Tried your luck by the vending machine
You think that they'll never suspect a thing
But I'm smarter than the average bear
And I'll be buying that ring
I'm gonna save Rosemary in time
You've taken her prisoner
But I've got a get out of jail free card
And I'm slipping it to her
Cause if you gimme an inch I'm gonna take a yard
I'm gonna save Rosemary in time
Don't say nothing I will be there any day now
Time is ticking, I don't wanna alarm you
I'll be your knight in shining armour
You gotta get out, I don't wanna alarm you
I'll be your knight in shining armour
I'm gonna save Rosemary in time
Don't say nothing
Don't say one word
Don't say anything at all
Sharks Are Circling lyrics - The Courteeners
The sharks are circling
The water's getting clearer
Smiling with his six rows
The megalodon are nearer
They go out in schools
Dream they are supreme
Cast insults our way, go on
We'll cast you down stream
There's a ghosty tred
Over her overhead
Footsteps in the canyon
Slip away until you've found her
They stop and stare
A hundred eyes on you
But don't worry just do
Those things that you do,
And so the girl cries
But lets crack out the fan fare
In it for the good times
Dry those dark eyes
They crack the whip
The acetone drips from their lip
Tut tut finger wag
It takes ten years to shake a tag
But they wear theirs with pride
A septic thorn in society's side
We will rise above
Through the color of our love
There's a ghosty tred
Over her overhead
Footsteps in the canyon
Slip away until you've found them
They stop and stare
A hundred eyes on you
But don't worry just do
Those things that you do
And so the girl cries
But lets crack out the fan fare
In it for the good times
Dry those dark eyes
They stop and stare
A hundred eyes on you
But don't worry just do
Those things that you do
And so the girl cries
But lets crack out the fan fare
In it for the good times
Dry those dark eyes
Marquee lyrics - The Courteeners
Stay up late and think
Of where you might be
I can't sleep I've got the image of you and him in the marquee
He made you smile when did I stop doing that?
Was it happening for a while?
You should've of just said
Instead I'm lying here wresting demons in my bed
Around and round we go
Demons in my bed
I don't mean to be so rude
But next time you think you might not love someone
Don't you think it's best to tell them earlier on
Was he one of those whom you swore was just a friend
And did he used to send those messages through the night
Your screen would flash and in tone so brash
You'd say it's the time zone
And you're working late you're working too hard
You're working us to the ground
And I don't feel too sound
Is he better pound for pound?
You'll never know
I don't mean to be so rude
But next time you think you might not love someone
Don't you think it's best to tell them earlier on
I don't mean to be so rude
But next time you think you might not love someone
Don't you think it's best to tell them earlier on?
Of where you might be
I can't sleep I've got the image of you and him in the marquee
He made you smile when did I stop doing that?
Was it happening for a while?
You should've of just said
Instead I'm lying here wresting demons in my bed
Around and round we go
Demons in my bed
I don't mean to be so rude
But next time you think you might not love someone
Don't you think it's best to tell them earlier on
Was he one of those whom you swore was just a friend
And did he used to send those messages through the night
Your screen would flash and in tone so brash
You'd say it's the time zone
And you're working late you're working too hard
You're working us to the ground
And I don't feel too sound
Is he better pound for pound?
You'll never know
I don't mean to be so rude
But next time you think you might not love someone
Don't you think it's best to tell them earlier on
I don't mean to be so rude
But next time you think you might not love someone
Don't you think it's best to tell them earlier on?
Money lyrics - The Courteeners
I noticed you in the photograph
A ghost like you why don't you laugh?
Five years on and your baby's got the gun
Picking off the memories one by one
Bang bang bang goes the lover's ideal
Bang bang bang
She said
Sit down and shut your mouth
Pack your things and then drive south
Drive south and stay there honey
Keep going in search of the money
How come you're always making fun of them
It's unbecoming and it's cruel
The way they raised you says a lot about who you are
Where you're going and if you've gone too far
A little rain check every now and again
Will do you the world of good
So I'll say it again
Sit down and shut your mouth
Pack your things and then drive south
Drive south and stay there honey
Keep going in search of the money
A ghost like you why don't you laugh?
Five years on and your baby's got the gun
Picking off the memories one by one
Bang bang bang goes the lover's ideal
Bang bang bang
She said
Sit down and shut your mouth
Pack your things and then drive south
Drive south and stay there honey
Keep going in search of the money
How come you're always making fun of them
It's unbecoming and it's cruel
The way they raised you says a lot about who you are
Where you're going and if you've gone too far
A little rain check every now and again
Will do you the world of good
So I'll say it again
Sit down and shut your mouth
Pack your things and then drive south
Drive south and stay there honey
Keep going in search of the money
Here Come The Young Men lyrics - The Courteeners
I'm in work in an hour and a half
And the gin is still fresh on the end of my scarf
How long can we keep up with this?
And if we didn't is there anything that we would miss?
The sun comes up over Raven South
You're a raving, misbehaving mouth
I never thought that we'd like each other
But lo and behold
This love will last forever and ever and ever
Here come the young men
I'll never show my back to the painting
Youth encompassed, ready and straight in
She looks at me like nobody else can
Eye to eye, eye to eye
Are we getting older?
Are we getting wiser?
Or are we getting none of the above?
And does it matter when
This love will last forever and ever and ever
Here come the young men
This love will last forever and ever and ever, and then
And so the party's finished
Serotonin has diminished
The curtains become see through
And there's a Cadbury's flake in the corner
And we'll be doing it all again
Weekend in Burnage was our den
A bond we made together
This love will last forever and ever and ever
Here come the young men.
And the gin is still fresh on the end of my scarf
How long can we keep up with this?
And if we didn't is there anything that we would miss?
The sun comes up over Raven South
You're a raving, misbehaving mouth
I never thought that we'd like each other
But lo and behold
This love will last forever and ever and ever
Here come the young men
I'll never show my back to the painting
Youth encompassed, ready and straight in
She looks at me like nobody else can
Eye to eye, eye to eye
Are we getting older?
Are we getting wiser?
Or are we getting none of the above?
And does it matter when
This love will last forever and ever and ever
Here come the young men
This love will last forever and ever and ever, and then
And so the party's finished
Serotonin has diminished
The curtains become see through
And there's a Cadbury's flake in the corner
And we'll be doing it all again
Weekend in Burnage was our den
A bond we made together
This love will last forever and ever and ever
Here come the young men.
The Opener lyrics - The Courteeners
I've been away I've been working but now I'm back I need to know if you're still there
And I need to know if you still care
Of course you do
Of course you do
You were made for me
And I was made for you
Somethings change but the majority stands still and I need to know if you want to and I need to know if you will
Of course you do
Of course you do
But I was made for this place
And I was made for you
I don't know if you would welcome me back with open arms through the door I don't expect anything more please know that I like you for sure (please be sure)
I miss you eyelashes and the street where I grew tall
I miss getting pissed wet threw getting to yours and getting warm
I miss stopping over and borrowing someone else's clothes so nice to be home you'd never of known that I've even been away
I miss the city I love 'cause I've been having an affair with LA and New York, Dundee, Doncaster if I may dare
Of course I do
Of course I do
But I was meant for this place and
I was meant for you
I miss the city I love but I've been having an affair with LA and New York, Dundee and Doncaster.
If you should care
Of course you do
Of course you do
But I was made for this place
and I was made for you
My heart is here and here to stay
My heart is here and here to stay
[repeat until end]
And I need to know if you still care
Of course you do
Of course you do
You were made for me
And I was made for you
Somethings change but the majority stands still and I need to know if you want to and I need to know if you will
Of course you do
Of course you do
But I was made for this place
And I was made for you
I don't know if you would welcome me back with open arms through the door I don't expect anything more please know that I like you for sure (please be sure)
I miss you eyelashes and the street where I grew tall
I miss getting pissed wet threw getting to yours and getting warm
I miss stopping over and borrowing someone else's clothes so nice to be home you'd never of known that I've even been away
I miss the city I love 'cause I've been having an affair with LA and New York, Dundee, Doncaster if I may dare
Of course I do

