Fake Tales of San FransiscoEcho through the air

And there's a few bored faces in the backAll wishing they weren't there

And as the microphone squeaksA young girl's telephone beepsYeah she's dashing for the exitAnd she's running to the streets outside"Oh you've saved me," she screams down the line"The band aren't very goodAnd I'm not having a nice time"

I don't want to hear you(Kick me out, kick me out)

You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You WereStaring Right At Me

One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the

feeling racesBack up to their brains to form expressions on theirstupid facesThey don't want to say hello, but I can't want to sayhello

My heartbeat's at its peak, when you're coming up tospeak

Well I'm so tense and never tenserWell I'll go a bit Frank SpencerAnd I'm talking gibberishTip of the tongue but I can't deliver it...ProperlyOh, it's all getting on top of meAnd if it weren't this dark

Everybody's trying to crack the jokes and that to makeyou smileThose that claim that they're not showing off aredrowning in denialBut they're not half as bad as me, say anything and I'll

agreeCause when it comes to acting up, I'm sure I could write

a book

And now that you're more than a part in the playIt's slightly easier to think what to sayYou had us all standing on our headsDoing our best tricks, yeah

Never againNever againWill there be another one quite as desirable as you?One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the

feeling races

Back up to their brains to form expressions on theirstupid faces Still Take You Home It's ever so funny,

I don't think you're specialI don't think you're coolYou're just probably alert,but under these lights you look beautifulBut I'm struggling,I can't see through your fake tanAnd you know it for a fact thateverybody's eating out of your hands

What do you know?Oh you know nothing!But I'll still take you homeYeah, I'll still take you homeWhat do you know?Oh you don't know nothing!

Fancy seeing you in here,you're all tarted up and you don't look the sameI haven't seen you since last yearand surprisingly you have forgot my nameBut you know it and you knew it all alongOh you say you have forgotten,

I fancy you with a passion,you're a Topshop princess, a rockstar tooYou're a fad you're a fashionand I'm having a job trying to talk to youBut it's alright, put it all on one-side,everybody's looking,you've got control of everyone's eyesIncluding mine

Riot Van Up rolled the riot van

And sparked excitement in the boysBut the policemen look annoyedPerhaps these are ones they should avoid

They got a chase last nightfrom men with truncheon's dressed in hats

They didn't do that much wrong,still ran away though for the laugh

"Please just stop talkingBecause they won't find us if you doOh those silly boys in blueWell they won't catch me and you"

"Have you been drinking son,you don't look old enough to me""I'm sorry officer is there a certain ageyou're supposed to be?... nobody told me"

Up rolled the riot vanAnd these lads just wind the coppers upAsk why they don't catch proper crooksGet their address and their name's tookBut they couldn't care less

He got thrown in the riot vanAnd all the coppers kicked him inAnd there was no way he could winJust had to take it on the chin

Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured Ask if we can have six in

If not we'll have to have two

You're coming up our end aren't youI'll get one with youHe wouldn't let us have six inEspecially not with the foodHe could have just told us no thoughHe didn't have to be rude

See her with the green dressI talked to her at the barHow come it's already two pound fifty?


7/13

We've only gone about a yardCouldn't you see she were gorgeousShe were beyond beliefThere was this lad at her side drinking his Smirnoff Ice

Can I buy you a tropical reef?

Sitting going backwardsAnd I didn't want to leaveI said it's High Green mateVia Hillsborough please

Well how funny were that sketch earlierUp at that taxi rankOh no you woulda missed it,It were when you went to the bankThese lads went round proper shoutingAbout who was next in the queueThe kind of thing that would seem so funnyBut not when they've both had a few

Well calm down, temper, temperYou shouldn't get so annoyed

You're acting like a silly little boyAnd they wanted to be menAnd do some fighting in the street(They said) no surrenderNo chance of retreat

Sitting going backwardsAnd I didn't want to leaveI said it's High Green mateVia Hillsborough please

Drunken plots hatched to jump it, ask around are yasure?

Went for it but the red light was showingAnd the red light indicates doors are secured Mardy Bum

Now then Mardy BumI see your frownAnd it's like looking down the barrel of a gunAnd it goes offAnd out come all these wordsOh there's a very pleasant side to youA side I much prefer

It's one that laughs and jokes aroundRemember cuddles in the kitchen

Yeah, to get things off the groundAnd it was up, up and awayOh, but it's right hard to rememberThat on a day like today when you're all argumentativeAnd you've got the face on

Well now then Mardy BumOh I'm in trouble again, aren't II thought as muchCause you turned over there


8/13

Pulling that silent disappointment faceThe one that I can't bear

Can't we laugh and joke aroundRemember cuddles in the kitchenYeah, to get things off the groundAnd it was up, up and awayOh, but it's right hard to rememberThat on a day like today when you're all argumentativeAnd you've got the face on

Yeah I'm sorry I was lateWell I missed the trainAnd then the traffic was a stateAnd I can't be arsed to carry on in this debateThat reoccurs ,oh when you say I don't careWell of course I do, yeah I clearly do!

