Songs by The Wedding Present and Cinerama that start with the letter B
Bad Thing
And when I kissed her, she tasted of beer
She said she was nervous about being here
She said "I don't usually do
The things I'm doing with you"
She said "I lied and I felt like a swine"
I laughed as I opened a bottle of wine
And when I offered her some
I said "Oh why have you come?"
She said "I don't think you should be so disparaging
I'm still a good person, just doing a bad thing"
When it's over we lay on the bed
She sighed disappointedly and then said
"I wasn't expecting this (but did I really)
Shave my legs just for this (it wasn't even nearly)"
"I don't think you should be so disparaging
I'm still a good person, just doing a bad thing"
Barefoot In The Park
That smile on your face as you awake
Oh, it just makes my heart ache
Let's lie all day here in the dark
And watch "Barefoot in the Park"
And it's because you’re so sublime
That I think about you all the time
Don't ask me if it’s true
Because how could anybody not love you?
You open my lips with your thumb
You know I will succumb
When you shave my skin I don't feel pain
And I just can't explain
How it's because you're so sublime
That I think about you all the time
Don't ask me if it's true
Because how could anybody not love you?
And the world before I met you
I can't remember now, what was that like?
Because you, you're so beautiful
Just hold your body close to mine
Oh that feels so divine
You're every single dream I’ve had come true
I'm so glad I found you
Yes it's because you're just sublime
That I think about you all the time
Don't ask me if it's true
Because how could anybody not love you?
And the world before I met you
I can't remember now, what was that like?
Because you, you're so beautiful
There is no part of you that I dislike
Oh what would I do without you?
This is all because you didn't like my mam
Well I'm afraid that I can't get born again
Oh it's not just me who's changed
And can you tell me what it is you think I said
Are you sure that it's not just in your head
And when was this anyway?
And if we're really, really going to be honest
We might as well be brief
And by the way I got your little note
Along with a sudden dryness in my throat
When I saw that it came from you
Oh was it really too hard to tell me to my face
That you don't long for my embrace
The way you used to do?
And if we're really, really going to be honest
We might as well be brief
And with so many people in the room above
That was the weirdest place that I've ever made love
I was so sure you were trying to impress
That my heart stopped dead when you slipped out
Slipped right out of your dress
I knew that you would say yes
Yeah, what if we'd been caught?
I never gave it a thought!
Everybody wants to know
How every party seems to become my show
They ask me why my life is never dull?
I just say: "Because…"
"Because I'm beautiful…"
Oh I’m sure there's no man you can't pull
But that was just a joke!
I saw his face when you spoke
And when the conversation turns to sex
You always say something no one expects
And that's exactly why I love you
That's why I can't get enough of you
You're unconventional but it's not intentional and that's the greatest thing about you
You're a premium bohemian and I couldn't live one day without you
So beautiful!
I'm sure there's no girl you can't pull
But that was just a joke!
Well I saw her face when you spoke
And when the conversation turns to sex
You always say something no one expects
And that's exactly why I love you
That's why I can't get enough of you
You're unconventional but it's not intentional and that's the greatest thing about you
You're a premium bohemian and I couldn't live one day without you
And that's exactly why I love you
That's why I can't get enough of you
You're unconventional but it's not intentional and that's the greatest thing about you
You're a premium bohemian and I couldn't live one day without you
I'm not sure and I'm not asking
But I thought I heard you say
"I just walked past him"
But why can I never do anything before you go?
I don't know
And outside the streets are empty
There was no time then
And now there's plenty
Oh why do I never get a chance to say a word
When you're on your own?
If there's nothing that I want more
Why do my steps get this small
When I reach your front door?
And I wait outside for you to come back out
And your light goes out
You don't know me but I'm still here
And God the last time I saw you
You were, oh, this near
And there's a thousand things I wish I'd said and done
But the moment's gone
I know you've put those big boots on because they're kind of scary
You're an Amazon, you're a mercenary
And your boyfriend's gone but I'm still far too wary of you
I don't know why because my body's aching
You only have to sigh and, well, my hands start shaking
Oh, I've got to try, because my heart is breaking in two
It's just that I don't know what to do
You scare me stiff
You scare me stiff
You like to play, it's true, that's why you're always winning
Well I could do that too, just let me start at the beginning
Because I'm just as good as you when my head isn't spinning like this
Because you don't know me, there is no reason why you should do
But there are things I've got to see and if you want to come, you could do
You say that you agree but if I walk away now, would you be sad
Or would you just think "That's too bad"?
