Songs by The Wedding Present and Cinerama that start with the letter H
Hard, Fast And Beautiful
It's a letter that I started writing
When you walked out
It says that I won't miss you
Because I’ve met someone who's more exciting
But that wasn't true
So how did I lose you?
The last thing you ever wanted to do was to hurt me
But I'd still accuse you
And I couldn't know
I'd never feel the same way with another
So I let you go
Yeah, I've got a girlfriend
She's beautiful, considerate and yes, I do love her
But I'm not going to pretend
That she’s ever going to be the one
Because now I know that it was you all the time
How could I ever think it wasn’t true?
Now I've stopped trying to tell myself that I've
Grown out of being in love with you
And deep in the night
I lie awake and think about you
Of course it’s not right
But what can I do?
I can't sleep in this bed without you
If you only knew
Yeah, I've got a girlfriend
She's beautiful, considerate and yes, I do love her
But I'm not going to pretend
That she's ever going to be the one
Because now I know that it was you all the time
How could I ever think it wasn't true?
So now I've stopped trying to tell myself that i've
Grown out of being in love with you
Now I know that it was you all the time
How could I ever think it wasn't true?
Now I've stopped trying to tell myself that I've
Grown out of being in love with you
Hate
I'm glad you agree you've got so many things to say sorry for
But listen to me because I'm not going to take it all anymore
There was a time, don't ask me when, it made sense, somehow
But, darling I'm just so glad that I can see clearly now
Because I hate your lies and the guys you call friends
In fact just everything's telling me this is where the love affair ends
I should say goodbye but I don't think I will, it might slow you down
Oh you'll get by, just start a new life, in some other town
Oh please don't cling, take whatever you want, oh yeah, I'll agree
To anything that keeps you a long way away from me
Because I hate your style and your smile and I regret
That almost everything about you makes me wish that we'd never met
We are just so wrong for each other
That it's hard for me to understand
How I ever wanted you for a lover
I hate your country, your continent and
I hate your lies and the guys you call friends
In fact just everything is telling me this is where the love affair ends
I hate your style and your smile and I regret
That almost everything about you makes me wish that we'd never met
Health & Efficiency
And we ate peaches in this very place
The juice was running down your face
I poured coffee from a flask; it tasted funny
And then we tried to make love by this lake
I remember you began to shake
And I was far too scared to ask if you were coming
We bought 'H & E' because we thought it was dirty
It's strange just how innocent it all looks today
We tried to imagine ourselves naked at thirty
But that always seemed such a long way away
We looked for mountaintops to climb
Just because we needed things to fill our time
We were young and free, and boy, did we abuse it
But everything was so clear-cut
And this is such a cliché but
You don't appreciate the joy until you lose it
I was jealous and mean; you were fragrant and flirty
It's strange just how innocent it all looks today
We tried to imagine being together at thirty
But that always seemed such a long way away
I tried to call
You'd just gone out
We've got to talk
You going to be about?
Oh you don't have to tell me where you've been
It's bad enough I know you were with him
What made you want to take him there?
What made you think I wouldn't care?
And did you walk from the town into the heather
To where we used to lie down when we were together?
No, I walked by, I sort of knew
I don't know why, maybe ask you
You don't have to tell me lies today
I saw him sat there waiting anyway
But what made you want to take him there?
What made you think I wouldn't care?
And did you walk from the town into the heather
To where we used to lie down when we were together?
And I know I said I wouldn't be the one
But an empty bed, your clothes all gone
I didn't know how much I'd miss you until now
I didn't know how much you mean to me somehow
What made you want to take him there?
What made you think I wouldn't care?
And did you walk from the town into the heather
To where we used to lie down when we were together?
Ahhhh!
Heels
Oh I wish you wouldn't let
Me read the letters that you get
Well, yeah, he's just a fool
But that doesn't make it any less cruel
But I can't look away
Especially when you say
You haven't read them yet
Cos there's someone else that you've already met
He says he misses you
But thinks you've been untrue
But he won't intervene
With your masterplan whatever that might mean
But he can't understand
Why you got so offhand
You crushed him with your heels
And I know exactly how he feels
And I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
And I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored
You need a paramour
Someone to pluck your eyebrows for
And if no-one wants to play
Well, you'll probably stay in bed all day
But have you ever paused
To calculate the pain you've caused?
You say you want to live
But one day, something's got to give
I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
And I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored
I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored
Honey Rider
Oh I'm sick of hearing you say
That you can't phone because he'll hear you calling
But don't you think the way
That you're treating us both is quite appalling?
Oh, sure, you nearly told him everything
But nearly doesn't mean a thing
I know you don't want to row
Oh but you think you're just so clever
Well, I'm waiting now
But I won't be waiting here forever
Oh, sure, you nearly told him everything
But nearly doesn't mean a thing
And you know full well I'm right
And if you won't say a word, I might
Because you've had thousands of chances
To tell him his romance is
Not exactly what he'd call true
I know the strain that you're under
But I've started to wonder
If one lover is sufficient for you
Oh, sure, you nearly told him everything
But nearly doesn't mean a thing
If you don't talk to him until I force you to, I will
Because you know full well I'm right
And if you won't say a word, I might
Because you've had thousands of chances
To tell him his romance is
Not exactly what he'd call true
I know the strain that you're under
But I've started to wonder
If one lover is sufficient for you
Hot Pants
(instrumental)
You said there's nothing that turns you on more
Than waking up with
Someone you've not woken up with before
And you said that sometimes you'll try things for fun
And you just don't care who with
Well that is exactly what I've just done
She's just a hula doll and that is all, how does that demean you?
It was just a dance, there's no romance
I've not even spoken to her yet
For God's sake, don't make me choose between you
Oh you're hurt but I'm just a flirt
I've done nothing I should regret
I just kissed her
I couldn't resist her
I kissed her
I couldn't resist her
I kissed her
I couldn't resist her
I kissed her
I couldn't resist her
