1.Play
I like to play
I play all day long in my room
I like to play
2.Foundations
Thursday night, everything's fine,
except you've got that look in your eye
when i'm tellin' a story and you find it boring,
you're thinking of something to say.
You'll go along with it then drop it
and humiliate me in front of our friends.
Then i'll use that voice that you find annoyin'
and say something like
'yeah, intelligant input, darlin',
why don't you just have another beer then？'
Then you'll call me a bitch
and everyone we're with will be ebarrased,
and i wont give a shit.
My finger tips are holding onto
the cracks in our foundation,
and i know that i should let go,
but i can't.
And everytime we fight i know it's not right,
everytime that you're upset and i smile.
i know i should forget, but i can't.
You said I must eat so many lemons
'cause i am so bitter.
I said
'i'd rather be with your friends mate
'cause they are much fitter.'
Yes, it was childish and you got agressive,
and i must admit that i was a bit scared,
but it gives me thrills to wind you up.
My finger tips are holding onto
the cracks in our foundation,
and i know that i should let go,
but i can't.
And everytime we fight i know it's not right,
everytime that you're upset and i smile.
i know i should forget, but i can't.
Your face is pasty
'cause you've gone and got so wasted, what a surprise.
Don't want to look at your face
'cause it's makin' me sick.
You've gone and got sick on my trainers,
I only got these yesterday.
Oh, my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this.
Well, i'll leave you there 'til the mornin',
and i purposely wont turn the heating on
and dear God, i hope i'm not stuck with this one.
My finger tips are holding onto
the cracks in our foundation,
and i know that i should let go,
but i can't.
And everytime we fight i know it's not right,
everytime that you're upset and i smile.
i know i should forget, but i can't.
And everytime we fight i know it's not right,
everytime that you're upset and i smile.
i know i should forget, but i can't.
And everytime we fight i know it's not right,
everytime that you're upset and i smile.
i know i should forget, but i can't.
3.Mouthwash
This is my face, covered in freckles
with an occasional spot and some veins.
This is my body, covered in skin,
and not all of it you can see
And, this, is my mind,
it goes over and over the same old lines
And, this, is my brain,
it's torturous analytical thoughts make me go insane
And I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I've got a family
And I drink cups of tea
I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places
And I'm singing uh oh on a friday night
And I'm singing uh oh on a friday night
And I'm singing uh oh on a friday night
and I hope everything's gonna be alright
And I'm singing uh oh on a friday night
and I hope everything's gonna be alright
This is my face, I've got a thousand opinions
and not the time to explain
And this is my body,
and no matter how you try and disable it,
I'll still be here
And, this, is my mind,
and although you try to infringe you cannot confine
And, this, is my brain,
and even if you try and hold me back
there's nothing that you can gain
Because I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I've got a family
And I drink cups of tea
I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places
And I'm singing uh oh on a friday night
And I'm singing uh oh on a friday night
And I'm singing uh oh on a friday night
and I hope everything's gonna be alright
And I'm singing uh oh on a friday night
and I hope everything's gonna be alright

Stop being a dickhead

You're just fucking up situations
Why you being a dickhead for？
Stop being a dickhead
Why you being a dickhead for？

Shiny floor, slippery feet
Lights are dim, my eyes can't meet
The reflection that turns my images
Upside down so I can't see
Think you know everything
You really don't know nothing
I wish that you were more intelligent
So you could see that what you are doing is
So shitty, to me
Thirty five,
People couldn't count,
On two hands the amount of times you made me stop,
Stop and think why are you being such a dickhead for？
Stop being a dickhead,
Why you being a dickhead for？
You're just fucking up situations,
Why you being a dickhead for？
Stop being a dickhead,

