Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

This is our "music from a Bachelor's Den"
The sound of loneliness turned up to ten
A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed
And it sounds just like this

This is the sound of someone losing the plot
Makin' out that they're okay when they're not
You're gonna like it, but not a lot and the chorus goes like this :

Oh Baby, here comes the fear again
The end is near again
A monkey's built a house on your back
You can't get anyone to come in the sack and
Here comes another panic attack
Oh, here we go again

So now you know the words to our song
Pretty soon you'll all be singing along
When you're sad, when you're lonely
And it all turns out wrong
When you've got the fear
And when you're no longer searching for beauty or love
Just some kind of life with the edges taken off

When you can't even define what it is
That you are frightened of
This song will be here

Oh Baby, here comes the fear again
The end is near again
If you ever get that chimp off your back
If you ever find the thing that you lack
But you know you're only having a laugh
Oh, here we go again
Until the end, until the end

I am not Jesus though I have the same initials
I am the man who stays home and does the dishes
And how was your day ?
Is that woman still trying to do your head in ?
A man told me to beware of 33
He said : "It was not an easy time for me"
But I'll get through even though I've got no miracles to show you

I'd like to make this water wine, but it's impossible
I've got to get these dishes dry
I'll read a story if it helps you sleep at night
I've got some matches if you ever need a light
Oh I am just a man but I'm doing what I can to help you

I'd like to make this water wine, but it's impossible
I've got to get these dishes dry
And I'm not worried that I will never touch the stars
'Cause stars belong up in heaven and the earth is where we are, oh yeah

And aren't you happy just to be alive ?
Anything's possible
You've got no cross to bear tonight
No not tonight, no not tonight

I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials

I used to try very hard to make friends with everyone on the planet
I've seen you havin' it, havin' it yeah, but now you've just had it
Entertainment can sometimes be hard when the thing
That you love is the same thing that's holding you down

This man is dangerous, he just shed his load on your best party frock
Before you enter the palace of wisdom you have to decide:
Are you ready to rock ?
Oh, can you party with me ?
Can you show me a good time ?
Do you even know what one looks like ?
And I don't need to hear your stories again
Just get on the floor and show me what you're made of
Just what exactly are you made of ?

Baby, you're driving me crazy (x 2)

I was having a whale of a time until your uncle Psychosis arrived
Why do we have to half-kill ourselves just to prove we're alive ?
I'm here whenever you need me and whenever you need me I won't be here
And have you ever stopped to ask yourself ?
If you didn't come to party then why did you come here ?
Why did you come here ?

Baby, you're driving me crazy (x 2)

And do you really want to know just how come you turned out so dumb ?
When the party is over will you come home with me ? (x 2)
Now the party is over will you come home to me
Will you come home to me ? (x 2)

Help the aged, one time they were just like you
Drinking, smoking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
Help the aged, don't just put them in a home
Can't have much fun in there all on their own

Give a hand, if you can, try and help them to unwind
Give them hope and give them comfort, cos they're running out of time

In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise ?
It's time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff although he's lookin' rough
Funny how it all falls away

Help the aged, 'cos one day you'll be older too
You might need someone who can pull you through
And if you look very hard behind those lines upon their face
You may see where you are headed and it's such a lonely place

In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise ?
It's time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff although he's lookin' rough
Funny how it all falls away

You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change
Can't run away from yourself, yourself

In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise ?
It's time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff although he's lookin' rough
Funny how it all falls away
It's funny how it all falls away
Funny how it all falls away (x 2)
So help the aged

You are hardcore, you make me hard
You name the drama and I'll play the part
It seems I saw you in some teenage wet-dream
I like your get-up if you know what I mean

I want it bad, I want it now
Oh can't you see, I'm ready now

I've seen all the pictures, I've studied them forever
I wanna make a movie so let's star in it together
Don't make a move til I say "Action"
Oh, here comes the hardcore life

Put your money where your mouth is tonight
Leave your make-up on and I'll leave on the light
Come over here babe and talk in the mic
Oh yeah I hear you now, it's gonna be one hell of a night
You can't be a spectator, oh no
You got to take these dreams and make them whole

Oh this is hardcore, there is no way back for you
Oh this is hardcore, this is me on top of you
And I can't believe that it took me this long
That it took me this long

