1.Life In a Northern Town
Lyricist：Gilbert Gabriel, Nick Laird-clowes
A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day, all day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day
Pushing the town away, ah
Ah hey, ma ma ma
Life in a northern town
They sat on the stony ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down to listen
He said, 'In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles'
Ah hey, ma ma ma
Life in a northern town
Ah hey, ma ma ma
All the work shut down
The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain
As we followed him down to the station
And though he never would wave goodbye
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight, bye-bye
Ah hey, ma ma ma
Life in a northern town
Ah hey, ma ma ma
Life in a northern town
2.Bound To Be
Lyricist：G Gabriel, Nick Laird-clowes
Well I'm bound to tell you a story that just happened to me
Bound to break down and bound not to break even
I was feeling lonely like a soledad brother
You came into my life and loved me like a mother
I'm bound, caught up
Aha, was bound to be
Don't you know that？
Our love was bound to be
You go from A to B
It's just like falling out of trees
It's as easy as 1 2 3
You shone a light in my life that could light up Park Lane
I was feeling nervous 'cause I'd missed my gravy train
Now there's no need to keep on running with the pack
'Cause I know pretty soon I'll come running back
I'm bound, caught up
Aha, was bound to be
Don't you know that？
Our love was bound to be
You go from 1 to 3
It's just like air on a G string
Easy as A B C
Too much of nothing and it just won't pay the rent
Can't take insurance out on General Accident
Now there's no need to keep on running, on running
'Cause I know pretty soon that in the end I'll come running back
I'll come running back, running back, run, run, run
Come back, I'll come running back
Don't you know that？
Don't you know that？
Was bound to be, oh
Was bound to be
Don't you know, was bound to be, oh？
Come one now, come one now
3.One Dream
Lyricist：Nick Laird-clowes
There's one dream in my life
One that I love more
Then settle down, fool around
Games that only drag you down
So if you're blue and skies are gray
That's when I love more
The one dream in my life
The one dream that's in my life
The one dream in my life
That I live for
There's one story that I heard
About a man at war
With himself, he couldn't tell
Which side he was fighting for
So if your colors start to fade
That's when you reach out for
The one dream in your life
The one dream that's in your life
The one dream in your life
That matters more
I woke up to find life was just
Leading me on, that's all
Then I found out
That I could reach it all
By just holding that one dream in my life
Right before my eyes
The one dream in my life
The one dream that's in my life
The one dream in my life
That I live for, that's what your living for
One dream in my life
One dream in my life
4.The Edge of Forever
Lyricist：Gilbert Gabriel, Nick Laird Clowes
When you were young
Did you ever love somebody？
Like I love
I love you now
'Cos now that your's older
I see you don't mind
Letting go of my hand in a crowd
You don't wanna hold tight
And when we kissed one night
There's a million hearts
Beating in a row
I wish they go away
I'll say it again
There's a million hearts
It's the break to see
Every time you go away
When you were young
Did you ever fall down
Graze your knee
Want to run to someone
'Cos now that older
I've been falling down
I want to run to someone
But there's nobody around
I can feel the sign
There's a million hearts
Beating in my row
I wish they would go away
I'll say it again
There's a million hearts
It's the break to see
Every time you go away
Every time you go away
Think about the things I say
Think about it twice as long
Tell me what's going wrong
In the southern sky
The breeze is so wild
The bridge is so lonely
The reasons that life
Feeling so afraid
Talking about a, two hearts
Beating as one
Now hey
No
I'll say it again
There's a million hearts
Beating in a row
I wish they would go away
I'll say it again
There's a million hearts
It's the break to see
Every time you go away
5.The Party
Lyricist：Nick Laird-clowes
There's danger in the air, they walk around in pairs
Dancing to the Dansette
Well, God Almighty, don't forget
You came here with me
While Cinderella's getting hypnotized
By the Italian with gray, green eyes
I stand deliberately out of bounds
Winding you up just to bring you down to my level
So, I'm sitting in a corner with a knife in my back
Pretending not to notice that I'm under attack
When a positive lack of direction breaks 'pon my shoulders
You may dance with him all night long
Live your romance out in a popular song
But, baby, you're gonna miss me when the radio comes on
And they're playing my song, all night long
The boys are queuing up at every one night stand
