Close Lyrics
I've met someone that makes me feel seasick Oh what a skill to have, oh what a skill to have So many skills that make her distinctive But they're not mine to have, no they're not mine Whenever she looks i read the nearest paper Though i don't care about the soaps No i don't care about the soaps Though i'm acting like i'm in an Eastenders episode
If this is a rom-com Kill the director If this is a rom-com Kill the director please
Carrots help us see much better in the dark Don't talk to girls, they'll break your heart And this is my head and this is my spout But they work together, they can't figure anything out So with the angst of a teenage band Here's another song about a gender i'll never understand Here's another song about a gender i'll never understand
If this is a rom-com Kill the director If this is a rom-com Kill the director If this is a rom-com Kill the director please
This is no Bridget Jones This is no Bridget Bridget This is no Bridget Jones This is no Bridget Bridget This is no Bridget Jones This is no Bridget Bridget This is no Bridget Jones This is no Bridget Bridget This is no Bridget Jones This is no Bridget Bridget This is no Bridget Jones This is no Bridget Bridget This is no Bridget Jones This is no Bridget, Bridget Jones
I've just had the craziest week, Like a party bag of lies, booze and then deceit. And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud, It's theraputic somehow.
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep, And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve. So I'm moving to New York cos I've got issues with my sleep, Looks like Christmas came early, Christmas came early for me. I put one foot forward and ended up thirty yards back. And am I losing touch or am I just completely off the track? And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud, It's theraputic somehow. So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep, And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve. So I'm moving to New York cos I've got issues with my sleep, Looks like Christmas came early, Christmas came early for me. So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep, And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve. So I'm moving to New York cos I've got issues with my sleep, Looks like Christmas came early, Christmas came early for me
I should have known you didn't have the time my dear To let this twenty something bring you down with his list of fears I'd like to think we had some good times though It's just my inability to think outside the box I know!
She was signed, sealed and lost in the post, Gone where all the letters we write to Santa go (Go to Santa Go!)
I could see your interest wane my dear She wanted Mary Poppins and I took her to King Lear Yes we've had some spills shall I say And I thought you were going to leave, but not that you'd evaporate
She was signed, sealed and lost in the post, Gone where all the letters we write to Santa go (Go to Santa Go!) Please go to Santa go to Santa go go go.......
Am I in a scene from 'Midsummer Nights Dream'? I thought raves like these died in the 90s? The forest is breathing along with us tonight Upper Class thugs take middle-class drugs And we all get lowered in size This is not my scene, I should not be here tonight
Laura, ooh oh oooh oooh oh Laura, get me home tonight Trance music bangs a comical dance of cardboard boxes and fish We're the fairies from hell and we're all on a death wish This is not my scene, this is killing me I don't want to be here tonight And the girl who can save me is well across the Pennines
Laura, ooh oh oooh oooh oh Laura, get me home tonight Laura, ooh oh oooh oooh oh Laura, get me home tonight
It all started on the school bus You were nine and I was ten Remember you had a walkman All I had was a middle part and a pen
Oh sweet Louise! Whatever happened to her? Then it all went downhill You grew tall, I stayed the same I guess that that's just puberty Making us boys always play a losing game
Oh sweet Louise! I always found it hard to work things through Those school uniforms made a joke, A joke of me and you I'm glad I'm not back in school She got an older boyfriend (how could she?) Had a beard, smoked Marlborough Red How can I compete with that (how can he?) When I don?t even know the location of the bike shed
Oh sweet Louise! I always found it hard to work things through Those school uniforms made a joke, A joke of me and you I always found it hard to work things through Those school uniforms made a joke, A joke of me and you
I remember? Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere I always found it hard to work things through Those school uniforms made a joke, Made a joke of me and you I always found it hard to work things through Those school uniforms made a joke, Made a joke of me and you I'm glad I'm not back in school
I'd say that this is darkest song I ever wrote. No hint of a smile, or the usual quirky anecdotes. No, this is a song about someone knew what not to say, what not to do, so now, I think I'll just be honest. I hope that no one ever leaves, 'cause I don't wanna be alone with me, not with the things that rush up and down this symphonous smile. Here comes the love anxiety, can't let it grab a hold of me, not after last time.
Why'd you have to wear skirts and heels like that? She's blinding anyway but now she's floodlighting up the match. Well it's 20 minutes 'til showtime, but the backstage is the stage tonight, so now, I think I'll just be honest.
I hope that no one ever leaves, 'cause I don't wanna be alone with me, not with the things that rush up and down this symphonous smile. Here comes the love anxiety, can't let it grab a hold of me, not like the last time. Here comes the love anxiety, it's gonna grab a hold of me, just like the last time
I'm back in Liverpool, And everything seems the same, But I worked something out last night, That changed this little boys brain, A small piece of advice, That took twenty-two years in the make, And I will break it for you now, Please learn from my mistakes, Please learn from my mistakes.
Let's dance to joy division, And celebrate the irony, Everything is going wrong, But we're so happy, Let's dance to joy division, And raise our glass to the ceiling, 'Cos this could all go so wrong, But we're so happy, Yeah we're so happy.
