1.Accept Yourself(Bbc)
Every day you must say
So, how do i feel about my life ？
Anything is hard to find
When you will not open your eyes
When will you accept yourself ？
I am sick and i am dull
And i am plain
How dearly i'd love to get carried away
Oh, but dreams have a knack of just not coming true
And time is against me now...oh
Oh, who and what to blame ？
Oh, anything is hard to find
When you will not open your eyes
When will you accept yourself, for heaven's sake ？
Anything is hard to find
When you will not open your eyes
Every day you must say
Oh, how do i feel about the past ？
Others conquered love - but i ran
I sat in my room and i drew up a plan
Oh, but plans can fall through (as so often they do)
And time is against me now...
And there's no-one left to blame
Oh, tell me when will you ...
When will you accept your life ？
(the one that you hate)
For anything is hard to find
When you will not open your eyes
Every day you must say
Oh, how do i feel about my shoes ？
They make me awkward and plain
How dearly i would love to kick with the fray ...
But i once had a dream (and it never came true)
And time is against me now...
Time is against me now...
And there's no one but yourself to blame
Oh, anything is hard to find
When you will not open your eyes
Anything is hard to find; for heaven's sake !
Anything is hard to find
When you will not open your eyes
When will you accept yourself ？
When ？
When ？
When ？
When ？
2.Back To The Old House(Bbc)
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many
Bad memories
Too many memories
There ...
There ...
There ...
When you cycled by
Here began all my dreams
The saddest thing i've ever seen
And you never knew
How much i really liked you
Because i never even told you
Oh, and i meant to
Are you still there ？
Or ... have you moved away ？
Or have you moved away ？
Oh ...
I would love to go
Back to the old house
But i never will
I never will ...
I never will ...
I never will ...
3.Half A Person(Bbc)
Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent six years on your trail
Six long years
On your trail
Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent six years on your trail
Six full years of my life on your trail
And if you have five seconds to spare
Then i'll tell you the story of my life ：
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to london and i
I booked myself in at the y ... w.c.a.
I said ： 'i like it here - can i stay ？
I like it here - can i stay ？
And do you have a vacancy
For a back-scrubber？'
She was left behind, and sour
And she wrote to me, equally dour
She said ： 'in the days when you were
Hopelessly poor
I just liked you more...'
And if you have five seconds to spare
Then i'll tell you the story of my life ：
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to london and i
I booked myself in at the y ... w.c.a.
I said ： 'i like it here - can i stay ？
I like it here - can i stay ？
And do you have a vacancy
For a back-scrubber ？'
Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent too long on your trail
Far too long
Chasing your tail
Oh ...
And if you have five seconds to spare
Then i'll tell you the story of my life ：
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
That's the story of my life
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
The story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
The story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
4.Handsome Devil(Bbc)
All the streets are crammed with things
Eager to be held
I know what hands are for
And i'd like to help myself
You ask me the time
But i sense something more
And i would like to give
What i think you're asking for
You handsome devil
Oh, you handsome devil
Let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, i say, i say
I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it
A boy in the bush
Is worth two in the hand
I think i can help you get through your exams
Oh, you handsome devil
Oh, let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, i say, i say
I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it
And when we're in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom ？
When we're in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom ？
You handsome devil
Oh, let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, i say, i say
There's more to life than books, you know
But not much more
Oh, there's more to life than books, you know
But not much more, not much more
Oh, you handsome devil
Oh, you handsome devil
Ow !
5.Hand In Glove(Haven't Got)
6.Is It Really So Strange ？(Bbc)
I left the north
I travelled south
I found a tiny house
And i can't help the way i feel
Oh yes, you can kick me
And you can punch me
And you can break my face
But you won't change the way i feel
'cause i love you
Oh ...
And is it really so strange ？
Oh, is it really so strange ？
Oh, is it really so, really so strange ？
I say no, you say yes
(and you will change your mind)
I left the south
I travelled north
I got confused - i killed a horse
I can't help the way i feel
Oh yes, you can punch me
And you can butt me
And you can break my spine
But you won't change the way i feel
'cause i love you
Oh ...