But I was meant for this place and
I was meant for you
I miss the city I love but I've been having an affair with LA and New York, Dundee and Doncaster.
If you should care
Of course you do
Of course you do
But I was made for this place
and I was made for you
My heart is here and here to stay
My heart is here and here to stay

Take Over The World lyrics - The Courteeners
I looked into her eyes and I swore
I've never written a cliche before
And I'll probably never do so
She was beautiful though
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I'm only a paperboy from the North West
But I can scrub up well in my Sunday best
How could I ever do for you?
Because I'm true and I'm real and this is how I feel
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
A glossy magazine on the coffee table
And you've held court with half of the culprits in
There who seem unstable
But you don't look at them like you do at me
Those eyes are only mine, what a wonderful time
When your eyes are mine, and mine are yours
I turn over in bed and you're not there
Nowhere to be seen
All I can do is flip the Mac and gently touch the screen
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
Take over the world
Take over the world
I've never written a cliche before
And I'll probably never do so
She was beautiful though
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I'm only a paperboy from the North West
But I can scrub up well in my Sunday best
How could I ever do for you?
Because I'm true and I'm real and this is how I feel
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
A glossy magazine on the coffee table
And you've held court with half of the culprits in
There who seem unstable
But you don't look at them like you do at me
Those eyes are only mine, what a wonderful time
When your eyes are mine, and mine are yours
I turn over in bed and you're not there
Nowhere to be seen
All I can do is flip the Mac and gently touch the screen
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
Take over the world
Take over the world
Cross My Heart & Hope To Fly lyrics - The Courteeners
How can I create a work of art?
Angled over a dishwasher that just won't start
Domestic bliss are you taking the piss
I need a minute on my own, minute on my own
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
Our clothes are on the floor and so are our hearts
Your necklace and your pearls are your entourage
A picture, a locket, a ring in my pocket
I need a minute on my own, minute on my own
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
Angled over a dishwasher that just won't start
Domestic bliss are you taking the piss
I need a minute on my own, minute on my own
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
Our clothes are on the floor and so are our hearts
Your necklace and your pearls are your entourage
A picture, a locket, a ring in my pocket
I need a minute on my own, minute on my own
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
So I cross my heart and hope to fly
And fuck right off into the middle of the sky
Where no one can find me
And no one can see that would be my ecstasy
You Overdid It Doll lyrics - The Courteeners
I heard you coming in from town
Stilettos scrape the ground
I saw you in your overcoat
Random on your throat
I know you this is not the girl
That I used to whirl around me
What's happening to you?
What's happening to you?
I love it, I shoot it like a Tommy gun
But you will carry on until the day you are done
You never know when to stop
You'll carry on until you're dead and drop
You will carry on until you're dead and you drop
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
Your teeth are starting to go
Five nights a week is starting to show
Dark rings around your eyes
Are fashionable until somebody dies
This pace a little too fast
You're a space cadet dressed in fiberglass
You're gonna shatter, it's not too late to undo
Put the fiddle down, the taming of the shrew
I love it, I shoot it like a Tommy gun
But you will carry on until the day you are done
You never know when to stop
You'll carry on until you're dead and drop
You will carry on until you're dead and you drop
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You will never know when to stop
You'll carry on until you're dead and you drop
You will carry on until you're dead and you drop
I love it, I shoot it like a Tommy gun
But you will carry on until the day you are done
But you will carry on until the day you are done
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
Stilettos scrape the ground
I saw you in your overcoat
Random on your throat
I know you this is not the girl
That I used to whirl around me
What's happening to you?
What's happening to you?
I love it, I shoot it like a Tommy gun
But you will carry on until the day you are done
You never know when to stop
You'll carry on until you're dead and drop
You will carry on until you're dead and you drop
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
You overdid it doll
Your teeth are starting to go
Five nights a week is starting to show
Dark rings around your eyes

You overdid it doll

Lullaby lyrics - The Courteeners
You walked over still hungover from the night before
Those idiot girls were looking over
I don't know what for
That vintage Chanel dress that you wore
Just accentuated the fact that your heart was sore
Like a dying rose in the cold you froze
I'm holding the thorns on the floor
The Night & Day holds memories
But when I think of it now all I see
Is you at the back and you're starting to cry
I wish I could have sung you a lullaby
But I can't because I'm a mess, I'm too proud
I'm stubborn and I'm selfish and you know that I'm loud
I'm a fool who thinks he's strong like Cassius Clay
I never ever listen to what anyone says
If I see your mother, tell her I still love her
But that letter was wrong, ill informed and I warned you
Please do not get the families involved
This world is me around me I revolve
The Night & Day holds memories
But when I think of it now all I see
Is you at the back and you're starting to cry
I wish I could have sung you a lullaby
I'm with my friends, I'm on my own
I'm in a crowded bar, I'm on my own
I'm with everyone else, I'm on my own
Its nobody's fault but my own
I wish I could have sung you a lullaby.
Those idiot girls were looking over
I don't know what for
That vintage Chanel dress that you wore
Just accentuated the fact that your heart was sore
Like a dying rose in the cold you froze
I'm holding the thorns on the floor
The Night & Day holds memories
But when I think of it now all I see
Is you at the back and you're starting to cry
I wish I could have sung you a lullaby
But I can't because I'm a mess, I'm too proud
I'm stubborn and I'm selfish and you know that I'm loud
I'm a fool who thinks he's strong like Cassius Clay
I never ever listen to what anyone says
If I see your mother, tell her I still love her
But that letter was wrong, ill informed and I warned you
Please do not get the families involved
This world is me around me I revolve
The Night & Day holds memories
But when I think of it now all I see