This is the eye of the storm
It's what men in stained raincoats pay for
But in here it is pure, yeah
This is the end of the line
I've seen the storyline played out so many times before
Oh that goes in there, then that goes in there
Then that goes in there and that goes in there
And then it's over

Oh what a hell of a show but what I want to know
What exactly do you do for an encore ?
'Cause this is hardcore

Without you my life has become a hangover without end
A movie made for TV :
Bad dialogue, bad acting, no interest
Too long with no story and no sex

Is it a kind of weakness to miss someone so much ?
To wish the day would go away, like you did yesterday
Just like you did yesterday

And I can't think of a way to get through this pain
To be happy again to make it all alright
And I know it must be bad
Cos sitting here right now all I know is I can't even think
I can't even think of anything clever to say, to say
So I say : "Why pretend any longer ?
Cos I need you here with me
It's obvious that I miss you so much, so please say you're gonna stay
So please say you're gonna stay, so please say you're gonna stay

The night is getting darker now and there's nothing on TV
But I'll sit tight till morning light. yeah I'll wait until the day
Until the day that you say you're gonna stay

Hey man, how come you treat your woman so bad ?
That's not the way you do it, no no no
You shouldn't do it like that
I could show you how to do it right
I used to practice every night on my wife, now she's gone
Yeah, she's gone

You see your mother and me, we never got along that well you see
I'd love to help you but everybody's telling me you look like me
But please don't turn out like me
You look like me but you're not like me I know
I had one, two, three, four shots of happiness
I look like a big man but I've only got a little soul
I only got a little soul

Yeah, I wish I could be an example
Wish I could say I stood up for you and fought for what I thought was right
But I never did, I just wore my trenchcoat and stayed out every single night
You think I'm joking ? Well, try me, yeah, try me. yeah come on, try me tonight
I did what was wrong though I knew what was right
I've got no wisdom that I want to pass on
Just don't hang 'round here, no, I'm telling you son
You don't wanna know me, oh that's just what everybody's telling me

And everybody's telling me you look like me, but please don't turn into me
You look like me but you're not like me I hope
I have run away from the one thing that I ever made
Now I only wish that I could show you - wish that I could show you a little soul
Wish I could show a little soul (x 3)

Laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes
Like cartoons from other people's lives
I start to wonder what it takes to be a man
Well I learned to drink and I learned to smoke and I learned to tell a dirty joke
If that's all there is then there's no point for me

So please can I ask just why we're alive ?
'Cause all that you do seems such a waste of time
And if you hang around too long you'll be a man
Tell me 'bout it, you can get up to a hundred and ten
You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
And nothing ever makes no difference to a man

So you stumble into town and hold your stomach in
Show them what you've got though they've seen everything
Yeah you're a beauty but they've seen your type before
You've got no need but still you want, so go and book that restaurant
The wine will flow and then you'll just fly away

So please can I ask just why, we're alive ?
'Cause all that you do seems such a waste of time
And if you hang around too long you'll be a man
Tell me bout it, you can get up to a hundred and ten
You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
And nothing ever makes no difference to a man

So please can I ask just why, we're alive ?
'Cause all that you do seems such a waste of time
And if you hang around too long you'll be a man
Tell me bout it, you can get up to a hundred and ten
You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
And nothing ever makes no difference to a man
To a man, to a man, to a man
That's what I am

Here in the night love takes control
Making me high, making me whole

Here in the night love takes control
Making me high, making me whole
I don't know, oh no no no
No, I don't knwo, no no no no, no I don't know

When I close my eyes, I can see you lowering yourself to my level
I don't know where you got those clothes
You can take them off if it makes you feel better

Don't stop it now, now is so right
Now as the day slips away and we slide into the night
I don't know, oh no no no
No I don't know, no no no
No I don't know

I open my eyes and you're there, even better in the flesh it would seem
I'm so ready and willing and able it's untrue
To act out this love scene and make my dreams come true

And how many others have touched themselves whilst looking at pictures of you
How many others could handle it if all their dreams came true
I don't expect you to answer straight away, maybe you're just having an off day
But I need to believe in you
Yes I do, yes I do, oh

I want you here in my heart, here in my head
Live all of your dreams for tonight here in your bed
I don't know, no no no, no I don't know

