1.I'm A Cuckoo(The Avalanches Remix)
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
I'm glad to see you
I had a funny dream
And you were wearing funny shoes
You were going to a dance
You were dressed like a punk but you are too young to remember
I'm glad to see you
I'm outside the house
I'm not thinking right today
I've got no energy
I'm glad that you are waiting with me
Tell me all about your day
Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could've been
I'm happy for you
You've made it hard for me
I counted on your company
You are staying with your friends tonight
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I keep taking everything to be a sign
I'm happy for you
But now I know this hurt is poison
Too sharp to be bled
I'm sitting on my empty bed
I'm on my empty bed
At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding
I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
Scary moment, lovin' every moment
I was high from playing shows
We lost a singer to her clothes
My trouble raised its ugly head
I was revealed
And I was home in bed
I was a kid again
Jesus told me, go after every coin like it was the last in the
world
And protect the wayward child
But I'm a little lost sheep
I need my Bo Peep
You know I need My Shepherd here tonight
Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could've been
I'd like to see you
But really I should stay away
And let you settle down
I've got no claims to your crown
I was the boss of you
And I loved you
You know I loved you
It's all over now
And I was there for you
When you were lonely
I was there when you were bad
I was there when you were sad
Now it's my time of need
I'm thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side？
I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
2.Suicide Girl
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
My friend,
She wants,
To be a suicide girl.
I'll take her picture,
For the whole wide world.
I've known her for a long time,
You could say that I'm a fan,
But I always thought that I would be her man.
My friend,
She wants,
To be the girl of suicide.
She wants a number,
For her radical side.
I know that she is special,
I can see what she has got,
But without her gloves and garnered clothes
She will take them to the world,
Exposed, she gives it all away.
My friend,
She sometimes gets anxiety and stress.
She got a man,
From the NHS.
She proclaims a week of sadness!
She's abstained from telling jokes!
The world will see her poor image
A butterfly to empathy.
I know that I can do it,
I'm in to light, I'm in to shade.
But let's face the facts,
We ain't goin' back,
When she takes off her clothes we'll never be the same again!
3.Love On The March
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
Animals come, banging their drums
Street clears in summer
kids run around, having their fun
men are already drunk
A religious holiday's begun
maybe it's because we have no sun
Marching begins, animals sing
words that are twisted to
meanings of hate, look at the face
bitter and ready to fight
a religious holiday's begun
maybe it's because we have no sun
Lost in the crowd
shouting loud
Drinking my fill of a bottle of gin
I'll do anything to help me forget about you
You're full of it,
You hopelessly flirt
with that girl who works in the pub for a night
but at closing time
you will be at my door
Tell me what it is I have to do？
I'd sacrifice everything for you.
I was feeling so good and the sun was shining
all I wanted was to get across the street
I made my biggest mistake when I left her with a yelling match
and a broken kettle.
I'm sick of this, you're a little kid
I always have to bail you out
when you take off with your drinking friends
and their idiot games
If you sing the songs you half deserve to take a beat
They beat me up 'cause I crossed the march
they said I need to learn a bit of respect
but I am on their side and I follow the team
when I get out of here
somebody's gonna get it.

5.Your Secrets
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStuart Murdoch
To step out of your cradle is like coming down
I just had somebody tell me I was introspective to a fault
I'll be a doozer if I can
But I will contented be right now if we could keep our secret
You could tell me all your secrets
All you want to do is run and hide
You can keep it inside
If you tell me all your secrets
I can keep it inside
But if it's as it seems, and I keep having dreams
About the two of us, then it's obvious
You should stop treating me like I was just a child
You should start treating me like I was just as wild as you
To step out of you cradle is like coming down
I just had somebody tell me I was introspective to a fault
I'll be a doozer if I can
But I will contented be right now if we could keep our secret
We could be a little closer
The mystery you're trying to preserve
You don't need in reserve
We could get a little closer
Intimacy has the greater charm
And it would do no harm
To give a little way, oh please stop holiding sway
You could even read me your poetry
If you could stop treating me like I was just a child
You should start treating me like I was just as wild as you
6.Your Cover's Blown(Miaoux Miaoux Remix)
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
Your Covers Blown
Say what you want and leave your shyness home
Do what you want and write a little poem
Leave it for her and live another day
And you should ＊leave＊ it for her the girl around the way
Write down a list of things you want to do
Leave it in work because you want to live a little
Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed mini
Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money
Hey lady, put the __ phone down
Cancel all operations
Tell your friends to cool it
Your cover's blown I want to see you alone
Cancel all operations
Tell your friends to cool it
Your cover's blown
Planning a break is such a tricky thing
Because you move to the country, she comes back again
And then you move to the city but she goes abroad
Is she telling you something, is she getting bored？
I'll make a rough plan to sleep around,
I'm in a rut I need a change,
I'm a lazy rat if I am honest
My bold change of tack will fade out with the summer I've got no
appetite and all the girls are bummers
My baby doesn't look at me
The way I want her to look
She doesn't comprend
My baby's got it going on
She's got a friend hid in every street in this town
I want to go out but there's nobody home I'll go on my own
Thus starts the lonely walking
There's always too much talking I should have stayed home
She starts her cool caressing
The kid, she starts undressing
I should've stayed home
The dj's picking up speed
That's something I just don't need
I should've stayed home
The gossip's bearing down on me
The kids are pairing off in front of me
I should've stayed home
I should've stayed home
I think I'll go home
Listen lady, put your __ phone down
Cancel all operations
Tell your friends to cool it
Your cover's blown I need to see you alone
Cancel all operations
Tell your friends to cool it
Listen lady, leave your __ phone down
Cancel all operations
Tell your friends to cool it
Your cover's blown I need to see you alone
Cancel all operations
Tell your friends to cool it
Hey lady, meet my mum and dad
You're a strange aberration
In this land of potted plants and boxlike houses
Where the girls like mouses
Breathe a long sigh of resignation
You resign your self to keep on growing
Like the seeds you're sowing
You're a strange apparition In this land of grammar schools and
gala days
The ladies set in their ways
You had a long conversation With a kid next door
He's a little slow
But in your favour, it shows
Cancel all operations
Tell your friends to move out to the sticks
Listen lady, leave the boy home
Cancel all operations
Tell your friends there's more to you than this
7.I Took A Long Hard Look
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
I took a？ long hard look
At the heroes of my youth.
