2.Only Love Can Break Your Heart

Transcribed by mark dorset

When you were young
And on
Your own,
How did it feel
To be
Alone?
I was always thinking,
Games that i was playing,
Trying to make the best of my time.

But only love
Can break
Your heart;
Try to be sure
Right from
The start.
Yes, only love
Can break
Your heart,
But if your world
Should fall
Apart...

I have a friend
I've nev- -er seen
He hides his head
Inside
A dream
Someone should call him
And see if he can come out,
Try to lose the gang that he's found.

But only love
Can break
Your heart;
Try to be sure
Right from
The start.
Yes, only love
Can break
Your heart,
But if your world
Should fall
Apart...

I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I was always thinking.

I was always thinking,
Games that i was playing.
I was always thinking,
Games that i was playing.
I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I - / i - / i - / i -
I was always thinking,
Games that i was playing.
I was always thinking,
Games that i was playing.
I was always thinking,
Games that i was playing.
I was always thinking,
Games that i was playing.

[this is a sample collage, with the same samples repeated many,
many times. but i can at least tell you what the individual bits
are...]

Would you like some sweets, willy? what would you like then?

Can i have, one of these, and one of these, and two of those,
please?

Come on, auntie, we'll miss the bus!

B.l.t. mr and mrs j a(?) summers.

Here's bertie(?)!

L.s.d.

It's the new money, you know.


4.Carnt Sleep

You know the hurt's
So deep
That i can't sleep or eat,
And what i'm hoping for
Is to feel your kisses sweet.
If we could just talk
Things might be a little more clear.
I really need the chance
To explain the way i feel.

I can't sleep (can't sleep),
Thinking of you constantly,
I can't sleep (can't sleep),
Wishing you were here with me.
I can't sleep (can't sleep
Where are you please(?))

When i get home from work,
Sit down and watch tv,
The night falls
Just like a bad dream.

I can't sleep (can't sleep),
Thinking of you constantly,
I can't sleep (can't sleep),
Wishing you were here with me.
I can't sleep (can't sleep
Where are you please(?))

I can't sleep (can't sleep),
Thinking of you constantly,
I can't sleep (can't sleep),
Wishing you were here with me.
I can't sleep (can't sleep
Where are you please(?))


5.Girl Vii

Transcribed by kevin hong, nicola and jonno.
Sorry about the question marks everywhere!

I'll run to you now
From somewhere you won't find me.
A different place,
A different time.
Together that summer
We raised some hell, yeah
But i couldn't forget
You're a kiss and tell.

a boyfriend...

6.Spring

Dry your eyes boy,
There's no need to despair.
Forget about yesterday and the bad times that you've had.
You've loved and lost, and now you're feeling so blue,
But can't you see it's me who really loves you?

With the love i've got you'll forget about her,
And find it easy
To live without her.

It's
Only springtime,
Oh, you're too young to say you're through with love.
It's
Only springtime,
And i'll be different boy,
I'll promise you
(i'll swear to you.)

Once more you tell me
About her new friend;
You say your heart's
Been broken again.
How many times
Have you looked into my eyes?
Don't you realise we're two of a kind?

With the love i've got you'll forget about her,
And find it easy
To live without her.

It's
Only springtime,
Oh, you're too young to say you're through with love.
It's
Only springtime,
And i'll be different,
I'll be different, i swear to you.

I've been watching
All you're love affairs;
Three years now -
Don't you think i care?
How many times
Have you looked into my eyes?
Don't you realise we're two of a kind?

It's
Only springtime,
You're too
Young to say you're through with love.
It's
Only springtime,
And i'll be different,
I'll be different, boy,
Yeah.
It's
Only springtime,
You're too young to say you're through with love,
Through with love.
It's
Only springtime,
I'll promise you,
I'll swear you,
Oh, i'll promise you.
It's
Only springtime,
Ooh ooh.
It's
Only springtime...


7.She's The One

She,
She's the one.
She,
She's the one.
She's the girl who thinks nothing of
Breaking up two people in love.


She,
She's the one.
She,
She's the one.
Saw her again last night,
I saw her with another guy.


She,
She's the one.
She,
She's the one.
In this world of ups and downs,
She's the one.


He kissed me,
He kissed me.
He hit me,
And it felt like a kiss


8.People Get Real

Get on the floor and look real sexy!

Saw you,
And when i saw you
I thought 'this is real,
This is real!'
Kissed you,
And when i kissed you,
I whispered 'forever,
Forever!'

I love the way,
I love the way you move
I love the way,
I love the way you move
Just lose yourself,
Lose yourself in circles of sound.

People get real,
People get real,
People get real!

Knowing
The way the way we are feeling
You told me that we'd turn clean,
??? we turned clean.
Talking,
Taking advantage.
The other side of your dreams
Of your dreams.

Don't tell me
This is precious!
Don't tell me
This is soulful!
Well you have to be,
Have to be kidding me on!

People get real,
People get real,
People get real!

So don't stop,
Don't stop believing,
No and don't stop,
Don't stop believing,
Just keep on, keep on, keep on believing it's here.

People get real,
People get real,
People get real!

12.London Belongs To Me

Took a tube to camden town,
Walked down park way, and settled down
In the shade of a willow tree,
Someone hovering over me

Close my eyes,
Breathe out slowly.
Today the sunshine (sunshine) loves me only

To the sound of the world of twist
You leant over, and gave me a kiss.
It's too warm to even hold hands,
But that won't stop us from making plans.

Close our eyes,
Breathe out slowly.
Today london (london) loves us only.

Do you ever wonder where we've been?
Do you ever wonder where we're going?
Just close your eyes.
Just close your eyes.
Just close your eyes (close your eyes),
And breathe out slowly (breath out slowly).
Tonight the world (the world) loves you only.

Just close your eyes.
Just close your eyes.
Just close your eyes.
Just close your eyes.


13.Kiss And Make Up

Without beforehand thinking,
Sometimes i say things.
I could never hate you.
I could never hate you.

I do not mean one
Word of what i say.
I don't hate you.
I don't, i do not.

Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.
Let's you and i
Kiss and make up.
Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.
Let's you and i
Kiss and make up.

Without beforehand thinking,
Sometimes i say things.
I could never hate you.
I could never hate you.

I do not mean one
Word of what i say.
I don't hate you.
I love you.

Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.

Kiss and make up.
Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.

Kiss and make up.

Let's kiss and make up,

Kiss and make up.

Kiss and make up.


14.Like The Swallow

She's like the swallow
That flies so high.
She's like the river
That never runs dry.
She's like the sunshine on the lea-shore,
I love my love, and love is no more.

It's out of roses
She made her bed.
A stolen pillow
For her head.
She's like the sunshine on the lea-shore,
I love my love, and love is no more.


15.Dilworth's Theme

Oh babe, i know you've gone.
I won't be sad alone
'cause the song that you left me
Has the sweetest refrain.

La, lalala
Lala lala.
Lala lala, lala lala,
Lala lala.
