Street Lites Lyrics By Pulp

Doorways / corners / and the street lights dance in your eyes
Behind the cinema / in the rain / in the subway
where the walls crumble and cover you in fine dust
'cos we haven't got a home to go to / touch me
on the back seat, on the top deck / talk dirty / on the back row
can you feel me / against you? / oh no / we shouldn't / we shouldn't
we shouldn't / I want to / ...mmmm... / What you gonna do
if you go home and he's not there?
it wouldn't be the same if we didn't know it was wrong / oh touch me
and then go wherever he takes you / oh yeah leave me
and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow
Someone wants to watch by the side of Alena Stores
in the doorway, in the rain / Did he see us? / Do you care?
Pull the night-time tight around us / and we can keep each other warm
while the cars drive by / en-route to dried-up dinners
and strip-lit kitchens and the smell of gas and potato peelings
What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?
it wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong / oh touch me
and then go wherever he takes you / oh yeah leave me
and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow yeah
We've got to go on meeting like this
I don't want to live with you or anywhere near you
I want to catch you unawares / undressing in front of a window maybe
impressed with those things I drive by / Did you see me?
Could you tell that I was watching? / Did it make it feel better?
Yeah, it was good for me too / Did you think about me?
Oh did you close your eyes? / Think that maybe
it was my hand that was touching you / my breath against your face?
and when you opened your eyes
did the world tip off its axis for a few seconds?
And you thought you'd caught a tiny glimpse of someone?
Something here with it's shoulders moving towards you?
Yeah I did too / and it felt good / and it felt good / and it felt good
In a strange kind of way
in a way that things that aren't supposed to feel good / sometimes do
oh take it away / yeah
What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?
it wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong / oh touch me
and then go wherever he takes you / oh yeah leave me
and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow
What you gonna do if you go home and he's not there?
it wouldn't be the same if you didn't know it was wrong / oh touch me
and then go wherever he takes you / oh yeah leave me
and I'll walk it off in the rain somehow.

She's A Lady Lyrics By Pulp

Are you trying to put me on? I turned around and it was gone.
Did I leave it in your car? On a table in a bar?
Or in your bed between the sheets? The places where we used to meet.
Wherever love has gone I need to know.
'Cos she's a woman,
Oh yeah, she's a woman.
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma she's a lady.
And I just love the way she moves, the way she moves, Watch her.
When you left I didn't know how I was going to forget you.
I was hanging by a thread and then I met her.
Selling pictures of herself to German business men.
Well, that's all she wants to do.
Come on, come on. I don't want to try too hard.
I don't want to wait too long.
I don't want to live alone with all this crap that pulls me down.
Oh, tell me now, how would it feel if I could touch you once again.
Where have you gone, where have you gone.
The moon has gone down on the sun, Oh yeah.
I know that you're coming home.
You wouldn't leave me on my own.
Everybody can't you see, she's coming back to me.
Whilst you were gone I got along.
I didn't die, I carried on & I went drinking every night just so I could feel alright.
Stayed in bed all day to feel OK. I felt OK.
Oh I felt sick & tired, yes I did.
She lived at her father's place, played his records though they jumped.
Wore her body back to front.
I tried hard to make it work,
kissed her where she said it hurt but I was always underneath.
She's a woman...[etc.]
I don't know why you pretend that it causes you pain
When you know very well you're going to do it again.
You're going to do it again & again & again
but can you keep it going all nite long?
I know it's going to happen.
It might not be today.
It might not be tomorrow or even the day after but some time soon
You'll see, you're going to come back to me.
Whilst you were gone...etc.
Whilst you were gone I got along. I didn't die, I carried on.
Oh yeah I went with other women, what else can I say?
I guess I kind of missed you whilst you were away.
Whilst you were gone. (stop).

My Lighthouse Lyrics By Pulp

Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment; well in fact / it can wait all day
I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see
the beauty of this situation that / you could share with me
It may seem strange / to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange / to me
Hey / All alone / you and I in our high tower
That's the way / to be
Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower
But I don't mind because I know / their envy grows by the hour
See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way
All this is mine; it could be yours too / what do you say?
It may seem strange / to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange / to me / Hey / All alone / you and I in our high tower
That's the way / to be / Hehehey hey.