And their antics on the page there on
Can no longer sustain me
Ever since I was a boy
They brought me joy
But the shackles of the way I was
Can no longer contain me
It was exciting
And enlightening
Reverberating through my dreams
Goodbye to reality
And set a course for wayward schemes.
Now I can't sing
I can't feel
I don't know what is real.
I was travelling through the past for years
Tell me what's my destination
Now the past is gone
I don't even have a song
We've not sung before
To a closing door
Tell me what's my situation？
I saw the film,
I lived the book
I got the haircut
That's all it took
But now I know it's going to take
A little more now I'm awake
I took along hard look
Now I'm waiting for the phone to ring
I glance at the inbox
Is there any tantalising mail there in
There was lust in my restless heart
But now I know what true love means
Goodbye to reality
And set sail for dreamsy

11.I Didn't See It Coming(Richard X Mix)
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms, I remember
We've been going transcontinental
Got no car, we just take a rental
But we don't have the money
(money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms, I remember
Everybody's talking about you
Every word's a whisper without you
But we don't have the money
(money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Trouble's never far away when you're around
I didn't see it coming
I'm just not in the running
Take me on a train 'cos I'm not flying
I can see the world from a different side
Read about us in the morning papers
When we make it alive
I didn't see it coming
I'm just not in the running
And we don't need a lifetime
We're following the right line
12.I Believe In Travellin' Light
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
Shimmering travellin' light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, Glistening, waking up the darkest night
Waiting for travellin' light
Though the sun has yet to appear
Inkling faint perception is near
Bloodied, battered in the dew
Leaves and trees are calling you
Waiting for my travellin' light
Shimmering, travel by
Magical waves under the sky
She knows no time, she knows no bounds
Coming clear beneath the clouds
Destination here and now
I behold travellin' light
Shimmering, travelling by
Magical waves under the sky
She knows no time, she knows no bounds
Waves of light are travelling
Cloak of night unravelling
I believe in travellin' light
Shimmering, travellin' light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, glistening, I'll see her tomorrow night
Waiting for my travellin' light (x2)
13.Stop, Look And Listen
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
I finally gave myself the time to see you
I finally gave myself the time to see you
I finally gave myself the time to see you for a while
If only we could see past the veneer we'd see another side of
you
Simone said she would think about not seeing me
Simone said she would think about not seeing me
Simone said she would think about not seeing me for a while
I hung around with her for forty days and forty nights, it was a
wilderness
If only you would stop, look and listen
If only you would stop, look and listen
If only you would stop, look and listen you'd be fine
But being deaf and being blind just seems to be the way you
spend your time
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Your words are true and all I do is dream
Spent summer in the city of my childhood
Spent summer in the city of my childhood
Spent summer in the city of my childhood for old times
But there's no going back for me, the faces had all changed I
was a stranger
He made the same mistake 'til he got wiser
He made the same mistake 'til he got wiser
By then it was too late and he despised her, what a crime
If he was cruel to be kind, he would've saved the trouble and
the time
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Your words are true and all I do
Think of you, your words are true and all I do
Think of you, your words are true and all I do is dream
I live alone the silence it can make you
I live alone the silence it can take you
I live alone the silence it can break you after a while
Not long ago I made a deal, the ghosts around the house all seem
to like me
My life is falling down I am surrounded
My life is falling down I am confounded
My life is falling down I am dumbfounded, what a mess
I lay back silent as a cat and let you work your mysteries of
healing
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Your words are true and all I do
Think of you, your words are true and all I do
Think of you, your words are true and all I do is dream

Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
I'm sick, and I've felt this way for some time now
I'm so fed up with the daily grind
I'm trying to find relief
If you feel this way then clap your hands
Ever thought this was a backward land？
What is making people mean？
A bad scene
Now that I've got my motives straight and I am thinking clearly
I'll sneak up to your window with my senses open wide
I'm tired, on my shoulders weighing heavily
Is the full responsibility for your troubles and your charms
