Lovers of Life, Unite, Unite. Lovers of Life, Unite! Not going down without a fight. So Lovers of Life, Unite. Cos if you've given up on trying Then you're really only dying. I was sick from a hole in the pit of my soul And it took a while to come around So I held it close like a hardship Dosed with whatever I found But I was young and cool and clever And I was gonna live forever. So when your gold and silver schemes fall apart around the seams And someone's stepping on your dreams. Just live. Then when, as life is bound to do, it all starts going wrong for you, You'll find the last thing you can do Is say you did. Lovers of life, Unite.

NoseDive 02:46
I could follow you all day. Like the time we ran round Moricambe Bay. Don't you know I'll come around? Every morning, I come around. I could stay with you all night. Til we find a way to make you feel alright.# Don't you know you'll come around? Every morning, you come around. So NoseDive. Don't you know you've got to stay alive to see What this world can be

So I walk through the door Point my face to the floor And I leave. But I don't have a clue. When I'm over the hill I'll look back for you still And I might shed a tear, maybe two But to climb that hill with you, It would simply spoil the view So I stand with my load Point my thumb to the road With a sign that says "Don't care where to" When I'm over the hill I'll look back for you still And I might say a prayer, maybe two But to climb that hill with you, It would simply spoil the view.

Gold 02:06
Seventeen years old, with eleven weeks to go But you're Gold. But you don't get gold for nothing. Standing in your rows. With your faces passport photos. But you're Gold. But you don't get gold for nothing. Cos you were out there on your frontline While I was hiding from the sunshine When we were listening to Nevermind Years of saying no, means you never seemed to grow. But you're Gold. But you don't get gold for nothing. Ninety-Six years old, with eleven more to go. But you're Gold. But you don't get gold for nothing. Cos you were Mummy's little soldier. But with a face a few years older. You'll still be waiting for life to unfold. But you're Gold.

My Hypocritical Friend stayed with me last night. She turned up after 10, so she wouldn't have to fight with a man, she doesn't understand. She's not part of his plans. My Hypocritical Friend. My Hypocritical Friend does this every week. She turns up at my door, when she's far too drunk to speak. But I love her, when she rolls up in my covers, and I don't want another Hypocritical Friend "I've had a bottle of wine, So can we save this for another time?" Is all she seems to say "I've had a bottle of gin, You know I want you but I'm still with him" That's when I should've walked away. My Hypocritical Friend stayed with me last night. We had that talk again, about how I'm always too polite. But I'm just a man, who doesn't understand how I'm not part of her plans. My Hypocritical friend.

Sit tight. Sleep right. Things we said we could do if we never came down. The Sun. The Moon. All disappearing too soon. Things we said we could do if we never came down. Wah Wah Wah Wah. Born in a storm. Lightning keeping us warm. Things we said we could do if we never came down. Lost in your forest at night, Waking up and feeling alright. Things we said we could do if we never came down. Hey man you've been stuck inside, With the past and the future passing you by. There's a storm outside but it's not too late. You can change the world but the world won't wait for you.

Profiteroles 03:34
Today was a tough one, if truth can be told, Til you came around and knocked my door. The sight of your skin Can let us begin the same old show. Today was a rough one, and I want you to know That never before have I felt so low. The sight of you smiling. I want you to stay before you go. Darling, can you stay the night? Cos with you it feels alright when it's cold outside. Today was a tough one, if truth can be told, Til you came around here with profiteroles. Darling, can you stay the night? Cos with you it feels alright when it's cold outside.

Zeus 03:31
Today I woke up smiling, With the warm sun on my face. I woke up to face an empty house. And I found you downstairs. The other day I burst out laughing For the whole damn world to see. Oh angel, angel, what you're you doing to me? I thought a healthy cynicism would always get me through. But the world has seemed to changed since then, And I've got to blame you. The other day I started smiling for the whole damn world to see. Oh angel, angel what're you doing to me? By the beard of Zeus I do believe this is happening to me There's probably something up the devil's sleeve But I'll just wait and see

In this city I need to settle down. In this city I need to go to ground. But it's good to see you girl, it's been a while. In this city, I need to find a way. In this city, I need a place to stay. But it's good to see you girl, it's been a while. But sane girls, Sane Girls Are Boring. After all of this, a gentle kiss seems tame. Sane girls, Sane Girls Are Boring. So I'll just make the same mistakes again, again, again...

Paintwork 03:42
Like a moth to a flame, a hundred miles away When it moves each day. Ok. Imagine the surprise Through half-closed eyes, no-one dies. It's an idiot's demise. But you've seen it all You've got a thousand photos on your wall But you're killing time Til they all fall away And blu-tack stains the paintwork where they lay. Don't forget, but don't forget today. So I bring out the old line I haven't had the time And cash flow's tight. Alright. I'll just sleep until I'm fine. But you've seen it all You've got a thousand photos on your wall But you're killing time Til they all fall away And blu-tack stains the paintwork where they lay. Don't forget, but don't forget today.

Here's a song about Amsterdam, Here's a song about Rome. Here's a song about smiling when we wake and aren't at home. Here's a song about Portugal. Here's a song about Spain. Here's a song about dancing in our T-shirts in the rain. Here's a song about bicycles. Here's a song about cars. Here's a song about driving out at night to see the stars. Here's a song about Amsterdam. Here's a song of Malmo. Here's a song about Let's do all this stuff before we go. Here's a song about Amsterdam. Here's a song of Carlisle. Here's a song about getting through your weekdays with a smile. Here's a song about Amsterdam. Here's a song of Glasgow. Here's a song about Let's do all this stuff before we go. I want to play with matches. I want to take my chances. I want to go where you don't go. Get thrown in at the deep end. I want to fill my weekends. I want to know what you don't know. Here's a song about Amsterdam. Here's a song of Glasgow. Here's a song about Let's do all this stuff before we go.
