Where do you go?
Where do you go, my honey?
When you hear that shout
When all the lights go out

Well the room was pink and the signs were serious
Paperback dolls being slammed delirious
Feeling like a joke in the bar underneath
And it was Saturday night in the year of the good thief

Well I tumbled up the stairs the wrong way round
I hit my head on the ceiling when my feet hit the ground
And then the big dumb blonde in the gold fish bowl
cried Ella's in the band but she's got no soul

My friend John was a serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber souls burn
When will he ever learn?

Well the night was spent and my money was young
And then I had to get home before my neck was wrung
And everybody danced in the same old way
And if I'm feeling old and desperate
I'll be back some day

My friend John was a serious one
Buttoned up the back and a job half done
Lazy old boy when the good girls turn
His teeth get itchy and his rubber souls burn
When will he ever learn?

Pull me up a chair and keep your money
There's no guarantees
Wont you please forgive me
But you know cold blooded women make me sneeze
And I'll kick you out the door
If for just one minute you lie
And they'll come crashing though the wall
And leave you crawling till the minute you die

Pour yourself a drink or three
And maybe we'll think clearer for a while
You may be an embarrassment
But I love the way your clothes are never in style
Living's much too easy
And dying would be some kind of bore
Well you swear that you're original
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before

So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn't understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
And they will not miss you when you go

Tear another hole in my brown shoes
And we can all sleep for a while
Well I told you once before
I love your braces and your hesitant smile
But please don't get me wrong it's only right
That you can stamp on my heart
Well I've seen you and your friend some place
You know I just can tell you apart

And though they'll hunt you like a dog
They wont take you alive
Coz you've made them piles of money
Stacked up twenty stories high
And the boys in every bar
They will not miss you when you go

So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn't understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
Though it's far away from me
Look me up when you get home
And maybe then we'll see

Well they'll hunt you like a dog
But they wont take you alive
Coz you made them piles of money
Stacked up twenty stories high
And the boys in every bar
Well they'll miss you when you're gone
You can tell a heady tale
And we'll both keep screaming on

la la.....

Well there's nothing more to add before I leave
This thing of ours is dead but don't you grieve
Is it me or are they younger every night?
Just because they can it doesn't make it all right

I'm hangin by my teeth, waiting on quick relief
While the kids don't sleep for days
I could die in a hundred odd ways
And I'm so sick of hearing how your love
for this has died
But don't tell me you could do it if you tried

It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am
But don't tell me he could look good if he tried

Well it terrifies the life from out of me
It's really such a lazy way to be
Hiding in the bedroom, climbing up the walls
You've got to kick it out of me gently
Till it begs and pleads and crawls

And I'm so sick of hearing how your love
for this has died
But don't tell me you could do it if you tried
It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am
But don't tell me he could look good if he tried

And I'm so sick of hearing
how your love for this has died
But don't tell me you could do it if you tried

It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am
But don't tell me he could look good if he tried

And wont you make sure my mother gets half
my weight in gold
Tell her I just did what I was told
Grab your expensive coat and bury it inside
But don't tell me you could do it if you tried

Well look out sunshine here they go
They've got yesterdays heroes in last nights clothes
You're a game old boy judging by the way you walk
Well there's no use telling me to leave
I've seen a half a dozen ghosts but I don't believe
I'm a cynical cunt and I'm much too lazy to change

And tell my friends I'll be around
Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
And sing that old song, how does it go?
Look out Sunshine here's the punch line
No one gets you any more

Well look out Sunshine here they come
But they only play for money, you better not run
It's the sell out show that no one wants to go to, yeah
Well there's none so blind as them that don't agree
They steal the money from your pockets almost viciously
You're a sane old boy and you're much to crazy to change

And tell my friends I'll be around
Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
And sing that old song how does it go?
Look out Sunshine here's the punch line
No one gets you any more

And what do you mean
You were born to love this scene
And they would string you up gladly
If they knew just how lazy you'd been

And tell my friends I'll be around
Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
And sing that old song how does it go?
Look out Sunshine here's the punch line
No one gets you any
No one needs you any
No one gets you any more

She can't help it, the girl can't help it

You can find her scratching around in the dark
Just another candle chasing a spark
You can find her screaming along with the ghosts
Reminds you she's the one you needed the most

And then you're out there on your own again
No one believes you when you lie
I still see all the old girls now and then
Catching the moonlight as they cry

She can't help it, the girl can't help it....

The wrong way round's the right way up when she calls
And can laugh but it won't mean nothing at all
Yes you can find her scratching away in her room
Stumblin' round by the light of the stragglers moon

And then you're out there digging holes again
Six million people can't be wrong
Some day you'll buy the perfect soul and then
you can get back where you belong

And then you're out there on your own again
No one believes you when you lie
I still see all the old girls now and then
catching the moonlight when they cry

Mistress Mabel seriously wrong
Clears my table, badly, then she's gone
Takes a liberty if you let her
Yes she's old but she should know better
Oh dear Mabel please don't put me on

Mistress Mabel all the kids agree
You're unstable curious and free
Wind them down and then keep them kickin'
Sunken eyed and all panic stricken
Oh dear mabel it still worries me

Hem line rat bag so they told her
Last nights name tag across her shoulder
And tell me where all the days have gone
When You rocked my cradle, tell me Mabel
Where'd you go when you can't go on
With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel

Mistress Mabel wont you marry me?
I'm unable to take it seriously
I'll be good and you'll be a minute
I wish you would or I'll drop you in it
Oh dear Mabel wont you marry me?

