The Model Lyrics
15 ContributorsThe Model LyricsI will confess to you
Because you made me think about the times
You turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over
The picture was a masterpiece of comic timing
But you wouldn't laugh at all
And I wondered what the boy was thinking
The picture was an old collage of something classical
The model with a tragic air
Because without a doubt, he'd given up the fight
The ghost of somebody at his side
I will confess to you
Because I didn't think about the message
As I walked down the alleyway
It was a Sunday
All my friends deserted me
Because you painted me as the fraud I really was
And if you think you see with just your eyes, you're mad
Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold
When she knew she had been bad
She met another blind kid at a fancy dress
It was the best sex that she ever had
I'll send a dress to you
Because it's needing badly taken in
I was so embarrassed that I missed your party
It was me that paid for it eventually
'Cause you know how much I wanted
To meet your friend, the star of stage and local press
The dream of all the bowlie kids that hang around here
I'm no different from the rest
I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay
With the girl next door who's famous for showing her chest
You're not impressed by me
But it's a funny way for you to tell me
A whisper in a choir stall
The man was talking about you simultaneously
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter
Because I have been sleeping badly lately
I know you were historical from all the books I've read
But I thought you could be bluffing
And with this chance I've missed, I feel remiss
It's days and months before I see you again
The Wrong Girl Lyrics
5 ContributorsThe Wrong Girl LyricsI went looking for my darling
I went looking for a sign
And I found her in the morning
Somewhere in the back of my mind
I'm not what I could be
I need a true love
I went looking and I found one
The wrong girl, the wrong kind
The wrong hand to be holding
The wrong eyes to go searching behind
The wrong dream to have in my mind
I went looking for my darling
I went looking for a sign
And I found her in the morning
Somewhere in the back of my mind
I'm not what I could be
I need a true love
I went looking and I found one
The wrong girl, the wrong kind
The wrong hand to be holding
The wrong eyes to go searching behind
The wrong dream to have in my mind
I'm not what I could be
I need a true love
I went looking and I found one
The wrong girl, the wrong kind
The wrong hand to be holding
The wrong eyes to go searching behind
The wrong dream to have in my mind
The Chalet Lines Lyrics
11 ContributorsThe Chalet Lines LyricsHe raped me in the chalet lines
The girl I shared with was away for the night
I couldnāt get up for my shift today
Iāll have to leave the camp now anyway
Iāll go to London, thereās a mate of mine I know
Sheāll give me a place full of woe and further to go
He raped me in the chalet lines
I had just said no for the final time
Although itās last month, itās like yesterday
I missed my time, I donāt think I could stand to take the test
Iām feeling sick, fuck this, Iāve felt like this for a week
Iād put a knife right into his eyes
My friend canāt see, she asks me why I donāt tell the law
Oh, whatās the fucking point at all?
He raped me in the chalet lines
It was a party, it was going fine
With the boys from the amusement park
A few were idiots, they were a really good laugh
They had the shows on till way after dark
I hope sheāll give me a place full of woe and further to go
(She caught the bus)
āOh, Iāll go anywhereā
(She caught the bus)
Her face was just a smear on the pane
Nice Day for a Sulk Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Nice day for a sulk, the girl smells of milk
Her horsey teeth explode around us
And we run for cover, she found us
In the cheapo bar with a bag of chips
[Verse 2]
Nice day for a mood, the forecast is good
The kids are melting in the doorway
Keep the gang together, there's no way
You will ever be misunderstood by me
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Nice day for a jam, The Fall, Manfred Mann
Dance party summer lasts forever
When the band's together and Bobby
Drank too much and fell in the Clyde
Family Tree Lyrics
6 ContributorsFamily Tree LyricsIāve been feeling down
Iāve been looking round the town
For somebody just like me
But the only ones I see
Are the dummies in the window
They spend their money on clothes
It saddens me to think
That the only ones I see are mannequins
Looking stupid, being used and being thin
And I donāt know why I hang around with them
The way they act, Iād rather be fat than be confused
The way they act, Iād rather be fat than be confused
Than be me in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia
Iāve been feeling blue
And I donāt know what to do
And I never get a thrill
And they threw me out of school
Cause I swore at all the teachers
Because they never teach us
A thing I want to know
We do Chemistry, Biology and Maths
I want Poetry and Music and some laughs
And I donāt think itās an awful lot to ask
So wonāt you please get up off your knees, and let me go
So wonāt you please get up off your knees, and let me go
Cause Iām here in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia
If my family tree goes back to the Romans
Then I will change my name to Jones
If my family tree goes back to Napolean
Then I will change my name to Smith
If my family tree goes back to the Romans
Then I will change my name to Jones
If youāre looking at me to be an accountant
Then you will look but you will never see
If youāre looking at me to start having babies
Then you can wish because Iām not here to fool around
You can wish because Iām not here to fool around
You can wish because Iām not here to fool around
You can wish because Iām not here to fool around
You can wish because Iām not here to fool around
Thereās Too Much Love Lyrics
13 ContributorsThereās Too Much Love LyricsI could hang about and burn my fingers
I've been hanging out here, waiting for something to start
You think I'm faultless to a T
My manner set impeccably
But underneath I am the same as you
I could dance all night like I'm a soul boy
But you know I'd rather drag myself across the dance floor
I feel like dancing on my own
Where no one knows me and where I
Can cause offense just by the way I look
And when it comes to blows
When I am numbering my foes
Just hope that you are on my side, my dear
But it's best to finish as we started
With my face head-down, just staring at the brown Formica
It's safer not to look around
I can't hide my feelings from you now
There's too much love to go around these days
You say I've got another face
That's not a fault of mine these days
I'm brutal, honest and afraid of you
It's safer not to look around
There's no hiding my feelings from you now
There's too much love to go around these days
You say I've got another face
That's not a fault of mine these days
I'm honest, brutal and afraid of you
