Pink Cactus Café (2024)












Sweet Surrender lyrics - The Courteeners (feat. Brooke Combe)

Another rottweiler in the bar
Says, "Can she even play guitar?"
Put another idea into my precious head
I left him to his own devices
A Taurus and a lonely Pisces
Never likely contenders to break bread

Relying on the vindication
Of a split and a lonely nation
Will never get you to your place

Sweet, sweet surrender
Let those fools pass you by

A cockroach in the cubicle
I recognise his face from school
And his genius is buzzing in my head
Bless this mess with holy water
Say "Ta-ra your taxi's ordered"
Never likely contenders to break bread

Relying on the vindication
Of a split and a lonely nation
Will never get you to your place

Sweet, sweet surrender
Let those fools pass you by

Sweet, sweet surrender
Let those fools pass you by

Sweet, sweet surrender
Let those fools pass you by

Weekend Shy Of A Feeling lyrics - The Courteeners

Sum it up and look it up, and ask for it all once more
Spit it out and if you're out, I don't know anything at all
Is that all we ever needed?
Is that all we ever needed?
So sum it up and look it up, and ask for it all once more
Ask it all once more
Ask it all once more
Is that all we ever needed?
Is that all we ever needed?
So sum it up and look it up

And I
I knew this wouldn't be easy
I guess, I
I'm a weekend shy of a feeling

Do you think it's easy, do you?
Think it's easy?
I don't
Do you think it's easy?
I don't think it's easy
'Cause I
I'm a weekend shy of a feeling

Tie me up, or give it up and ask for an overhaul
Take me out for a knockabout against the wall of the town hall
Is that all we ever needed?
Is that all we ever needed?
So tie me up, or give it up and ask for it all once more
And catch me when I fall
Catch me when I fall
Is that all we ever needed?
Is that all we ever needed?
So tie me up, or give it up

And I
I knew this wouldn't be easy
I guess, I
I'm a weekend shy of a feeling

Do you think it's easy, do you?
Think it's easy?
I don't
Do you think it's easy?
I don't think it's easy
'Cause I
I'm a weekend shy of a feeling

You're always playing, why you always saying you will?
You're always playing, why you always saying you will?
You're always playing, why you always saying you will?
You're always playing, why you always saying you will?
You're always playing, why you always saying you will?
You're always playing, why you always saying you will?
You're always playing, why?

And I
I knew this wouldn't be easy
I guess, I
I'm a weekend shy of a feeling

Do you think it's easy, do you?
Think it's easy?
I don't
Do you think it's easy?
I don't think it's easy
'Cause I
I'm a weekend shy of a feeling

Pink Cactus Café lyrics - The Courteeners

I fell in love with your band
We were looking up at the sky
Drawing lines in the sand
It was perfect weather to fly

So will you take me away
Back to beach on the edge of Marseille
Both of us just ignoring the world
For the day, what d'you say?

Because lately
I've been running out of things to do
And so maybe
Make a reservation just for two
I think I need it
'Cause I've been daydreaming
Of the Pink Cactus Café
So save me
I've been running out of things to do
I need a rendezvous

Driving back to your town
I really like what they've done to the place
My surroundings were bringing me down
Needed to find a familiar face

So will you take me away
Back to beach on the edge of Marseille
Both of us just ignoring the world
For the day, what d'you say?

Because lately
I've been running out of things to do
And so maybe
Make a reservation just for two
I think I need it
'Cause I've been daydreaming
Of the Pink Cactus Café
And so save me
I've been running out of things to do
I need a rendezvous

Because lately
I've been running out of things to do
And so maybe
Make a reservation just for two
I think I need it
'Cause I've been daydreaming
Of the Pink Cactus Café
And so save me
I've been running out of things to do
I need a rendezvous

Where Are We Now? lyrics - The Courteeners

Flying in the face of the rain
Crash landing in front of you
Looking for the left side of my brain
When I'm standing in front of you
Searching for honesty
Does it ever end, because it's always you under the new moon
We're holding out for something special

It's déjà vu with your powder blues
I look in your eyes and I hope that you stick around

Where are we now?
'Cause I wanna be, wanna be yours
Where are we now?
'Cause I wanna be, wanna be yours
Where are we now?

