Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

My name is Marianne
But they all call me Frances
I saw the coast was clear
Do you mind me being here?

I've seen faces in high places messing up for good
So what am I doing here?
What am I doing here?

What's say you feel in me?
Saw the writing on the wall, feel sad and blue
A paradise is close at hand
In images of elsewhere

I've seen faces in high places
Messing up big style
I log on for company
My ISP comforts me

Goodbye, godspeed
I can't give you what you need
If i've sounded distant thus far
It's cause I'm as lost as you are

A paradise is close at hand
In images of elsewhere

Goodbye, godspeed
I can't give you what you need
If i've sounded distant thus far
It's cause I'm as lost as you are

Goodbye, godspeed
I can't give you what you need
If i've sounded distant thus far
It's cause I'm as lost as you are

I'm gonna change my immediate circle of friends
I'm gonna run away and join the circus, oh yeah
Oh they've been leading me around in circles, round and round
I'm gonna change my immediate circle of friends

In my darkest hour of need
They all become make believe
And they pretend that they are sleeping

I raise my game as the stakes stack higher, higher
Oh you cry wolf like you're the town crier, cry girl
The queen of pubs thinks her pub song days are over
Swills down dregs, drags on duck-arsed cigarettes

In my darkest hour of need
They all become make believe
And they pretend that they are sleeping
They pretend that they are sleeping
They pretend that they are sleeping

I'm gonna change my immediate circle of friends
I'm gonna run away and join the circus, oh yeah
I'll be assistant to the blind knife-thrower, I'll throw
And better that than being factory fodder, order

In my darkest hour of need
They all become make believe
And they pretend that they are sleeping

Oh I'm gonna change my immediate circle
Oh they've been leading me around in circles
Oh they've been leading me around in circles, round and round

Go tell the captain there's no waters left to navigate
They sailed them all for you
Go tell the engine room 'stop stokin up the fire'
We're out of fuel

Doom looms large on my horizon
Mountain toxic, river poison
Fools get votes in a democracy

We'll build you ring-roads to go nowhere in particular
Now you've passed your highway code
And make new inroads into blundering the earth
Just send more fuel

Doom looms large on my horizon
Mountain toxic, river poison
Fools get votes in a democracy

Go ask the government you voted in on trust
Where is our fuel?

Doom looms large on my horizon
Mountain toxic, river poison
Fools get votes in a democracy

Oh doom looms large on my horizon
Mountain toxic, river poison
Fools get votes in a democracy

It's what's not there
That makes what's there
What it is

Seems like we're quite in demand
More faint praise, well I'll be damned
Ships run aground on the rocks
Not all that unorthodox

It's what's not there
That makes what's there
What it is

Fate cuts her cloth, ragged, mean
You'll miss the ceremony
He sleeps, she wakes then she tags
Leave us to our frying pan and fires

Sculpture, sculpture feed me to the vultures
We've been going round the bend for some time now

It's what's not there
That makes what's there
What it is

You always hear the shouts from my batallion
And send toy soldiers out to help me stand
And when I see you hide behind those curtain folds
I cross the room to turn the lights down low

On common ground we'll build our castle walls
We'll build them stone by stone, and how
With more and more you know it won't take long
Where it burned orange let it burn gold

I wouldn't like to learn a lesson every day
Good times, bad times, it's just a price to pay
But given half a chance at turning back the tide
I'll stay at home and keep my boys in line

On common ground we'll build our castle walls
We'll build them stone by stone, and how
And more and more you know it won't take long
Where it burned orange let it burn gold

And given half the chance to turn the hands of time
I'm always the bridesmade cause
Couldn't live with myself if I tried to be the bride

On common ground we'll build our castle walls
We'll build them stone by stone, and how
With more and more you know it won't take long
Where it burned orange let it burn gold

On common ground we'll build our castle walls
We'll build them stone by stone, and how
With more and more you know it won't take long
Where it burned orange let it burn gold

On common ground we'll build our castle walls
We'll build them stone by stone, and how
With more and more you know it won't take long
Where it burned orange let it burn gold

Did you find that some modern day
Your life was in disarray
For long, for good

Did you do what your parents done?
Find some mad equilibrium?

