Songs by The Wedding Present and Cinerama that start with the letter T
Take Me!
I spent all day trying to decide
About the things that you said last night
Did they mean nothing
Or were they filled with hidden clues?
And can you really have stayed 'til three
Orange Slices and that Fall LP
I feel so lonely when I get back from seeing you
And when someone brings up your name
I can feel myself begin to change
Oh it's like a panic
And a rushing sound in my head
A huge weight pressing on my chest
And now I spend hours trying to look my best
But I still meet you the day before I wash my hair
Oh won't you put that down and take me, I'm yours
When will we have this chance again?
Oh please just put that down and take me, I'm yours
We might never have this chance again
That must've been a knowing look
Oh when you moved to pass your friend his book
And oh that feeling
When your hand returns to mine
I think I might as well stay out here
Oh but, can you kiss me just once properly
Well of course I mean it! I think about you all the time
Oh won't you put that down and take me, I'm yours
When will we have this chance again?
Oh please just put that down and take me, I'm yours
We might never have romance again
Warm hands and things you say
You get lovelier everyday
Warm hands and the things you say
You get lovelier everyday
Thanks
I bumped into Joe on Victoria Road
And he told me something
About last weekend, he knows your new boyfriend
He said he saw it coming
And those letters I wrote, so now I know
What you do with them
Well of course he looked, you sliced me up
And then showed it to him
He's changed around the posters on your wall
And finished all but one glass of your wine
His head's been on the pillows that I bought
And now he's seen me say, "I love you" all those times
And the old photos in the silly clothes
There must be much more
God, the poems I sent and that massive dent
I left in your door
I don't want them back, you can burn the lot
I just feel betrayed
Well it's been this long and all the flesh has gone
But the bones remain
And he's changed around the posters on your wall
And finished all but one glass of your wine
His head's been on the pillows that I bought
And now he's seen me say, "I love you" all those times
I still can't get mad with you, no matter how I try
I still can't get mad with you, no matter how I try
The Girl With The Curious Smile
She moves and speaks with so much grace and poise
It's as if she's on stage
She flirts like crazy and really enjoys it
Should never ask her age
She always carries her iBook but she
Never seems to work
Things aren't always that clear cut, she
Tells you when to smirk
Now you want her even though
She's obviously not your style
Everybody wants to know
The girl with the curious smile
When she invites you to stay
That's your signal to go
You don't wanna hear what I say
But believe me, I know
Now you want her even though
She's obviously not your style
Everybody wants to know
The girl with the curious smile
(The Moment Before) Everything's Spoiled Again
Have I said something wrong?
How can I know if you're not going to speak to me?
There I am, in your eyes
We're only playing, but what am I saying
What am I saying?
What am I saying?
Oh there's no one like you, no one like that now
There's always some way that you could bring me down
Maybe it's just that I fly too high, that the ground is hard
It always hurts me
When I fall over sideways and break out in sores and people start laughing
But it's not what I'm into but
I don't expect you to know
I don't expect you to know
And when the sound of your laughter is getting too hard and people start staring
But nowhere is better than lying down here with you
Oh and no one is supposed to know how I feel
But I don't expect you to know
I don't expect you to know
Oh. it's just that I don't want you to go
It's just that I don't want you to go
Oh don't leave me alone again
I never wanted that again
Oh don't leave me alone again
I never wanted that again
The One That Got Away
Last time I saw her we stood arguing in the rain
But I'd have been perfectly happy to have never seen her again
But then she walked in this room, I can still smell the perfume
She was wearing Prada and three inch heels
We talked for an hour or so and then there is a lull
That's when I asked her just how she got to be so beautiful
And then we buy another drink and I say 'well, what do you think?'
She just started laughing and said 'In your dreams!'
'Remember me, I'm the one you left behind
For God knows who
So did she turn out to be the peak of womankind?
Or did you leave her too?'
And then she said 'Did you really think that I’d give you another chance?'
I suppose so, and like if I did would you give me a second glance?
'No, cos you’re shallow and you’re cheap
And still waiting to meet somebody better – I know what you do'
'Remember me, I'm the one you left behind
For God knows who
So did she turn out to be the peak of womankind?
Or did you leave her too?'
She's a mixed up girl from a different world
She's come, come, come, come, to a yellow sun
When she began she was a man
Go, go, go, go, like a dynamo
She's my colonel spider
You know she's a deep space rider
I feel beautiful beside her
She doesn't need air; she can breathe anywhere
Come, come, come, come and you can have some
We like to chase through outer space
Go, go, go, go, you know
She's my colonel spider
She's a deep space rider
I feel beautiful beside her
She's my colonel spider
You know she's a deep space rider
I feel beautiful beside her
I feel wonderful beside her
(Me to her)
It’s been in my head but I’ve never said anything to
you before
And to simplify, well, I’ve been living a lie but I
can’t lie anymore
So I’m going out here on a limb; I don’t want to
pretend
Because the thing I like best about him is his lovely
girlfriend
(Her to me)
I was fine until this all unfurled and, yes, I’m wild
about you
But you’re asking me to change my world and that’s
not something I can do
I didn’t intend to steal my friend’s girlfriend, but
well then is it theft
When we both know that I would treat you so much
better if you left?
