I Think We're

The BPA I Think We're Lyrics
1.He's Frank


He's got secular joy
He's a peculiar boy
But now the lustre has gone
The peculiar boy is no more

Who'll save him from being a man
Not me

He's got precious youth
But forsaken, forsooth
And now the shine grows dim
Change tradition for whim

Who'll save him from being a man
Not me

He's got clothes all red
All on a purple bed
But now the red's in his eyes
He's no longer a prize

Who'll save him from being a man
Not me

He's a peculiar boy
Yes, he's a peculiar boy
But now his skin is slack
He shows a certain lack

Who'll save him from being a man
Not me


2.Dirty Sheets

And all the things you see will make you fall
It's gonna make you leak beneath the sheets and all we fall
And I'll believe the sights I see when I believe the fall
It's gonna fall beneath the sheet that I will in my fall
And everything you say I won't believe, I'll say goodbye
He's gonna walk away and not believe a word you say

I'm gonna get you down
I'm gonna get you down

And I'll believe in everything you say
I'm gonna get my way with you, you just believe my fate
And I'll believe the dream, we dream, we dream, we dream
together
And I'll believe the things you say when you believe my fate

I'm gonna get you down
I'm gonna get you down

I know the things that you will say
You're gonna get my way 'cause all the things that you will play
We're gonna play together and the things we are to flay
We're gonna right down to things, believe me when I say

I'm gonna get you down
You down

And all the things you see will make you fall
It's gonna make you leak beneath the sheets and all we fall
I'm gonna get you down


3.Jumps The Fence

Ruffle my feathers, I meeting with Miss
This is the story of Tom, peeping his tom's favourite thing
One day, went flying back home
What's that outside on the wing?
Then safely back home for tea

Make port on ram
Sheperd's pie with some chips fried
Nice meal Mum but what is that
Fried-
Mum, just heard some rustling outside
Watch out it's duck, and it's cold flesh the torch
Make port on ram
Ten jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence

Oh dear, oh dear
Forgotten your name, pretend I know their just the same
Or blame it on my forgetful brain
Pull up your leggings and your memories will be born
Your memories will be born
We're good and we're tight, the three of us never fight
Turning heads and turning nods, it looks like it come from out
of space
It looks like you've come from out of space
It jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad

It jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
It jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
It jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
It jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
It jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
It jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
It jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
It jumps the fence like a toad
Jumps the fence like a toad
It jumps the fence like a toad
It jumps the fence


4.Should I Stay Or Should I Blow

You got me shook up, once again
On the outside, I'm your friend
On the inside, I count to ten
My crazy heart just cannot mend

And every day it's 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
And every night it's 'no, no, no'
(x2)

It's time to let me see
If what you're feeling just cannot be
I'm just too fast and you're so slow
Should I stay or should I blow

And every day it's 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
And every night it's 'no, no, no'
(x2)


And every day it's 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
And every night it's 'no, no, no'
(x4)


5.Island

The fire, light looks and glows and fades
It's burning on down to a flicker
And the smoking pyre that we made
It's the same old joke but much sicker

Can you send me a sign
Throw a flare in the air
And if it all falls apart will you say I'm just sentimental

Torches are smoking and I'm sinking
Is this the last boat sailing today
And if I beg you please will you carry me, will you carry me
And brush the grey old indecision away

Can you send me a sign
Throw a flare in the air
And if it all falls apart will you say I'm just sentimental

When the last love song is written, will it be ours
Will the melody just fade in the wind
And if I cut my ear, will you call me, will you call me
And guide my settled heart back home again

Can you send me a sign
And throw a flare in the air
And if it all falls apart will you say I'm just sentimental


6.Local Town

Girls staking and breaking phones
Never did go home
I don't know why I seem to defy
Anyone who wants me down
It's a crimson tide of bodily pride
That makes you fall down
It's the lustre living arseholes who always scream and shout

I stayed in a local town
Til the buildings fell down
The runaway bed was all I had
To remind me I'm running out

Got a call from the government, my question's to pay why at all
(?)
I was the last skivvy down hunting in the river bull
The lost and found, hound dogs round this town
They shove you dead body down in the up ground

I stayed in a local town
Til the buildings fell down
The runaway bed was all I had
To remind me I'm running out

Stayed in a local town
Stayed in a local town
Stayed in a local town
Stayed in a local town

The first to break is the love one shake
And no one ever came to town
Feeling the thoughts of everyone lost
And now they've fallen now

The first to break is the love one shake
And no one ever came to town
Feeling the thoughts of everyone lost
And now they've fallen now


7.Seattle

(Feat. Emmy The Great)

Everything you ever did
Everything you ever said
Everything while I forget
Everything it ever meant

Somewhere in a foreign bed
Somewhere in America
You wake a little different
Forget where you have been
Remember where you are

But I can see the sky falling like a wire holding up America
And you know you find a new day dawning
Every single morning in America

Take a step and move one check forward
Take a step and move one check forward

Everything you ever did
Everything you ever said
Everything while I forget
Everything it ever meant

Somewhere in a foreign bed
Somewhere in America
You wake a little different
Forget where you have been
Remember where you are

But I can see the blue sky falling like a wire holding up
America
And you know you find a new day dawning
Every single morning in America

But then again I've never seen the blue sky falling like a wire
holding up America
And you know you find a new day dawning
Every single morning in America

Take a step and move one check forward
Take a step and move one check forward
Take a step and move one check forward

But then again I've never seen the blue sky falling like a wire
holding up America
And you know you find a new day dawning
Every single morning in America