So roll the soundtrack and dim the lights cos I'm not going home tonight
This love scene has begun, there's nothing left for us to do but get it on

Lets make this the greatest love scene form a play no-ones's thought up yet
I know you're feeling the same as me but what you gonna do about it
Now here's an exclusive: I wanted you for years
I only needed the balls to admit it
When the unbelievable object meets the unstoppable force
There's nothing you can do about it

No, I will light your cigarette with a star that has fallen from the sky
Breathe in, breathe out, I love the way you move
Don't let anyone tell you any different tonight
You are beauty, you are class, you showed it all
But you still kept a little piece back just for me
A little piece back just for me, just for me
Oh, I don't know how you do it, but I love the way you do it
When you're doing it to me

And if this is a dream then I'm going tosleep for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life, for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life

You look just like Sylvia, well you look like her to me
The way she wore her hair then, oh, the way she used to be
I've not seen her for a long time, though I've heard she's still around
Her father's living with some girl who's a year younger than her
She's living in the country now, yeah, oh, she's trying to get better
Her beauty was her only crime, yeah, I remember Sylvia

So keep believing and do what you do
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better
And please stop asking what it's got to do with you
Oh, keep believing cos you know that you deserve better
Who's this man you're talking to, can't you see what he wants to do
He thinks if he stands near enough then he will look as good as you
Oh, he don't care about your problems, he just wants to show his friends
I guess I'm just the same as him, I just didn't know it then
I never understood you really and I know it's too late now
You didn't ask to be that way, oh, I'm sorry Sylvia

So keep believing and do what you do
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better
And please stop asking what it's got to do with you
Oh, keep believing cos you know that you deserve better
Oh, it's true yeah

So please stop asking what it's got to do with you
Oh, keep believing cos you know that you deserve better
Yeah you know that you deserve better
Oh you know that you deserve better
Oh Sylvia

Come and play the tunes of glory
Raise your voice in celebration of the days that we have wasted in the café
In the station
And learn the meaning of existence in fortnightly enstalments
Come share this golden age with me in my single room apartment
And if it all amounts to nothing
It doesn't matter, these are still our glory days

Oh my face is unappealing and my thoughts are unoriginal
I did experiments with substances but all it did was make me ill and
I used to do the I Ching but then I had to feed the meter
Now I can't see into the future but at least I can use the heater
Oh it doesn't get much better than this cos this is how we live our glory days, days
And I could be a genius if I just put my mind to it and I
I could do anything if only I could get round to it
Oh we were brought upon the Space-Race, now they expect you to clean toilets
When you have seen how big the world is, how can you make do with this
If you want me I'll be sleeping in, sleeping in thoughout these glory days

These glory days can take their toll, so catch me now before I turn to gold
Yeah we'd love to hear your story just as long as it tells us where we are
That where we are is where we're meant to be
Oh come on make it up yourself, you don't need anybody else and I promise I won't sell
These days to anybody else in the world but you
No-one but you, no-one but you, no-one but you

The dust has settled, replaced the bulbs in all the lights
I guess I'll get no sleep tonight
A revolution happened, oh sorry you haven't heard
We are the children of the new world
If you're quiet you can watch if you like
They say the future's beginning tonight
Whole empires will crumble, civilisations will fall
Lie on the bed, hear the sound of it all
No anger, no guilt and no sorrow
It sounds unlikely, I know but tomorrow you will wake up
To find that your whole life has changed
Although I know, but tomorrow you will wake up to find that you whole life has changed
Although nothing looks different a revolution took place

I love the way you do it, I love the way you put them on
You know the answers but you get it wrong, just to confuse things
Why did it seem so difficult to realise a simple truth ?
The revolution begins and ends with you

Now all the breakdowns and nightmares look small
Now we decide not to die after all
Because the meek shall inherit absolutely nothing at all
If you stopped being so feeble you could have so much more
The answer was here all the time you see
Just how I missed it, is a mystery to me
I have waited and waited for this day to arrive
The revolution was televised, now it's over bye bye
It's over bye bye, it's over bye bye

Yeah, we made it
Just by the skin of our teeth Perfection is over, the Rave is over
Sheffield is over, The Fear is over, Guilt is over, please leave the building quietly
Bergerac is over, the hangover is over, Men are over, Women are over
Cholsesterol is over, Tapers are over, Irony is over
Bye bye bye bye