So laugh and joke aroundRemember cuddles in the kitchenYeah, to get things off the groundAnd it was up, up and awayStill it's right hard to rememberThat on a day like today when you're all argumentative

And you've got the face on Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But... Well I've seen your eyes as they flicked on me

What is he doing? What on earth's the plan? Has he gotone?You'd better give me some pointersSince you are the big rocket launcher and I'm just theshotgun

Well I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyesThat might be a surprise but it's trueThat I'm not like you and I don't want your adviceOr your praise or to move in the ways you do

Cause all you people are vampiresAnd all your stories are staleAnd though you pretend to you'll stand by usI know you're sure that we'll fail

Well I've seen your eyes as they flicked on meWhat a confusionYour snarl is just so condescendingTry to explain that we're onto a winIf you feel we get inNear recoups what we're spending

He says, I can't believe that you drove all that wayWell how much did they pay ya? How much did they pay ya?

You'd've been better to stay round our wayThinking 'bout things but not actually doing a thing

Cause all you people are vampires! When The Sun Goes Down So who's that girl there?


9/13

I wonder what went wrongSo that she had to roam the streetsShe don't do major credit cardsI doubt she does receiptsIt's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy manJust give him half a chanceI bet he'll rob you if he canCan see it in his eyes, yeahThat he's got a driving banAmongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the nightAnd he told Roxanne to put on her red lightThey're all infected but he'll be alrightCause he's a scumbag, don't you knowI said he's a scumbag, don't you know!

Although you're trying not to listenI bet your eyes are staring at the groundShe makes a subtle propositionSorry love I'll have to turn you down

And oh he must be up to somethingWant half a chance to show he's more than likelyI've got a feeling in my stomachI start to wonder what his story might beWhat his story might be

They said it changes when the sun goes downAnd they said it changes when the sun goes downAnd they said it changes when the sun goes downAround hereAround

And look here comes a Ford Mondeo

Isn't he Mister InconspicuousAnd he don't have to say 'owtShe understands she's here to get picked up

And she's delighted when she sees himPulling in and giving her the eyeBecause she must be fucking freezingScantily clad beneath the clear night skyShe don't stop in the winter, no and...

They said it changes when the sun goes downAnd they said it changes when the sun goes downAnd they said it changes when the sun goes down

Around here

They said it changes when the sun goes downAnd they said it changes when the sun goes downAnd they said it changes when the sun goes downAround hereAround here

What a scummy manJust give him half a chance


10/13

I bet he'll rob you if he canCan see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty planI hope you're not involved at all

From Ritz To The Rubble Last night these two bouncers

And one of em's alrightThe other one's the scary oneHis way or no way, totalatarian

He's got no time for youLooking or breathingHow he don't want you to

So step out the queueHe makes examples of youAnd there's nowt you can sayBehind they go through to the bit where you payAnd you realise then that it's finally the timeTo walk back past ten thousand eyes in the line

And you can swap jumpers and make another moveInstilled in your brain you've got something to proveTo all the smirking faces and the boys in blackWhy can't they be pleasant?

Why can't they have a laugh?

He's got his hand in your chestHe wants to give you a duffWell secrectly I think they want it all to kick offThey want, arms flying everywhere andBottles aswell it's justSomething to talk aboutA story to tell you

Well I'm so glad they turned us all away we'll put itdown to fate

I thought a thousand million things that I could neversay this morning

Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?

This town's a different town todayThis town's a different town to what it was last nightYou couldn't have done that on a Sunday

That girl's a different girl todaySaid that girl's a different girl to her you kissed last

night

You couldn't have done that on a Sunday

Well I'm so glad they turned us all away we'll put itdown to fate

I thought a thousand million things that I could neverthink this morning

Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?


11/13

Last night what we talked aboutIt made so much senseBut now the haze has ascendedIt don't make no sense anymore

A Certain Romance Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks

Or knackered ConverseOr tracky bottoms tucked in socksBut all of that's what the point is notThe point's that there ain't no romance around thereAnd there's the truth that they can't seeThey'd probably like to throw a punch at meAnd if you could only see them, then you would agreeAgree that there ain't no romance around there

You know, oh it's a funny thing you knowWe'll tell 'em if you likeWe'll tell 'em all tonightThey'll never listenCause their minds are made upAnd course it's all okay to carry on that way

And over there there's broken bonesThere's only music, so that there's new ringtones

And it don't take no Sherlock HolmesTo see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bandsAnd kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands

And just cause he's had a coupla cansHe thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you knowWe'll tell em if you likeWe'll tell em all tonight

They'll never listenCause their minds are made upAnd course it's all okay to carry on that way

I said noOh no!Oh you won't get me to go!Anywhere, said anywhereI won't goOh no no!

Well over there there's friends of mineWhat can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time

And yeah they might overstep the lineBut I just cannot get angry in the same wayNot in the same wayNot in the same wayOh no, oh no no
