Songs by The Wedding Present and Cinerama that start with the letter C

California

Let's go to California now
We've got to cross this great big world somehow
Don't say "No"
We must go

You're scared you'll make some big mistake but I forgive you
This is a risk you have to take and I'll be with you
And I'll hold you
I told you

Leave all your cares and fears behind
There should be one thing on your mind
Don't say "No"
We must go

Don't put any clothes back on
That's just how
I'll remember this day when we've gone
But right now

That's just the weirdest thing I've heard
Oh but I'm ready, just say the word
And I'll hold you
I told you

Anything you want to do
I just know
That I'll want to do it too
But we must go

Anything you want to do
I just know
That I'll want to do it too
But we must go

Careless

And by the way, I'm sorry for calling you loose
Oh, well, but look who you chose to seduce
OK, well, none of those things I said were true

Now I regret, continuing with the pretence
Because it just doesn't make any sense
Because I'd still like to be, well, friends with you
So please don't ignore me, that'd be really the end
I just lost a lover; I don't want to lose a friend

That would be careless
That would be careless
But I'm not still in love with you
No, I'm not still in love with you

And I'm sure that together we can make this work
As long as I stop being a jerk
As long as you stop indulging his every whim

Because I know I could put up with all of this mess
Just to see you wearing that dress
You know I'll be here when you're through with him
No please don't ignore me, that'd be really the end
I just lost a lover; I don't want to lose a friend

That would be careless
That would be careless
But I'm not still in love with you
No, I'm not still in love with you

That would be careless
That would be careless
But I'm not still in love with you
No, I'm not still in love with you

Carolyn

Just before you go today
There's something that I've got to say
Well you asked me what was wrong
And I didn't want to tell you

You believed me when I said I tried
But oh, Carolyn, I lied
And it's gone on far too long
And I never tried to help you

But don't wait up for me
Just don't wait up for me

It isn't quite the way you think
How low do you suppose I'd sink?
We couldn’t bear to be apart
Oh I'm sorry that I said that

But come on now let's not pretend
We both knew we were near the end
I don't want to break your heart
But we just cant turn the clock back

But don't wait up for me
Just don't wait up for me
No more

Cat Girl Tights

I could hardly believe I was hearing your voice at first
It's been such a long time; I was starting to fear the worst
And in your last letter you talked about meeting some strange new men

I began to think I might never see you again
So now I feel so much better

I have missed you so much I don't think a single day's gone by
When I've not thought about you

And how we spent those winter nights just sat by the fire, you in your 'cat girl' tights
And we talked forever about the things you were going to do
And I was so sure that, when all your dreams came true, we'd still be together

You moved away; I didn't mind because I'm not one of the things that you've left behind
Tell me it's true

I have missed you so much I don't think a single day's gone by
When I've not thought about you
You moved away; I didn't mind because I'm not one of the things that you've left behind
Tell me it's true

Catwoman

No I'll just lie here in your warm fur
Oh look, I'm trembling still
I didn't mean to hurt her
Oh but I guess I will

Because the pussycat in you
Brings out the man in me

Oh no I told her last night
She said "I don't care!" (I'm joking, of course)
But you know something's not right
Well, for a start, I don't feel any remorse

But how can I resist
When she doesn't even know you exist?

You know I never made love
Like that before
There's nothing else to think of
I just want more and more

Because the pussycat in you
Brings out the man in me
Hey!

Click Click

I really need to ask you whether
You and I can sleep together
I guess I never thought it mattered
Now, suddenly, I'm feeling flattered

Here's every last bit of me
No in-between
Just take whatever you see
I need you to love me
And no one could mean
As much as you do to me

(Come to me)
I want to breathe the air that you breathe
(Come to me)
I want to follow you when you leave
(Come to me)
I want to take you home and hide you
(Come to me)
I always want to be inside you

Every last bit of me
No in-between
Just take whatever you see
I need you to love me
And no one could mean
As much as you do to me

Every last bit of me
No in-between
Just take whatever you see
I need you to love me
And no one could mean
As much as you do to me

Every last bit of me
No in-between
Just take whatever you see
I need you to love me
And no one could mean
As much as you do to me

Every last bit of me
No in-between
Just take whatever you see
I need you to love me
And no one could mean
As much as you do to me

Every last bit of me
No in-between
Just take whatever you see
I need you to love me
And no one could mean
As much as you do to me

Every last bit of me
No in-between
Just take whatever you see
I need you to love me
And no one could mean
As much as you do to me

Every last bit of me
No in-between
Just take whatever you see
I need you to love me
And no one could mean
As much as you do to me

Close Up

And so exactly what went on between you two?
The night was hot; I was away from you
It's time to confess; did you wear your red dress? Oh, I knew!

You're forgiven now, but I still need to know
Just tell me how and tell me slow
Did he undo your bra; did he make it that far, yes or no?

Again, oh please just tell me again
And this time don't fail to give me every last detail
I'm sincere, I really do want to hear
What was in your head when you had a stranger in our bed?

And did he touch you there and did it feel like bliss?
And did he stroke your hair; tell me about every kiss
And when he made you come, was it more thrilling doing something like this?

Again, oh please just tell me again
And this time don't fail to give me every last detail
I'm sincere, I really do want to hear
What was in your head when you had a stranger in our bed?