I wish I could have sung you a lullaby
I'm with my friends, I'm on my own
I'm in a crowded bar, I'm on my own
I'm with everyone else, I'm on my own
Its nobody's fault but my own
I wish I could have sung you a lullaby.
Good Times Are Calling lyrics - The Courteeners
Well I'm in Manchester,
And you're in London town.
I'm having a time of my life,
but I'm dying to go down.
I don't know,
If I should,
Come see you,
For you know that I'm falling.
I'm still young,
I need life,
More than I,
Need a wife.
The good times are calling me,
The good times are calling me,
You can come with me,
You should come with me.
The good times, are calling me.
Do you remember the days,
when you dropped all your weight,
They were the days,
When we stayed up at 3 straight.
All the boys looking sharp,
at the top of the class
All the girls seem bonnie,
their hearts of glass.
I don't know,
If I should,
Come see you,
For you know that I'm falling.
I'm still young,
I need life,
More than I,
Need a wife.
The good times are calling me,
The good times are calling me,
You can come with me,
You should come with me.
The good times, they are calling me.
I don't know,
If I should,
Come see you,
For you know that I'm falling.
I'm still young,
I need life,
More than I,
Need a wife.
The good times are calling me.
And you're in London town.
I'm having a time of my life,
but I'm dying to go down.
I don't know,
If I should,
Come see you,
For you know that I'm falling.
I'm still young,
I need life,
More than I,
Need a wife.
The good times are calling me,
The good times are calling me,
You can come with me,
You should come with me.
The good times, are calling me.
Do you remember the days,
when you dropped all your weight,
They were the days,
When we stayed up at 3 straight.
All the boys looking sharp,
at the top of the class
All the girls seem bonnie,
their hearts of glass.
I don't know,
If I should,
Come see you,
For you know that I'm falling.
I'm still young,
I need life,
More than I,
Need a wife.
The good times are calling me,
The good times are calling me,
You can come with me,
You should come with me.
The good times, they are calling me.
I don't know,
If I should,
Come see you,
For you know that I'm falling.
I'm still young,
I need life,
More than I,
Need a wife.
The good times are calling me.
The Rest Of The World Has Gone Home lyrics - The Courteeners
Mark was there, he was chasing tail, the urban genie
On the door got offered the manners test and he failed
That girl who said she was your friend but you really hated her was there in her element
As two chunky thick set skinheads gyrated her
I was sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar
This time you've gone too far
I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS Cash machine
Don't sniff keep it clean
What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home
I tried to paint my feelings through this verse
Just like Neil Young did in the back of his hearse
But you won't hear much of that though in here though
It's full of cheerful chaps who whistle and leer and live on their own
I'll be sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar
This time you've gone too far
I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS Cash machine
Don't sniff, keep it clean
What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home
The Deansgate fireflies they blink and wink at me
I haven't felt this alone since my art GCSE
And don't bother with the tears tomorrow
You're always doing it, you're always doing it
You're always bloody doing it
I'll be sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar
This time you've gone too far
I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS Cash machine
Don't swear, keep it clean
What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home
What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home
On the door got offered the manners test and he failed
That girl who said she was your friend but you really hated her was there in her element
As two chunky thick set skinheads gyrated her
I was sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar
This time you've gone too far
I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS Cash machine
Don't sniff keep it clean
What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home
I tried to paint my feelings through this verse
Just like Neil Young did in the back of his hearse
But you won't hear much of that though in here though
It's full of cheerful chaps who whistle and leer and live on their own
I'll be sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar
This time you've gone too far
I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS Cash machine
Don't sniff, keep it clean
What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home
The Deansgate fireflies they blink and wink at me
I haven't felt this alone since my art GCSE
And don't bother with the tears tomorrow
You're always doing it, you're always doing it
You're always bloody doing it
I'll be sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar
This time you've gone too far
I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS Cash machine
Don't swear, keep it clean
What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home
What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home
Sycophant lyrics - The Courteeners
I'll never dance with a sycohpant
I'd rather entertain disdain
From someone who I love
At least you know where you stand
You'll never understand
Keep your eyes on your own work son
Do your homework son
We will never be undone
We're like a father and a son
We will never be undone
I'll ask you...
Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less, cos we are us not you.
You say you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend
The proof's in the pudding, and the gigs
You've not even been to Woolworths to buy your mix
You flirt with the weather, a kneeling knave
Billy Shakespeare would be spinning in his grave
Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
I could not give one cos we are us not you.
You say you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend
Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less cos we are us not you
Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want, thank you and goodnight
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less cos we are us not you
You say you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend
You love to dance, you're a sycophant
How do you sleep? how do you get up? Get fucked
I'd rather entertain disdain
From someone who I love
At least you know where you stand
You'll never understand
Keep your eyes on your own work son
Do your homework son
We will never be undone
We're like a father and a son
We will never be undone
I'll ask you...
Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less, cos we are us not you.
You say you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend
The proof's in the pudding, and the gigs
You've not even been to Woolworths to buy your mix
You flirt with the weather, a kneeling knave
Billy Shakespeare would be spinning in his grave
Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
I could not give one cos we are us not you.
You say you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend
Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less cos we are us not you
Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want, thank you and goodnight
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less cos we are us not you
You say you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend
You love to dance, you're a sycophant
How do you sleep? how do you get up? Get fucked
Cameo Brooch lyrics - The Courteeners
With your mother's cameo brooch
Sat at the foot of her bed taking notes
You watched her since you were small
You are the new belle of the ball
With your father's bruise on your arm
Telling me it's no cause for alarm
Stop pushing people away
You can't live your life this way
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
With your sister's love for her dad
You tell her it's the piano teacher that has been bad
You said you hadn't learnt your scales
She said you were going off the rails
But that was nothing to what you are now
And I'm not picking holes and I don't want to row
But people are getting scared
We can see your bones, and we were unprepared
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
Sat at the foot of her bed taking notes
