Lyrics

I wouldn't bury you.
I wouldn't, even if you died.
I wouldn't bury you.
I wouldn't bury you.

I wouldn't bury you.
I wouldn't, even if you died.
I wouldn't bury you.
I wouldn't bury you.

Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Love me.
Love me.
Love me.
Love me.

I wouldn't bury you.
I wouldn't, even if you died.
I wouldn't bury you.
I wouldn't bury you.

Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Love me.
Love me.
Love me.
Love me.
Waaahhhhhh!!

[Rhythm Guitar Solo]

I wouldn't bury you.
I wouldn't, even if you died.
I wouldn't bury you (bury), you (bury).
You you YOU!

Why don't you love me?

Why don't you love me?
Love me.

Lyrics

Cast your mind back a few years,
Do you remember how it was?
How we used to be,
Blind and carefree.

You said I was silly for holding your hand,
You made a joke about my stupid hair.
I'm still laughing,
I'm still laughing.

Yesterday was such a grand day,
But I don't think it will ever come back again.

Goodbye to moonlight,
Farewell to twilight,
Cos everything is over now.
No lipstick, no make-up,
No kissing, no break-up,
Cos everything is over now.
It's over now.

Goodness me you're so grown up,
You seem to know what's best for both you and me.
I don't care now,
I'll just have a mare.
How we used to be,
Blind and carefree.

Yesterday was such a grand day,
But I don't think it will ever come back again.

Goodbye to moonlight,
Farewell to twilight,
Cos everything is over now.
No lipstick, no make-up,
No kissing, no break-up,
Cos everything is over now.
It's over now.
It's over now.
It's over now.

Yesterday was such a grand day,
But I don't think it will ever come back again.
Will it, will it, will it?

Goodbye to moonlight,
Farewell to twilight,
Cos everything is over now.
No lipstick, no make-up,
No kissing, no break-up,
Cos everything is over now.

Goodbye to moonlight,
Farewell to twilight,
Cos everything is over now.
No lipstick, no make-up,
No kissing, no break-up,
Cos everything is over nowooddupplpfffrrtt.

Lyrics

Not all of my questions are answered but,
Thanks for your help.
Not all of my questions are answered but,
Thanks for your help.

What's my line, what's the story?
Don't me laugh!
Take my time, you're joking surely?
Don't make me laugh, oh yeah!

Whatever I say or do,
It makes no sense to you,
The way I speak's no trick,
It's true you make me sick.
Whatever I say or do,
It makes no sense to you,
The way I speak's no trick,
It's true you make me sick.
You make me sick,
Is it any wonder?

I like it when we smile a lot,
I say things, which you forget.
I like it when we smile a lot,
I say things, which you forget.

What's my line, what's the story?
Don't make me laugh!
Take my time, you're joking surely?
Don't make me laugh, oh yeah!

Whatever I say or do,
It makes no sense to you,
The way I speak's no trick,
It's true you make me sick.
Whatever I say or do,
It makes no sense to you,
The way I speak's no trick,
It's true you make me sick.
You make me sick,

Whatever I say or do,

The way I speak's no trick,

Whatever I say or do,
It makes no sense to you,
The way I speak's no trick,

Is it any wonder?
Oi Oi Oi oi come on!

Oi! Oi! Huarrhgh!!

 

Smiling

Lyrics

Sit down, stand up, walk around,
Whisper softly, talk aloud.
Don't answer back, when I try to be nice.
I fell down, and it felt good.

Look I'm smiling, and you're smiling back.
Only want to be with you.
As always that is what I want,
That is what I want, yeah.

One day, I lie, next to you,
Whisper softly, whisper softly.
Go on, living, forever.
And I feel good, and you too.

Look I'm smiling, and you're smiling back.
Only want to be with you.
As always that is what I want,
That is what I want, yeah.

[chug chug chug]

Look I'm smiling, and you're smiling back.
Only want to be with you.
Look I'm smiling, and you're smiling back.
Only want to be with you.

Look I'm smiling, and you're smiling back.
Only want to be with you.
As always that is what I want,
That is what I want, yeah.

That's what I want.
That's what I want.
That is what I want.

I'm smiling at you, you're smiling at me,
That is what I want.
That's what I want.

Lyrics

Hoi! Hoi! Hoi! Hoi!
Hoi! Hoi! Hoi! Hoi!

And once more I'm feeling sore, the room is spinning round me.
Too much drink the night before, at least I slept soundly.
Mother's in the kitchen peeling carrots by the light of one bare bulb.
Daddy's in the dark outside, he's had too much to drink again tonight.

Yet again I'm back again, sitting on the sofa.
Nothing's on TV tonight, why don't you come over?
Meet you by John Menzies, we'll go down beside the river Thames this evening.
I'll drink what I always drink, and we'll talk about things which have no meaning.

We're always looking for something to hold on to.
We're with our friends, they're the best thing we can find.
We don't belong here, but where else can we go to?
It's far too late now to stop!

Haft past ten, same again, and we'll be going home soon.
Don't know why I feel so high, maybe it's the full moon?
Walking down this street again, this street I've walked ten thousand times before.
Wind is at my back again, good night my friends I'm back indoors again.

We're always looking for something to hold on to.
We're with our friends, they're the best things we can find.
We don't belong here, but where else can we go to?
It's far too late now to stop it, oh!

Hoi! Hoi! Hoi! Hoi! Hoi!

Meet you by John Menzies, we'll go down beside the river Thames this evening.
I'll drink what I always drink, and we'll talk about things which have no meaning.

Lyrics

Sometimes I like,
To get on my bike and ride,
Ride beside the river.
I stop beside a pub and have,
A pint and wish I'd never.

Have to go to school again.
Have to brush my hair again.
Have to do, anything I don't want,
Again.

Sometimes I like,
To get on my bike and ride,
Ride beside the river.
And stop beside a pub and have,
A pint and wish I'd never.

Have to go to school again.
Have to brush my hair again.
Have to do, any f**king thing I wanna do,
Again.

You tell me things which I don't want to hear.
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting all year.
Finally I see a smile on your face,
And you go and disappear,
Heyyy!

Sometimes,
I get onto a tube and go,
Somewhere nice in London.
The sun is shining across the city,
And I wish that you were with me.
What am I supposed to do,
Stuck out here without you.
I don't want to do anything without you,
Again.

Trust you to give in, then take it away.
I'm fading, I'm fading, I'm fading away.
Just when I found what I wanted to say,
You went and disappeared,
Heyyy!

[Guitar Solo]

Trust you to give in, then take it away.
I'm fading, I'm fading, I'm fading away.
Just when I found what I wanted to say,
You went and disappeared,
HeyyyyyyyyyyyyyghhhArrggggguuhhhhh!