Bar Italia Lyrics By Pulp

Now if you can stand I would like to take you by the hand, yeah
And go for a walk past people as they go to work.
Oh, let's get out of this place before they tell us that we've just died.
Move, move quick, you've gotta move.
Come on it's through, come on it's time.
Oh look at you, you,you're looking so confused just what did you lose?
If you can make an order could you get me one.
Two sugars would be great 'cos I'm fading fast and it's nearly dawn.
If they knocked down this place, this place, it'd still look much better than you.
Move, move quick, you've gotta move.
Come on it's through, come on it's time.
Oh look at you, you, you're looking so confused, what did you lose?
Oh, it's ok it's just your mind.
If we get through this alive I'll meet you next week, same place, same time.
Oh move, move quick you've gotta move.
Come on it's through, come on it's time.
Oh look at you, you, you're looking so confused, what did you lose?
That's what you get from clubbing it.
You can't go home and go to bed because it hasn't worn off yet
And now it's morning there's only one place we can go.
It's around the corner in Soho where other broken people go. Let's go.

The Mark Of The Devil Lyrics By Pulp

The mark of the devil is upon you
Your look is no happier than mine
Damnation is waiting in the mirror but you shouldn't mind
Their legs start a feeling in your stomach
Their eyes knock you backwards with a glance
Your pride sinks unnoticed in the river given half a chance
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
But you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
Smiles left unfollowed start to haunt you
Chances that perished long ago
The devil is waiting in the bathroom with your worthless soul
The years pull their weight down on your cheekbones
The nights out are hanging from your waist
The years float like dust held in the sunlight with an aftertaste
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
But you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
La la lala lala la la...
And your past is just a bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
And you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
And your past is justa bedroom full of implements of cruelty
And a list will bind your eyes as you grow old
And you want to join the laughter sharing simple shreds of feeling
But you fidget and your heart is growing cold
La la lala... Oh...

I Spy Lyrics By Pulp

I spy a boy, I spy a girl.
I spy the worst place in the world, in the whole world.
Oh you didn't do bad, you made it out, I'm still stuck here oh but I'll get out.
Oh yeah I'll get out.
Can't you see a walks among you seeing through your pretty lives.
Do you think I do these things for real?
I do these things just so I survive. And you know I will survive.
It may look to the untrained eye
I'm sitting on my arse all day
And I'm biding my time until I take you all on my Lords and Ladies
I will prevail, I cannot fail.
Cause I spy.
Oh I've got your numbers taken notes and all the ways your minds work out.
I've studied and your mind's just the same as mine except that you're just clever swines
You never let masks slip, you never admit to it, you're never hurried.
Oh no no no.
And every night I hold my plan how I'll get my satisfaction
How I will blow your paradise away away away ooh.
Cause I spy.
It's just like in the old days - I used to compose my own critical notices in my head.
The crowd gasps at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle
Skilfully avoiding the dog turd next to the corner shop.
Imagining a blue plaque above the place I first ever felt a girl's breasts,
the whole 'nana.
You've got to wait for the best.
You see you should take me seriously. Very seriously indeed.
Cause I've been sleeping with your wife for the past sixteen weeks
Smoking your cigarettes, drinking your brandy,
messing up the bed you chose together.
And in all that time I just wanted you to come home unexpectedly one afternoon
And catch us at it in the front room.
You see I spy for a living and I specialise in revenge
On taking the things I know will cause you pain.
I can't help it, I was dragged up.
My favourite park's a car park, grass is something you smoke,
birds is something you shag.
Take your year in Provence and shove it right up your arse.
Your Ladbroke Grove looks turn me on, yeah.
With your frightened eyes and roach burns under your eyes and addresses
And thousands of tiny dryna-slides running a path,
running a path to the corner of your eyes.
And every night I hatch my plan, it's not a case of woman v man.
It's more a case of haves against haven'ts and I just
happen to have got what you need, just exactly what you need yeah.
La la la la la la la la la la, in the midnight hour.
La la la la la la la la la la, I will come to you, I will come to you
I will take you from this sickness, dinner parties and champagne
I'll hold your body and make it sing again. come on - sing again, let's sing again.
Oh yeah, cause I spy, yes, I spy, ssss.
I spy a boy and I spy a girl.
I spy the chance to change the world, to change your world.

Pencil Skirt Lyrics By Pulp

When you raise your pencil skirt like a veil before my eyes
Like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies.
Oh I know that you're engaged to him.
Oh but I know that you want something to play with baby.
I'll be around when he's not in town, I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
I really love it when you tell me to stop.
Oh it's turning me on.
You can tell me some lies about the good times that you've had
But I've kissed your mother once and now I'm working on your Dad.
Oh baby, I'll be around when he's not in town
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
I really love it when you tell me to stop.
Oh it's turning me on.
If you look under the bed then I can see my house from here
So just lie against the wall and watch my conscience disappear.
Now baby I'll be around when he's not in town
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
I really love it when you tell me to stop.
Oh it's turning me on.
I only come here cause I know it makes you sad yeah.
I only do it cause I know you know it's bad.
Oh yes I know that it's ugly and it shouldn't be like that.
Oh but oh it's turning me on.