So if you're ever feeling down, Grab your purse and take a taxi, To the darker side of town, That's where we'll be, And we will wait for you and lead you through the dancefloor, Up to the DJ booth, You know what to ask for, You know what to ask for.
Go ask for Joy Division, And celebrate the irony, Everything is going wrong, But we're so happy, Go ask for Joy Division, And raise your glass to the ceiling, 'Cos this could all go so wrong, But we're so happy, So happy.
So let the love tear us apart, I've found the cure for a broken heart, Let it tear us apart,
Let the love tear us apart, I've found the cure for a broken heart, Let it tear us apart, (Let it tear us apart) So let the love tear us apart, I've found the cure for a broken heart, Let it tear us apart, (Let it tear us apart) So let the love tear us apart, I've found the cure for a broken heart, Let it tear us apart, Let it tear us apart, Let it tear us apart.
Let's dance to joy division, And celebrate the irony, Everything is going wrong, But were so happy, Let's dance to joy division, And raise our glass to the ceiling, 'Cos this could all go so wrong, But we're so happy, Yeah we're so happy, So happy, Yeah we're so happy, So happy, Yeah we're so happy.
It`s 8`o clock and im feeling fine im out on a date tonight in a candle lit resturant down by the river side. Everything's going alright I guess, she took down my number and home address. Everything was going perfectly until...
It backfired at the disco, she slapped me at the disco, I did something I'll never forget
It was a chat-up line built not to impress More a sleazy remark on her whorish dress My wires crossed like they've never done before Well it's 3 o' clock and I'm feeling shite I'm going home alone tonight everything was going perfectly until...
It backfired at the disco, she slapped me at the disco I did something I'll never forget It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco I made a move when it was well out of context It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco Yeah, it backfired at the disco, when she slapped me at the disco It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco
I think the postman intercepts everything I try and send to you Cos he's infatuated and he's the fulcrum between us too
And I cant blame him cause I'd cheat a priest just to get to you... She works in a dental practice 9 'till 5 how does she manage? Considering her nights don't pass out 'till 3 So I guess that flossing is he last thing in her health routine Oooh ooh oh oh ooh And I don't mid that she gets hammered and goes home with other guys There's no jealousy 'cos she's my little pipedream fantasy
I saw her slam back tequila's like Oliver Reed on an Irish stag do And I’ll wait if you stay because foggy London town's not built for me or you Don't leave miss pipedream cos I love you! Oooh ooh oh oh ooh
And I don't mid that she gets hammered and goes home with other guys There's no jealousy 'cos she's my little pipe dream fantasy Oooh ooh oh oh ooh
I'm going to the doctors on friday im going to the doctors on friday they make me better, they give me pills and all sorts, my GP's going to help me this friday her name's suzanne and she's got a PhD and i think that she likes me, well she's always smiling,
Dont think im wasting your time this is not a drama piece of mine i'm not here to tell you lies suzanne you better believe me this time
Help me suzanne, help help me suzanne! Help me suzanne, help help me suzanne! She told me to stop smoking but i'll do it anyways she told me to stop smoking but i'll do it anyways i don't care now, i can't see it hurt me Shetold me to stop drinking but i'll do it anyway she told me to stop drinking but i'll do it anyway i don't care now, maybe ive died inside
Help me suzanne, help help me suzanne! Help me suzanne, help help me suzanne!
She works downtown in an unmarked bar, Flyin' round poles she always gave me the fright of my life I didn't mean to get involved it was the alcohol mixed with and empty feeling inside Its such a bad idea to fall in love with a 'lady of the night Why didn't God give her two left feet Then she couldn't run away from me!
Months go by and I'm alone in bed While she's greasing up for when the businessmen and lawyers arrive I've got to wear a beard a suit and tie to get past the door if I want to see my girl tonight I go to all this effort just to see my fair Patricia going home with some other guy Why didn't God give her two left feet Then she couldn't run away from me! Why didn't God give her two left feet then she couldn't run away from me!
She thinks I'm sad and that's alright But she doesn't hate me so there's my little alibi I can't, I can't leave, I can't I can't I can't She's my coked-up botox girl Patricia, Patricia Oh Patricia the Stripper you are my sunshine Oh Patricia the stripper come on home tonight Oh Patricia the Stripper you are my sunshine So why can't you come home with me tonight?
This is my first wedding and I hope it is my last Things would be fantastic if me and the bride didn't have a past So I stand by the buffet and submerse myself in brie I'm tactically positioned Yeah because the bar is near and the champagne's for free Oooh oooh ooh ooh This is my first wedding and I hope it passes quick, If I’ve got no feelings for her then why is my stomach feeling so sick? As they dance to their soppy song I pray it isn't love Because she's my heartless bitch that I just can't seem to get enough of Oooh oooh ooh ooh
She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful! She'll steal your mind first then your car she’s not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful! Blame it on an evil twist of fate, that she created from the start Just one more single malt then it’s off to bed for me My head is spinning round and my legs are break-dancing (HE'S PISSED!) I only meant to say farewell but I spilt more than my drink I can't remember exactly what I said but I remember being chased up the street!
Oooh oooh ooh ooh She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful! She'll steal your mind first then your car She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful! Blame it on an evil twist of fate, that she created from the start She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful!