Come Play With Me

Take a look at this note
I can't throw it away
No please read it
It's something she wrote
Just to ruin my day
Now do you understand?!

Are you sure you want to hear?
Well, she stormed out of the flat
No I don't care
It's not her I miss
She was always doing that
Oh she can stay there

But you should've seen the smile
When she said "Should I go
Should I walk out?"
We sat for a while
I didn't say yes or no
But we'd just run out of time

No, I'm sure that she meant
Every word that she said
But there are no more
Excuses to invent
Again and again
Just a closed door

And we couldn't go on
And no one's to blame
These things happen
I didn't need anyone
Until the day that you came
And I looked in your eyes

When I saw you
When I saw you
When I saw you
When I saw you

It's over, oh it's over, it's over, yes it's over
Now come play with me
It's over, oh it's over, it's over, yes it's over
Now come play with me
It's over, oh it's over, it's over, yes it's over
Now come play with me
It's over, oh it's over, it's over, yes it's over
Now come play with me

Comedienne

You know that I've had my suspicions all along
Well would you be here now, if something wasn't wrong?
Your heart broke, and you still joke
Because you're such a comedienne
But that creep made you weep
Don't laugh it off again

Oh just forget the things he said
And get into bed

He never loved you and deep down you know I'm right
If you don't want to go back home just stay the night
Oh I'm not joking
Because you're the comedienne
No I mean it, I've seen it
And now I want to see you smile again

Oh just forget the things he said
And get into bed

You want to leave him and you're looking for excuses
That's why you're here, I guess us old friends have our uses
But we could, oh we should
Lie down here, you won't regret it
Stay near me, do you hear me?
Oh, I'm sincere, now come and get it

Oh just forget the things he said
And get into bed

Convertible

You know that I could make you very happy and I warn you now that he won't call
Sure, he said he'd try but he talks so much crap, he never means what he says at all
Oh, yes her, I'm still with her
But, I guess, I'm always convertible
Just flick the switch and I'm yours

I don't want a friend because I've got friends already, I just want to go back home with you
I won't pretend because I'm more than ready, oh please say you feel it too
Oh, yes her, I'm still with her
But, I guess, I'm always convertible
Just flick the switch and I'm yours

“Oh, yes I hear what you're saying
But I'm afraid you're not staying
Because I'm not as naive as you believe”

“Oh, yes I hear what you're saying
But I'm afraid you're not staying
Because I'm not as naive as you believe”

(Yours
Just flick the switch and I'm yours
Yours
Just flick the switch and I'm yours)

“Oh, yes I hear what you're saying
But I'm afraid you're not staying
Because I'm not as naive as you believe”

(Yours
Just flick the switch and I'm yours
Yours
Just flick the switch and I'm yours)

Corduroy

And now I've kissed you, I'll show you how I've missed you
Before you even say a word, I already heard
No, someone told me, but don't speak now, just hold me
You wandered up a cul-de-sac, and now you've come back

So did you leave him? I'm sure you didn't deceive him
Just the same you're here today, wanting to stay
Have I upset you? Well I tried hard to forget you
Now you say "Look, I came, let's try again..."

I'll make you laugh, when you see this photograph
It's not from that day, I threw all those away
Its just some boy, probably dressed in corduroy
He grew up fast, but you've not changed at all

How can I trust you? No, I'm not trying to rush you
But I was here when you ran; I don't think I can
I won't desert her and I'm not about to hurt her
I worshipped you once before, and you slammed the door

I'll make you laugh, when you see this photograph
It's not from that day, I threw all those away
Its just some boy, probably dressed in corduroy
He grew up fast, but you've not changed at all

Crawl

Everyone here could be a millionaire
Just take these wings and fly up into the air
Oh, you're wondering where you heard this before
It wasn't really like that

This man is certain that this place is his home
It's time for him to crawl back under his stone
Oh remember when he said this before?
But it wasn't really like that

I'm not even sure if we can still be just friends
You stopped me once and you could do it again
Okay, you're right, I haven't changed from before
But it wasn't really like that

Just listen now instead of thinking over things I said
Oh, years and years ago
I stole and of course I lied, yes to you
But you must see why you couldn't just be told
There were some things I had to do
Say that again and I'll kill you!

Crushed

Somewhere, sometime
I've got to say this somehow
Oh no, it's fine
I couldn't face it just now

Oh, please don't use that voice
I think I've made my choice
I'd change it if I could
Oh, you know I'm crushed inside
Goodness knows I've tried
I think I've had enough

Oh no, I swear,
There's no one else I promise
The 'phone? Up there
But please don't leave here like this

Oh, please don't use that voice
I think I've made my choice
I'd change it if I could
Oh, you know I'm crushed inside
Goodness knows I've tried
I think I've had enough

You're late, been where?
Worried sick about you
Alright, take care
I'm sorry that I hurt you

Oh, please don't use that voice
I think I've made my choice
I'd change it if I could
Oh, you know I'm crushed inside
Goodness knows I've tried
I think I've had enough

Crusoe

You can't start a sentence like that and not end it
You can't write a letter like that and not send it
If you look away again I
Might ask you to explain why

You haven't really told me anything
The silence when you hold me is deafening

You can't get a 'phone call like that and not tell me
You can't lie with him in our bed and not smell me
If you look away again I
Might ask you to explain why

You haven't really told me anything
The silence when you hold me is deafening