You're just fucking up situations
5.Birds
She was waiting at the station
He was getting off the train
He didnt have a ticket
so he had to bum through the barriers again.
Well the ticket inspector saw him rushing through
He said 'girl you don't know how much I missed you but
We'd better run
cos' I havent got the funds to pay this fine.'
She said 'fine.'
Well so they ran out of the station
and jumped onto a bus
With two of yesterdays travel cards
and two bottles of Bud,
And he said 'you look well nice.'
Well she was wearing a skirt
And he thought she looked nice
And yeah, she didnt really care about anything else
Because she only wanted him to think that she looked nice,
And he did.
But he was looking at her, yeah all funny in the eye.
She said 'come on boy tell me what your thinking,
Now dont be shy.'
He said alright, 'I'll try.
All the stars up in the sky
and the leaves in the trees,
All the broken bits that make you jump up
and grassy bits in between.
All the matter in the world is how much I like you.'
She said 'what？'
He said 'let me try and explain again.
'Right, birds can fly so high,
and they can shit on your head,
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye
and make you feel so scared.
But when you look at them,
and you see that they're beautiful,
That's how i feel about you.
Right birds can fly so high
and they can shit on your head,
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye
and make you feel so scared.
But when you look at them,
and you see that they're beautiful,
That's how i feel about you.
Yeah thats how i feel about you.'
She said 'what？'
He said 'you.'
She said 'what are you talking about？'
He said 'you. '
Right birds can fly so high
and they can shit on your head
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye
and make you feel so scared.
But when you look at them,
and you see that they're beautiful,
That's how i feel about you.

