The Futureheads News And Tributes Lyrics
1.Face

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

Into a featureless face, they carve a smile
Time wasting style of their own
Hurry up, we're losing faith
You have to use your face
Don't let them lose your face

She is a great believer in fate
She gets upset when we're not
Come on, we're losing faith
She has to use her face
Don't let her lose her face

Face, face

Into a featureless face, they carve a smile
Time wasting style of their own
Hurry up, we're losing faith
You have to use your face
Don't lose your face

She is a great, believer in fate
She gets upset, when we're not
Come on, she's losing faith
She has to use her face
Don't let her lose her face

She's losing faith
She's losing faith
She's losing faith
She's losing faith


2.Cope

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

He's the center of attention everywhere he goes
Loud noises, keep it up, he's a man that everybody knows
But he ruins every time because he tries too hard
But he ruins every time because he tries too hard

He's the master of defenses, every angle covered by smoke
He used to be handsome, he changed and his friends couldn't cope
He's the center of attention everywhere he goes
Loud noises, keep it up, he's a man that everybody knows

How dare you?
How dare you?
How dare you?
How dare you?

We make it, we make it
We make it hard for you to cope
We make it, we make it
We make it hard for you to cope

We make it, we make it
We make it hard for you to cope
We make it, we make it
We make it hard for you

How dare you?
How dare you?
How dare you?
How dare you?


3.Favours For Favours (New Version)

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

Many times we'd help each other out
Favours for favours is nothing new
You're asking me to use my fingertips
What I'm sculpting and molding isn't you

These may seem like stupid words
Only two more that you've heard
Everybody's looking for their saving grace
In their race to find a place

I was watching through the window
You were going through the dances
I've been writing all of it down
I'll be taking all my chances
This always seems to happen

There's something that you do, I just can't help myself
And I wish that I could move more in time with you
I've watched you step and I've watched you turn
I've watched you move like a knife in the water
Watched you move across the floor, over to me, for all to see

Now you're asking what it is I want
Half a chance to dance with you
With a little time to work it out
I know the results could astonish you

I was watching through the window
You were going through the dances
I've been writing all of it down
I'll be taking all my chances
This always seems to happen

There's something that you do, I just can't help myself
And I wish that I could move more in time with you
I've watched you step and I've watched you turn
I've watched you move like a knife in the water
Watched you move across the floor, over to me, for all to see

There's something that you do, I just can't help myself
And I wish that I could move more in time with you
I've watched you step and I've watched you turn
I've watched you move like a knife in the water
Watched you move across the floor, over to me, for all to see


4.News And Tributes

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

Cut down in their prime
In silence, on that day
February 58, they got what they need
From Belgrade and back home to sleep

More than a name, to millions
What could have been changed
But all the boys leaving Munich on that day
The snow came and sent them to sleep

This fall was greater than them all
News and tributes come leaking in
As all eyes turn to Rome
I forgotten the sadness feel
Voices turn us towards

Cut down in their prime
In silence, on that day
February 58, they got what they need
From Belgrade and back home to sleep

This fall was greater than them all
News and tributes come leaking in
As all eyes turn to Rome
I forgotten the sadness feel
Voices turn us towards

They're still singing despite the years
Sending them back into Rome
There's a ringing in the ears
That lasts them here to war

News and tributes
Lick it in
Lick it in
Lick it in


5.Yes/No

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

In some cases yes, most cases no
My advice goes as follows
Go home, brick yourself in
Think about it properly, go back to the beginning

Yes! No! Yes! No!
Yes! No! Yes! No!

Some people say we are the son of our pasts
I don't believe, I don't believe it's smart
Try and explain such a complicated thing
Showless expression, tried on a king

Yes! No! Yes! No!
Yes! No! Yes! No!

Yes! No! Yes! No!
Yes! No! Yes! No!
Yes! No! Yes! No!
Yes! No! Yes! No!


