Any Questions 04:19

Made it to the bar Made it out the rain I love the buzz of a natural disaster Fall into your arms like a kid into a pond I’ll keep the table warm when you go smoke in the arbour New sensations; “…any questions?” Well then, the answer’s no I’m not fussed about expanding horizons But I’ll break it to you slow If the streets there weren’t flooded we could go to that rock and roll show “…Any questions?” We laid in bed until a ridiculous time Nearly a sensible hour for the following day Please don’t pursuade me to release this fling And turn it serious The visual cues that dissolve in the charts Drink mixologists in, out of coconut halves Hanging over like debt in a student set-up Complete with a Rocky Horror Picture Show VHS “…any questions?” Rolled off your settee for what seemed like an age And then you showed me my cage, “…any questions?” When your hand aint where you left it before When your band aint where you left them before Are your hands where you left them before? Are your hands where you left them before?

Here comes Mr. Signature Dish Writing a vampire novel on the duotone board Always nice to see you cultivating hair pin bends Who’s behind the curtain? Who’s the very special friend? Cutting the mustard Trip hazard stripes were the last thing on mind last night That was my downfall (at least I can admit it) Mr. Highwire Act sacked his assistant Brought in the card cheat What a palarva! Who’s in the hot tub Chilling the carva? I’m in the glove box Exciting the riff raff All joking aside Ta for the ride! And the great jokes When we got to the water Strangers were swimming Out to the island where there’s landlines in the chalets Backless concealers Hiding your purchase Stick and pokes of Robbie Williams verses That’s for the tip pot Compliments to the Little Chef on the A41 Hurry back I haven’t got the knack with this ordering system Birthday boy is sweet talking servers It’s the tiki ceramics It’s the totem pole grimace And the faces of dread On the fake island fauna But the upholstery’s top notch But at what terrible cost? He’s a playboy of inland europe An economic collosus Lift the colloshes and call me when the course is done And all of the great things he’s done All of the great things he’s done All of the great things he’s done

Somebody thinks I’m good Somebody’s mistaken Somebody thinks I’m good Somebody’s mistaken She had dead dark hair and a Dry Cleaning T The words came out her mouth and shattered over me Shattered over me Coming down, falling like flakes Fake snow flakes Flake snow flaking all around me Down to the ground Down to the ground, ground, dark ground Oh get me out of here, get me out of here (I’m not a celebrity, but get me out of here) Nothing to do, nothing to don’t Are you going to woo me? Promise me you won’t We’re all in the same boat We’re not in the same boat We’re not in the same boat We used to be but we’re not in the same boat Nothing to do with you, not trying to be nasty But we’re just not in the same boat Looking for C_____ , she’s a good friend of mine I need her to be helpful now Trying to summon the good times Like a dove from above Don’t want the things I really love to get tainted by the misery Keep it clean Keep it clean Keep it clean Keep it clean Keep it clean Keep it clean Keep it clean Keep it clean Keep it clean It’s not collatoral Save The Last Crusade, save Classic Corrie She says the words She says the words They come out of her mouth and then they shower over me She has nice words to say, O.K. Her name begins with L Hey, that’s the same as me! Hey that’s the same, hey that’s the same Hey that’s the same as me Some nice words? Keep them at bay They’ll only upset me Dead kind words Come over me That’s dead nice of you to say Thought about thought about thought about thought about Thought about thought about thought about thought about Thought about it more than I should have Thought about it so much that it’s almost like a past love Past love that comes into your mind when you’re just doing nowt Thinking about making a record and then - - - THEY’RE IN YOUR MIND THEY’RE MIND IN YOUR MIND And embarassing situations and sections of time That you regret how you acted and you think “I’m such a twat” And sometimes when you think of things, Think of times - - - think think think - - - think of times Then you think of her and you just can’t bear it I just can’t bear it, I just can’t help it Save XFM! Save Classic Corrie! Save Last Crusade! Save Grease Lightning! Trying to summon it up like a dove from above Trying to make sure that the stuff that I love Doesn’t get tainted by the misery I just can’t bear it, I just can’t bear it Get that hair out your eyes Get your hair out your eyes Kind words, flooding over me Makes me feel sorry to be here Sorry that I tried to ignore you again I’m just like that sometimes Sometimes, aye aye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Spinach in a can Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Popeye Spinach in a can