You watched her since you were small
You are the new belle of the ball
With your father's bruise on your arm
Telling me it's no cause for alarm
Stop pushing people away
You can't live your life this way
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
With your sister's love for her dad
You tell her it's the piano teacher that has been bad
You said you hadn't learnt your scales
She said you were going off the rails
But that was nothing to what you are now
And I'm not picking holes and I don't want to row
But people are getting scared
We can see your bones, and we were unprepared
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
Scratch Your Name Upon My Lips lyrics - The Courteeners
Six thousand miles away, the first thing on my mind
I've not been to bed, my thoughts are racing
My heart is lagging behind
Desperate times call for double measures
The drinks ae going down alleviating the pressure
Just to see you for a second now, if only I could
Just to breathe the same air, then you know that I would
A needle in the heart from a silhouette
She could've been you but for the cigarette
When back, will you dig your heels in?
Dig your heels into my back?
Scratch your name upon my lips
Take the belt from off your hips
A needle in the heart from a silhouette
She could've been you but for the cigarette
A needle in the heart from a silhouette
She could've been you but for the cigarette
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
Scratch your name upon my lips
Scratch your name upon my lips
Scratch your name upon my lips
Scratch your name upon my lips
I've not been to bed, my thoughts are racing
My heart is lagging behind
Desperate times call for double measures
The drinks ae going down alleviating the pressure
Just to see you for a second now, if only I could
Just to breathe the same air, then you know that I would
A needle in the heart from a silhouette
She could've been you but for the cigarette
When back, will you dig your heels in?
Dig your heels into my back?
Scratch your name upon my lips
Take the belt from off your hips
A needle in the heart from a silhouette
She could've been you but for the cigarette
A needle in the heart from a silhouette
She could've been you but for the cigarette
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
Scratch your name upon my lips
Scratch your name upon my lips
Scratch your name upon my lips
Scratch your name upon my lips
Last Of The Ladies lyrics - The Courteeners
You are the last of the ladies
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are
Sometimes I may not see you for a week
Don't think of this as a burden
Just a grander hide and seek
And when you find me I'll be happy to be out
Your words are one thing I can't believe that I've ever lived without
You are the last of the ladies
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are
If something is easy then it's not worth the reward
Like remembering the list of bands that I wrote on
The chalk board
I'm not saying you're New Order but I think you
Know what I mean
And I'm into the way that you're into me
Like a scene from the silver screen
You are the last of the ladies
You are the one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are
Sometimes I may not see you for a week
Don't think of this as a burden
Just a grander hide and seek
And when you find me I'll be happy to be out
Your words are one thing I can't believe that I've ever lived without
You are the last of the ladies
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are
If something is easy then it's not worth the reward
Like remembering the list of bands that I wrote on
The chalk board
I'm not saying you're New Order but I think you
Know what I mean
And I'm into the way that you're into me
Like a scene from the silver screen
You are the last of the ladies
You are the one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
Will It Be This Way Forever? lyrics - The Courteeners
A bicycle shop at the end of the road
A Chinese chippy to ease the load
The lights are low, the life's not fair
But what I have is yours to share
Victoria Park, after dark
Kissing on the wall trying not to fall
Into your heart and into your head
Take me somewhere else, take me to your bed
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Will it be this way forever?
Like two students in love, waltzing along
I have been both, but not for very long
Like two drunk dancers, juvenile chancers
One sets the other one off
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Will it be this way forever?
Angel as you go down, I'll let you know tomorrow
Change your plea to guilty and another day we'll borrow
A bicycle shop at the end of the road
A Chinese chippy to ease the load
The lights are low and life's not fair
But all I have is yours to share
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Will it be this way forever?
We don't need money, let's get under the covers
Just as long as we've got each other
We don't need money, let's get under the covers
Just as long as we've got each other
A Chinese chippy to ease the load
The lights are low, the life's not fair
But what I have is yours to share
Victoria Park, after dark
Kissing on the wall trying not to fall
Into your heart and into your head
Take me somewhere else, take me to your bed
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Will it be this way forever?
Like two students in love, waltzing along
I have been both, but not for very long
Like two drunk dancers, juvenile chancers
One sets the other one off
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Will it be this way forever?
Angel as you go down, I'll let you know tomorrow
Change your plea to guilty and another day we'll borrow
A bicycle shop at the end of the road
A Chinese chippy to ease the load
The lights are low and life's not fair
But all I have is yours to share
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Naive, young and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?
Will it be this way forever?
We don't need money, let's get under the covers
Just as long as we've got each other
We don't need money, let's get under the covers
Just as long as we've got each other
Revolver lyrics - The Courteeners
Will I be graced with your presence tonight?
I'd really rather you just let me know
'Cause I'm stood here like a spare prick at a wedding
I'll get my dignity, smedley, my brogues and I'll go
You could have just stabbed me in the back
There was no need to use the revolver for that
You said you had the knack, what did you mean?
"Has Nobody told you?"
Told me what? no they must have forgot
"He's just a friend", yeah you said it happens all the time
Is that right? in that case everything will be
Just fine
You could have just stabbed me in the back
There was no need to use the revolver for that
You said you had the knack, what did you mean?
"Has Nobody told you?"
Told me what? no they must have forgot
"He's just a friend", yeah you said it happens all the time
Is that right? in that case everything will be
Just fine
Spotted you, fools on a hill,
Thought maybe it's just your cousin.
Even so, please God do not let that be her.
Took one look at your cardigan, your jeans on backwards,
My jaw dropped and I went oh fuck, because I knew that it were.
How would you feel if I had done that to you?
How, how would you feel if I had done that to you?
How, how would you feel if I had done that to you?
You could have just stabbed me in the back
There was no need to use the revolver for that
You said you had the knack, what did you mean?
"Has Nobody told you?"
Told me what? no they must have forgot
"He's just a friend", yeah you said it happens all the time
Is that right? well in that case everything will be
Just fine
I'd really rather you just let me know
'Cause I'm stood here like a spare prick at a wedding
I'll get my dignity, smedley, my brogues and I'll go
You could have just stabbed me in the back
There was no need to use the revolver for that
You said you had the knack, what did you mean?
"Has Nobody told you?"
Told me what? no they must have forgot
"He's just a friend", yeah you said it happens all the time
Is that right? in that case everything will be
Just fine
You could have just stabbed me in the back
There was no need to use the revolver for that
You said you had the knack, what did you mean?
"Has Nobody told you?"
Told me what? no they must have forgot
"He's just a friend", yeah you said it happens all the time

