You Keep It All In lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : You know your problem You keep it all in You know your problem You keep it all in That's right The conversation we had last night When all I wanted to do was Knife you in the heart I kept it all in You know your problem You keep it all in You know your problem You keep it all in Midnight, a husband getting ready to fight A daughter sleeps alone with the light Turned on, she hears but Keeps it all in Just like that murder in '73 Just like that robbery in '62 With all these things that have happened to me I kept them all in Why do you keep on telling me now? You know your problem You keep it all in You know your problem You keep it all in That's sweet The conversation we had last week When you gagged and bound me up to my seat You're right, I do I keep it all in Just like that murder in '73 Just like that robbery in '62 With all these things that have happened to me I ke...

Woman In The Wall lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : He was just a social drinker but social every night He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four She was just a silent thinker, silent every night He'd enjoy the thought of killing her before Well he was very rarely drunk but very rarely sober And he didn't think the problem was his drink But he only knew his problem when he knocked her over And when the rotting flesh began to stink Cry freedom for the woman in the wall Cry freedom for she has no voice at all I hear her cry all day, all night I hear her voice from deep within the wall Made a cross from knitting needles Made a grave from hoover bags Especially for the woman in the wall She'd knitted him a jumper with dominoes on So he wore it everyday in every week Pretended to himself that she hadn't really gone Pretended that he thought he beard her speak Then at last it seemed that he was really winning He felt that he had some sort...

Window Shopping For Blinds lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : One day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke Spent all my money on whisky and coke Riding high 'till the rock hot the spoke It's like window shopping for blinds Spent all my money on a sunbed tan Spoke the best that a young girl can Ended up with a blind drunk man It's like window shopping for blinds It's like the heartbreak hotel, with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay The doors are shut on us, the neon lights fading to grey They say I drink too much, to me, well that's just profound How do you know you can't swim, until you have drowned? Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady Always a sip of the wine The glass doesn't seem quite so empty When window shopping for blinds It's like gatecrashing a field, that's not true, they've harvest they yield Save your tears for your evening meals, When you're window shopping for blinds One day ...

White Teeth lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : White teeth, white teeth Talent is rugged determination Skill is a little more dull Genius buggers straight conversation Makes sure that it's ass is full So good looking people don't write no poetry They're too busy holding their hands You don't go to beach for depth of thought If your brain's leaking grains of sand 'Cos white teeth are uglier than yellow teeth False gums never make plans Little stones hold big stories underneath But the big stones go to the dance The big stones go to the dance When model puts pen to paper Paper tends to turn to stone 'Cause original thoughts so hard to squeeze From a face so easy to clone So good looking people don't write no poetry They're too busy holding their hands You don't go to beach for depth of thought If your brain's leaking grains of sand 'Cos white teeth are uglier than yellow teeth False gums never make plans...

We Are Each Other lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : There's no more little secrets we haven't yet disclosed We bore the living daylights of anyone too close And all our cards at Christmas are written to us both Count them up who's got the most? Said we'd be close Said we'd work perfectly Said that we'd toast Beautiful company Closer than a sister to her baby brother Closer than a cat to the cild that she'll smother It's too close for a lover It's too close for a lover We are each other We are each other We've been through all positions and this one's definitely best You move Middle East and I'll move Wild West What happened to our friendship we could easily have guessed Add it up we're self-possessed Said we'd be true Said we'd be so so proud Just me an you We'd shout it out aloud Closer than a sister to her baby brother Closer than a cat to the cild that she'll smother It's to...

This Old Skin lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : It was '96 in south carolina, That's the place and not the goddam year Sittin on the porch out at bobbys place, Just tuggin on a lukewarm beer. And there I was peepin like an old sidewinder, Just an inch or so above the mud. The first to find out that it's rainin Is the last to find out it's a flood. It was paradise valley nevada, Not far from where the west was won. I am the only black face in the whole damn place Just a raisin in the blazing sun. And there I am like that old sidewinder, Just wishin that her eggs aint hatched. And the chain I wear has 'em wishin for the day when it came with a ball attached. [Chorus:] So I'm gonna move, right outta this town. This old skin stops weighin me down. This old skin. [Bridge:] He was sittin in the very same spot that otis sat to watch the dock of the bay... In the very same spot, that the ships rolled in. Now there's nothing but ...