But then again I've never seen the blue sky falling like a wire
holding up America
And you know you find a new day dawning
Every single morning in America

Behind you
I find you
In everything
That I do


8.Spade

We met on an evening train
Between us was the same
I wil remember you clearly
As if you did not leave me

Don't hide the care need true loving tonight
Got nothing to do too
I wonder why you came back
All I know is your the same

Call estate escapes
Hollywood the place

Due changes you've come along with (?)
I can make you cry

I don't wanna feel pretty anymore
(?)
Should you be more (?)
Wanna be afraid

Call estate escapes
Hollywood the place

What went wrong

Call estate escapes
Hollywood the place


9.Superman

If I was good at this, I could fly you to the moon
And if I was good at this, we'd visit Mars too
And if I was good at this, I'd build the house of your dreams
But no, I'm not that good at this, it's just as hard for me

And if I was brilliant, I'd always know just how you are
And if I was so brilliant, I'd never go to far

If I was Superman
If I was Superman
If I was Superman
If I was Superman

If I was good at this, I could give you all you need
And if I was so good at this, you'd never need me to believe
And if I was good at this, no one would ever do you wrong
But no, I'm not that good at this, you'll always wait too long

But no I'm not that brilliant, I make the same mistakes as you
So when I'm not that brilliant, it's still the best I do

If I was Superman (If was your Superman, if I was your Superman)
If I was Superman (If was your Superman, if I was your Superman)
If I was Superman (If was your Superman, if I was your Superman)
If I was Superman (If was your Superman, your Superman, your
Superman)

If I was Superman (If was your Superman, if I was your Superman)
If I was Superman (If was your Superman, if I was your Superman)
If I was Superman (If was your Superman, if I was your Superman)
If I was Superman
(If was your Superman, your Superman, your super, your Superman)

If I...


10.Superlover

Lady turned the page
Sit yourself down
Keep on waiting for the special life
The morning sun she brings you up forgiveness
As you do the walk of shame
And even though you wait for absoulution
You know the penalty's the same

Superlover, superlover
Superlover, superlover
Superlover, superlover
Superlover, superlover

Lay down, lay down

Lady can't you see
The quiet of the night
At least there's something very special and right

Superlover, superlover
Superlover, superlover

I would never have found you
But you never found me
I would never have lost you
Baby can't you see

I would never have found you
But you never found me
I would never have loved you
Baby can't you see

What's done is done, you cannot change the mark
A single lie, breaks a simple heart

Superlover, superlover
Superlover, superlover
(Superlover, superlover)
(Superlover, superlover)

(I would never have found you)
(But you never found me)
(I would never have lost you)
(Baby can't you see)

(Lay down, lay down)
(Lay down, lay down)

(What's done is done, you cannot change the mark)
(A single lie, breaks a simple heart)

Superlover


11.Toe Jam

(Feat. David Byrne)

I was asked in New York City, do you like my clothes
I'm talking to my tape recorder, walking down the road
but on Friday night, I'm, purified that my feet don't touch the
floor
when the rubber meets the road, in between my toes

Everyday is fucking perfect, its a paradise
watch my life like its a movie, have to watch it twice
a boy looks at a girl, and a girl looks like a pony
she gallops all day long, in between my toes
and every night, she's purified, she don't do that dance no more
when the rubber meets the road, in between my toes

I'm skankin on the dance floor, I'm drunk off that hennessey
i ain't sober, i dont mix with coca cola, or soda
but right now im on a roller, i take a look over my shoulder
When i see that sexy thing, i think its time to work my way over
so i shuffle on my heals, and bounce on my toes
I'm crazy and she knows, still its all good i suppose
she picked a good place and she paked it up
I got behind her and i lapped it up
and we danced all night til the sun came up
then i took her to my yard then i racked it up

I'm a member of the ju ju nation
down in new Orleans
you don't need an application
if you move your feet

explode
if you poke it
exposed
on the floor
it grows
if you soak it
it rolls
out the door now

summer time, every night, now my feet don't touch the floor
she don't do that dance no more, in between my toes
him and you, you and I, I don't do that dance no more
when the rubber meets the road, in between my toes

the lady starts to sing, but she ain't no disco dancer
she learned to shake her thing, in between my toes

explodes
if you poke it
exposed
on the floor
it grows
if you soak it
it rolls
out the door

explodes
if you poke it
exposed
on the floor
it grows
if you soak it
it rolls
out the door


12.So It Goes

One night, the kid cut off his right arm
In a bid to save some power
He got fifty thousand watts
In a big acoustic tower
Security's so tight tonight
Oh we're waiting for a tussle
You've gotta keep those backstage passes
'Cause the promoter had the muscle

It goes, it goes, it goes, so it goes
But where it's goin', no one knows
It goes, it goes, it goes, so it goes
But where it's goin', no one knows

In the twin towers, sit our head of nations
Worthy men from Spain to Siam
All day discussions with the Russians
But they still went ahead and vetoed the plan
Up jumped the U.S. representative
He's the one with the tired eyes
747 for the midnight condition
Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission

It goes, it goes, it goes, so it goes
But where it's goin', no one knows
It goes, it goes, it goes, so it goes
But where it's goin', no one knows

In the air there's absolution, in the wake of a snaky Persian
On his arm there's a skin tight version
Wonder why she applies she's a-hissin'

It goes, it goes, it goes, so it goes
But where it's goin', no one knows
It goes, it goes, it goes, so it goes
But where it's goin', no one knows

I need my home
But where it's goin', no one knows
I need my home

But where it's goin', I don't know
