Up For A Bit With The Pastels

The Pastels Up For A Bit With The Pastels Lyrics
1.Hitchin' A (Ride)


2.Baby Honey

If I wish upon a star
Take you just the way you are
And if I do something for you
It's everything I do for you

If you're feeling down and out
Oh I want to make it right
If the love you feel is true
Please let me share it with you

If you wish upon a star
Take me just the way I am
And if I do something for you
It's everything I do for you

If I'm feeling uptight
I want you to make it right
If the love I feel is true
Then I want to be with you

There is magic in her fingertips
There is magic in the lips I kiss
There is magic in her beautiful eyes
Justify the tears I've cried


3.If I Could Tell You

Time says nothing but I told you so
And laughs at all the foolish things we say
If I could tell you I would let you know
I'd let you know

It never says that you could stay awhile
In a place where you feel at home
And when it comes to moving on again
You just smile

'Til each ex-lover forgets your face
And the end has not justified the means
Nothing unexpected as you know
Just not so soon

And when it's time for us to go
Who remembers what we lost on the way?
Our intentions left forever more
If I could tell you I would let you know
I'd let you know


4.Ride

I was born in the middle of nowhere
And since that day I've been suffocating
Tell myself this dump trod on me
Anticipating and waiting and waiting
But oh I feel so lonely
Gonna make my way down to the bus station

Wanna ride
And everything's in site
Just wanna ride
Wanna ride

I tell myself this dump's trod on me
But still I keep on suffocating
It's a desperate situation
I've wanted and wanted and wanted
Hoping and praying
But still I feel so lonely
Gonna make my way down to the bus station

Wanna ride
Everything's in site
Just wanna ride
Wanna ride

I'm choking
My humour is gone
This trouble
Goes on forever
Sitting here
Desperate situation
Wait and smile
Wind and snow
Not got much time
They don't like me
Don't like them either
Desperate situation


5.Up For A Bit

My sister's lover was like no other
Boyfriend she had ever had
His name was Susan
It was what he was using
That's what my sister said

She was distracted
But she's easy attracted

She was detached
But now she's attached


6.Crawl Babies

She comes walking down the road
And I know that dogs won't bark
She comes walking up the stairs
She's tap-tap-tapping on my door

And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must
But I go blind and my mouth fills up with dust

Says she's open like a book
She's got everything I need
Even wants to take the time
To teach me how to read

But the ceiling moves on down towards the floor
And soon there's only room enough for us to crawl

I wanna build her up
Up as tall as a church
Just to watch her
Just to watch her falling down
I can't see her again
I just can't see her again
I've got to see her again
I've got to see her again

She comes walking down the road
With a kaftan in her hands
She comes walking up the stairs
She's tap-tap-tapping on my door

And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must
But I go blind and my bones start to rust

I wanna build her up
Up as tall as a church
Just to watch her
Just to watch her falling down
I can't see her again
I just can't see her again
I've got to see her again
I've got to see her again


7.Address Book

You know I don't mean half the things I say
Cause if I did I wouldn't say them
So please don't take me to the .....
Cause I'm afraid I'll only get encouraged

And then you look at me and I know I've let myself down
And then I'll go down
To the underground
Where there's no one else around
Way on down

There are no measly words to explain the way our lives should
age(?)
And though it seems to be a too-childish(?) thought
That's isn't really the case.
You're beginning to find out what everything's about
And you're only halfway there
Which is more or less the same as me
But in a different way

One of these days I'm going to look at my address book and you
won't be there.
One of these days I'm going to look at my address book and you
won't be there.

You know I don't mean half the things I say
So just ignore the half that you don't like
You know I don't mean half the things I say
So just ignore the half that you don't like

And then you look at me and I know I've let myself down
And then I'll go down
To the underground(?)
Where there's no one else around
Way on down
Way on down
Way on down


8.I'm Alright With You

If you are feeling down
And want some reason to come around
You know it won't be wrong
And you are upside down

If you begin at the end
Or halfway through or somewhere else
It makes some kind of sense
When you are my best friend

I'm alright with you

If you are inside outside
Some people might call you stupid
I don't care what they said
When you are by my side
If you are back to front
And find your mind somewhat absent
You better hang on to what you got
It's everything that I want

I'm alright with you

You know I'd cross the desert wastes for you
Watch the sun burn up the sky
You know I'd wait a thousand years for you
I love you 'til there's nothing left


9.Get 'Round Town


10.Automatically Yours

I don't wanna go halfway across the globe
To find things that I don't wanna know
I can seek for a long time through all that stuff
To find something that I don't really care about
There's not much about

But when you smile
You make the world seem a home
And when you smile
How can a smile just say it all?

I don't wanna be what I cannot see
And it feels alright; you'll in my heart remain
I walked through the door and I picked up my soul
But the keys were stolen and the door won't open
No, it's just my luck

But when you smile
You make the world seem a home
And when you smile
I guess I'll just stay at home

I can't describe this feeling
It hammers my brain
I can't deny this feeling
It drives me insane
Always the same

But when you smile
You make the world seem a home
And when you smile

Automatically yours
Yeah I'm yours
