The Athlete Vehicles&Animals Lyrics
1.El Salvador

It's time to tear this place down
i've got the last gig on my mind
not seen my friends in ages
have i been left behind?

it's time to figure out why
i find myself in custody
with each and every question
words come so easily

fly to el salvador
i don't know why and i don't know what for
i've seen the picture for myself
where did that label go?
i tried it out but it didn't work so
i'll choose the picture for myself

it's time to start all over
take only one thing spare to wear
head for the check-in lights and get up into the air
it's time to take new measures
someone will put us up tonight
far from our place of rest
i've almost got you in sight

fly to el salvador
i don't know why and i don't know what for
i've seen the picture for myself
where did that label go?
i tried it out but it didn't work so
i'll choose the picture for myself

first class and big hotels
videos and global sales
free drinks that you pay yourself

fly to el salvador
i don't know why and i don't know what for
i've seen the picture for myself
where did that label go?
i tried it out but it didn't work so
i'll choose the picture for myself


2.Westside

All the energetic people they all sparkle as they're walking
down the street
can't see their faces but i've noticed they seem to have big
hands the stage is set, is the glamour, who's got my etnies?
now you know that i can see you and you know that it is easy
to see me something has been on my mind, something has struck me
kind of odd, look out for quicksand, there is high ground
who wants this rockscene?

we sing
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rockscene
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rockscene

now the time has come and yeah the show it must stay strong
and are we all part of the latest craze or is this how we mend
our ways
i can hear the taxi calling, telling me we haven't left yet.
as the lights go on we're out tonight somehow you seem to stand
out
in a crowd you raise the tempo in the disco as you make this
place your own
the stage is set, is the glamour i'm in this rockscene

chorus!
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rock scene
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rock scene
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rock scene
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rock scene

house on the rock
surely it will last forever?
house on the rock
don't you know it's now or never?
house on the rock
surely it will last forever?
house on the rock

chorus!
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rock scene
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rock scene
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rock scene
whenever you look you can see that everybody wants to be part of
the rock scene


3.One Million

There was just one at the top of a pile of one million
and she hasn't got a clue that she's become
a good samaritan
i'm just her ? before i blink from the scene she'd run away
if i got the chance to meet her once again
what would i hear her say?
it was just one of those things i needed to deal with
it was just one of those things
it was just one of those things i needed to deal with

there was just one at the top of a pile of one million
and there's no way of counting all our loss
what was i thinking of?
as it kicks off i kept myself to myself and looked away
should've put my foot in but i just stayed
wrapped up in my own world

it was just one of those things i needed to deal with
it was just one of those things
it was just one of those things i needed to deal with

there was just one at the top of a pile of one million
and she will be there for many years to come
wondering where i am

it was just one of those things i needed to deal with
it was just one of those things
it was just one of those things that i should've dealt with
it was just one of those things

[this was just one of those things i needed to deal with
this was just one of those things
this was just one of those things i needed to deal with
this was just one of those things]

[this is just one of those things i needed to deal with
this is just one of those things]


4.Shake Those Windows

Lives in edinburgh
just across the road
sometimes my stereo and in my aching bones
its on the sugar hill and in your ringtone

shake those windows
songs and songs and beats and rums in life
this blackout it just helps to love those clear night skies

just let the record play and bring it back again
you can't appreciate what we were into then
in two seconds the beat was recognised
and all the old school heads nodded back in time
and though we just met i've known you all my life

shake those windows
songs and songs and beats and rums in life
this blackout it just helps to love those clear night skies

just let the record play and bring it back again
you can't appreciate what we were into then
just let the record play and bring it back again
you can't appreciate what we were into then

just let the record play and bring it back again
you can't appreciate what we were into then
just let the record play and bring it back again
you can't appreciate what we were into then

just let yourself go
just let yourself go
just let yourself go
just let yourself go

just let yourself go
just let yourself go
just let yourself go
just let yourself go