To issue their final demands
The stand's telling them about this guy
And so they're standing with her
But they're keeping their eyes on some other girl
Me, I'm trying to hold it down
By thinking about the words to some other song
When I'm forced into making polite conversation
I open up the window to get some ventilation
Try to break away from the intellectual starvation
Meanwhile the taxis are calling and the angels are falling
Down into the garden of truth
Where two star crossed lovers cut across one another
And make their way home, one by one
He may fire imagination into your minds
And these strong personalities are hard to find
You messed up mine
We've got a good thing let's keep on trying
Baby, you're gonna miss me
When the radio comes 'round to my time
When the radio comes on, so long
When the radio comes on, you were gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
They're playing my song
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
6.In Places On The Run
Lyricist：Gilbert Alexande Gabriel, Nick Laird-clowes
All alone in bridge of silence
I suppose you shouldn't stay
All alone in dream's asylum
Don't you know we've come a long way
I suppose we were
Somewhere in the sun
We walked in colored fields
In places on the run
What a dream I had
Dressed in colored shawls
Though the night was so warm
And a nightingale
Sat on a castle wall
While the river ran on
Calling, hearing you call
The river ran on
Running
The river ran on
It felt as if we were
In places yet unknown
We walked through the bazaars
In places on the run
What a dream I had
Walking by the wall
Oh, the raiment and all
The stars flickered by
Soon to be replaced
If I asked them they'd fall
Calling, hearing you call
The river ran on
Running
The river ran on
What a dream I had
Dressed in colored shawls
Though the night was so warm
And in the darkness I
Tried to take your hand
But it was nothing at all
Nothing at all
The river ran on
Nothing at all
The river ran on
The river ran on
The river ran on
7.The Love Parade
Lyricist：G Gabriel, Nick Laird-clowes
Look out of your window on any day
From June to September the love parade's
Out on the street where you live and you know
It's just a matter of time before it takes over
They've been married for so many years
Now a young love serenade blows sweet nothing in her ear
They're lonely together, when they're not apart
It feels like she's holdin' on to someone else in the dark
The love parade is on
Even against all odds
It'll go on forever
The love parade
The love parade
Only matinee shows
The love parade
But if he could put himself into a different skin
He'd be worryin' about what he'd let himself in for
Hangin' in the air apparent
A point of view almost transparent
So you sold your soul for a pocket full of sweet talk
Given up kisses at the end of a slow walk
And when it's done you put your world back on
'Cause she's otherwise engaged married to someone
Oh the love parade goes on
Even when you're gone
It'll go on forever
The love parade
The love parade
Only matinee shows
The love parade
Everybody knows
The love parade
Married to someone
Married to someone oh
Everybody knows
Body everybody everybody every when
This is dedicated to the one our love
This is dedicated to the one our love
This is dedicated to the one our love
...
8.Moving On
Lyricist：Gilbert Gabriel, Nick Laird-clowes
'All out', cried the boy and put the girl in danger
Whose only weapon was to believe in love
All out but don't say forever too late for re-arrangement
He's already thinking of another face
And she's drawing on the memory she can't erase
They're moving on
Keep a moving it, yeah
They're moving on
We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time
We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time
We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time
Now the weight of intention carried the motion
And the damage was over done
And was started as a bid for independence
Has ended with a starting gun
And he's wishing that he never said, 'All out', oh yes, he does
But the words just get lost in space
And you know it's such a lonely place
When you realize you've lost that face
She's moving on, counter revolution has taken place
We're moving on
(We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time)
Yeah, we're moving on
(We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time)
(We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time)
Just keep moving on
When you realize you've lost that face
You've lost that face, oh
We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time
We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time
We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time
We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time
We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time
We'll make it this time, I know we're gonna make it this time