Hem line rat bag so they told her
Last nights name tag across her shoulder
And tell me where all the days have gone
When you rocked my cradle, tell me Mabel
Where'd you go when you can't go on
With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel
Tell me Mabel, tell me Mabel

Babydoll,
Do you believe they'll catch you when you fall?
And when morning comes
The sun is gonna shine
Don't forget your minor key's
Your half lit cigarette
Cause when morning comes
God knows that you'll be mine

So let me in
I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins
Not leave it to chance
And sweet coincidence
Well that's just crazy
And you know it's true

Well they said you was long gone
I just laughed and said alright
Bring her home tonight
And I heard you was graciously put on
I just laughed and said good night
Guess it's alright

Babydoll,
The men who hang like flowers in you're hall
Are asking when you're love is gonna show
And who knows why
The love you need will always pass you by
Well I heard it's true
You're love is gonna grow

So let me know
Cause I can stay or honey I can go
Just to wherever you tell me so
And find my place there and there I'll stay

Well they said you was burned out
I just laughed and said come on
She's not burned she's just gone
And it took me too long till I found out
Faces that you know the best
Oh well I guess
And they laughed when you said you was leaving
Everybody knows you well
Cept for me, can't you tell
And you watched from the wings of the late show
Roses by you're feet, of red
All for me you said

Babydoll

Aahaahaha
Well once I was peruaded to open up my head
I told them how it was and went and got it wrong instead
I said would you believe me if you only knew
I'd been stealing everything this conversations through

And the boy cried hang him at three
I saw him on the front page laughing at me
He worked in a fairground in a tall hat
He's a liar he's a liar and a good one at that
Say what you want to say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey kick like a mule
I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel

So I told them all I could about what could they expect
But I lost my sense of smell and I gained myself respect
They told me I was curious I told them they were slow
They asked me were I get this stuff I told them I don't know

And the boy cried whoopy de dee
There's a woman with a mustache who won't let me be
Though she was born on a monday
She's a hundred and four
She's a liar she's a liar and a little bit more
Say what you want to say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey kick like a mule
I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel

And the boy cried hang him at three
I saw him on the front page laughing at me
He worked in a fairground in a tall hat
He's a liar he's a liar and a good one at that
Say what you want to say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey kick like a mule
I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel

Well let me tell you something, let me tell you so
This could be the one thing that you really need to know
You got to stop once in a while and shake off that face of yours
Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me,
oh sister

Well cannot claim this advice as my own
I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
She said Don't you look ridiculous
I checked her out meticulously
And though I would've stopped to argue
but my teeth were broke
I said I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke, oh sister

She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
the books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come on

Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she
And maybe this is just the way it has to be
It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all, oh sister

She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
the books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up
and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come on

She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
the books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up
and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer
I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
Put your hands together for the Acid jazz singer, come on

Well just slow down come on Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well she's nothing much to look at and she's hard to believe
Don't go down, throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well you meant everything to them but you meant nothing to me

Well your girlfriend made me itch
And though I'll keep you in mind I would be happy to switch
I don't know where you got that voice
But I would sell it to London if you gave me the choice

Check those old clothes and those red bows
though you're a scrawny pup I would be happy just to cheer you up, oh yes

Well you just slow down, come on Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well she's nothing much to look at
and she's hard to believe
Don't go down throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well you meant everything to them but you meant nothing to me

You got nothing I wish to steal
Cause i got nothing to give you on account of Lucille
She don't walk like a cripple should
Well she's Colombia's finest oh, she's better than good
Wednesday's DJs came in side ways
Yelling for the mother of the sister and the brother of Orla the tease

Well just slow down come on Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well she's nothing much to look at and she's hard to believe
Don't go down throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well you meant everything to them,
but you meant nothing to me

to moonn6pence from shootingstar(papayeverte)






Tell me where you been to
Point me to the door
I've seen you around
But I really can't be sure
If all the action men are busy
Climbing up the wall
Banging on the window
Tearing down the hall

And the last chance girl
In her first dance swirl
Lays her head down on the wooden floor
Won't be dancing any more

And where do they go when the thrills have gone
The last song plays down in Babylon
Five hundred kids shout "what's the deal?"
It's a very confusing way to feel

The radio is silent
Except for wicked bands
Sounded like the last one
Always in demand
And now the city is off limits
To everyone in blue
Nothing's getting in there
No-one's getting through

And it's no surprise
When the last guy dies
And the girl upon the wooden floor
Won't be dancing any more

And where do they go when the thrills have gone
The last song plays down in Babylon
Five hundred kids shout "what's the deal?"
It's a very confusing way to feel


김태홍님께...

Henrietta we got no flowers for you
Just these three miserable cunts
Sitting on the back seat banging on the off beat
We know you love us and you probably do
Although you’re husband may cut us
He’s such an animal though everything is possible

Give us a kiss and maybe we can go out
It’s hard to miss you when you follow us about
Buy us some shoes and maybe take us for cola
We’ll get you there in some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank and bump off your daddy
You can come live with us among the has beens
and the addicts
These are crazy times down at Costello music
You can answer the phone and talk nice
Anyway you choose it, come on

Dear Henrietta we’re just three lonely boys
Though the girls love us we’re so
Into you incredibly we’d love to see you terribly
We’d love to hate you but we don‘t have no choice
Come be our wa ha ha ha
Honey, honey three four one time once more

Give us a kiss and maybe we can go out
It’s hard to miss you when you follow us about
Buy us some shoes and maybe take us for cola
We’ll get you there in some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank and bump off your daddy
You can come live with us among the has beens
and the addicts
These are crazy times down at Costello music
You can answer the phone and talk nice
Anyway you choose it, come on