There Is Song lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : There's a bench in every park dedicated to Those who sat there once but didn't make it through There are names carved deep in bark on every tree By those who spent their time like you and me And wherever geography may place you now There's a piece of history all folk carry around Whatever your situation, whatever it may allow There's an even larger piece in every lost and found There's a song There's always a song Wherever there's perfection There's a wrong There's always a song But a broken bond And an unkissed frog In every village pond There's a name that we graffiti'd up on a wall To the folks who live there now, makes no sense at all And in every underpass, on every street A promise someone made but couldn't keep A tiny piece of chalk in every coat In every film the smallest lump in throat In every song you've sung, every novel read That unkisse...

The Slide lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : When you're too old for the swings You tend to choose the slide And they never seem to warn you The slide's your final ride And when you're at the top of it And you cannot see the end Either don't let go son - Or grab the nearest friend The slide is no respecter of dignitiy or class As soon as you sit down on it The slide has got your ass Don't take the slide, don't take the slide Heroes and villains have tried and cried A pile of broken souls at the bottom it denied Don't take the slide, don't take the slide When the slide was invented A thousand drinkers sighed They thought they had the copyright Of the very word the slide It's a picture of innocence On which the innocent have fried Take the helter skelter son It's easier than the slide Advice to listening parents Or the father of the bride Let them marry anyone But don't let her take the slide Don't take ...

The Root Of All Evil lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : If euro replaces the pound It's still likely to be shiny and round Rich may switch the way they feel rich But not the man who's alive Or the man who has drowned Keeping pound only makes sense If you're worth more than 99 pence Those who have a lot and those who have not Remain francs marks pesetas or cents If money is the root of all evil What does that make lover of pound We'll be eating frogs and modelling clogs And you'll be hunting french And dutch with a hound Now a nation goes to the vote So our country has its name on the note Same set of people same boat Need their name in the back of their coat Heads or tails can't have been won On whose head graced whatever was spun If queen's head's not on money they've got It's still business and money's still fun If money is the root of all evil What does that make lover of pound We'll be eating frogs...

Prettiest Eyes lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : Line One is the time That you, you first stayed over at mine And we drank our first bottle of wine And we cried Line Two we're away And we both, we both had nowhere to stay Well the bus-shelter's always ok When you're young Now you're older and I look at your face Every wrinkle is so easy to place And I only write them down just in case That you die Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look Sitting on the prettiest eyes Sixty 25th of Decembers Fifty-nine 4th of Julys Not through the age or the failure, children Not through the hate or despise Take a good look at these crows feet Sitting on the prettiest eyes Line Three I forget But I think, I think it was our first ever bet And the horse we backed was short of a leg Never mind Line Four in a park And the things, the things that people do in the dark I could hear the faintest beat of your heart Then we did Now you're old...

Pretenders To The Throne lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : Is it Cologne with it's great cathedral? Milan with it's glamour and it's pace? London with it's river and it's bridges? Lisbon with it's beauty and it's grace? Funny looking buses Climb it's pot-bellied hills And a solitary jogger Times the time he kills Do you know where I'm gonna go? None of you have guessed, so none of you can know If you've been, that's not where I mean It's got class and it's got excellence like you've never seen Your town is dragging me down Dragging me down, down, down Your town is dragging me down Dragging me down, down, down Is it Dublin with it's culture and it's wit? Madrid with it's market square? Paris with it's bustling cafes? Hull with it's musical flair? Do you know where I'm gonna go? None of you have guessed so none of you can know If you've been, that's not where I me...

Pockets lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : (heaton/rotheray) Here comes pockets His trousers hold a thousand deadly sins The maddest things we ever found in bins He clutches them and looks at you and grins Here comes pockets The children wary of what they may contain The linen may have changed, the contents same A trouser-treasure island with no name And socially at the platform that the timetable forgot Picking up used tickets in a station of have-nots When youre on that train of thought You pass some pretty funky stops When youre on that train of thought You pass some pretty funky stops That's the pocket, let him be That's the pocket, let him be Here comes pockets Picking up the things we cannot see A bicycle, a dame, a christmas tree Things of no value to you or me Here comes pockets Reduced through history to just a crawl History turns the tall into the small But natural born trawlers love to trawl And the guitar of his dreams hangs upon...

