This Aint A Radio Sound

I settle for enough
It's a drag reading all of this stuff
In a world that's given up look out before you cover up
When I lost my way on a permanent haze I still celebrated your birthdays
I needed a lift just to get off the ground but I know that this aint a radio sound
Around and around goes the radio sound
I settle for ideas that I've been dragging around for years
I pull out all of the stops but don't wait for the pressure to drop
When I lost my way on a permanent haze I still celebrated your birthdays
I needed a lift just to get off the ground but I know that this aint a radio sound
Around and around goes the radio sound
If you say you don't bite they won't believe there's every chance you might
and if you say you're out of fight they'll say there's more to life than this
there's got to be more to life
I settle down instead
I'm too tired to entertain my friends
I only needed a shove because promises are never enough
When I lost my way on a permanent haze I still celebrated your birthdays
I needed a lift just to get off the ground but I know that this aint a radio sound
Around and around goes the radio sound

The Day I Call You Mine
01:46

I've been told that holding out for luck is a foolish game
Fools rush in where angels sing and nobody ever takes the blame
Well I try, I try, I try but still you leave me far behind
I can't wait until the day I call you mine
I've been told two broken hearts will beat in stereo
No one else can take your place, my heart won't let you go
Well I try, I try, I try but still get taken for a ride
I can't wait until the day I call you mine
I've been told that fantasising kills you in the end
Memories still suffocate, I know you're never coming back again
Well I try, I try, I've tried but only you can put this right
I can't wait until the day I call you mine

Daydreaming
02:33

You told me what's been on your mind
and then you told me what the tears on your pillow are trying to hide
While you were daydreaming
I know, I know
While you were daydreaming I was dreaming it too
You told me that you miss those times
and then you told me it's too little too late for any wedding bell chimes
We're only daydreaming
I know, I know
While you were daydreaming I was dreaming it too
You told me this is how to survive
and then you told me you'll feel better in the morning just get on with your life
It's only daydreaming
I know, I know
While you were daydreaming I was dreaming it too

Kisses Are History

Oh,oh I should have been the one to make you
I should have been the one to take you all the world around
Oh,oh I should have been the one you're updating
I shouldn't be the one who's left waiting out of mind and out of sight
Even though we can't decide we twist the knife around inside
Once you were a mystery but now your kisses are history
and if all this was meant to be then so much for love
Oh,oh I should have been the one to save you
I should have been the one who gave you all the love around
Oh,oh I should have been the one to spell you
I should have been the one to tell you that everything is gonna be alright
Even though we can't decide we twist the knife around inside
Once you were a mystery but now your kisses are history
and if all this was meant to be then so much for love

Ever since we talked about the stars that burn into the night
I have tried in vain to separate the darkness from the light
& I know you find it hard because your friends don't have a clue
they ask why your brown eyes look so blue
Everything you said runs through my head both in sequence and in time
& the secrets that you tell me are forever yours and mine
but when aeroplanes and love letters are complicated too
tell me why your brown eyes look so blue
Every time your voice it hesitates I wonder if you might
we recall the words I wrote to you by television light
till the universe is satisfied it's hard to make it through
& that is why your brown eyes look so blue

She wanted more than just anyone
She needed more than just anyone
Stop breaking it all apart just for love
Stop taking it out on yourself
This is about a girl who loves the sun
She wasn't young like she was before
She needed time but there isn't more
Stop breaking it all apart just for love
Stop taking it out on yourself
This is about a girl who loves the sun
She wanted starlight and golden hair
She chased the moonlight and ocean air
Stop breaking it all apart just for love
Stop taking it out on yourself
This is about a girl who loves the sun

I try so hard but I can't see where I keep going wrong
now after all this time it seems we're stuck where we belong
If I sit down they all stand up
If I say Hi they all shut up
But I'll get by, bye-bye
You don't believe me
I've bought a ticket, I've made a plan. It's just too adventurous
cause everyone can see but me that hope is dangerous
If I sit down they all stand up
If I say Hi they all shut up
But I'll get by, bye-bye
You don't believe me
You've shut me out, I've lost control. I spend so much time alone
When I was young, when I was old, and now every story told
If I sit down they all stand up
If I say Hi they all shut up
But I'll get by, bye-bye
You don't believe me
Oh no

