Cafe Disco

Lyrics:
Tell me all your guilty pleasures I’ll tell you mine
I’ve been singing a little song I like it’s called Summer of ‘69
You don’t like it
And if I say how you’re doing you say you’re doing fine
You were just a complex kid; you hadn’t done the things you did
We’ve got that one track that my god takes us back
To when summer went so fast, but those nights went on forever
And hearing your headphones ring out music on the school bus
You were a big fan of The Cure you were heaven
Down on the corner, they all know us, ‘cos they’re all like us
Down at the disco, Café Disco, just the place to stay
Yeh it’s all about the time you came down to the show
You said when we’re on stage, that more than the lights go
Oh you’re so romantic and I’m just across the room
I look at you with long hair and that cliché teenage stare
School, was so cruel to us
But something I’ve heard says that you’re pretty good with words
And the songs we made, had some harmonies made
‘Cos you were a big fan of The Cure you were heaven
Down at the disco, Café Disco, just the place
Down at the disco, Café Disco, just the place
Jenna and John got married, and this became their wedding song
Our parents said we should be outside on a sunny day
But we just kept dancing
Down on the corner, they all know us, ‘cos they’re all like us
Down at the disco, Café Disco, just the place to stay

Trip To The Moon
03:43
|

Lyrics:
Jeanne DeLemar, golden age star, died last night
All the A-List, once wished for a kiss from that leading light
It’s never been clearer, it’s the end of an era, we expect this kind of news
But the word’s gotten round, everybody’s gone down with the 21st century blues
There are some things we can’t stand to lose
And you’re older than me, and cooler than me, that much is true
But the way that you dress, I’d wager a guess that you feel it too
There’s an old cinema on the corner near mine, and the pictures play until late
And a single lamppost in a pool of light, you can swing around after your date
‘Cause they’ve a showing in our heroine’s honour, this Sunday at eight
So won’t you come
Take a trip to the moon
The roll of the projection reel will teach you how to feel again
No postmodern heart is immune
And as we’re hooked to the screen
Life will feel like what we’ve seen
Or could it actually be
That we’re in love?
And you’re older than me, and cooler than me, that much is true
But the way that you dress, I’d wager a guess that you feel it too
Oh, you feel it too
So won’t you come
Take a trip to the moon
The roll of the projection reel will teach you how to feel again
No postmodern heart is immune
And as we’re hooked to the screen
Life will feel like what we’ve seen
Or could it actually be
That we’re in love?

Lyrics:
Darlin’ I saw you around town today
Darlin’ (with your friends) You were looking so cool in your
Darlin’ (denim shirt) But when you saw me you looked away
Darlin’ I know we’ve had this talk before but
Darlin’ (I don’t think your) Friends would care if we were seen
Darlin’ (together) I wish you weren’t so popular and cool at our school
Cos baby when you look into my eyes
And when you come round and we play music through the night until sunrise
I don’t care what’s outside your bedroom door
Cos the fact is you’re the only one darlin’ that I could adore
Darlin’
Darlin’ romantics like us love to dance
Darlin’ (in the rain) But you told me that you love the sun
Darlin’ (all the same) and then you said goodbye once again
Darlin’ I’m tired of hiding what we have cos
Darlin’ (I‘ll be waiting) For the day to say that we can stay
Darlin’ (together) I just wish I was popular and cool and no fool
Baby when you look into my eyes
And when you come round and we play music through the night until sunrise
I don’t care what’s outside your bedroom door
Cos the fact is you’re the only one darlin’ that I could adore
Darlin’
Darlin’, there’s something about you my darlin’
That I struggle to say with words darlin’
A look in your eyes that says something
Oh baby when you look into my eyes
And when you come round and we play music through the night until sunrise
I don’t care what’s outside your bedroom door
Cos the fact is you’re the only one darlin’ that I could adore
Darlin’

Lyrics:
You are eyeing up your plastic mac
But me, my shirt is sticking to my back
Have fun, have fun, have fun in your workplace
Lick the paper and you'll understand
Why I told you they're my favourite band
Have fun, have fun, have fun in your workplace
You are eyeing up your plastic mac
But me, my shirt is sticking to my back
Have fun, have fun, have fun in your workplace