And is it really so strange ？
Oh, is it really so strange ？
Oh, is it really so, really so strange ？
I say no, you say yes
(but you will change your mind)
I left the north again
I travelled south again
And i got confused - i killed a nun
I can't help the way i feel
I can't help the way i feel
I can't help the way i feel
(i lost my bag in newport pagnell)
Why is the last mile the hardest mile ？
My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes
And i realised, i realised
I could never
I could never, never, never, go back home again
7.I Don't Owe You Anything(Haven't Got)
8.London(Haven't Got)
9.Miserable Lie(Bbc)
So, goodbye
Please stay with your own kind
And i'll stay with mine
There's something against us
It's not time
It's not time
So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I know i need hardly say
How much i love your casual way
Oh, but please put your tongue away
A little higher and we're well away
The dark nights are drawing in
And your humour is as black as them
I look at yours, you laugh at mine
And 'love' is just a miserable lie
You have destroyed my flower-like life
Not once - twice
You have corrupt my innocent mind
Not once - twice
I recognise that mystical air
It means ： i'd like to see your underwear
I know the wind-swept mystical air
It means ： i'd like to see your underwear
What do we get for our trouble and pain ？
Just a rented room in whalley range
What do we get for our trouble and pain ？
...whalley range !
Into the depths of the criminal world
I followed her ...
I need advice, i need advice
I need advice, i need advice
Because nobody ever looks at me twice
Nobody ever looks at me twice
I'm just a country-mile behind
The world
I'm just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh ...
I'm just a country-mile behind
The world
I'm just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh ...
Take me as you go
Oh oh, oh...
Take me as you go
Oh oh, oh ...
I need advice, i need advice
10.Pretty Girls Make Graves(Bbc)
Upon the sand, upon the bay
'there is a quick and easy way' you say
Before you illustrate
I'd rather state：
'i'm not the man you think i am
I'm not the man you think i am'
And sorrow's native son
He will not smile for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
Oh ...
End of the pier, end of the bay
You tug my arm, and say ： 'give in to lust,
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
Soon be dust ... '
Oh, i'm not the man you think i am
I'm not the man you think i am
And sorrow's native son
He will not rise for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
Oh ...
I could have been wild and i could have
Been free
But nature played this trick on me
She wants it now
And she will not wait
But she's too rough
And i'm too delicate
Then, on the sand
Another man, he takes her hand
A smile lights up her stupid face
(and well, it would)
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith ...
Oh ...
Hand in glove ...
The sun shines out of our behinds ...
Oh ...
11.Reel Around The Fountain(Bbc)
It's time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
It's time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
You made him old
Reel around the fountain
Slap me on the patio
I'll take it now
Oh ...
Fifteen minutes with you
Well, i wouldn't say no
Oh, people said that you were virtually dead
And they were so wrong
Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, i wouldn't say no
Oh, people said that you were easily led
And they were half-right
They ... they were half-right, oh
It's time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
It's time that the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
You made him old
Reel around the fountain
Slap me on the patio
I'll take it now
Oh ...
Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, i wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
Oh, but i do.
Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, i wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
I do.
Oh, oh, i do
Oh ...
I dreamt about you last night
And i fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly
But 'take me to the haven of your bed'
Was something that you never said
Two lumps, please
You're the bee's knees
But so am i
Meet me at the fountain
Shove me on the patio
I'll take it slowly
Oh ...
Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, i wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
Oh, but i do.
Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, i wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
Oh, i do.
I ... oh, i do
Oh, i do
Oh, i do
Oh, i do
12.Reel Around The Fountain(Jensen Version Haven't Got)
13.Rusholme Ruffians(Bbc)
The last night of the fair
By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed
And his money is grabbed
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
She is famous
She is funny
An engagement ring
Doesn't mean a thing
To a mind consumed by brass (money)
And though i walk home alone
Though i walk home alone
My faith in love is still devout
The last night of the fair
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a hideous trait (on her mother's side)
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
A hideous trait (on her mother's side)
And though i walk home alone
I might walk home alone ...
... but my faith in love is still devout
Then someone falls in love
And someone's beaten up
Someone's beaten up
And the senses being dulled are mine
And someone falls in love
And someone's beaten up
And the senses being dulled are mine
And though i walk home alone
I might walk home alone ...
... but my faith in love is still devout
This is the last night of the fair
And the grease in the hair
Of a speedway operator
Is all a tremulous heart requires
A schoolgirl is denied
She says ： 'how quickly would i die
If i jumped from the top of the parachutes ？'
La ...
This is the last night of the fair
And the grease on the hair
Of a speedway operator
Is all a tremulous heart requires
A schoolgirl is denied
She says ： 'how quickly would i die
If i jumped from the top of the parachutes ？'
So ... scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
(this means you really love me)
Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
(this means you really love me)
And though i walk home alone
Though i walk home alone
My faith in love is still devout
Though i walk home alone
My faith in love is still devout
Though i walk home alone
My faith in love is still devout
14.Still Ill(Bbc)
I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine and it owes me a living
Ask me why, and i'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me why, and i'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreams
Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body ？
I dunno...