Even so, please God do not let that be her.

How would you feel if I had done that to you?
How, how would you feel if I had done that to you?
How, how would you feel if I had done that to you?

Told me what? no they must have forgot
"He's just a friend", yeah you said it happens all the time
Is that right? well in that case everything will be

Bojangles lyrics - The Courteeners
The Shambles are a shambles, crooks and crafters hanging from the rafters,
With the beat and the bangles oh, Bojangles shirts and shouts them from all the angles.
Masses on mass go past,
head down walk fast,
this is where we live to
let the ladies and children through,
I'm struggling help me along,
hold my arm as I sing my song,
I'm struggling help me along,
hold my arm as I'm singing my song,
Tearing through St Anne's Square,
Policeman down no one cares [X4]
The Shambles are a shambles, crooks and crafters hanging from the rafters,
With the beat and the bangles oh, Bojangles shirts and shouts them from all the angles.
I'm struggling help me along,
hold my arm while I sing my song,
I'm struggling help me along,
hold my arm while I sing my song.
With the beat and the bangles oh, Bojangles shirts and shouts them from all the angles.
Masses on mass go past,
head down walk fast,
this is where we live to
let the ladies and children through,
I'm struggling help me along,
hold my arm as I sing my song,
I'm struggling help me along,
hold my arm as I'm singing my song,
Tearing through St Anne's Square,
Policeman down no one cares [X4]
The Shambles are a shambles, crooks and crafters hanging from the rafters,
With the beat and the bangles oh, Bojangles shirts and shouts them from all the angles.
I'm struggling help me along,
hold my arm while I sing my song,
I'm struggling help me along,
hold my arm while I sing my song.
You're The Man lyrics - The Courteeners
Does your wife
Know you're out
Know you're out
Sleeping with a weather-girl
That it never rains on you
Triple A
Backstage pass
Anorexic lass
On your arm
You're so cool you're the man
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
And so you stand out the back
Get a little bit closer every track
So everyone can see you there
You've arrived!
I've arrived!
You've arrived
You're like a tired piece of clingfilm
See through and flimsy
So many cracks
And you're no use to anyone any more.
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
You sold your sole
And lied the lamp
Laid, try your own
With your little band
But that didn't last
And neither will you
I have faith that you'll fuck up
in everything that you do
I reserve the right
The right to address
How you leave the house is anyone's guess
You're cowering so gently
That's not for me
I'm not like that
Ask Ann Marie
So rest the film stars
Hollywood posers,
Hollywood foam
But they've relented
And given their dog a bone
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
Know you're out
Know you're out
Sleeping with a weather-girl
That it never rains on you
Triple A
Backstage pass
Anorexic lass
On your arm
You're so cool you're the man
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
And so you stand out the back
Get a little bit closer every track
So everyone can see you there
You've arrived!
I've arrived!
You've arrived
You're like a tired piece of clingfilm
See through and flimsy
So many cracks
And you're no use to anyone any more.
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
You sold your sole
And lied the lamp
Laid, try your own
With your little band
But that didn't last
And neither will you
I have faith that you'll fuck up
in everything that you do
I reserve the right
The right to address
How you leave the house is anyone's guess
You're cowering so gently
That's not for me

But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
But we still love you
You give us something to do
Why can't we be as cool as you
Meanwhile Back At The Ranch lyrics - The Courteeners
So, meanwhile back at the ranch
My boy, you grovel for an olive branch
Your arms outstretched, fabrication spoken
You severed all ties and the bond was broken
You are the gaffer's best boy
20 sleazy and coy
And it makes me sick
You are the gaffer's best boy
Meanwhile back at the bar
Big time Charlie gone too far
Bore him with your stories
From all that you know
You know everything from Wikipedia and it shows
Because he's full of shit and so are you
You're a weasel and I've had a bird's eye view
You are the gaffer's best boy
20 sleazy and coy
And it makes me sick
So everyone is at your place
Cameras out for Facebook
Shoe in the face, not one is a friend
There is a reason for this
The pragmatics of which you've seem to have missed
You are the gaffer's best boy
20 sleazy and coy
And it makes me sick
You are the gaffer's best boy
20 sleazy and coy
And it makes me sick
And it makes me sick
And it makes me sick
And it makes me sick
Forget The Weight Of The World lyrics - The Courteeners
Walking down the street
Paranoia's got hold of both of my feet
I can't remember last weekend
It's only fair to tell you my friend
This war is shaping up the same way
I can't even remember yesterday, but
Well I'm not Jesus I’m definitely not Barrack
Could you please prise the leeches from my back?
And I'm never gonna save the world, but
I might try and take it over
Grab a drink, find a girl,
It doesn't matter if she's older
Forget the weight of the world
You don't need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don't need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don't need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
Well I haven't caught the fear,
cos it's not Tuesday yet my dear
And when the blues roll by I'll tell em to jog on
Some fall in to quick sand
I'm not like that do you understand
I'm just being me
Well I'm just being me
Forget the weight of the world
You don't need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don't need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don't need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
Well I'm not Jesus I'm definitely not Barrack
Could you please prise the leeches from my back?
I'm never gonna save the world, but
I might try and take it over
Grab a drink, find a girl,
It doesn't matter if she's older
But we have to
Forget the weight of the world
We don't need that on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
We don't need that on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
We don't need it on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
We don't need it on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world [x4]
Paranoia's got hold of both of my feet
I can't remember last weekend
It's only fair to tell you my friend
This war is shaping up the same way
I can't even remember yesterday, but
Well I'm not Jesus I’m definitely not Barrack
Could you please prise the leeches from my back?
And I'm never gonna save the world, but
I might try and take it over
Grab a drink, find a girl,
It doesn't matter if she's older
Forget the weight of the world
You don't need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don't need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don't need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
Well I haven't caught the fear,
cos it's not Tuesday yet my dear
And when the blues roll by I'll tell em to jog on