5.Beautiful

Bringing in the new sound
make it in, oh please make it in
oh i have been missing
fill me in, please fill me in

oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up
oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up

give me teeth that are golden
grown often to be
shine, shine that light
make it in, bring it in

oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up

oh-oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up

oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up

oh-oh this is beautiful
i've got to soak it up
i've got to soak it up


6.New Project

There's a house at the end of the road
it's got no windows and it's hard to see what is going on in
there
there's a man and he asks you what you want
he's got no reason but you feel like you can't just ignore what
he says
imagine he's all you've got
imagine he's all you've got
there's a house at the end of the road
it's got no windows and it's hard to make out what you just came
here for
catch the sun through the trees as you are walking
through the garden
you've just got to get in before they close the door

imagine he's all you've got
imagine he's all you've got

imagine this is all you have come across
imagine she's all you've got
imagine this is all you will ever have
imagine he's all you've got


7.You Got The Style

Oh no
gone and put my foot in it again
think back i can't believe that it was me who said that
last time
i promised i'd bite my tongue until i counted to ten
i said oh it's getting hot in here
must be something in the atmosphere
oh oh-oh oh oh

oh it's getting hot in here
there must be something in the atmosphere
oh i could be laughing about it
and making the most of the true british climate
oh it's getting hot in here
there must be something in the atmosphere
oh oh-oh oh oh

i've seen
the tension on the high street growing lately
it seems that you have to be careful who you look at
sometimes
i can't see things the way you see them
but this is our home

i said
oh it's getting hot in here
there must be something in the atmosphere
oh i could be laughing about it
and making the most of the true british climate
oh it's getting hot in here
there must be something in the atmosphere
oh oh-oh oh oh

yeah you got the style
and we've got the style
and they got the style
and everybody's got it

and you got the style
and we've got the style
and they got the style
and everybody's got it

and you got the style
and we've got the style
oh oh

oh it's getting hot in here
there must be something in the atmosphere
oh i could be laughing about it
and making the most of the true british climate
oh it's getting hot in here
there must be something in the atmosphere
oh oh-oh oh oh


8.Vehicles & Animals

It's the simple things like the robots stevie g draws
and the ease with which we seem to pull those tricks
there are moments of escape for every one of us
and the beauty in the times that we create
i saw you smiling
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy nine so i can find my open eyes
he can play all by himself for many hours
i have never seen a kid who's so content
there is nothing from the outside that can touch him
cos he's just learning how to be alone with one
i saw you smiling
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy nine so i can find my open eyes
and i need my vehicles and animals
and i will be alright
take me back to nineteen seventy nine so i can find my open eyes

lying down on my bed
i just got another kick to the head
oh yeah you're a part of me
yet another branch on the family tree
salt on my fingers salt in my cuts
salt on my face and salt in my guts
it's been a battle but we've come through ok
stop what you're doing and play

cos we've got our vehicles and animals so
we're gonna be alright
there's no need for us to go back in time
because we've found our open eyes

we've got our vehicles and animals
so we're gonna be alright
there's no need for us to go back in time
because we've found our open eyes


9.Out Of Nowhere

seven out a twenty one knocked down now only fourteen left to go
i didn't know that i was next in line but it is not as if i had
much time
jet black all around me voices calling saying please don't go
away
last thing i remember drifting down this tunnel was bright light
ahead

out of nowhere it came and hit me on the head
out of nowhere
i saw it over there before it hit you on the head
i saw it over there

ahead

then
when i came around somebody helped me to my feet and said i
can't believe you're still alive
i seen twenty other people in the last half an hour who've been
hit right between the eyes
it seems that somebody somewhere's on a mission to protect ya
cos there's no way that you should've survived

out of nowhere it came and hit me on the head
out of nowhere

10.Dungeness

I found a rope and a rubber glove

them together

smiles instead
smiles instead
smiles instead
