I can just imagine you and me
Running out of steam
Going through the motions
I have no idea how you know
When I dip my toes
In other people's oceans

You have local knowledge
Of the local area
And that impressed me quite
So I tried that night
We did things I thought you'd like
But that just made it worse
And I impressed you not
Well not a lot

Slowly starting from the start

When the heat dies down
I'll be back in town
But until that time
I'll be round at mine
When the heat dies down
We'll be back in town
But until that time
I'll be round at mine

When the heat dies down
When the heat dies down
When the heat dies down
When the heat dies down

I can not imagine growing old
To have and to hold
Til death do part we told them
Right now I can stroll back 20 years
Spending time at hers
Talking to our mothers

I've got wider knowledge of the world
I just can't face another argument about the rent,
It all seems so important
In the grander scheme of things
But I was purpose built
To not feel guilt

Slowly ending at the end

When the heat dies down
I'll be back in town
But until that time
I'll be round at mine
When the heat dies down
We'll be back in town
But until that time
I'll be round at mine

When the heat dies down
When the heat dies down
When the heat dies down
When the heat dies down

When the heat dies down
When the heat dies down
When the heat dies down
When the heat dies down

I'll tell you what it's going to be like
I saw you on the bus and that was that
There's more to this than passing by
There's more to this than meets the eye
I'll tell you what it's going to be like
I saw you on the bus, I saw your shoes
They fell apart some time ago
I'll buy some more in five years
It's not my fault, I don't care
I don't regret a single thing
It's not my fault, I don't care
I don't regret a single thing
I'll tell you what its going to feel like
You lost a limb and you can feel it
If you leave, at night, not by my side
Cause I'm not there to hold you too tight
Leave, I'll tell you what its going to be like
No you can never hold my hand
If only they can know or understand
That you and me are now together
It's not my fault, I don't care
I don't regret a single thing
It's not my fault, I don't care
I don't regret a single thing
Oh oh, you can have it all, if that's alright
Oh I will give it all to you, cause you never lied before
And you can have it all, if that's alright
And you can have it all, if it's alright, oh oh oh
lalalala lala lala....
It's not my fault, I don't care
I don't regret a single thing
It's not my fault, I don't care
I don't regret a single thing
Oh oh, you can have it all, if that's alright
Oh I will give it all to you, cause you never lied before
And you can have it all, if that's alright
........(x3)
And you can have it all, if it's alright, oh oh oh

Time on your side that will never end
The most beautiful thing you can ever spend
But you work in a shirt with your nametag on it
Drifting apart like a plate tectonic
It don't matter to me
It's all I wanted to be
It's a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar

Too much time spent dragging the past up
I didn't see you not looking when I messed up
Settling down in your early twenties
Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist

It don't matter to me
It's all I wanted to be
It's a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar

Oh my god, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And Oh my, god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And Oh my, god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And Oh my, god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home

Great rulers make for greater glory
The only thing growing is on this story
Knock me down I'll get right back up again
It comes back stronger than a powered up Pac-Man

It don't matter to me
It's all I wanted to be
Is a million miles from here
Somewhere over there

Oh my god, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And Oh my, god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And Oh my, god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And Oh my, god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home

Oh my god, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And Oh my, god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And Oh my, god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And Oh my, god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home

You and me we're made
It's impossible to say to me
Together always
Then you moved away
To the capital of England
I hope you stay there
Once you asked me what I'm thinking
I lay back and think of England
Do you know the real answer?
I was born to be a dancer

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh

I came down at your
On the national express
Request to touch your breasts
And there I found that you
You were hanging with crowd
Hello, of cheats and liars

Do you know what I've been thinking?
I lay back and think of England
Do you know the real answer?
I was born to be a dancer

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh

Once you asked me what I'm thinking?
I lay back and think of England
Do you know the real answer?
I was born to be a dancer

Do you know what I've been thinking?
I lay back and think of England
Do you know the real answer?
I was born to be a dancer

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Suddenly there's a knock at your head
Don't let the music come and try and take your TV set
Ha-ha-ha-happiness is a bowl in your hand
You've got to try and blow this party trip as far as you cann
Cre-cre-cre-creosote is pouring out of my brain
And ... crick in your neck
Get a room, get a head, get a hat
We'll come and do the ... where the trouble is at

Come to the city on a Saturday night
Watching the boys on their motorbikes
I wanna be like those guys
I wanna wear my clothes tight
Matching jackets and a fistful of notes
New sneakers and a fresh pack of smokes

Ne-ne-ne-nuerofenmax is a word and a mum
They're just trying to put the punk back into punch-a-monk
Pe-pe-pe-panic over party off party on
We are birds of a feather and you can be the fat one

Come to the city on a Saturday night
Open your heads like a satellite
I wanna see what they see
I wanna love you like crazy
Count your ... out of your face
Can see into your room from outer space