What am I supposed to see
In this familiar masquerade?
And how is it ten to three, still staring at an accolade?
Trying to fill the void
Doing the long read

It's always you with your powder blues
I look in your eyes and I hope that you stick around

Where are we now?
'Cause I wanna be, wanna be yours
Where are we now?
'Cause I wanna be, wanna be yours
Where are we now?
'Cause I wanna be, wanna be yours

I don't need any more friends, another chat to leave and then make amends
Kick the kerbstone, maybe it's a "no"
But I look in your eyes and hope that you stick around

Where are we now?
'Cause I wanna be, wanna be yours
Where are we now?
'Cause I wanna be, wanna be yours
Where are we now?
'Cause I wanna be, wanna be yours
Where are we now?
'Cause I wanna be, wanna be yours
Where are we now?

Where are we now?

The Beginning Of The End lyrics - The Courteeners (feat. DMA'S)

Is this the beginning of the end?
And is this your brand new friend?
I never saw it coming
I never saw it coming

Am I just a sinner on the mend?
And are these the plans you send?
I never saw 'em coming
I never saw 'em coming

What you running for?
What you running for?
I really wanna know now
I really wanna know now
What you running for?
What you running for?
I really wanna know now
I really wanna know now

Can you explain the last few days?
And erase the lasting pain?
I never saw it coming
I never saw it coming

So are you coming back around?
Say goodbye to the old stomping ground
They never saw you coming
We never saw you coming

Oh, what you running for?
What you running for?
I really wanna know now
I really wanna know now
What you running for?
What you running for?
I really wanna know now
I really wanna know now

I don't wanna walk into the fight again
I wish we could talk into the night again
Scaling the heights of the night time sky
Sailing away with our heads held high
I don't wanna walk into the fight again
I wish we could talk into the night again
Scaling the heights of the night time sky
Sailing away with our heads held high

What you running for?
What you running for?
I really wanna know now
I really wanna know now
Oh, what you running for?
What you running for?
I really wanna know now
I really wanna know now

Out of here
And we're out of here
And we're out of here
And we're out of here
And we're out

Solitude Of The Night Bus lyrics - The Courteeners

I can't figure out just where my confidence went
Last time I checked all of it was spent
I would try and figure out a little place I could go
A storm in a teacup or a fight in the snow
If there is a problem would you put me on hold
I'm too busy working overtime striking a pose
I would flex my little wrists, until the demons get the gist
Until they leave me alone
Leave me alone

And so they leave me alone
They leave me alone
And so they leave me alone
Leave me alone

And now I'm drinking alone again
Wrapped up on the twenty past ten
Happiness is this warm fuzz
This is the solitude of the night bus
Solitude of the night bus
Solitude of the night bus
Sorry mate, you alright boss?
Yes, it's the solitude of the night bus
And I swear I was there
With my arms up in the air
This is the solitude of the night bus

And so they leave me alone
Leave me alone
And so they leave me alone
They leave me alone
And so they leave me alone
Leave me alone

And so they leave me alone
They leave me alone
And so they leave me alone
Leave me alone

I couldn't figure out where all my confidence went
Last time I checked all of it was spent
I would try and figure out a little place I could go
A storm in a teacup or a fight in the snow
If there is a problem would you put me on hold
I'm too busy working overtime striking a pose
I will flex my little wrists until the demons get the gist
Until they leave me alone, leave me alone

And so they leave me alone
They leave me alone
And so they leave me alone
Leave me alone

I'm drinking alone again, wrapped up on the twenty past ten
Happiness is this warm fuzz
This is the solitude of the night bus

First Name Terms lyrics - The Courteeners (feat. Pixey)

Lie back and think of England
But when does England ever think of you?

Another day, another queue at A&E
They look away, they look away at you and me
Another way for them to shake the fucking tree
They look away, they look away from you and me

A line down the middle that serves the top
Using your mind as a little gift shop and they sell you ideas that you never once thought
Ave Maria, will they ever get caught?
Cost of living going off the rails
A buffoon goes missing in his hat and tails
Have we forgotten what we're supposed to be?
We'll see

Lie back and think of England
But when does England ever think of you?
Lie back and think of England
But when does England ever think of you?