Your betrayal goes around with me
Like the sword in some old tragedy
It is sticking in my back
People laugh
Now that I've got my motives straight and I am thinking clearly
I'll sneak up to your window with my senses open wide
I never really thought it would be like this
I know it's kind of hard but I'm glad that it is
I'm glad
Now that I've got my motives straight and I am thinking clearly
I'll sneak up to your window with my senses open wide
I never really thought it would be like this
I know it's kind of hard but I'm glad that it is
I'm glad
16.Blue Eyes Of A Millionaire
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
Shyness hanging like a wendy
Bad clothes keep you in the village hall
Sunday nothing for the rest of us
Sunday listen to your spirits soar
Thank you thank you for the holiday
We talk sometimes in a quiet world
Three years taking all the scenery
Black walls cloudy as a sea of gulls
Let the summer go
Let tomorrow take care of itself
If you believe like you tell me so
Hand in hand your lover will be every sweet and hungry soul
Stage scope falling like a summer end
Trees strip wrap yourself in color brown
Sun dips underneath the capricorn
Bell rings summer need to feeling warm
Mornings must have thought about you
All night reach out with a single call
Not my place to be your confidante
I just thought I'd catch you as you fall
Let the summer go
Let tomorrow take care of itself
If you believe like you tell me so
Hand in hand your lover will be every sweet and hungry soul
Goodness glowing like a firefly
Cheap bones blue eyes of a millionaire
17.Mr Richard
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
Saw a suit in Daddy's wardrobe, I took a swipe
Lapels, size of islands, gangster white line pinstripe
Laughed off the street in the name of my rock'n'roll
Still a caterwauling groove will start off vacation
Eighties plastic Soul don't give palpatation
Richie, he no like, he call out the firing squad
ba ba ba...
Richie look for suede, me I look for leather
Sartorially we groove, occasional disaster
For tight black canvas no make for a straight legged sixties
scenester
Then we hit the street with poise of commando
Clothes, guitar but arsenal missing one thing
Exotic Glasgow chick, they call her the 'Carmen Veranda'
ba ba ba...
Me and Richie dream to be like Mr Richard
Strung-out and？secure yes we make like junkie
Hooked up on that stuff they call it the Rock'n'roll
I need to consecrate, I need consecration
Clipped and soulful guitar riffing out the nation
The nation in my head, the national sixties sensation
ba ba ba....
18.Meat And Potatoes
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
My baby came to me lately
'Honey, please don't take this bad, but maybe
When you laid me
Could we try to spice it up？'
I looked across the table
First to see if she was joking
No joke
There was no flicker
Just a girl who wanted more
Than meat and potatoes
She may stop at whips and chains
She needs carousal
More arousal
A bit of pain
So we started by using handcuffs
We tried a can of cold whipped cream
I was allergic to so much dairy
She had to finish it all by herself
Then I slapped her
She wasn't expecting
So she hit me back
She friggin' cracked me
I got a nose bleed
She was angry
She wanted more
Than mean and potatoes
She may stop at pumps and drains!
She needs carousal
More arousal
A bit of pain
Invite the neighbours
Or total strangers
Give yourself a leg up, honey
Wear 'The Queen' mask
Put on the French basque
It's full of handy holes
If we're going to use them all
We're going to need more than
Meat and potatoes!
She may draw the line at dolls and freaks
She needs some abusing
Some amusement
To get through the week
'I know you respect me
You won't reject me
And the arrow of our love is straight and true'
19.The Life Pursuit
Writer(s)：Bob KildeaChris GeddesMick CookeRichard ColburnSarah
MartinStevie JacksonStuart Murdoch
What do you do when hope is all but gone？
You need a brother to lean on
But your brother's gone
Your sister's in the wrong part of town
I took a walk to remember ecstasy
It's not today, not even yesterday
Songs of praise all very well
Their voices swell
They tug at sadness
Like love tugging at your sleeve
Is it worth the pain
To walk into the void again？
In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light
Light that's found beyond your present situation
And it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimation
Is your belly fat, is your man a twat？
Do in-growing hairs provide you with strange fascination？
The highlight of your day is plucking all the roots away
You took a walk to remember ecstasy
It's not today, not even yesterday
In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light
The smallest of sparks
He's a tinderbox, he's a flaming torch
Pinch your self quite hard, in a place that hurts
If it doesn't work, ask your friend to comply
And if they hit the spot
You can let yourself cry
And when the teardrops stop, I will take you for a drive
I'll explain all I know about the spiritual side
Life that's found beyond your present situation
And it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimation
