Step Into The Mantrap
01:33
|

Doesn't matter, because she's always got an answer
Accept your fate
Doesn't matter because she coved every angle
No choice, you stay
And no matter what you do it's always the same
You're never in the right and you're always to blame
Feel it snap as you step into the mantrap
Feel it snap as you step into the mantrap
And sooner or later your time's not your own
Less time with friends and more time alone
Pretty much you have to agree
She's right you're wrong
And if you're lucky she might set you free
You're weak and she's strong

Little town in Yorkshire
Growing up was torture
Don't you think you oughta'
Try and cross the border
Don't you think that you should set you sights a little higher?
Don't you think that you should set you sights a little higher?
Don't you think that you should set you sights a little higher?
Don't you think, don't you think, don't you, don't you, don't you think
Married to a local girl
Centre of your little world
Don't you think it makes her sad
You live with your mum and dad?
You should set you sights a little higher

I got something over you
Something about which you got no clue
It's amazing where you can hide a camera
Around the back of your bedroom mirror
You might like to reconsider it
You might like to reconsider
You might like to reconsider it
Cause that's quite a compromising position
When you're making decisions
O what I saw
You've got your back up against the wall
Maybe a promotion, maybe a raise
I'm gonna use it one of these days
O it's quite a mess that you made
And does your wife know about those stains?
So hard to explain
How they got there, how you paid

Beware Of Sarah
01:32
|
|||
We never, never, never really knew Sarah
She was clever, clever, clever
I told you to beware of her
She had plans for me
Plans you didn't see
And she's quite the scheming type
Behind her posh school smile
Did we ever, ever, ever really know Sarah?
She was clever, clever, clever
I warned you to beware of her

I caught you looking as you were kissing him
I know it's hurting and I'm getting under your skin
I don't you think it's time he heard the truth
It's time you told him about me and you
Because I'm the kind of guy that makes you happy
He's the kind of guy that makes you sad
You should know what to do
You should know what to do
You should know what to do
You should know what to do
And making promises I know you just can't make
And all the time you tell me everything is A OK
When I'm home alone and you're both having fun
And yet you tell me I'm the only one
Just go round and tell him all about it...

We have got big plans for you
You will boost our revenue
Off the peg off the shelf
You will increase our wealth
Don't be stupid
It's a lifetime opportunity
A manager, a lawyer and a label
You're part of a pedigree stable
With a manager, a lawyer and a label
You're part of a pedigree stable
And we also know a man who does a good line in PR
Yes we have big plans for you
You will see our point of view
Anytime anywhere
We can make the public care
We have got big plans for you
You will boost our revenue

Those where the days when I dreamt of the ways
I'd imagine the times I'd look back on my life
And see what I made
What can you see, when you're staring at me?
What I am now is that how you thought
I'd turn out to be?
I don't see anything of me, I don't see anything of me
I don't see anythign of me, in anything I see
I don't see anything of me, I don't see anything of me
I don't see anything of me, or what I thought I'd be
I don't see anything of me, I don't see anything of me
I don't see anything of me, you're an exception to the rule

This is where the trouble begins
When girlfriends start moving in
And everyone's "responsible”
And no-ones going out anymore
Crowds start dwindling
And no-ones really listening
And no-one really gives a shit
No matter what you do with it
You're finding out the hard way
When friends start acting their age
Promoters are scratching their chin
Cause you're not really packing them in
And all the kids are 25
And need to be in work by nine
This is where the trouble begins
This is where the trouble begins
This is where the trouble begins
This is where the trouble begins
You're finding out the hard way
You're finding out the hard way
You're finding out the hard way
When friends start acting their age

Two Faced
01:53
|
|||
I got life from the judge and jury
Because they didn't hear my story
And I got wise to the way you were feeling
And your insider dealing
I don't like you and I don't want to be two faced
I got life for a crime I didn't commit
Something I never did
I am still right
Even though I said I was wrong and I wrote it out in a song
I don't like you and I don't want to be two faced
I don't like you and I don't want to use toothpaste

Small Town Beauty Queen
01:26

Prettiest girl in the village until you moved into the town
But the boys pay no attention and it really gets you down
Prettiest girl in my eyes until I moved in to the town
But all the girls I'm kissing are really getting you down
Don't go to the city
Don't go to the city
Don't go to the city
You moved back to the village and you put on 20 pounds
You married a guy called Steven he's the only guy around
And now you spend your weekends slagging off the town
Where all the boys are stupid and they really get you down

An Apology For Joanne
01:59
|
|||
Joanne, I wish I'd been more of a man
I wish I had read all the signs
That you were giving me at the time
Joanne, I hope that you did understand
I was just a t a tender age
That's why I was never so brave
And if I could go back
I'd change the way I'd act
I wouldn't let you down
By acting like a clown
Joanne, I heard that you found your man
And maybe it's for the best
But you can't help your regrets

Call Of The Wild
02:04
|
|||
A simple list of things to pack
Surely you can manage
Where did you put the map?
How will we get back?
I think I've seen that tree before
I don't like this anymore
What did I come for?
I hate the great outdoors
So let's be reasonable
Because we are very far from home
Ahhh
The call of the wild
Ahhh
The call of the wild
Ahhh
The call of the wild
And I need much more leg room
Sorry if I walk fast
But this is my normal pace
It's not that bad
If we return to base

What I am now is that how you thought

I don't see anything of me, I don't see anything of me
I don't see anythign of me, in anything I see
I don't see anything of me, I don't see anything of me
I don't see anything of me, or what I thought I'd be
I don't see anything of me, I don't see anything of me
I don't see anything of me, you're an exception to the rule