A sullen girl once said to me that the good things in life aint for free
don't give up so soon, your chance will come
there's somebody out there for everyone
Good girls don't break hearts
I stop you in your tracks and then I cross my heart all over again
cos you've got the kind of smile that makes the day so long it keeps the night awake
Good girls don't break hearts
Don't waste your time preparing lies, if you run away or apologise it's all the same, you get what you deserve
I stepped back before I lost my nerve
Good girls don't break hearts
I still remember the time
Good girls don't break hearts

Empty Pages

You choose the song & I'll learn the words to the chorus and the verse
On Halloween I couldn't hide
Don't stir it up, don't turn it upside down
I can't compete with Camden Town
We keep it bottled up like wine
Empty pages seem to say the words my tears would wash away
because I still love you
and I'm gonna write my name in stars if we can go back to the start
the past is always young at heart
Empty pages, stories torn apart
I walk the line between love and pain, I spill my guts out down the drain
It's real life I can't provide
Two broken hands, I couldn't write it down
Feet frozen to the ground
Ocean and time the great divide
Empty pages seem to say the words my tears would wash away
because I still love you
and I'm gonna write my name in stars if we can go back to the start
the past is always young at heart
Empty pages, stories torn apart
We broke it down, left some things out
The things we never talked about but I know now
Did something happen in between the time it takes for you and me?
For what it's worth & for what I know now
that I'm gonna write my name in stars if we can go back to the start
the past is always young at heart
Empty pages, stories torn apart

Had Enough This Time
02:53

I know that it's cold outside but it's cold inside too
and I know that you talk, talk, talk but I forget who you're talking to
and I know you heard a rumour that you'll be spreading soon
It's what you do
what you always do
Your vanity is not a crime but I think I've had enough this time
I try to keep an open mind but I think I've had enough this time
I know that it's dark in here but it's dark outside too
and I know that you've missed your train but I've missed my train too
and I know you still have the dream and there's nothing I can do
I can do
nothing I can do
Your vanity is not a crime but I think I've had enough this time
I try to keep an open mind but I think I've had enough this time
Time spent without you, it aint no time at all
Time spent without you, it aint no time
no time at all
it means nothing at all
Your vanity is not a crime but I think I've had enough this time
I try to keep an open mind but I think I've had enough this time

Telephone Lies
03:48

I get suspicious when I see you've done the dishes
I get nervous, I get restless too
I don't know where I slept last night, but I can find out if you like, in maybe just an hour maybe two
You could have given up yourself than let me hear it from someone else
I keep on reaching your telephone lies
I'm seeing clearer as I step back from the mirror
If I'm in trouble, you're in trouble too
I comb my hair as I walk downstairs, avoid international affairs
A holiday's a change, something to do
I call you up, your voice and mine, this shouldn't happen for a second time
I keep on reaching your telephone lies
She said you've gotta wait
She said you've gotta wait
She said you've gotta wait
She said you've gotta wait
I stop competing and turn down the central heating
I kick the covers off and think it through
The night we were so unprepared when I held your hand in Soho Square
I wonder if you think about it too
I caught you up, your mistake not mine
I shouldn't laugh but why should I cry?
I keep on reaching your telephone lies
I'm always reaching your telephone lies

Something happened to the Pop music on the radio, let's put up a fight before we hop on a flight to Tokyo
I thought I was the only one to feel this way until I saw her at the Record Swap.
Second hand & hand-me-downs, with a can of cherry pop, I'd never seen her face around
I thought I was the only one to feel this way until I fell in love with a girl wearing silver shoes.
I'm still dreaming at the coffee shop that we're on Sunset Boulevard.
Around & around, around the clock, black or white with our regards
I thought I was the only one to feel this way until I saw them holding hands on top of the Number 29, I didn't hear the penny drop, she said "this aint your stop, it's mine"
I'll always be the only one to feel this way but still I fell in love with a girl wearing silver shoes.
I fell in love with a girl wearing silver shoes because in a world without love it's hard to stay young
