Songs by The Wedding Present and Cinerama that start with the letter D
Dalliance
You've told him lies now for so long
Yet still he's ready to forgive
He's got you back and that's all he wants
It's a lot more than I'm left with
You don't care
Now that you're gone
But you know
How much I miss you?
It's not fair
After all you've done
That I'm so...
I still want to kiss you
And throwing presents straight away
Because you could never take them home
Always scared what he might say
But always leaving me alone
You don't care
Now that you're gone
But you know
How much I miss you?
It's not fair
After all you've done
That I'm so...
I still want to kiss you
You told him what he wants to hear
And so you got another chance
But I was yours for seven years
Is that what you call a dalliance?!
You don't care
Now that you're gone
But you know
How much I miss you?
It's not fair
After all you've done
That I'm so...
I still want to kiss you
Dan Dare
(instrumental)
And there's one more thing just
Come inside, no I'm all alone
Danny isn't here today
She said she had to get away
It's on your right, just by the telephone
She promised that she'd try and ring
So far I haven't heard a thing
I'm glad you came round though
There's something I must know
You shook your head and you walked away
I think you'd maybe had a row
I know you wouldn't leave him now
But the things you said as you turned my way
The look that came into your eyes
It kind of took me by surprise
And you can't have not known
I'd be here on my own
Stay all night; I dare you
Look who is going to know?
I can't believe you want to go!
Yes alright, I scare you
But you're just as bad as me
And I know where I'd rather be
Are you calling John? Well tell him anything!
Look how we tremble when we kiss
One day soon we'll laugh at this!
But just tonight, we've got everything
Stop listening for the door
I told you where she went before
Nothing can go wrong
If you're not here too long
Just stay all night, I dare you
Look who is going to know?
I can't believe you want to go!
Yes alright I scare you
But you're just as bad as me
I know where I'd rather be
And when they're out with all his friends
He just forgets that she's even there
And when they're out with all his friends
He just forgets that she's even there
He's got his name on peoples lips
He crushes fingers in his grip
And of course he shows that he doesn't care
If he chances to overhear
"Have you seen her without make up?"
And "I don't think he's had much luck!"
At home, she tells him little lies
Like onions always make her cry
And when they're out with all his friends
He just forgets that she's even there
And when they're out with all his friends
He just forgets that she's even there
Don't Laugh
I never thought I could live here on my own
But then I guess everybody's got to live somewhere
Four tins of paint made this our home
Oh I got less on the walls than I got in my hair
When we moved in here the dog was still a pup
Do you remember the time he chewed those curtains that we found?
I laughed the day you put them up
The day you left I tore them down
Don't laugh, don't even sigh
I touched your skin last night
But your half of the bed was empty
So I guess I must have dreamt it
I don't know why
Don't laugh, don't even try
I touched your skin last night
I didn't fall asleep 'til morning
And then the next day I couldn't stop yawning
Oh how I try
These bedroom walls are paper thin
You took a side in every neighbours' row
And those kids next door make such a din
But sitting here it seems ever so quiet now
He didn't see me, he sort of looked uneasy
But I'm sure he didn't guess
Oh, he's never liked me, and yes okay it might be
A bit better if you left
Oh was it me who said that? No please, come straight back
You've got to stay with me somehow
Well say you missed your train
What have you got to gain by leaving here right now?
If you're worried he's so near you might as well go back
You were never here, oh why would I say that?
Look everybody lies about this
Don't talk, just kiss!
If you're worried he's so near you might as well go back
You were never here, oh why would I say that?
Look everybody lies about this
Don't talk, just kiss!
I want to wake up near you, oh yes of course I hear you
But you're just about to row
Well put yourself above him, look if you really loved him
I don't think you'd be here now
Oh come on what do you care? He's probably not even there
Oh yes I'm sure he'd sit and wait
It's just whenever you touch, oh God I want you so much
And you can't say it's too late
If you're worried he's so near you might as well go back
You were never here, oh why would I say that?
Look everybody lies about this
Don't talk, just kiss!
If you're worried he's so near you might as well go back
You were never here, oh why would I say that?
Look everybody lies about this
Don't talk, just kiss!
Don't talk, just kiss
Don't talk, just kiss
Don't talk, just kiss
Don't talk, just kiss
Don't Take Me Home Until I'm Drunk
The heavens were alive with stars
She pointed out which one was Mars
Lying arm in arm against an old tree trunk
She used a phrase of Holly Golightly’s from
‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’
She said: “Don’t take me home until I’m drunk. Very
drunk indeed!”
We talked about a second date
She said that meeting me was fate
And, though I don’t believe in that crap, I said:
“Yes”
We both knew where the night would end
But when we kissed, I won’t pretend, I still shook
with apprehension, I confess
And then I said: “I could fall in love with you”
But, as I recall, she said: “I like you too”
And that little word was the warning sign
That little word meant she’d never be mine, as I
discovered the next day
A text on my phone saying:
“I don’t know whether I mentioned him last night, but
I’m getting back together with my old fiancé
I’m sorry, by the way”
And, when I think about that night, I wonder if
perhaps I might not have done every single thing I could
But, deep down, I know I was blind; she just used me
to make up her mind
But if I had to do it all again, I would
And then I said: “I could fall in love with you”
But, as I recall, she said: “I like you too”
Yeah, I could fall in love with you
But as I recall, she said: “I like you too”
Don't Touch That Dial
Don't say a word, don't make this even more absurd
Anyway your eyes confirm what I already knew
More than all your words could ever do
Oh I'll survive I guess, I'm just feeling powerless
Well when the one thing that you most adore is just about to walk out of the door
OK you're sure it's time to go but I'm begging you not to walk away,
Is there really nothing I can say to keep you here?
Please don't just disappear
Is there some way that I can change somehow?
'Cos I don't think I can live without you now
Dreamworld
I don't know how many times that I've tried to warn you
How many times I've heard you laugh and say,
"Underneath it all, he's okay"
And how many times have you rang and sworn
You'd given him one last chance and he’d let you down
But then he'd call and you'd go back round
You know I still care because you only have to phone me
And I'll be over there
Why can't you see just what he's doing to you?
Is it all because of him? Well of course it is
And I hate to see you like this
You just won't understand
You don't want to listen do you?
It’s just because it's not what you like to hear
You ask me and to me it's clear
You know I still care because you only have to phone me
And I'll be over there to lick your wounds
You know I'll always be here for you
You say you feel left out
Well I know exactly how to cure you
You just can't go on pretending
You just can't go on pretending
You just can't go on pretending
You just can't go on pretending
You just can't go on pretending (You don't understand)
You just can't go on pretending (You don't want to listen do you?)
You just can't go on pretending (It’s just because it's not what you want to hear)
You just can't go on pretending ( You ask me and to me it's clear)
You just can't go on pretending
You just can't go on pretending
You just can't go on pretending
I'm on my way right over there to lick your wounds
You know I'll always be here for you
You say you feel left out
Well I know exactly how to cure you
You know you make me want to shout
Oh just tell me what is new, girl
You say you feel left out
Well you are living in a dreamworld
You drive, no, no, I want you to
Because I've only one thing on my mind
And I don't dare
Don't these bends hold any fear for you?
Well my friends are suddenly all left behind
But I don't care
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know
Just tell me when we get there
You're fast, I have no doubt of it
It's a blast and I would go anywhere with you
Just say
Don't stop, don't even consider it
You're on top and girl that is just where I want you
To stay
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know
Just tell me when we get there
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know
Just tell me when we get there
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know
Just tell me when we get there
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know
Let's just go