6.Back To The Sea

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

Did you stop to think, when we moved by the sea?
When the seasons changed, when the seasons changed
They changed for a reason

I'm not talking lightly, I don't need to set the scene
We're living in it, we're living in it
It's in everything we see

I won't go back to the sea
Whatever is pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea

Did you really think, that this is what we need?
Well I'm dragging my feet, avoiding sleep
Trying to make you see

It's reached the situation where it's the job or me
It's the job or me
If you're asking me, then the job is part of me

I won't go back to the sea
Whatever is pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea

It's not what you put in but what you take away
The least you're counting on
Now that you're counting down the days

You've taken opportunities, received nothing in return
This place that you call paradise
Will teach you a lesson you deserve

I won't go back to the sea
Whatever is pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea

I won't go back to the sea
Whatever is pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea


7.Burnt

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

When he called her name, they could go anywhere
(Then he went somewhere alone)
Then he changed his voice to a more serious tone
(She's alone, he's alone)

So she goes somewhere else, as well
And she gets herself involved with someone else
(Can you tell where this is going?)

Wanna help them out? Then hear them out

Got burnt, third degrees
Never learnt my lesson but forgive me please
Nothing lasts forever and nothing is free
Please remember to let me down gently

There are people climbing over walls
(Just to see how she is feeling)
And they know, they know it's worth the sweat
(When they see what she is doing)

And if you hear her shout, then please look up

Got burnt, third degrees
Never learnt my lesson but forgive me please
Nothing lasts forever and nothing is free
Please remember to let me down gently

Got burnt, third degrees
Never learnt my lesson but forgive me please
Nothing lasts forever and nothing is free
Please remember to let me down gently

Got burnt, third degrees
Never learnt my lesson but forgive me please
Nothing lasts forever and nothing is free
Please remember to let me down gently


8.Fallout

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

If we have to fallout, we should fallout together
'Cause we'll have to find a shelter and stay in the shelter
It's safe in the shelter, the fall was hard, the fall was hard
The out was invisible to you, what a miserable excuse

After days in the dark, the light broke through
And it was difficult to see you
(See, see, you, you, see, see, you, you, you)
And sat in the warm with you

You put me down with your thumb
I can see clearly that you point towards sorrow
But the fingers point at me, we're gonna fall out tomorrow

The morning arrives, the morning arrives
As the night falls down, the shelter is in darkness
And the outside is in shock

After days in the dark, the light breaks through
And it was difficult to see you
(See, see, you, you, see, see, you, you, you)
And sat in the warm with you

After days in the dark, the light broke through
And it was difficult to see you
(See, see, you, you, see, see, you, you, you)
And sat in the warm with you

You, you, you


9.Skip To The End

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

If I could cheat, I would skip to the end
And decide if it's worth going through with
Skip to the last paragraph, just before we start
To see the happy ending or the broken heart

If I could cheat, I would skip to the end
And decide if it's worth going through with
Skip to the last paragraph, just before we start
To see the happy ending or a broken heart
Happy ending or a broken heart

(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
There's nothing to rely on
(Na, na)
(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
C'mon and skip to the end
(Na, na)

(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
There's nothing to fall back on
(Na, na)
(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
C'mon and skip to the end

When I cut teeth, I cut to the root
Then the end is absolute
When she makes sense, I go through the roof
Then the end has living proof

If I could cheat, I would skip to the end
And decide if it's worth going through with it
Last paragraph, just before we start
To see the happy ending or a broken heart
Happy ending or a broken heart

(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
There's nothing to rely on
(Na, na)
(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
C'mon and skip to the end
(Na, na)

(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
There's nothing to fall back on
(Na, na)
(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
C'mon and skip to the end

(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
There's nothing to rely on
(Na, na)
(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
C'mon and skip to the end
(Na, na)

(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
There's nothing to fall back on
(Na, na)
(Naa, na, na, na, na, na)
C'mon and skip to the end


10.Worry About It Later (New Version)

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk
Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk

I'm always foolish
Stupid and foul
No one to disguise it
There's no turning back

I will pay, I will pay, I will pay
As much or as little as I have to
To try and confuse you
Because you have to do

Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk
Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk

Never to return
Because one turn is enough
Two sides of the same coin
But it's the bad luck stuff

I will pay, I will pay, I will pay
As much or as little as I have to
To try and confuse you
Because you have to do

Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk
Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk

Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk
Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk

Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk
Worry, about it later
We couldn't resist, the risk


11.Area

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David Hyde, Ross Millard

Duh der dum, duh der dum
Duh der dem, duh deh dam
Dah der dem, dah der dem
Dah der dum, dah der dum, da

Duh der dum, duh der dum
Duh der dem, duh deh dam
Dah der dem, dah der dem
Dah der dum, dah der dum, da

You have to stay in a hotel
Because your house was falling to pieces
You left your luggage in the hallway
And a thief ran away with it
(He ran away with it)

His excuse was boredom
Tell me how bored you have to be
And I promise you won't be bored
When it gets to the point that you're finished with me

Duh der dum, duh der dum
Duh der dem, duh deh dam
Duh der dum, duh der dum
Duh der dem, duh deh dam
(Area)

Dah der dem, dah der dem
Dah der dum, dah der dum, da
Dah der dem, dah der dem
Dah der dum, dah der dum, da
(Area)

You have to buy an alarm, the lasers
Pick up movements in the dark
It's better than a dog bark, it guarantee's
So you can be secure at night
(Area)

Your area's in ruin
(Area)
Your area's in ruin
(Area)
Your area is free
(Area)

When it gets to the point
That you're finished with me
When it gets to the point
That you're finished with me
And all the first are ready

Very certain that she has to go
Where do you come from, what do you know?

Duh der dum, duh der dum
Duh der dem, duh deh dam
Duh der dum, duh der dum
Duh der dem, duh deh dam
(Area)

Dah der dem, dah der dem
Dah der dum, dah der dum, da
Dah der dem, dah der dem
Dah der dum, dah der dum, da
(Area)

The doors have metal plates, fitted to the inside
Of the exit alleys to the front gates
Security's expensive, it can cost a fortune
If you buy your locks from the wrong place
(Duh doo doo, duh doo doo)

It's the area disgrace
It's the area disgrace
It's the area disgrace

Area's in ruin
Area's in ruin
Ruin
Ruin
Ha ha

When it gets to the point
That you're finished with me
And all the first are ready

Very certain that she has to go
Very certain that she has to go
Very certain that she has to go
Where do you come from, what do you know?


12.We Cannot Lose

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David James Hyde, Ross George Thomas
Millard

A genius mind went to war and lost
He won the battle but he lost his trust in us
How big a price will he have to pay?
How big a price will we make him pay to us?

A million moves but the couldn't see one
Too many thoughts to play for fun
He had to think, he had to concentrate
He had to think, he had to concentrate for us

We cannot lose
We cannot lose
We cannot lose
We cannot lose

He had disposed of them all before
Unrivalled wealth on the road to war
He didn't care what he did to them
His only thought was how and when to win

All alone with his thoughts and fears
He alone knew the price would come in years
He had to think, he had to concentrate
He had to organize his mind and thoughts for us

We cannot lose
We cannot lose
We cannot lose
We cannot lose

The battle won he never fought again
He knew himself there was nothing left to win
Unequipped for the fight within
All he knew was the game and how to win

We cannot lose
We cannot lose
We cannot lose
We cannot cannot lose

We cannot lose
We cannot lose
We cannot lose
We cannot cannot lose


13.Help Us Out

Lyricist:David Craig, Barry Hyde, David James Hyde, Ross George Thomas
Millard

Natural disaster brought us together
In the name of science let me go
This town was built with honest labor
Sometimes it's all that people know

You could help us out, would you help us out?
Would anybody help us out?
Would you help us out?
Could anybody help us out?

Children play at doctors and nurses
Grown men work at pest control
Have you lost all of your senses?
Leading the way is all about taking control

You could help us out, would you help us out?
Would anybody help us out?
Would you help us out?
Could anybody help us out, out, out, out?

You never help us out, you never help us out
You never help us out, you never help us out

Banks are broken, the shops are looted
Science warned this was bound to happen
Water in every quarter
All the world is waiting for action

You could help us out, wish you help us out
Could anybody help us out?
Would you help us out?
Could anybody help us out, out, out, out?