Come to the city on a Saturday night
It's not the size of the nine until five
I wanna know what that does
I wanna show what matters
Cause it's the size of the fire and man
That makes the difference to the size of the sham
Cut through the city on a Saturday night
Cause you and me are we're on the edge of the night

Come to the city on a Saturday night
I asked your mother and she said it's alright
We're getting married when we're thirty
Gonna do it on your birthday
Cause I don't wanna waste a moment with you
I just wanna live the whole night through
Cut through the city on a Saturday night
Cause you and me are we're on the edge of the night

Head down, keep your head down
Keep the ramp down all the time
Hold tight, to your red stripe
Why do we fight everytime
I wish that you could see me in the day
I hope that you'll remember me that way

Nightclub, more the lights stop
Stopped to... all the time
I treat you like the see-through
I don't mean to everytime

I wish that you could see me in the day
I hope that you'll remember me that way

What did I ever give you
When you wanted me to
All I gave you was pain
And a look of distain
What did I ever give you
When you wanted me to
All I gave you was grief
Are you sick to your teeth

Disgraced, back to my place
I'm a complete waste of your time
I'm asleep before the first sheep
Until the last bleep of all time

I wish that you could see me in the day
I hope that you'll remember me that way

What did I ever give you
When you wanted me to
All I gave you was pain
And a look of distain
What did I ever give you
When you wanted me to
All I gave you was grief
Are you sick to your teeth

What did I ever give you
When you wanted me to
All I gave you was pain
And a look of distain
What did I ever give you
When you wanted me to
All I gave you was grief
Are you sick to your teeth

What did I ever...

Well it's time honoured tradition
To get enough nutrition
Stay alive until you die
And that is the end of you
And I pity the fools
Who don't recognize the rules
We cannot cheat the reapers reap
And that is the end of that
That is the end of that
That is the end of that
That is the end of that

Ho ho ho ho...

Well it's not an old wives tale
Too much red meat and ale
Will make you pay get five a day
Or that is the end of you

And it's a common misconception
But true without exception
These nights of booze catch up with you's
And that is an actual fact
That is the end of that
That is the end of that
That is the end of that

Ho ho ho ho...
La lalala...

It's time honoured tradition

And I pity the fools
Who don't recognize the rules

And that is the end of that

You've done well my boy, my oh my
I bet you thought that you had won this time
Watch your back because revenge is sweet
And you are everything I wanna be
You got everything so why oh why
Did you have to take Caroline?
I bet you thought that was the death of me
Cause you are everything I wanna be
In my life
In my life
You go your way and I'll go mine
But my way's better and it took less time
People say now that you look like me
Cause you are everything I wanna be
In my life
In my life
Aaaah...
Cause you are everything I wanna be
In my life
In my life
In my life
In my life

Let it never be said, that romance is dead
Cos there’s so little else occupying my head
There is nothing I need except the function to breathe
But I’m not really fussed, doesn’t matter to me

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Know what ya doing, doing to me?
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa

Due to lack of interest tomorrow is cancelled
Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held
Cos there’s nothing at all except the space in between
Finding out what you’re called and repeating your name

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
[ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ]

Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Know what ya doing, doing to me?
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa, aaaa

Could it be, could it be that you’re joking with me
And you don’t really see you with me
Could it be, could it be that you’re joking with me
And you don’t really see you with me

[Instrumental]

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Know what ya doing, doing to me?
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa

Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa (Da da da, da da da)

I can prove anything
I'll make you admit again and again
I can prove anything
The way that it's read again and again

And its only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
It's only cos you follow what the others do
It's no excuse to say your easily lead

You can choose anything
You choose to lose again and again
You could do anything
Why should you do anything again

And its only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Winding yourself up until your turning blue
Repeating everything that you've read

And here we go with the letter
Well can you fix it for me
Cos we need entertainment
To keep us all off the streets

So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

You can try anything
And no-one would know apart from you and me
You can stop anything
It's starts with just one and turns to two then three

Its only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Raise a glass or two
You raise a fist or two
Get a shopping basket wrapped round your head

So here we go with the letter
Oh can you fix it for me
24 hour drinking
To keep us all off the streets

So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

We are the angry mob

I remember nights when we were young
They weren't very good they were rubbish
Running round Highroyds isn't fun
Just teenagers testing their courage

Standing outside nightclubs in the snow
Is not very cool or impressive
They let in all the girls from the year below
No need for I.D's with those dresses

Got news from afar
From a girl who knows who we are
She's still got my dinner money
She can keep it

Never had a fight that we haven't lost
We're not very tough or athletic
Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock
And when he gets out I'll regret it

Got keys to a car
Picked up a girl from Boston Spa
For fast food and the cinema
It's not worth it

Got word from down south
Well he had heard about it word of mouth
Haven't much stayed in touch
Since Highroyds

Let it go and let it go
And if I'm wrong then I won't know
'Cause no one's gonna tell me but a friend
But he has gone and Ian's gone
And everybody went along
And nobody was left here in the end

Got news from uncle Hugh
Through a second cousin once removed
It's too late there's a housing estate
It's called Highroyds

Got a text from an ex
She wants to know when we're in London next
"And will you write a song about me?"
I don't think so

I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore,
I know, I've said all this and that you've heard it, all before,
The trick is, getting you to think that all this, was your idea,
And that this, was everything you've ever wanted, out of here,

Love's not a competition but I'm winning.