(Her to me)
I thought that this was all just in my head
Sure, it’s appreciated, but if he heard what you just
said he’d be completely devastated
(Me to her)
I’m not making this up on a whim, believe me, I know
it’s wrong
I went to all those boring things with him just in
case you came along
I‘ve tried so long to find a girl like you and all
the time you were right here near me
I know you say he loves you too but, oh, you’ve got
to hear me
So I’m going out here on a limb; I don’t want to
pretend
Because the thing I like best about him is his lovely
girlfriend
(Her to me)
Why didn’t you say that you felt this way?
This is all just too surreal
And I’m going to need time because right now I’m not
sure how I feel
Well, yes it’s true, I might’ve thought about you,
but it all seemed quite unreal
Yes I’m going to need time
The Trouble With Men
You walked right up to me with such a knowing smile
That I’d fallen for you already, by the time you’d
kissed the man stood at my side
And, yes, I’m used to being someone whose chances are
quite slim
But I still imagined seeing you leave the room with
me instead of him
You’re far too gorgeous for me and I know that if you
talk to me then I’ll raise my hopes up again
And I will spend all weekend wondering if you could
be my girlfriend
Instead of loving my wife and getting on with my life
So there I go again
I guess that’s just the trouble with men
Which brings me to you
Don’t say: “Hello”
You’re far too gorgeous for me and I know that if I
talk to you then I’ll raise my hopes up again
And I will spend all weekend wondering if you could be
my girlfriend
Instead of loving my wife and getting on with my life
This Boy Can Wait
Let me stay and talk with you and John
We could laugh and tell jokes all night long
Another glass and I'm sure I could explain
But you could maybe guess that I've got to see your friend again
Oh, yes I know it's late
Oh but this boy can wait
Oh, this boy can wait
Oh, there's nothing more that you could do
I've just got to see this through
My heart beats so fast whenever you are near
My tongue gets tied up whenever you can hear
When I touch your hand, why do we have to hide behind these doors?
If the world doesn't understand, then the world has got to learn
Oh, yes I know it's late
Oh but this boy can wait
Oh, this boy can wait
Oh, there's nothing more that you could do
I've just got to see this through
Tonight, when I hold you in my arms and I prove that I'm a man
Oh, well I hope you understand
This Isn't What It Looks Like
Well I forgot you said you'd be home at this time
And I know it looks like I'm
Doing things I shouldn't be
But I'm not, so please calm down and don't shout
I was just trying to help her out
She's upset and she came to me
I know she's got a model's face
And she walks with poise and grace
But that's not why she's in our flat
She phoned, she said she needed time to think
I asked her round here for a drink
There's nothing more to it than that
This isn't what it looks like
Just listen please before you strike
Can't we just go back to how we were?
Because I don't feel anything for her
I didn't know she said her blouse had come undone
I didn't ask her round for fun
I'm not doing this for the perks
I'm not going to sit here and pretend
That she's not a special friend
But I know how your mind works
This isn't what it looks like
Just listen please before you strike
Can't we just go back to how we were?
Because I don't feel anything for her
Yes I want to, I'm down here on my knees
Well why can't you just think about it please?
I'm yours
She's mine
Two's company
But three have a better time
We've got a mountain to climb
You're so right, we get what we deserve
And that's just why, you've got to have some nerve
I'm yours
She's mine
Two's company
But three have a better time
No, it isn't a crime!
There's no hurry, we can make this slow
And don't worry, no one has to know
I'm yours
She's mine
Two's company
But three have a better time
We've got a mountain to climb
We're going to have a good time
And it isn't a crime
Tie Me Up
It's almost unfair that someone should be quite so stunning
When they said that you'd called for me I came running
Your perfect hands
Those few loose strands of hair that are out of place,
Falling across your face
Your fingertips, your eyes, your lips
The minute I closed the door you caressed me
Then pulled me down to the floor and undressed me
You tied my hands and whispered commands
Then my whole body shook as you began to suck
I cried your name and then I came
You own me, you own me and I'll do anything
You own me, you own me and I'm not arguing
Anything that you want to do, I'll do it
I'm completely enslaved by you; I'll do it
Anything that you want to do, I'll do it
I'm completely enslaved by you; I'll do it
You own me, you own me and I'll do anything
You own me, you own me and I'm not arguing
Two Girls
You are perfection personified
While, frankly, she's undignified
Trust me she disgusts me, she dares me, she scares me
She bites me, excites me, annoys me, destroys me
And if I say you're beautiful and kind
I can hear her laughing in my mind
Because she mocks me, she shocks me, she sours me, devours me
She chokes me, provokes me, she hates me, she devastates me
I didn't plan on falling for two girls at the same time
I didn't plan on lying to you, listen darling, I'm
Really trying to ignore her but she just slips into my head
Don't you think I'm feeling guilty? Well that's not what you said
And you're right, she wears disgusting clothes
And she chews her hair in ways I loathe
But she charms me, she harms me, she fights me, delights me
She breaks me, she takes me, she eats me, she defeats me
(I just fell in love with two girls)
I didn't plan on falling for two girls at the same time
I didn't plan on lying to you listen darling, I'm
Really trying to ignore her but she just slips into my head
But don't you think I'm feeling guilty? Well that's not what you said