and make you feel so scared.
But when you look at them,
and you see that they're beautiful,
That's how i feel about you.
Right, thats how i feel about you.
She said 'thanks, I like you too.'
He said 'cool.'
6.We Get On
Simply knowing you exist ain't good enough for me
But asking for your telephone number
Seems highly inappropriate
Seeing, as, I, can't,
Even say hi,
When you walk by
And that time you shook my hand it felt so nice
I swear I never feel this way about any other guy
And I don't usually notice people's eyes but...
I conducted a plan to bump into you most accidentally
But I was walking along and I bumped into you
Much more heavily than I'd originally planned
It was well embarrassing
and I think you thought that I was a bit of a twat...
I just think that we'd get on
Oh I wish I could tell you face to face
Instead of singing this stupid song
But yeah I just think that we might get on
So I went to that party and everyone
They were kind of arty
And I was wearing this dress
Because I wanted to impress
But I wasn't sure if I looked my best
'cause I was so nervous
But I carried on regardless
Strutting through each room trying to find you
And when I saw you kissing that girl
My heart it shattered
And my eyes, they watered
And when I tried to speak I stuttered
And my friends were like whatever
You'll find someone better
His eyes were way too close together
And we never even liked him from the start
And now he's with that tart
And I heard she done some really nasty stuff
Down in the park with Michael
He said she's easy
And if your guy's with someone that's sleazy
Then he ain't worth your time
cause you deserve a real nice guy
So I proceeded to get drunk and to cry
And lock myself in the toilets for the entire night
Saturday night I watched channel five
I particularly liked CSI
I don't ever dream about you and me
I don't ever make up stuff about us
that would be considered insanity
I don't ever drive by your house to see if you're in
I don't even have an opinion on that tramp
that you're still seeing
I don't know your timetable
I don't know your face off by heart
But I must admit that there's a part of me
That thinks we might get on
that we could get on
that we should get on
7.Mariella
I'm heavy handed, to say the least.
My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher
'cus I spill things from stiring them too quickly.
I'm far too loud.
Its like, as soon as I've got an opinion,
it just has to come out.
I laugh at stupid things just cus they tickle me.
And sometimes, sometimes, I wish I was like Mariella,
she got some pritt stick and glued her lips together.
So she never had to speak,
never had to speak, never had to speak.
People used to say shes as quiet as a mouse,
she just doesn't make a peep.
She marched to her wardrobe and threw away the colour,
because wearing black looks mysterious,
but it didn't impress her mother.
She wanted to dress her baby in patterns and flowers,
but Mariella just crossed her arms
and so she cried for hours.
Mariella.
Mariella.
My pretty, baby girl
Unglue your lips from being together
and wear some pink and pearls.
You can have your friends 'round
and they can stay for tea.
Won't you just try to fit in please, do this for me.
But Mariella just crossed her arms
and walked up the stairs
and she went into her bedroom,
and she sat on her bed.
And she looked in the mirror and she thought to herself
'If I wanna play, I can play with me,
If I wanna think, I'll think in my head.
At school, Mariella didn't have many friends,
yeah, the girls there, they looked at her
and thought she was quite strange.
Boys aren't really into girls at that age.
And the teachers, they thought
Mariella was just going through a phase.
But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road
because she knew all the secrets in her world.
yeah, she always got the crossword puzzle right every day
and she could do the alphabet backwards,
without making any mistakes.
Mariella.
Mariella.
Pretty, pretty girl.
Mariella.
Mariella.
Happy in her own little world
Happy in her own little world
And she says 'I'm never ever ever ever....,
yeah, I'm never ever ever ever...,
yeah, I'm never ever ever ever...
gonna unglue my lips from being together.'
She said 'I'm never ever ever ever...,
yeah, I'm never ever ever ever...,
gonna unglue my lips from being together.'
8.Shit Song
It is like I'm always thinking to myself
I'd like to meet someone else
It is like I'm always thinking to myself
I'd like to meet someone else
Darling, don't give me shit
'Cause I know that your full of it
You're full of shit, you're full of shit
Darling, don't give me shit
'Cause I know that you're full of it
I'm sitting with my friends getting drunk again
On wine and I think about you
I'm sitting with my friends getting drunk again
On wine and I think about you
You don't have to think about yourself all the time
You're full of shit
You know you don't
No you don't have to be so up yourself all the time
You could come round mine
We could drink some wine
In the summertime
It could be quite nice
You could come round mine
We could drink some wine
In the summertime
It could be quite nice
Actually
I think I might just have the bottle to myself...
Darling, don't give me shit
'Cause I know that you're full of it
You're full of shit, you're full of shit
Darling, don't give me shit
'Cause I know that you're full of it
You're full of it, you're full of it
Darling, don't give me shit
'Cause I know that you're full of it
Yeah I know that you're full of it
Darling, don't give me shit
'Cause I know that you're full of it
Yeah I know that you're full of it
You could come round mine
We could drink some wine
In the summertime
It could be quite nice
You could come round mine
We could drink some wine
In the summertime
It could be quite nice
9.Pumpkin Soup
You chatting to me like we connect
But I don't even know if we're still friends
It's so confusing
Understanding you is making me not want to do
The things that I know I should do
But I trip fast and then I lose
And I hate looking like a fool
I just want your kiss, boy
I just want your kiss
I just want your kiss, boy
I just want your kiss
The lights are on and someone's home
But I'm not sure if they're alone
There's someone else inside my head
Living there to fill me with dread
Thr paranoia is distressing
And I spend most of my nights guessing
Are we not, are we together？
Will this make our lives much better？
I'm not in love
I just wanna be touched...
I just want your kiss, boy
I just want your kiss
I just want your kiss, boy
I just want your kiss
Whoops, I think I got too close
'Cause now he's telling me I'm the girl he likes most
Now I've messed up, it's not the first time
I'm not saying you're not on my mind
I hope that you don't think I'm unkind
I just want your kiss, boy
I just want your kiss
I just want your kiss, boy
I just want your kiss
I just want your kiss, boy
I just want your kiss
I just want your kiss, boy
I just want your kiss
10.Skeleton Song
Skeleton, you are my friend
But you are made of bone
And you have got no flesh and blood running through you
To help you protect the bone
Yes, Skeleton, we have been friends for years
And you have seen me through some trials
and tribulations and some tears
But everybody thinks I'm weird
And I should have known
That it wouldn't be long until you
You've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I don't know what to do
Skeleton, we are so close
But you have got no body
So why do you insist on wearing clothes？
Skeleton, when we were young it was easier
Even though the other kids, they would tease me
I was only seven I had you, but now I'm 22
And now it's different
When I take you out and you
You've got me standing in an awkward postition
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I don't know what to do
And sometimes, at night
I dream of the most terrible things
I take a hammer and I creep out of bed
And I raise it high, and I smash your head
Fibular and tibular and ribs and cages, too
In fact, while I'm here,
I'll smash the whole of you
But...Skeleton, you are my friend
And I could never bring your life to an end
Yes, Skeleton, you are my friend
And I will be there for you until the end
And even though when I take you out you've got me
You've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
I could never let you go
And that is all I know...
11.The Nicest Thing
All I know is that you're so nice,
You're the nicest thing I've seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.
I wish I was your favourite girl,
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world.
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile,
I wish the way that I dressed
was your favourite kind of style.
I wish you couldn't figure me out,
But you always wanna know what I was about.
I wish you'd hold my hand when I was upset,
I wish you'd never forget the look on my face
when we first met.
I wish you had a favourite beauty spot
that you loved secretly,
'Cos it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see.
Basically, I wish that you loved me,
I wish that you needed me,
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars,
actually I meant three.
I wish that without me your heart would break,
I wish that without me
you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake.
I wish that without me you couldn't eat,
I wish I was the last thing on your mind
before you went to sleep.
Look, All I know is that
you're the nicest thing I've ever seen;
I wish that we could see if we could be something.
Yeah I wish that we could see if we could be something.
12.Merry Happy
Watching me like you never watch no one
Don't tell me that you didn't try and check out my bum
Cause I know that you did
Cause your friend told me that you liked it
Gave me those pearls and I thought they were ugly
Though you try to tell me that you never loved me
I know that you did
Cause you said it and you wrote it down