We don't need it on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
We don't need it on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world [x4]
Aftershow lyrics - The Courteeners
The walk home from barbecue
Is so very long when I'm walkin with you
The sun is coming up, it is coming to light
That me and you were never that tight
And then you stand there with your old boyfriend
And message after message that you can send, send, send
You know I will definitely ignore them all
You're having a shit night, well I'm having a ball
You showed your face at the aftershow
How did I know that you would say you will go
It's because you're always listening to him
He's only average looking and a bit too thin
Is so very long when I'm walkin with you
The sun is coming up, it is coming to light
That me and you were never that tight
And then you stand there with your old boyfriend
And message after message that you can send, send, send
You know I will definitely ignore them all
You're having a shit night, well I'm having a ball
You showed your face at the aftershow
How did I know that you would say you will go
It's because you're always listening to him
He's only average looking and a bit too thin
Cavorting lyrics - The Courteeners
Your club is full of overrated, dehydrated, goggled eyed girls
And they're trying to stare at me
But their eyes are rattling and they're struggling to see
And she can't stand still because of sixteen pills that
she's taken in the mini bus
Her conscience followed her into the night
Gave her mum a fright,
I said "Fuck, that it is her own fault
For letting her out of your sight"
And now you're too tired to eat
And you're too hungry to sleep
You're hooligans on E and we're too tired to bother with any of you
Cavorting and snorting your way through the band
Get your hand out of my trouser leg
We're turning up tonight but only to knock you down a peg
And now you're too tired to eat
And you're too hungry to sleep
You're hooligans on E and we're too tired to bother with any of you
Your club is full of overrated, dehydrated, goggled eyed girls
And they're trying to stare at me
But their eyes are rattling and they're struggling to see
And now you're too tired to eat
And you're too hungry to sleep
We're Gentlemen, aren't we, and we're too articulate to bother with any of you
And they're trying to stare at me
But their eyes are rattling and they're struggling to see
And she can't stand still because of sixteen pills that
she's taken in the mini bus
Her conscience followed her into the night
Gave her mum a fright,
I said "Fuck, that it is her own fault
For letting her out of your sight"
And now you're too tired to eat
And you're too hungry to sleep
You're hooligans on E and we're too tired to bother with any of you
Cavorting and snorting your way through the band
Get your hand out of my trouser leg
We're turning up tonight but only to knock you down a peg
And now you're too tired to eat
And you're too hungry to sleep
You're hooligans on E and we're too tired to bother with any of you
Your club is full of overrated, dehydrated, goggled eyed girls
And they're trying to stare at me
But their eyes are rattling and they're struggling to see
And now you're too tired to eat
And you're too hungry to sleep
We're Gentlemen, aren't we, and we're too articulate to bother with any of you
Bide Your Time lyrics - The Courteeners
The temptation is all too great
To know it's gone and it's all too late
I tried and I tried, but I never applied
To any of the morals that I wish I had
You wait 50 whole weeks
Through all of your hides and all of your seeks
When the time finally arrives
It dawns on me that your attention derives
From the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud
Well, they do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads, the ones who cannot handle the booze
They're making you scared to be proud
Yeah, you're scared to be proud
I cannot still be
Come and sing your heart out with me
But if you bide your time and you stand there and you wait in line
It won't be long before her sarong is lying on your bedroom floor
But what about the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud
Well, they do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads the ones who cannot handle their booze
They're making you scared to be proud
Oh, is that still allowed?
You're scared to be proud
When you're on cloud #9
And the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud
Well, they fucking do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads the ones who cannot handle their booze
They're making you scared to be proud
Oh, you're scared to be proud
Oh, is that still allowed?
When you're on cloud #9
To know it's gone and it's all too late
I tried and I tried, but I never applied
To any of the morals that I wish I had
You wait 50 whole weeks
Through all of your hides and all of your seeks
When the time finally arrives
It dawns on me that your attention derives
From the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud
Well, they do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads, the ones who cannot handle the booze
They're making you scared to be proud
Yeah, you're scared to be proud
I cannot still be
Come and sing your heart out with me
But if you bide your time and you stand there and you wait in line
It won't be long before her sarong is lying on your bedroom floor
But what about the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud
Well, they do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads the ones who cannot handle their booze
They're making you scared to be proud
Oh, is that still allowed?
You're scared to be proud
When you're on cloud #9
And the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you can't stand to be around the short sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud
Well, they fucking do my head in
You hate the tattoos
And you can't handle the skinheads the ones who cannot handle their booze
They're making you scared to be proud
Oh, you're scared to be proud
Oh, is that still allowed?
When you're on cloud #9
What Took You So Long? lyrics - The Courteeners
You've spent too much time sat in your bedroom
On your PC, are you sure that you couldn't
Have found the time
Swallowed your pride and fitted to jealousy
Well next week, you're trying again
To pull one of your city's men from men
If you not had the internet would you be into them?
I very much doubt so, how would they know so?
What took you so long?
Was there a queue at the post office?
What took you so long?
Was there a dirty double decker stage coach
You just happened to miss
Sometimes I'm bad and sometimes I'm rotten
And sometimes I say things I probably
Should have forgotten of the people and things
Do you know who I am?
I'm like a Morrissey with some strings
What took you so long?
Was there a queue at the post office?
What took you so long?
Was there a dirty double decker stage coach
You just happened to miss
You're always bad and you're always rotten
And then you always say things that you just
Should have forgotten
Or have you had enough
Of your stereotypical bit of the rough?
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
What took you so long?
Was there a queue at the post office?
What took you so long?
Was there a dirty double decker stage coach
You just happened to miss
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh oh oh-oh oh ohh
woah oh oh oh oh-oh oh ohh
woah oh oh oh oh-oh oh ohhh
On your PC, are you sure that you couldn't
Have found the time
Swallowed your pride and fitted to jealousy
Well next week, you're trying again
To pull one of your city's men from men
If you not had the internet would you be into them?
I very much doubt so, how would they know so?
What took you so long?
Was there a queue at the post office?
What took you so long?
Was there a dirty double decker stage coach

What took you so long?