Fairground Lyrics By Pulp

As the signs outside proclaimed, nature sometimes makes mistakes.
Was it the mother or the father to blame, inside the damp grass and tilted tent?
As the signs outside proclaimed, nature sometimes makes mistakes.
Was it the mother or the father to blame, inside the damp grass and tilted tent?
Won't you come with me to the fairground?
Your head / will be spinning,
I said your head / is your feet.
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
at the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
The man has come between us, his cheeks rattle like a fence,
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
I sought shelter from the storm in a small inn by the coast.
In the children's room three identical sisters sat,
except for the one who was hideously deformed;
her grotesque features seemed to parody her sisters' beauty,
ridiculing and mocking everything I held dear.
Won't you come with me to the fairground?
Your head / will be spinning, / I said your head / is your feet.
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
at the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
The man has come between us, his cheeks rattle like a fence,
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
The fish-eyed foetus floated blankly in the yellowed waters, still as wax.
The man came between us, my sister and I,
ridiculing and parodying everything we held dear,
making a mockery of our former emotions. Dragging it all down to his level.
Won't you come with me to the fairground? / Your head / will be spinning.
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
at the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
The man has come between us, his cheeks rattle like a fence,
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
And then we went for rides.
[Jarvis:] Roll up, roll up, nice rides...
Come on, spin those cars boys and make the girls scream!
The louder you scream the faster we go!
Come on, roll up, go on, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
for the ride of a lifetime. There's plenty of seats, come on, don't be shy!
Roll up, come on, come on!
[shreiking and wailing laughter]
And then we went for rides.

Life Must Be So Wonderful Lyrics By Pulp

Life must be so wonderful, living here on your own,
please call / around to see.
And maybe I've been loving you for too long, / and now blind,
I watch you bleed.
You rot in your bedroom, you cry on the phone.
Well I'm sorry / but he's not at home.
You give me your secrets, you give me your heart
and I smile whilst you fall apart.
Oh no, / please not now, / can't you see there's no time?
No, I haven't the time. / Can't you see there's no time?
Oh-oh, / oh-oh-oh-oh, / oh-oh, / oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Now all our dreams melt / in the sun, / and visions / dwindle
one by one by one. / Perhaps you should move somewhere / far away,
to another town / where maybe they / could see things in your way.
It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be hard.
I smile whilst you fall apart.
You're sorry, you're sorry, is all that you say.
Well, / I'd stop it, but I can't find a way.
Your life must be so wonderful, / your visions die and fall.
And in the end, / nothing ends, / just grows fainter
and farther / away.

P.t.a. Lyrics By Pulp

I know I'm getting on / and you're so very young / but would you like to stay
until next Saturday / or Sunday?
I'll give you your own room / it's next door to my room
and some time in the night / well, maybe I just might
Oh take your clothes off won't you please?
You don't have to talk to me / just leave the light on so I can see
You've got everything I need / Oh yeah
You know I can't forget / that special night we met / at the local P.T.A.
when your mother came to say / that you'd been taking days off school
I turned and looked at you, I said
"Yes, I understand / I'm gonna take this girl in hand."
Oh take your clothes off, one two three
No you don't have to talk to me / just leave the light on so I can see
You've got everything you need / Oh yeah
'Cause I've never had a woman before
I was too scared to touch the girls in the Poly
And I don't know what it's like to be young
'Cause all my life I've been knocking on forty
Oh yeah / Oh yeah / Oh yeah / Oh yeah
[Jarvis:] So if I / put my hand / on your bosom...
[Candida:] Yeah?
[Jarvis:] ...would that / give you an orgasm?
No that's not right / But, but if we / if we kissed with tongues
[Candida: giggles]
[Jarvis:] won't that / wouldn't that make / wouldn't that make you come?
Oh take your clothes off won't you please? / No you don't have to talk to me
just leave the light on so I can see / You've got everything I need
Oh oh oh / Just one touch was all it took
No you can't learn it from a book / Let's go upstairs and have a / look
Oh you've got everything I need / Oh yeah / Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah / Oh yeah / Hit me.