Another loss, another cut, another fail
Light a fire and send them all to fucking jail
Another lie for them to tell, I guarantee
They look away, they look away from you and me

A line down the middle that serves the top
Using your mind as a little gift shop, and they sell you ideas that you never once thought
Ave Maria, will they ever get caught?
Cost of living going off the rails
A buffoon goes missing in his hat and tails
Have we forgotten what we're supposed to be?
We'll see

Lie back and think of England
But when does England ever think of you?
Lie back and think of England
But when does England ever think of you?
Lie back and think of England
But when does England ever think of you?
Lie back and think of England
But when does England ever think of you?

Lu Lu lyrics - The Courteeners

Of every heart you break

You're in Paris again
You promised you'd only be ten
Lu Lu, I wish I was wrong
But you always string me along, so you know that

I'm still standing
And I'm still landing on every single breath that you take
Why d'you tell 'em, that I'm still jealous
Of every heart you break and so why d'you think that I am

Trying to forget you
Even after all we've been through
I've been trying to forget you
Even after all we've been through

Separate ways
For seven consecutive days
You're runnin' amok in my mind all the time
I'm admitting the fact that I missed all the signs

But I'm still standing
And I'm still landing on every single breath that you take
Why d'you tell 'em, that I'm still jealous
Of every heart you break and so why d'you think that I am

Trying to forget you
Even after all we've been through
I've been trying to forget you
Even after all we've been through
Even after all we've been through

Every heart you break
Every heart you break
Every heart you break now
Every heart now
Every heart you break
Every heart you break
Every heart you break now
Every heart now

Now, I'm still standing
And I'm still landing on every single breath that you take
Why d'you tell 'em, that I'm still jealous
Of every heart you break and so why d'you think that I am

Trying to forget you
Even after all we've been through
I've been trying to forget you
Even after all we've been through
Even after all we've been through
Even after all we've been through

Love You Any Less lyrics - The Courteeners

So you're scrolling through your chats and you wonder what's that?
It's a brand new fella on her WhatsApp profile picture
I bet he's lovely to her mum, I bet she calls him "son"
Both feet under the table but are you willing and able?

So I
I wish I would have told you
Exactly what the note said
You're still on my mind

There's no way that I can love you any less
And my mind's mixed up, I'm a mess and I can't express
Any of the things that I want to tell you
Any of the things that I want to tell you
But there's no way that I can love you any less

So you're drinking just enough to be thinking off the cuff
Of all the things that you want to make better but just couldn't

The speakers are still singing your songs
I can't do another week of wrongs
Don't press "Repeat", press "Repeat"
Don't you forget about me

So I
I wish would have told you
Exactly what the note said
You're still on my mind

There's no way that I can love you any less
And my mind's mixed up, I'm a mess and I can't express
Any of the things that I want to tell you
Any of the things that I want to tell you
But there's no way that I can love you any less

There's no way that I can love you any less
And my mind's mixed up, I'm a mess and I can't express
Any of the things that I want to tell you
Any of the things that I want to tell you
But there's no way that I can love you any less

Bitten By Unseen Teeth lyrics - The Courteeners

How are ya now?
Do you work for a living?
What was it your sister said
And is she still forgiving?
I know it's hard
Looking at those photographs
Oh, why can't we stop looking?
What is it we're looking for?

Sitting here in the service of avoidance
Cross-legged at your service

I've been bitten by unseen teeth
Memories keeping control of me
Bitten by unseen teeth
Snatched me from the jaws of our defeat

We lie awake
In separate rooms, in separate cities
All of our friends
Are going out and getting giddy
Your bedside table
Is looking at me funny
Running out of good ideas, staying indoors when it's sunny

Sitting here in the service of avoidance
Cross-legged at your service

I've been bitten by unseen teeth
Memories keeping control of me
Bitten by unseen teeth
Snatched me from the jaws of our defeat
Bitten by unseen teeth
Bitten by unseen teeth

Leopard print, peppermint, there's a couple staring over at us, don't look
America is calling your, there's a bellboy writing secrets in his book
And it reads

That I've been bitten by unseen teeth
Memories keeping control of me
Bitten by unseen teeth
Snatched me from the jaws of our defeat
Bitten by unseen teeth