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although i ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am i still ill ？
Oh ...
Am i still ill ？
Oh ...
Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body ？
I dunno...
Ask me why, and i'll die
Oh, ask me why, and i'll die
And if you must, go to work - tomorrow
Well, if i were you i really wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And i should know, because i've seen them
But not often ...
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although i ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am i still ill ？
Oh ...
Oh, am i still ill ？
Oh ...
15.These Things Take Time(Bbc)
My eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wunderkind
You took me behind a dis-used railway line
And said 'i know a place where we can go
Where we are not known'
And you gave me something that i won't forget too soon
But i can't believe you'd ever care
And this is why you will never care
These things take time
I know that i'm
The most inept
That ever stepped
I'm spellbound, but a woman divides
And the hills are alive with celibate cries
But you know where you came from, you know where
You're going and you know where you belong
You said i was ill, and you were not wrong
But i can't believe you'd ever care
And this is why you will never care
These things take time
I know that i'm
The most inept
That ever stepped
Oh, the alcoholic afternoons
When we sat in your room
They meant more to me
Than any, than any living thing on earth
They had more worth
Than any living thing on earth
On earth, on earth, oh ...
Vivid and in your prime
You will leave me behind
You will leave me behind
16.This Charming Man(Bbc)
Punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet ？
When in this charming car
This charming man
Why pamper life's complexities
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat ？
I would go out tonight
But i haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said 'it's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care'
A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said 'return the rings'
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
I would go out tonight
But i haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said 'it's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care'
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...
Oh, da-da, da-da, da-da, this charming man ...
A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said 'return the ring'
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
17.This Night Has Opened My Eyes(Bbc)
In a river the colour of lead
Immerse the baby's head
Wrap her up in the news of the world
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And i will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of twenty-five
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't and he never will
Oh, save your life
Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And i'm not happy
And i'm not sad
A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again
She left pain
So, please save your life
Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And i'm not happy
And i'm not sad
Oh ...
And i'm not happy
And i'm not sad
Oh ...
And i'm not happy
And i'm not sad
18.What Difference Does It Make ？(Bbc)
All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
We have been through hell and high tide
I can surely rely on you ...
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still i'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you
So, what difference does it make ？
So, what difference does it make ？
It makes none
But now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and i lied, and why ？
Because you asked me to !
But now you make me feel so ashamed
Because i've only got two hands
Well, i'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
So, what difference does it make ？
Oh, what difference does it make ？
Oh, it makes none
But now you have gone
And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight
Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole, and then i lied
Just because you asked me to
But now you know the truth about me
You won't see me anymore
Well, i'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
But no more apologies
No more apology
Oh, i'm too tired
I'm so very tired
And i'm feeling very sick and ill today
But i'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
Oh, my sacred one ...
Oh ...
19.Wonderful Woman(Bbc)
Here her head, she lay
Until she'd rise and say：
'i'm starved of mirth;
Let's go and trip a dwarf'
Oh, what to be done with her ？
Oh, what to be done with her ？
Oh ...
Ice water for blood
With neither heart or spine
And then just, and then just
To pass time; let us go and rob the blind
What to be done with her ？
Ask yourself...
What to be said of her ？
Oh ...
But when she calls me, i do not walk, i run
Oh, when she calls, i do not walk, i run
Oh ...
Oh ...
Oh ...
20.You've Got Everything Now(Bbc)
As merry as the days were long
'i am right and you are wrong'
Back at the old grey school
I would win and you would lose
But you've got everything now
You've got everything now
And what a terrible mess i've made of my life
Oh, what a mess i've made of my life
No, i've never had a job
Because i've never wanted one
I've seen you smile
But i've never heard you laugh
So who is rich and who is poor ？
I cannot say ... oh
Oh, you are your mother's only son
And you're a desperate one
Oh ...
But i don't want a lover
I just want to be seen ... oh ... in the back of your car
A friendship sadly lost ？
Well this is true ... and yet, it's false
Oh ...
But did i ever tell you, by the way ？
I never did like your face
Oh ...
But you've got everything now
You've got everything now
And what a terrible mess i've made of my life
Oh, what a mess i've made of my life
No, i've never had a job
Because i'm too shy
I've seen you smile
But i've never really heard you laugh
So who is rich and who is poor ？
I cannot say ... oh
Oh ...
You are your mother's only son
And you're a desperate one
Oh ...
But i don't want a lover
I just want to be tied ... oh ... to the back of your car
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
The back of your car
The back of your car
Oh ... the back of your car