You're always bad and you're always rotten

Please Don't lyrics - The Courteeners
Four years and twenty-two shades of blonde
Is all that seperated us
Why couldn't we have carried on?
We could have 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
You continued to get intimidated
But then your finger tips wrapped round those knuckles of mine
The fear walked home and your smile returned
And all of a sudden everything was fine
But 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, it never happens
Well no, that just never happens
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 per cent of your night
Trying to make me understand
Why you were standing so close while you're 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
Is all that seperated us
Why couldn't we have carried on?
We could have 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
You continued to get intimidated
But then your finger tips wrapped round those knuckles of mine
The fear walked home and your smile returned
And all of a sudden everything was fine
But 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, it never happens
Well no, that just never happens
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 per cent of your night
Trying to make me understand
Why you were standing so close while you're 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
If It Wasn't For Me lyrics - The Courteeners
Everyone's saying that you're here for me
But you're here for them
If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me
Then you would even not know them
You move in those circles
For a brand new squeeze
For an average girls with bad teeth
You'd do anything to please
It makes me cringe
I'd like to stick a syringe
In your arm
Sedate you, then berate you
Trying to make you
Steer clear from harm
If it wasn't for me then you wouldn't know them
If it wasn't for me then you would not know them
If it wasn't for me then you wouldn't know them
Everyone's saying that you're here for me
And that's rubbish, you're here for them
If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me
You wouldn't even know them
You move in those circles, what for?
For a brand new squeeze
For an average girl with a bad fringe
Who you'd do anything to please
It makes me cringe
I'd like to stick a syringe
In your arm
Sedate you, then berate you
Trying to make you
Steer clear from harm
If it wasn't for me then you wouldn't know them
If it wasn't for me then you would not know them
If it wasn't for me then you never know
If if wasn't for me then wouldn't know them
But you're here for them
If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me
Then you would even not know them
You move in those circles
For a brand new squeeze
For an average girls with bad teeth
You'd do anything to please
It makes me cringe
I'd like to stick a syringe
In your arm
Sedate you, then berate you
Trying to make you
Steer clear from harm
If it wasn't for me then you wouldn't know them
If it wasn't for me then you would not know them
If it wasn't for me then you wouldn't know them
Everyone's saying that you're here for me
And that's rubbish, you're here for them
If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me
You wouldn't even know them
You move in those circles, what for?
For a brand new squeeze
For an average girl with a bad fringe
Who you'd do anything to please
It makes me cringe
I'd like to stick a syringe
In your arm
Sedate you, then berate you
Trying to make you
Steer clear from harm
If it wasn't for me then you wouldn't know them
If it wasn't for me then you would not know them
If it wasn't for me then you never know
If if wasn't for me then wouldn't know them
No You Didn't, No You Don't lyrics - The Courteeners
So, just because I use salty phrases
And I go through stages
Where I neglect endeavour
Does this means that I'm not clever?
No, I don't think so
Just because my newspaper pages
Haven't been the Times in ages
Does that mean that
I don't know as much as you?
Jealousy will destroy us
Or so she used to say
You'd kill for half the things we do
Including yesterday
But I suppose you know
Because you went to school with me
You'd sit in the garage and you'd see
All the things that we do, don't you?
No you didn't, and no you don't
No you didn't, and no you don't
No you don't
No you don't
Do you remember us lot doing keys
At the back of the garage at 243
That was us and no one else
And lend Luka a jumper off the shelf
Do you remember us lot doing keys
At the back of the garage where no one sees
That was us, no one else
Another jagër off the shelf
So I suppose you know,
Because you went to school with me
You'd sit in the garage and you'd see
All the things that we do, don't you?
No you didn't, and no you don't
No you didn't, and no you don't
No you don't
No you don't
There'll always be people looking down their noses
I don't care, coming up smelling of roses
So I suppose you know
Because you went to school with me
You'd sit in the garage and you'd see
All the things that we do, don't you?
No you didn't, and no you don't
No you didn't, and no you don't
No you don't
No you don't
So I suppose you know
Because you went to school with me
You'd sit in the garage and you'd see
All the things that we do, don't you?
No you didn't, and no you don't
No you didn't, and no you don't
No you don't
No you don't
And I go through stages
Where I neglect endeavour
Does this means that I'm not clever?
No, I don't think so
Just because my newspaper pages

How Come lyrics - The Courteeners
How come you are always off your head?
And yet you still end up in your bed
With some mint blonde I've never seen before?
And you get away with kicking her face first out of your front door
You get admiration from all of the lads
The mothers take a shine to you, that's not the case with the dads
They have to keep both eyes upon you just in case you make a move
But we know that you wouldn't be so daft and that's what makes you so smooth
So next time you're out, can I stand and watch from the bar?
Just to see if it's true how far
You will take your good looks, your wit and charm
And walk out of the place with sixteen girls on each arm
You get admiration from all of the lads
The mothers take a shine to you, that's not the case with the dads
They have to keep both eyes upon you just in case you make a move
But we know that you wouldn't be so daft and that's what makes you so smooth
And yet you still end up in your bed
With some mint blonde I've never seen before?
And you get away with kicking her face first out of your front door
You get admiration from all of the lads
The mothers take a shine to you, that's not the case with the dads
They have to keep both eyes upon you just in case you make a move
But we know that you wouldn't be so daft and that's what makes you so smooth
So next time you're out, can I stand and watch from the bar?
Just to see if it's true how far
You will take your good looks, your wit and charm
And walk out of the place with sixteen girls on each arm
You get admiration from all of the lads
The mothers take a shine to you, that's not the case with the dads
They have to keep both eyes upon you just in case you make a move
But we know that you wouldn't be so daft and that's what makes you so smooth
Kings Of The New Road lyrics - The Courteeners
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do
I left home, and then phoned, to see if you like to dance
A memory, you and me, nobody else ever has to see
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do
A lift home, we argue, I tell you to get to France
A memory, you and me, never gonna let anybody else see
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do
The kings of the new road never do what they're told
The kings of the new road never do what they're told
The kings of the new road never do what they're told
The kings of the new road never do what they're told
I left home, and then phoned, to see if you like to dance
A memory, you and me, nobody else ever has to see
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do
A lift home, we argue, I tell you to get to France
A memory, you and me, never gonna let anybody else see
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do
The kings of the new road never do what they're told
The kings of the new road never do what they're told
The kings of the new road never do what they're told
The kings of the new road never do what they're told
Not Nineteen Forever lyrics - The Courteeners
She's had to peel me off the pavement
Trying to insinuate sometimes I am in danger of going too far
Said would I like to go for tea and toast?
Get your hand off my thigh
In the car she turned to me and said
You're not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange but things they change
Older woman and a younger man
Both of them doing all they can
Trying to get your attention all night long
Asked you once, I asked you twice, asked you four times
If you'd like to dance to that song front crawled the crowd
Down the stairs and then I followed you out in the rain
Nowhere to be found, never mind
You'll probably never look that pretty again
You're not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange but things they change
Older woman and ever so slightly younger man
God bless the band, they're doing all they can
You're not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange but things they change
Older woman and ever so slightly younger man
God bless the band, they're doing all they can
You're not nineteen forever
You're not nineteen forever
You're not nineteen forever
It's not me, you're definitely not clever
Trying to insinuate sometimes I am in danger of going too far
Said would I like to go for tea and toast?
Get your hand off my thigh
In the car she turned to me and said
You're not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange but things they change
Older woman and a younger man
Both of them doing all they can
Trying to get your attention all night long
Asked you once, I asked you twice, asked you four times
If you'd like to dance to that song front crawled the crowd
Down the stairs and then I followed you out in the rain
Nowhere to be found, never mind
You'll probably never look that pretty again
You're not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange but things they change
Older woman and ever so slightly younger man
God bless the band, they're doing all they can
You're not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange but things they change
Older woman and ever so slightly younger man
God bless the band, they're doing all they can
You're not nineteen forever
You're not nineteen forever
You're not nineteen forever
It's not me, you're definitely not clever
Fallowfield Hillbilly lyrics - The Courteeners
So I say, is that all that matters anymore?
Who happened to like that band first
And who likes them more
Why do you compensate for the fact that you are clearly, oh so very silly
By walking around my town
Like a fallowfield hillbilly?
You know who you are
I've seen the way that you're looking at all of the normal kids
You think that they've just come out Strangeways because they won't bat both eyelids
When you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
They're here just for the music, the thing that they love
And it was literally carnage at the back of Piccadilly to see who could buy it first
Does the limtied edition seven inch
Quench your thirst?
For an album that will probably let you down
But it doesn't even matter because you don't like that band anymore
They're not underground
I've seen the way that you're looking at all of the normal kids
You think that they've just come out Strangeways because they won't bat both eyelids
When you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
I'm gonna ask you, can you find your own way home, are you stuck?
And, please don't think that I'm being a bitch
I just happen to witness a lot of things which
Get me annoyed because you're filling a void
Have you got nothing better to do?
I've seen the way that you're looking at all of the normal kids
You think that they've just come out Strangeways because they won't bat both eyelids
When you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
I'm gonna ask you, can you play guitar, my boy, can you fuck?
Who happened to like that band first
And who likes them more
Why do you compensate for the fact that you are clearly, oh so very silly
By walking around my town
Like a fallowfield hillbilly?
You know who you are
I've seen the way that you're looking at all of the normal kids
You think that they've just come out Strangeways because they won't bat both eyelids
When you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
They're here just for the music, the thing that they love
And it was literally carnage at the back of Piccadilly to see who could buy it first
Does the limtied edition seven inch
Quench your thirst?
For an album that will probably let you down
But it doesn't even matter because you don't like that band anymore
They're not underground
I've seen the way that you're looking at all of the normal kids
You think that they've just come out Strangeways because they won't bat both eyelids
When you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
I'm gonna ask you, can you find your own way home, are you stuck?
And, please don't think that I'm being a bitch
I just happen to witness a lot of things which
Get me annoyed because you're filling a void
Have you got nothing better to do?
I've seen the way that you're looking at all of the normal kids

