Songs by The Wedding Present and Cinerama that start with the letter N
I haven't heard this song in years; it never fails to start the tears
A country lane and the smell of pine, a stripey blouse and some cheap English wine
And my dad's car would never start but one 'phone call rescued two love hearts
And did I splash mud on your coat?
Yeah, you wore mine and I got cold
Just what went wrong?
You never said just what went wrong
You never said just what went wrong
We've got some good friends still in Manchester
Sometimes I think I'd like to live back there
Oh, that was just embarrassing; at times I say the most stupid things
And then your name's still mentioned next to mine
That's what you hated at the time
I know I said that it just couldn't last but people get used to things so fast
Just what went wrong?
You never said just what went wrong
I've walked behind you for more than an hour
I don't even think that I know this part of town
I think I'm trying to find a way to talk to you again
I think I'm trying to find a way to bring you back again
Oh, won't you please come back again?
Oh no my life had not begun ‘til your call
Was it only yesterday?
I can't believe the things we've done since then
And how I love the way you taste
But does it have to end right now?
Well can't you stay for another day?
Just say you're ill and come back out
I'll meet you here, then we'll disappear
I've got this feeling, oh it's like nothing I know
You sent me reeling and I don't want you to go
Don't say a word, it's almost light
I'll always remember how you look right now
We must have talked and talked all night
All I heard was
I've got this feeling, oh it's like nothing I know
You sent me reeling, and I don't want you to go
Nickels and Dimes
Why are nickels bigger than dimes? I can't stop pondering
I've begun this letter a thousand times, my mind keeps wandering
I should say it was great to see you
I'm so glad you had a wonderful time
You made home seem very near but darling I
Don't think you should come back here and okay here's why
It's not your fault, you just remind me
Of the life I'm trying to forget
Until I put it all behind me
I'm asking, no I'm pleading, will you let
Me go somewhere I've not been?
I bet you know exactly what I mean
Because you said yourself it's like we're walking off on two completely different paths
So why are nickels bigger than dimes
Why are nickels bigger than dimes?
No
Why can't you pick up the telephone?
Oh I know that you're at home
I'm really past caring how you think
I just want to know about him
And you're so right, they don't miss a thing round here
And how do you think I feel?
Oh you can try but you're not getting out that way
You're just as much to blame
And if it didn't mean a thing
And you've told him to go
And if you're as sorry as you say
Why didn't you just say no?
It's strange that this room's so different now
Oh I didn't come to row
It's just this razor, he's left it on your shelf
I'll throw it out myself
And if it didn't mean a thing
And you've told him to go
And if you're as sorry as you say
Why didn't you just say no?
I wonder if you're going to ask me why I lied
I wonder if you're going to show you're angry with me
I wonder if I could explain this if I tried
I wonder if I'm going to know when you forgive me
When you forgive me, you forgive me, you forgive me
Will you stay with me, you stay with me, you stay with me?
And all those awful things you said at first
Don't shout, I understand, you're pretending
To punish me, well I'm listening so do your worst
I don't doubt that you're mad but it can't be ending
It can't be ending, it can't be ending, can't be ending
You're still pretending, you’re still pretending, still pretending
Don't say we've reached the end, you can't be right
For goodness sake you must know I care about you
Please stay my best friend one more night
I couldn't face another day alone without you
Alone without you, alone without you, alone without you
I care about you, I care about you, I care about you
Alone without you, alone without you, alone without you
I care about you, I care about you, I care about you
And when I called your house
I'm sure your sister thought that I was somebody else
I heard a laugh down the phone
And then the answer came that you weren't at home
You know I never go there
Because I hate to dance and you really don't care
Why don't you go on your own?
How can you lie there and say you'll come back alone?
Oh well that's fine, I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Oh well that's fine, I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Before we go back in
What about those secret smiles that you were giving to him?
Oh, just "somebody you met"
Well I go out of my way and this is the thanks that I get!
I'm just a slave to your greed
I'm not the kind of boyfriend that you need
But if you'd like me to go
You'll get no trouble from me, just so long as I know
Oh well that's fine, I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Oh well that's fine, I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Take it away Grapper!
Oh well that's fine, I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Oh well that's fine, I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
I don't love you anymore
Not From Where I'm Standing
Oh well of course I shouldn't be here watching people row
But it's just so scary knowing each word before it comes out of her mouth
And now that moment's here, when she tells him to go
And I pulled that very same face just seven days ago
And if I could live one day again
That day would be the one
And when he tells her it's all lies, she's making patterns with her spoon
And when he looks into her eyes, she's staring around the room
He's told for once and all that it's not just in her head
And now he's starting to take back all those things he said
And if I could live one day again
That day would be the one
I knew that something must be up
I'm not as daft as I might look
But if you can't be good, be careful
If you don't brush your coat, that hair will
Give the game away
I knew you'd think of going there
Oh I can lend you both the fare
But if you've got a choice then use it
You don't know what you need until you lose it
I've done the same myself
I wish you knew for sure
I don't understand you anymore
Before you slam that door
There's so much to lose and you will lose it all
Oh you will lose it all
You know that I'll always stand by
But don't ask me if I'll lie
I don't see any guilt on your face
I wouldn't like to be in your place
You don't know when you're well off
I wish I knew for sure
I don't understand you anymore
Before you slam that door
There's so much to lose and we will lose it all
Oh we will lose it all