And now I can say honestly
You're a masculine travesty
Fore-armed is fore-warned

Your purple patch came and went
All those love letters never sent

You are the mother of
Mother of
Mother of

M I S O G Y N Y - misogyny

Mother of
Mother of

M I S O G Y N Y - misogyny

You're so much a part of me
It's life's greatest tragedy
Unarmed and undone

So you do what you've always done
Finding mad equilibrium

You are the mother of
Mother of
Mother of

M I S O G Y N Y - misogyny

Mother of
Mother of

M I S O G Y N Y - misogyny
M I S O G Y N Y - misogyny

M I S O G Y N Y - misogyny
M I S O G Y N Y - misogyny

Mother!

She takes her happy pills
They keep her happy
Is everybody here on drugs?

Mad cows like bumblebees
With chemistry degrees
Is everybody here on drugs?

Here on drugs, here on drugs?

The Uberlords they'll stop the flow
No snow, no show, bad scene
The Uberlords, when they see fit
Will give our lives new meaning

Spin doctor, aim for free
Lest we speak honestly
Is everybody here on drugs?

Here on drugs, here on drugs?

The Uberlords they'll stop the flow
No snow, no show, bad scene
Uppers, downers, they don't hang around us
Will give our lives no meaning

No meaning, no meaning
No meaning, no meaning

Don't need your poison, me
I'll take the melancholy
And everybody here's on...

Uberlords they stop the flow
No snow, no show, bad scene
Uppers, downers, they don't hang around us
They'll give our lives no meaning

New meaning, a meaning
No meaning, no meaning

Both born of lust and deceit
We are lovers who will never meet
Wants fade but just in the same room
When you knew not of me nor I of you
Something inside dies

And we don't stand up to scrutiny
We stand by and by and by

A great pain finds no haven humdrum
And we stand by and by and by

Me and my imaginary friend
Have been going round the bend for some time now
For some time now

And me and Timmy turn are having trouble being heard
Through the background hum
Through the background hum

Me and Barry C, are going down to Connah's Quay,
For some telecaster dreams
A telecaster's all you need, and me

And me and my imaginary friend
Have been going round the bend
For some time now

From London to Lisbon
And all points between
Find people to lean on
And one man to please

We all need someone
We all need something
We all need

I'm lustless lifeless
The sand on my skin
It means nothing without you
That's where it begins

We all need someone
We all need something
We all need
We all need

Oh get out for your sakes
Do you want it?
And no promises are spoken
Oh take it or leave it do you like it?
And no mans heart gets broken

One day to another
I'm head over heels
One room to another
It sets the same scene

We all need someone
We all need something
We all need
We all need

Every man for himself for just a little while
Every man for himself for just a short while
You could come around we could fool around
And tha'ts just the way it could be
And the way it's always been

Oh from London to Lisbon
I'm head over heels
Take it or leave it
Just come as you please

Cause we all need
We all need
Someone, somehow, somewhere!

Don't be so hard on yourself...

For those who won't
And never will
Song sung blue

No one at home
And time to kill
Song for the beautiful loser

She would hide at the parking ride
Glued up to the gills
Hides her cigarettes and sex and appetite for pills

She's a shell of her former self
Bad nature laid on the shelf
And the honeymoon's wearing thin
It's a sign of the state we're in

A stolen heart
Broken apart
Song for the beautiful loser

Sweet sixteen
A kiss too far
Song sounds blue

And she was glad when her dad
Got locked out for good
Teaching love by lashing out with anything he could

She's a shell of her former self
Bad nature laid on the shelf
And the honeymoon's wearing thin
It's a sign of the state we're in