13.Little Red
Everybody took everything that they could
And they made a little town out of stones and out of wood,
And they made a little king out of plastercine,
And they threw the rules away but they kept the wisdom in.
And all the birds and the bees lived so peacefully
And all of the babies they slept so gently until...
Little Red, Little Red, Little Red, Little Red,
Little Red, Little Red, Little Red, Little Red.
Little Red, Little Red, Little Red, Little Red,
Little, Little Red came knocking.
Little garden, how do I make your flowers grow,
When I already do everything that I know？
I bring you sunshine and I bring you rain
but still you refrain.
All the other gardens are so full of flowers.
They're so colouful, yeah, I spend all these hours
Trying to make you as beautful as them
but sti-i-i-il you refrain.
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock,
knock, knock, knock, knock, scratch.
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock,

And a knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock,
knock, knock, knock, knock, scra-a-a-atch.
Little girl, why are you crying,
Just because the flowers in your garden are dying？
There's so much that you could be doing,
And all of your neighbours,
Well, they haven't got a clue.
Come on with me and we'll have a little bit fun,
It's not too dangerous, yeah, and we won't hurt anyone.
Yeah, we'll cause some havoc between the birds and the bees,
We'll paint the town red and we'll shake the trees.
Oh, come on with me and I'll show you a good time,
All you have to do is a jump and a climb.
Yeah, I'll take you over to the other side of town.
There's so much to do there and everybody wheres a crown.
Should I go or should I stay？
My flowers are dying and I'm sick and tired anyway.
This boy seems kind of cool,
His jeans are kind of low,
Well, I think I'll go.
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump,
jump, jump, jump, jump climb.
And a jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump,
jump, jump, jump, jump climb.
And a jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump,
jump, jump, jump, jump climb.
And a jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump,
jump, jump, jump, jump climb.
Oh let's pack a picnic and then go for a drive.
We'll go to a funfair and go on all the rides.
We'll climb up a mountain and take in all the sites.
We'll jump in a plane and fly.
If you want you can come back to mine.
We'll drink some coffee and you can spend the night.
We'll do anything that makes you smile
'Cause your smile is beautiful and it makes me happy.
'Cause your smile is beautiful and it makes me happy.
Well, this little girl grew up and moved away.
And she lived her life full of risk and full of play.
And she lived her life with so much to say,
And her flowers, they grow more beautiful every day.