Perfect 10 lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : She's a Perfect 10 But she wears a 12 Baby, keep a little 2 for me She could be sweet 16 Bustin' out of the seams It's still love in first degree When he's at my gate With a big fat 8 You wanna see the smile on my face And even at my door With a poor poor 4 There ain't no man can replace 'Cause we love our love In different sizes I love her body Especially the lines Time takes it's toll But not on the eyes Promise me this Take me tonight If he's extra large (That's Me) Well I'm in charge I can work this thing on top If he's xxl Well what the hell Every penny don't fit the slot All the anorexic chicks The model 6 They don't hold no weight with me Well 8 or 9 Well that's just fine But I like to hold something I can see 'Cause we love our love In different sizes I love her body Especially the lines Time takes it's toll But not on the eyes Promi...

One Last Love Song lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : I once had a friend who I loved from my heart But I went on and left her 'fore I'd made a start Now I'm moaning the blues like the rest of the charts Take me back So I'll cry with a limp Just get by on a limb Till these blue eyes of mine they are closed So here's to an old fashioned peck on the cheek And farewell my sweet Northern Rose Give me one last love song To bring you back, bring you back Give me one last video, just dressed in black, dressed in black Give him a chorus and that bit at the end Where he wails on and on 'bout the loss of a friend Let him scream loudly 'well this love could mend' Let it die, let it die Those bloody great ballads we hated at first Well I bought them all, now I'm writing worse Save us from baldness and saving the earth Take me back And I'll smile with a limp And I'll love with a limp Till the clouds disappear from abov...

Old Red Eyes Is Back lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : Old Red eyes is back Red from the night before the night before Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door Old Red's in town And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound Just adding to the winkles on his deathly frown They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed They're only red from all the women that I could've wed So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue They could never be blue Listen up Old Red You never listened to a word the doctor said He tould you if you drank another you'd be dead Old Red Eyes is back His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head They're only red from all the things I could have done instead So when you look into these ...

Nearer To God lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : (M. Greaves) I work in the steel mills Where the sun never shines The pounding of hammers is all mine And I've sailed this wide ocean For money and cod So far from my loved ones But nearer to God So sing a song for the working man And I'll sing you a love song And my name's Wild Bob Conroy I'm a hard man of old Now I'm a drinker Coming in from the cold I fought for the fighting And I fought for a wage And I fight for survival Like most men my age

My Book lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : This is my life and this is how it reads For every chapter, a thousand memories A murder, a mystery where everybody bleeds A fantasy, a thriller with romance and disease Diary entry 9th of May '62 We've had some ugly babies but none were quite like you Diary entry '62 end of May It looks as if the nose and chin are definiteley here to stay They're here to stay, they're here to stay If my lips start smiling and my knees start a-knocking I'm a failure You are, you are And if I seem half-hearted, it's because I'm broken hearted And I'm a failure You are, you are, you are (I am) You are, you are, you are (I am) This is my life and this is how it reads A documentary that nobody believes Albert Steptoe in 'Gone with the Breeze' Mother played by Peter Beardsley, father by John Cleese Diary entry '68 end of the year A cardboard Apollo 6 has given the all clear 11th De...

Manchester lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : From Northenden to Partington it's rain From Altrincham to Chadderton it's rain From Moss Side to Swinton hardly Spain It's a picture postcard of "wish they never came" And whilst that deckchair in the garden it makes no sense It doesn't spoil the view or cause offence Those Floridas, Bavarias and Kents Make gentlemen wear shorts but don't make gents So convertible stay garage-bound Save after-sun for later If rain makes Britain great Then Manchester is greater As you dry your clothes once again Upon the radiator What makes Britain great Makes Manchester yet greater From Cheetham Hill to Wythenshawe it's rain Gorton, Salford, Sale pretty much the same As I'm caught up without my jacket once again The raindrops on my face play a sweet refrain And as winter turns reluctantly to spring For the clouds above the city there's one last fling Swallows build their nests, ...

Love Wars lyrics song presented by Beautiful South : Love wars, love wars Love wars, love wars Absence makes the heart grow fonder But it's taking me under Since you're not here Its better when it's hard to get But this hide and go seek Well, it's making me weep I promise to stop boxing you 'round So don't scratch my face End of round eight We need to get our act together Take it off the street Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor Love wars (we don't need) Love wars Love wars (we don't need) Love wars The talks we had don't change a thing They only bring rain On top of pain Flash back and uncover tracks From when you left With my best friend We need to get our act together Take it off the street Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor Make love in peace And then never ever cheat Vow to be strong and let the band roll on Love wars (we don't need) Love wars Love wars (we don't want) Love wars Lo...