When you walk past with your eyeliner on, one hand in glove
I'm gonna ask you, can you play guitar, my boy, can you fuck?
Yesterday, Today & Probably Tomorrow lyrics - The Courteeners
I'm not going to sit here and lie and list all the many ways
About how I will supposedly love you till the end of days
Because I think that we both know in twenty-eight and a half years' time
That I won't be yours and you probably won't be mine
But yesterday, today and probably tomorrow
This little one will find it hard to find sorrow
Yesterday, today and probably tomorrow
Middleton to Withington and Middleton and back
Is more than enough to make the average Middletonian crack
So I will stand outside the Travelodge and bite my tongue
Your best friends look me up and down and I'll write the song
But yesterday, today and probably tomorrow
This little one will find it hard to find sorrow
Yesterday, today and probably tomorrow
Will they be there on Tuesday night
Running the bath and turning out the lights?
Will they be there on Thursday afternoons
To welcome you home from Euston platform eight, heart-shaped balloons?
No
But yesterday, today and probably tomorrow
Acrylic lyrics - The Courteeners
You're just like plasticine
Being moulded into a libertine dreamer
I feel so sorry for you
My heart goes out to you
If you were thirteen I'd let you off
But you're not and you should know better
Gather my thoughts on a
Notepad with a Parker pen
And write you a letter but
There's not enough paper in the world
There's not enough paper in the world
Oh have you heard all your friends go
Da da da da da da da oh
All the words they seem to know
All the words in your sons go
Da da da da da da da oh
You got an okay jacket
But you've got no spine
Please vacate this city of mine
I only wish you had this song
To back-up you're talking to long
But we know that's not the case
Rather show your face
In an injured bar I know but it goes in
Because they serve substandard gin
Nobody goes in there did you win?
Did they ask though no-one cares?
Dadada dadadaaaa oh,
All the words they seem to know,
All the words in your sons go,
Dadada dadadaaaa oh,
You got an okay jacket,
But you've got no spine,
Please vacate this city of mine,
You're just like plasticine,
Being molded into a libertine dreamer,
I feel so sorry for you,
If you were 13 I would let you off,
But your not and you should have known better,
Gather my thoughts on a notepad,
With a parker pen,
And write you a letter but,
Theres not enough paper in the world,
Theres not enough paper in,
Oh have you heard,
Your friends they go,
Dadada dadadaaaa oh,
Dadada dadadaaaa oh,
Dadada dadadaaaa oh,
Dadada dadadaaaa oh,
You got an ok jacket,
But you've got no spine,
Please vacate this city of mine,
You got an ok jacket,
But you've got no spine,
Please vacate this city of mine.

Kimberley lyrics - The Courteeners
Who is that girl? I think it's kokaine kim
I've not seen her face in ages
Tell me where she's been
Oh kokaine kimberly is dancing by the door
Have you seen her slightly slender self
Sleeping on the floor?
Oh kokaine kim, that girls off the rails
Sparkling teeth, needle nights
Champagne fairytales
Oh girl from Timperley
Who is that guy your with?
I hope he treats you really very nicely
The two days you've got left to live
I've not seen her face in ages
Tell me where she's been
Oh kokaine kimberly is dancing by the door
Have you seen her slightly slender self
Sleeping on the floor?
Oh kokaine kim, that girls off the rails
Sparkling teeth, needle nights
Champagne fairytales
Oh girl from Timperley
Who is that guy your with?
I hope he treats you really very nicely
The two days you've got left to live
An Ex Is An Ex For A Reason lyrics - The Courteeners
If I'm talking to you at the back of the club
Why does he walk past me?
And why does he rub his shoulder past mine
Is it to let me know that he's here
Whisper in his ear, from me I don't care
I can't believe that that is what he thinks of you
That I would click my fingers tell you to jump
And thats what you do I think he needed to trust you
A little bit more
But I will walk over there and make his head sore
[humming]
Is he really threatened by the presence of me
He won't let you walk or talk
He won't let you see what I've got in my pocket for you
And think that you'd love to
Why does he walk past me?
And why does he rub his shoulder past mine
Is it to let me know that he's here
Whisper in his ear, from me I don't care
I can't believe that that is what he thinks of you
That I would click my fingers tell you to jump
And thats what you do I think he needed to trust you
A little bit more
But I will walk over there and make his head sore
[humming]
Is he really threatened by the presence of me
He won't let you walk or talk
He won't let you see what I've got in my pocket for you
And think that you'd love to