Rules For Travelling
03:33
|
|||
Lyrics:
This last year I’d quit my gambling
Shed my tears and closed the show
But then she came in wild and rambling
And speaking low, ‘You’ve been getting slow’
‘Boy, you’ve been getting slow’
Made me clear
On rules for travelling:
Check the bed for what’s in tow
The flag you drag, it keeps unravelling
Meaning you can go
Where you want to go
Wherever you want to go
You might hear from places we have been
On your squadron radio
Things appear that you can’t believe you’ve seen
The mighty glow lighting up your road
Right outside your home
I hit the joint
She makes the getaway, and that’s the way it is
And a light shines on the soul
as we bicker over how to share the gold
Yeah she came in to fear and trembling
But now we go
Where we want to go
Wherever we want to go
Yes we go
Where no-one’s meant to go

Johnny
04:38
|
|||
Lyrics:
I've got a place near town away from the city
Somewhere I like to stare out, to the warm streetlights
But I think this town is closing down
I get the train to my new job, cos I was told it's not far
But what does money mean, when all that you are, is grey spare rooms and a car
It's a cruel harsh world, but Johnny always smiled on through
We said, "there's nothing we'd rather do, than sing along with you"
Johnny, six feet tall with his long black hair
Johnny, his soul is out in the streets tonight
Johnny, you know that I hate to see you cry
Johnny, his life was singing in the streets all night
It might seem strange when I talk about the past
But Johnny used to wander round, clutching 'katy lied' in his hand oh what a band
It's been hard it's been tough, it's been miserable and rough
so maybe we should just take care of ourselves
let's make sure we look after each other
When we lost Johnny, he was just 23
I overheard some people saying, 'well he looked happy to me’
He wrote a lot of his songs with an American accent in mind
And so this story was a song, and the song was always going on - and on and on and on
Johnny, six foot tall with his long black hair
Johnny, his soul is out in the streets tonight
Johnny, you know that I hate to see you cry
Johnny, his life was singing in the streets all night
There's nothing, here to help, all of us stay, and I won't be going to my job today
The tall buildings, they got knocked down, to build some taller ones, closer to town
Now Johnny's gone, we don't want to stay, so we'll move out, and move away

Come Home
02:38
|
|||
Lyrics:
I’m looking up at the moon tonight
You’re working away and my god it’s been a long day
You call to say you’re looking up
When I answer the phone
So I’ve decided to tell you
to admit it to myself
I can’t get to sleep tonight without you
I woke up today
And you’d gone away
Now you’re all I seem to think about
Won’t you, come on home
Won’t you, come on home
We know we’ll be together tonight
Later today when the sun’s gone away
It wouldn’t seem that much to some
Just to be together at home
And I know that you have to go to work
Like I do too
But when you’re gone all I think about is you
I woke up today
And you’d gone away
Now all I seem to think about is you
Won’t you, come on home
Won’t you, come on home

Fall Out Of Grace
03:45
|
|||
Lyrics:
I used to sing in church in my hometown
People came to watch and pray from miles around
I guess I kinda miss it, but I tend to play it down
I mean it’s 2019
Now I’m writing in a pub nearby, built 1705
Took 300 years for all these people to arrive
The bar girl tells an old man ‘we don’t serve food til 5’
And I’m as glad as him to be alive
If you should fall out of grace (fall out of grace)
Don’t let the moment slip away
Just take a stand
For prayer over poison
Thinking, not drinking
And we’ll be okay
And it’s taking me a little time adjusting to a straight line
After this traffic jam of the heart
A north London schoolboy acting like a cowboy
Who slept through the audition for the part
And I’m writing in a flat somewhere,
And I love a girl who’s sweet and fair
And I only took this job on for a stupid dare
The winter’s finally breaking, I can feel it in the air
Come Easter-time I might just get back there
Chorus repeat
And so on with the show
But if you really want to know
Then I’ll tell you
I used to sing in church in my hometown
The people shaking hands when the man came ‘round
Remembering things you did in the way back when
And feeling like you’re doing them again

The Boy You Knew
02:09
|
|||
Lyrics:
I’m over here
On the other side
Can you hear me
I’m scared to let it out
Love that you’re about
Want you near me
Like a bird that never flew
I may never get it right
But you will see the boy you knew
If you’ll fly me home tonight
And I’ll never carry
My Love to your door
And I’ll never bury my love
I’ll sing it now once more
I’ll play the lead
But I can’t be what you need
And I’m sorry
If I get sometimes kinda down
I’ll always get back up
Don’t you worry
Like a bird that never flew
I may never get it right
But you will see the boy you knew
If you drive me home tonight
If you drive me home
