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
Car 31 lyrics - The Courteeners
Flirting with a floozy
I heard there was talk of a Jacuzzi
And she's lapping up your charm
A little bit faster than it oozes
Her ex is there and he's fiddling with his hair
At the back of the minibus
Said they'll die
Pretending he doesn't care
Car 31
What have you done?
You're taking everyone home
Spoiling the fun
And there's a cardigan in the corner
And she's starting to bore you
But you can't say a word
In case her sister finds out
I should definitely warn you
It's happening again
There's a crowd of you in the rain
Now your gutted cause you look back
And reminisce and realise it's never the same
Car 31
What have you done?
You're taking everyone home
Spoiling the fun
Not One Could I Give lyrics - The Courteeners
Now she's seeing this extremely well-mannered
Good looking chap
He's got the tendency to walk around
And kick your face in and that
He wears his trainers and some very interesting jeans
Some lovely tops
Only last week did we hear those nasty rumours
About him shoplifting shops
Well that's just me and I'm probably biased
And I say oh no I'm not one to try her
I hope they're happy and ever after they live
Actually no that's rubbish and not one could I give
Now look listen it is not like he's my friend
In fact I don't hardly know him
But I know him well enough to tell you that his highlights were bad
I mean they're fucking glowing
So I said look listen can you please turn away
'Cause my eyes are getting dead sore
The truth be told between you and me
I just couldn't take anymore
Well that's just me and I am probably biased
I say oh no I'm not going to try her
I hope they're happy and ever after they live
Actually no that's rubbish, not one could I give
Please Don't (In Isolation) lyrics - Courteeners & Blossoms
Four years and twenty-two shades of blonde
Is all that separated us
Why couldn't we have carried on?
We could've got married
You could have carried some of my sons
You let me change the radio
Station in your car
Do you remember that time
I raised my voice
Because you said you'd never ever heard of the La's?
We continued to make it complicated
When your fingertips are wrapped round those knuckles of mine
The fear went home and the smile returned
And all of a sudden everything was fine
Oh, those days have passed
And these types of relationship never last
So please don't pretend
That we'll stay friends
Because you know as well as I do that that
Well that just never happens
Juggernaut in your mouth
I can't feel a hurricane when you shout
I should be safe for ever
In your arms
I should be safe for ever
In your arms
How come I always see you out
With those boys that we used to argue about?
You walk over all flustered and stuff
Telling everyone inside that you've had enough
You spend eighty-five percent of your night
Tryna make me understand
Why you were standing so close while you were kissing him
Why you left that place holding his hand
Oh darling, can't you see
That it's got fuck all to do with me?
Please don't pretend
That we'll stay friends
Cause you know as well as I do that that
Well that just, it never happens
Saw This And FORT Of You lyrics - The Courteeners
Ill-informed miseducated dross falls from your face at a rate of knots
I feel sorry for the one who has to share a bed with you
I'd rather be dead than you
As per usual my tongue was firmly in cheek
I'll be dreaming up something different next week
It's for the best if you just switch off
I sound self important like a product of one of the three troughs
No I wouldn't want that gossiping the day away tit for tat
It's not your fault it's just where you go
But in terms of reward you reap who you know
Your like anorexic vultures on Oldham Street
You build each other a musical elite
I wasn't invited four years ago
I'm still not and if I was I wouldn't show
But don't get me wrong they do lovely lunches
The muppet clientele what a bunch a cunts
Passing judgement on things they don't know
Well I'd love to walk out and steal the show
I wouldn't want that no I wouldn't want that
Gossiping the day away tit for tat
It's not your fault it's just where you go
But in terms of reward you reap who you know
And please don't thing that I'm having a go
Please know that you know that I'm having a go
It's about that you know
But you know I wouldn't want that
Gossiping the day away tit for tat
It's not your fault it's just where you go
But in terms of reward you reap who you know
Slow Down lyrics - The Courteeners
If you're not careful
You might rob us of this local treasure
With all of your unnecessary
Nasty, not nice tabloid pressure
That would be
Such a horrible thing to do
If you don't know what I mean
Wait until it turns around
And they say to you
Slowdown
(Slowdown)
Slowdown
(Slowdown)
Slowdown
(Slowdown)
Slowdown
What might trouble her at the back
He starts to sing all of these lovely things
And it starts her off and if not
All I want in your heart places she con
You just like it stopped
Then you got that feeling that you don't know crap
Slowdown
(Slowdown)
Slowdown
(Slowdown)
Slowdown
(Slowdown)
Slowdown
Slowdown
Slowdown
Slowdown
Slowdown
Trying Too Hard To Score lyrics - The Courteeners
He thought he was better than most
And he pissed all over the holy ghost
He never had to pay at the disco door
Such a shame he's trying too hard to score
You'd best be on your best behavior
You'd best be on your best behavior
You'd better be on your better behavior
He was cocky and he was cool
The best looking juvenile in his secondary school
We used to idolise him but not anymore
On his own he's trying too hard to score
You'd best be on your best behavior
And if your not I'm not going to save you
You'd better be on your better behavior
Heart Attack lyrics - The Courteeners
Hello, hello, I need you to know
I don't love you enough for mindless sorrow
I'm really grateful for all that we had
But all good things must come to an end, and now I'm sad
Another year on, another year off
We flicked a switch and licked our lips, it's never enough
Expensive tastes and filthy rumours at last
Spend your weekend in the sink erasing your past
Here we go, new tempo
Make another song for the radio
Don't sit back or fall behind
'Cause the gatekeepers are less than kind
Check your numbers, they don't lie
Draw back and shoot the sky
Tiny apple on someone's head
Don't slip or someone's dead
This is a heart attack, this is a heart attack
This is a heart attack
This is a heart attack, this is a heart attack
This is a heart attack
Hello, hello, I need you to know
I have no time to read your manifesto
You suck me in like waves on the sea
But all the voices in my head say "Climb that palm tree!"
Well-educated, but manners you lack
Many close associates, not one's got your back
Terrific fingers, I wish they were mine
You're breaking hearts on the assembly line
Here we go, new tempo
Make another song for the radio
Don't sit back or fall behind
'Cause the gatekeepers are less than kind
Check your numbers, they don't lie
Draw back and shoot the sky
Tiny apple on someone's head
Don't slip or someone's dead
This is a heart attack, this is a heart attack
This is a heart attack
This is a heart attack, this is a heart attack
This is a heart attack