You scare me stiff
You scare me stiff
You scare me stiff
You scare me stiff
And there's something I've got
To tell you and I'm not
Sure how to put it in words
I had a feeling you might
Have guessed that something's not right
Maybe you've already heard
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Oh please don't start crying
I've not been lying
I just didn't tell you it all
We just talked but then she
Stopped smiling when she
Asked me to give her a call
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I'm a big rat but I get scared
When you start talking like that
Why won't you see that she meant
Absolutely nothing to me?
I can't remember just what
Happened next but I'm not
Sure I even had any fun
Oh, she's amusing
But I was so scared of losing you, well
After all that I've done
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I'm a big rat but I get scared
When you start talking like that
Why don't you see that she meant
Absolutely nothing to me?
I'm a big rat but I get scared
When you start talking like that
Oh why can't you see that she meant
Absolutely nothing to me?
I don't think I've ever mentioned this before
But I couldn't possibly love you any more
Oh it's been ages
Let's not do that again
I think you said that when you wrote to me
I'm not as certain as I ought to be
I lost the pages
It didn't seem to matter then
There's lots of things I should have kept
But there was so much I could not accept
I watched some film round Alexandra's place
But I kept seeing your blue eyes in her face
I tried to call you
But you must have left by then
And you know that stuff about your being here
I changed my mind, oh, I just want you near
I don't have to own you
I just want you home again
There's lots of things I used to say
But that all changes from today
I'm just some name in your book
That's why you gave up writing weeks ago
You won't be getting in touch
Oh do you ever?
I meant every word that I said
Did I try too hard oh, I don't know
You made sure it wouldn't happen again
Oh you're clever!
Yes I was that naive
Yes I was that naive
You've heard this all before
You've heard this all before
I'm just some name your book
That's why you gave up writing weeks ago
You won't be getting in touch
Oh do you ever?
Yes I was that naive
Yes I was that naive
You've heard this all before
You've heard this all before
I still can't believe
I still can't believe
That's all you took me for
That's all you took me for
Why do you say you care?
Well you don't show it
And you know it just isn't fair
You just need someone to blame
Well 'someone' is not me
But I know he'll be just the same
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
I don't know what to believe
Last night you held me
Today you tell me you're going to leave
Oh, you've got so much to learn
Go if you must go
Oh but I know you'll return
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
You'll come bouncing, bouncing back to me
Well yes, it’s late; the waiter’s stacking the chairs
But, never the less, just wait, I don’t think he
really cares
And if we leave now I’ll be kicking myself all week
because we get so few chances to talk just like this
And I would regret just saying: “See you,” because
this is something that I really miss
So I aim to detain you for as long as I dare
You just
don’t get it at all, do you? Boo Boo!
The reason I call is that I still love you
Your eyes are glistening as you fill my glass to the
brim
And though I despise listening to you talk about him
Seeing you being with that man is much better than
not seeing you at all
And you can’t leave
Not when we’ve been having such a ball
You just don’t understand, do you? Boo Boo!
That tonight was all planned because I still love you
The reason I call is that I still love you
No, I sent you that letter
To ask you if the end was worth the means
Was there really no in-between?
And I still don't feel better
I just wondered if it could be like before
And I think you just made me sure
But then that's typically you
And I might have been a bit rude
But I wrote it in a bad mood
I'm not being funny with you
But it's hard to be engaging
When the things you love keep changing
Brassneck
Brassneck.
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
First time you came over
Do you remember you saying that you'd stay for good?
No I didn't think you would
Well we couldn't have been closer
But it was different then, and that's all in the past
There I've said it now at last
You grew up quicker than me
I kept so many old things
I never quite stopped hoping
I think I know what this means
It means I've got to grow up
It means you want to throw up
Brassneck
Brassneck
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
I just decided I don't love you anymore
Oh I know, you weren't listening, were you?
Oh just go, whenever you'd prefer to
I said it means a lot, when you use an old phrase
But then so what? We can’t have it both ways
I know; you're not bothered, are you?
Even so, I'm not going to argue
He won't object! Keep writing to me
Just don't forget you ever knew me
I don't like this any more than you
But there is something I really have to do
I've stayed much longer than I should
You want me to ring? Well did I say I would?
Okay I did but I'm not
Don't you think at least that we've
Shared one great night whatever you believe?
I'll go, while we're still feeling good
I don't want to write, there's no reason why I should
Well there is but I'm not
Watch the bubbles floating away
I've got to get out
Got to do it this way
And nothing you can do is going to make me stay
Watch the bubbles floating away
I've got to get out
Got to do it this way
And nothing you can do is going to make me stay
And please don't think that just because I'm
Here in your bed I do this all the time
Last night I already knew
I should be sorry I said some of the things I said to you
I should but I'm not
Watch the bubbles floating away
I've got to get out
Got to do it this way
And nothing you can do is going to make me stay
Watch the bubbles floating away
I've got to get out
Got to do it this way
And nothing you can do is going to make me stay