I'm not sure, what's truly altruistic, anymore,
When every, good thing that I do is listed, and you're keeping score,

Love's not a competition but I'm winning.
Love's not a competition but I'm winning.

At least I thought I was, but there's no way of knowing,
At least I thought I was, but there's no way of knowing,
You know what it's like when you're new to the game but I'm not.

I won't, be the one to disappoint you,
I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore

I won't, be the one to disappoint you,
I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore

I won't, be the one to disappoint you,
I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore

I won't, be the one to disappoint you,
I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore

Didn't expect any of this
But it was really nice
Didnt want you to cause a fuss
But it feels alive

So Thank you very much
It's really nice to know
That you enjoyed the show
And I want you to know when to go
Cos this should be a thrill
But it feels like a drill
Now you must let me go, let me go

I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do

I remember what it was like
And it was really nice
Never thought I would experience this
From the other side

So Thank you very much
It's really nice to know
That you enjoyed the show
And I want you to know when to go
Cos this should be a thrill
But it feels like a drill
Now you must let me go, let me go

I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do

None of the buildings even look the same,
And underneath them all the shops have changed.
I don't pretend they're in a lot more pain,
Stocking much too young for the professionals to stay in.

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.

I'm in tunnel to the north again
Everybody has to talk on the train.
And if you've got nothing thats clever to say,
Nobody's listening to you anyway.

'Cos I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
But it wouldn't be very good.

La la la, la la la la la la la la la~

What you want here?
It doesn't matter!
I don't think that it can be done without you.
What you doing?
It doesn't matter!
But everything that's done is all about you

We convince each other nothing has changed
Nobody else will ever write the same
We're out of tension thought the stage is not blame
For your protection all the names have been changed

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
But it wouldn't be very good

Well it starts as a joke
Like a stick in your spokes
Or removing the bolt of the brakes

Then the bicycle flips
Crushing ribs smashing hips
And he broke every bone in his face

Now you're out of control
And you can't fill the hole
That was left by the thrill of the chase
You're a right piece of work
All the flakes go berserk
Have you forgotten how good they taste

You're my kind of guy
Cos I like your style
And you sound as horrible as me
And I don't mind if you're unkind
Cos you're reminding me of me

As the bicycle race
Gathers speed, gathers pace
And you feel that you're going too fast
Theres a word to the wise
You should take some advice
As the nice guys always finish last

You're my kind of guy
Cos I like your style
And you sound as horrible as me
And I don't mind if you're unkind
Cos you're reminding me of me

You're my kind of guy
Cos I like your style
You sound as horrible as me
And heads will roll
As it takes it's toll
On you and me

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo
Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
Everyone would do it if they can
And everything is going down the pan
And everyone is following the craze
And everything is average

Now you say it's getting better
But I don't really see the signs
Said it is too different
You thought it would be suicide

Not much to believe in
Left up on a shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Ohhhh Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
And everything is of no consequence
Cos everyone is sitting on the fence
And everything will always stay the same
Cos everything is average

Now you said you didn't mean it
You threw away the book of rules
You thought that we should read it
I wouldn't even know how to

Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else

All I need is a ball and a wall
Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather
All I need is a ball and a wall
A sledge and a hill in heavy weather

Oh oh oh oh ~

Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
Everyone would do it if they can
And everything is going down the pan
And everyone is following the craze
And everything is average nowadays

I can't do it any quicker
I don't want it any slicker
As far as the eye can see
Is miles and miles of icy sea.

So try your best
And think about it later
Or you will never know

I don't feel fear anymore
But I can't risk getting mauled
As far as the ear can hear
The wave is coming loud and clear

So try your best
And think about it later
Or you will never know
So try your best
And think about it later
Or you will never know
Which way your life could go
And you'll know when you know

So try your best
And think about it later
Or you will never know
Which way your life could go
And you'll know when you know

There are many things that I would be proud of
If I'd only invented them such as the wheel
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
On these inventions surely I could retire

I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye
With a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high
And tell nobody why

There are many things that I know I could do
If I'd only have wanted to, such as create
The perfect soulmate everyone would admire
On this creation surely I could retire

I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye
With a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high
And not to answer to why

I want to retire
Inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style
And not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky
I Got my fingers in pies
A Golden watch on my side
Will measure my free time

Now my place in History is surely assured
I will be remembered here forever more
Brand new product in place and a potential buyer
Up on this next transaction surely I could retire

I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye
With a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high
And not to answer to why

I want to retire
Inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style
And not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky
I Got my fingers in pies
A Golden watch on my side
Will measure my free time

Well it's time honoured tradition