She would hide at the parking ride
Glued up to the gills
Cigarettes and easy sex and a bellyload of pills

She's a shell of her former self
Bad nature laid on the shelf
And the honeymoon's wearing thin
It's a sign of the state we're in

Song for the beautiful loser
Song for the beautiful loser

Song sung blue
Song sung blue

I do think that you could be anything that you wanna be
It's easy, easy
When you say that time will tell, it don't mean the last order bell
Is ringing, ringing

And there's always plenty more G+T in the sea

So you keep playing the same tired old blue song
Oh with the same tired old blues con
Put those songs to sleep
They don't make me weep anymore

You keep playing the same tired old blue song
Oh with the same tired old blues con
Put those songs to sleep
They don't make them weep anymore

Your empty bed ain't no crystal ball
It can't tell you what the future's bringing, bringing
And it's bank holiday, mundane
They dazzle on, they help to stop that flinging, stinging

And there's always plenty more G+T in the sea

So you keep playing the same tired old blue song
Oh with the same tired old blues con
Put those songs to sleep
They don't make me weep anymore

You keep playing the same tired old blue song
Oh an the same tired old blues con
Put those songs to sleep
They don't make me weep anymore

So you're ready to begin again
Let it be good again
With your heart in healing, about to be
Oh, stand up to me
Don't keep playing the same damn old blue song
Oh...anymore

You keep playing the same tired old blue song
Oh...they don't make me weep anymore

You keep playing the same tired old blue song
Oh with the same tired old blues con
Put those songs to sleep
They don't make me weep anymore

You keep playing the same tired old blue song
Oh and the same tired old blues con
Put those songs to sleep
They don't make me weep anymore

Oh keep playing
Oh keep playing
Oh...they don't make me weep anymore
Oh keep playing
Oh keep playing
Oh...they don't make me weep anymore

I found me a pulse
I found me a pulse
And I came to this screaming City baby
I found me a pulse
I bought me some clothes
I bought me some clothes
And I played in this screaming City baby
I got given clothes
But we're village idiots
And we tie ourselves in knots
But it's ok
I lost me some clothes
And the gap at my door
I faked a claim, pity baby
I won't give up the ghost
I'll be the hostess with the most
And I wont give up my post
I come alive in the screaming City baby
I won't give up the ghost
But we're village idiots
And the party never stops
But it's ok
Cause to struggle would be meaningless
We are what we are everyone of us
And you love those disco frills
And you love those disco frills
And you really take the biscuit baby
You love those disco frills
But we're village idiots
And the party never stops
Cause to struggle would be meaningless
We are what we are everyone of us

I never feared the rain
Until you turned to me and said it failed again
It makes a perfect day so lame
And leads as halfway to nowhere

So the players have changed
Soon we'll memorise the names
But somehow something's never quite the same
Still we stake a claim - you can count us in again

And everyone's a winner baby
Head your bets, get set
And maybe we could be the first to cross the line

Get up, get set, get ready
Get high, get low, get even
Cause we're living in the middle of time
Chasing the ultimate prize

You'd make a fine millionaire
It's only natural to celebrate
But someone's got to be there to pay
And we never get there

So take some time on our own
We burn in us alone
Close but still not fully grown
Pulling marrow from a bone

But there's no sin in that, so count us in again

And everyone's a winner baby
Head your bets, get set
And maybe we could be the first to cross the line

Everyone's a winner, baby
Everyone's a winner, baby

Going back to the old house
The marigolds just go to show
That some of us would never have left home
But see I'm still counting

Another flash in the pan
Achieves an instant forming tan
It seems to grow on me
Taking inches from a mile

No change there, but I'm all for throwing it on the line

Cause everyone's a winner baby
Head your bets, get set
And maybe we could be the first to cross the line

Get up, get set, get ready
Get high, get low to get even
Cause we're living in the middle of time
Chasing the ultimate prize

Everyone's a winner baby
Everyone's a winner baby
Everyone's a winner baby
