LEAVE BEFORE THE LIGHTS
COME ON
VERSE 1
Well, this is a good idea
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't one
VERSE 2
Well, my friend fancies you
Oh, what a way to begin it all
You said they're always exciting
Words to hear
VERSE 3
And we woke up together
Not quite realising how
Oh, when you're stretching and
yawning
It's always hard in the morning
CHORUS 1
And I suppose that's the price you pay
Well, oh, it isn't what it was
She's thinking he looks different today
And oh, there's nothing left to guess
now
VERSE 4
You left before the lights came on
Because you didn't want to ruin
What it was that was brewing
Before he absolutely had to
VERSE 5
And how can you wake up
With someone you don't love?
And not feel slightly fazed by it
Oh, he had a struggle
VERSE 6
And you woke up together
Not quite realising how
Oh, but he's stretching and yawning
It's always hard in the morning
CHORUS 2
And I suppose that's the price you pay
Well, oh, it isn't what it was
She's thinking he looks different today
And oh, there's nothing left to guess
now
PRELUDE 1 (X2)
Quick, let's leave
Before the lights come on
'Cause then you don't have to see
'Cause then you don't have to see
What you've done
PRELUDE (X4)
I'll walk you up
What time's the bus come?
I'll walk you up
What time's the bus come?
I'll walk you up
What time's the bus come?
I'll walk you up
What time's the bus come?
 FAKE TALES OF SAN
FRANCISCO
VERSE 1
Fake Tales of San Francisco
Echo through the room
More point to a wedding disco
Without a bride or groom
VERSE 2
There's a super cool band yeah
With their trilbys and their glasses of
white wine
And all the weekend rockstars are in
the toilets
Practicing their lines
CHORUS 1
I don't want to hear you
Kick me out, kick me out
I don't want to hear no
Kick me out, kick me out
I don't want to hear you
Kick me out, kick me out
I don't want to hear you
I don't want to hear your
VERSE 3
Fake Tales of San Francisco
Echo through the air
And there's a few bored faces in the
back
All wishing they weren't there
VERSE 4
And as the microphone squeaks
A young girl's telephone beeps
Yeah she's dashing for the exit
And she's running to the streets
outside
"Oh you've saved me",
She screams down the line
"The band weren't very good
And I'm not having a nice time"
CHORUS 2
I don't want to hear you
Kick me out, kick me out
I don't want to hear no
Kick me out, kick me out
PRELUDE 1
Yeah but his bird thinks it's amazing,
though
So all that's left
Is the proof that love's not only blind
but deaf
PRELUDE 2
He talks of San Francisco, he's from
Hunter's Bar
I don't quite know the distance
But I'm sure that's far
Yeah I'm sure that's pretty far
PRELUDE 3
And yeah, I'd love to tell you all of my
problems
You're not from New York City, you're
from Rotherham
So get off the bandwagon, and put
down the handbook
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
PRELUDE 4
Get off the bandwagon and put down
the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down
the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down
the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down
the handbook
Yeah
 OLD YELLOW BRICKS
VERSE 1 CHORUS 2
Old yellow bricks, love's a risk Who wants to sleep in the city that
never wakes up?
Quite the little escapoligist
Blinded by nostalgia
Looked so miffed, when you wished
Who wants to sleep in a city that
For a thousand places better than this never wakes up?
VERSE 2
You are the fugitive PRELUDE 1
But you don't know what you're You're at a loss just because
running from
It wasn't all that you thought it was
You can't kid us
You are a fugitive
And you couldn't trick anyone
But you don't know what you're
Houdini, love, you don't know what running away from
you're running away from

CHORUS 1
Who wants to sleep in the city that
never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia
Who wants to sleep in the city that
never wakes up?
PRELUDE 2
She said
I want to sleep in the city that never
wakes up
And revel in nostalgia
I know I said he wants to sleep in the
city that never wakes up but

VERSE 3
Dorothy was right though
She was enraged by the way

That the emperor put traps in the

cage

And the days, she being dull

Lead to nights reading beer bottles

VERSE 4
You are the fugitive

But you don't know what you're

running from

You can't kid us

And you couldn't trick anyone

Houdini, love, you don't know what

you're running away from
 MY PROPELLER

VERSE 1
If you can summon the strength tow
me

I can't hold down the urgency

You've got to make your descent

slowly

And oil up those sticky keys

CHORUS 1
Coax me out my low and have a spin
of my propeller

VERSE 2
It's a necessary evil

No cause for emergency

Borrowed the beak off a bald eagle

Momentary synergy

CHORUS 2
Coax me out my low

Sink in to tomorrow

Coax me out my low and have a spin

of my propeller

PRELUDE 1 (X4)
My propeller won't spin and I can't get
it started on my own

When are you arriving?

My Propeller
 A CERTAIN ROMANCE
VERSE 1
Well oh they might wear classic
Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that's there ain't no
romance around there
VERSE 2
And there's the truth that they can't
see
They'd probably like to throw a punch
at me
And if you could only see them, then
you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance
around there
CHORUS 1
You know, oh it's a funny thing you
know
We'll tell them if you like
We'll tell them all tonight
They'll never listen
Because their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on
that way
VERSE 3
Over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's
new ring tones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around
here
VERSE 4
Don't get me wrong though, there's
boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool
cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a couple of
cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a
dickhead
CHORUS 2
Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing
you know
We'll tell if you like
We'll tell all tonight
They'll never listen
Because their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on
that way
PRELUDE 1
But I said no
Oh no
Well you won't get me to go
Not anywhere, not anywhere
No, I won't go
Oh no, no
PRELUDE 2
Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known them for a
long long time
And they might overstep the line
But you you just cannot get angry in
the same way
No, not in the same way
So not in the same way
Oh no, oh no no
 CIGARRETTE SMOKER FIONA VERSE 4
Well I never came from no ghetto

VERSE 1 But it wasn't nowhere near here

Sat at the side of the pool at one of Well spoken girls in stilettos

A country home And you think that it ought to act

To give us all a slap

When are ya parents back d'you
