Love Bites

The Buzzcocks Love Bites Lyrics
1.Real World

I'm in love with the real world
It's mutual or so it seems
'cos only in the real world
Do things happen like they do in my dreams
Some of the rules may be different
But maybe they'll stay the same
In the real world
In the real world
In the real world
We both win when we play the same game

I'm in love with somebody
I wish somebody loved me too
You may wonder how this concerns you
Well perhaps the somebody is you
I don't even know what your name is
But i just hope that you'll stay
In the real world
In the real world
In the real world
Things happen this way

I'm in love with somebody
I wish somebody loved me too
You may wonder how this concerns you
Well perhaps the somebody is you
I don't even know what your name is
But i just hope that you'll stay
In the real world
In the real world
In the real world
We both win when we play the same game
In the real world
In a real world
In a real world
By the way what's your name


2.Ever Fallen In Love With Someone(You Shouldn't've Fallen In Love
With)

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And i'm hurt
And if i start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame
What a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And i'm hurt
And if i start a commotion
I'll only end up losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with
Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with


3.Operator's Manual

Operator's manual
Tells me what to do
When emotions blow a fuse
Indicating blue

Operator's manual
Tells me what to find
And how to make adjustments when
You tamper with my mind

Oh operator's manual
I'd just fall apart without you
If only i had a mechanic
Then somehow i know i'd pull through

Operator's manual
On page sixty-three
Tells me what to do when you
Do these things to me

Oh operator's manual
I'd just fall apart without you
If only i had a mechanic
Then somehow i know i'd pull through

Operator's manual
Tells me what to do
When emotions blow a fuse
And i'm feeling blue

Operator's manual
On page sixty-three
Tells me what to do when you
Do these things to me

Oh operator's manual
I'd just fall apart without you
If only i had a mechanic
Then somehow i know i'd pull through


4.Nostalgia

I bet that you love me like i love you
But i should know that gambling just don't pay
So i look up to the sky
And i wonder what it'll be like in days gone by
As i sit and bathe in the wave of nostalgia for an age yet to
come

I always used to dream of the past
But like they say yesterday never comes
Sometimes there's a song in my brain
And i feel that my heart knows the refrain
I guess it's just the music that brings on nostalgia for an age
yet to come

Ah nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come

About the future i only can reminisce
For what i've had is what i'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And i'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come

I look i only see what i don't know
All that was strong invincible is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And i feel like i'm trapped in the middle of time
With this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come

Ah nostalgia for an age yet to come

About the future i only can reminisce
For what i've had is what i'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And i'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come

I look i only see what i don't know
All that was strong invincible is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And i feel like i'm caught in the middle of time
And this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come

Ah nostalgia for an age yet to come

Nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come


5.Just Lust


6.16 Again

Feeling like i'm almost sixteen again
Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten
Just like i was sixteen again

Everybody gets the lowdown right from the start
Everybody gets the showdown right from the heart
But that's all that's on the menu and life's a la carte
I don't know

Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy it'll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you can't think once then don't think twice
Cos things won't seem so nice
You'll wish you were sixteen again
Oh no

Feeling rather strange when you're sixteen again
Things don't seem the same the past is so plain
This future is our future this time's not a game
This time you're sixteen again

Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself would i be someone else
But after all life's only death's recompense
I don't know

Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy it'll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you can't think once then don't think twice
Cos things won't seem so nice
You'll wish you were sixteen again
Oh no


Look at me here i am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of what you recognize
I know i never will feel quite like you
And i know you won't treat me right till i do
But at least we'll know it's true
That we're sixteen again
Oh no

Feeling rather strange when you're sixteen again
Things don't seem the same the past is so plain
This future is our future this time's not a game
This time you're sixteen again

Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself would i be someone else
But after all life's only death's recompense
I don't know

Look at me here i am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of love's suicide
I know i never will feel quite like you
And i know you won't treat me right till i do
But at least we'll know it's true
That we're sixteen again
Oh no

Sixteen again
Sixteen again

8.Love Is Lies


9.Nothing Left

I'm on my own now
You've gone and left me
I bet you don't know
How you've upset me

'cos i've nothing left at all
At all at all at all at all at all at all at all
I've nothing left at all

Did you love me
I'd like to think so
But i was blameless
So why did you go

'cos i've nothing left at all
At all at all at all at all at all at all at all
I've nothing left at all

I've lost a lover
And i am certain
I'll get another
So why'm i hurtin'

'cos i've nothing left at all
At all at all at all at all at all at all at all
I've nothing left at all

'cos i've nothing left at all
At all at all at all at all at all at all at all
I've nothing left at all


10.E.s.p

Do you believe in esp
I do and i'm try'n'a get through to you
If you're picking up off me
Then you know just what to do
Think

Brainwaves transmitted from my mind
Of a magnetic kind
I don't know what to do
If i can't get through to you
So think

Do you believe in esp
I've been try'n'a get through to you
If you've been picking up off me
Then you'll know just what to do
Don't you
