Pulp Album

We like driving on a Saturday night
Past the Leisure Centre, left at the lights.
We don't look for trouble but if it comes we don't run.
Looking out for trouble is what we call fun.
Hey you, you in the Jesus sandals
Wouldn't you like to come over and watch some vandals smashing up someone's
home?
We can't help it, we're so thick we can't think
Can't think of anything but shit, sleep and drink.
Oh, and we like women; "up the women" we say
And if we get lucky we might even meet some one day.
Hey you, you in the Jesus sandals...etc.
ister, we just want your car 'cos we're taking a girl to the reservoir.
Oh, all the papers say it's a tragedy but don't you want to come and see?

No wonder you're looking thin
When all that you live on is lipgloss and cigarettes.
And scraps at the end of the day
When he's given the rest to sommetaeone with long black hair.
All those nights in, making such a mess of the bed.
Oh you never ever want to go home.
And he wants you so you may as well hang around for a while, call your dad on
the phone.
He changed his mind last Monday, so you've gotta leave by Sunday, yeah.
You've lost your lipgloss Honey
Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on, there's something wrong.
You had it once but now it's gone.
And you feel such a fool for laughing at bad jokes
And putting up with all of his friends and kissing in public.
What are they gonna say when they run into you again?
That your stomach looks bigger and your hair is a mess
And your eyes are just holes in your face.
And it rains every day and when it doesn't, the sun makes you feel worse anyway.

He changed his mind last Monday, now you've gotta leave by Sunday, yeah.
You've lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on, there's something wrong.
You had it once but now it's gone.
Though you knew there was no way it was gonna last for ever
It still shook you when he told you in a letter that he didn't wanna see you.

You nearly lost your mind, Oh yeah.
You've lost your lipgloss
Honey, Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on, there's something wrong.
You had it once but now it's gone, Oh yeah.
You've lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah
Now nothing you do can turn him on, there's something wrong.

I fell asleep on your sofa and had a dream about a small child in dungarees
Who caught his hands in the doors of the Paris metro.
Then my face cracked open and you were there
You were there dressed in green, saying something obscene.
But that's why I came here in the first place, Oh well that and the tea.
Can I stay here lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside and wait for their mothers to finish with lovers

And call them inside for their tea.
Cushions and TV and the table set for tea. One for you, one for me.
Come and lie down on the settee in that green jumper
You can have anything you want and the clock is saying it's half past four
But you know I want to stay a little more.
Can I stay here lying under the table...etc.
On a pink quilted eiderdown, I want to pull your knickers down.
Net curtains blow slightly in the breeze.
Lemonade light filtering thru the trees.
It's so soft and it's warm.
Just another cup of tea please (one lump thanks).
Can I stay here lying under the table...etc.
Oh Kevin, Shane, Julie, Diane, Wayne, Frank, Heather, Rachel, Chelsea,
Leanne,come home.

First you let him in your bed. Now he's moved inside your head.
And he directs all the dreams you are dreaming.
I saw a friend of yours today
She called me over just to say "I dunno if you've seen her lately but God she's
looking rough".
No don't go round to see him tonite, he's already made such a mess of your life.

Find something else to do with your time & do it quickly while you've still got
the chance. 'Do you think he'll fall apart? Do you think you'll break his heart?

If you leave him on his own.
You are dreaming 'cos he can fasten all his clothes, tie his laces, blow his
nose.
It's time to teach him how to walk, yeah, teach your baby how to walk away.
No don't go round to see him tonite...etc.
You're not his mother & you're not sister & brother.
He's not even your lover. He's just a piece of luggage you should throw away.

No don't go round tonite...etc. No don't go round tonite, you'll never make it
right.
He's already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time & do it quickly while you've still got

Well it happened years ago when you lived on Stanhope Road.
We listened to your sister when she came home from school
'cos she was two years older and she had boys in her room.
We listened outside and heard her.
Alright. Well that was alright for a while but soon I wanted more.
I want to see as well as hear and so I hid inside her wardrobe.
And she came round four and she was with some kid called David from the garage
up the road
I listened outside I heard her.
Alright. Oh I want to take you home.
I want to give you children. You might be my girlfriend, yeah.
When I saw you next day I really couldn't tell 'cos you might go and tell your
mother.
And so you went with Neve and Neve was coming on
And I thought I heard you laughing when his Mum and Dad were gone.
I listened outside, I heard you. Alright. Oh I want to take you home...etc.
Well I guess it couldn't last too long.
I came home one day and all her things were gone, I fell asleep inside.
I never heard her come. And then she opened up her wardrobe and I had to get it
on.
Oh, listen we were on the bed when you came home, I heard you stop outside the
door.
I know you won't believe it's true, I only went with her 'cos she looks like
you.

She's dying, everybody came to see
She's falling and I know I'll never see her face again
And I don't really know just why she's leaving
All she ever said was she just had to go
And I watch her as she walks away from me
Yeah, I can see her then I know that in a moment she'll be gone
Yeah, she'll be gone and and then I'll say
"You've got to understand. She's not really breathing no not at all
Those years of endless rain, they just washed her away."
Oh and I know she's leaving
Yeah she's going for good
Oh and I'd love to go with you but I never would face it
You've blown it this time round
Now I understand just why she's leaving
Oh if she'd have hung around with me
Well you know she'd never go, no nonono
Oh and I know she's leaving
Yeah, she's going for good and I'd love to go with you but I never would
Oh and I know she's leaving
Yeah, she's going for good and I'd love to go with you oh but I never would
No I never would
No I never would
No I never would
Oh no Dadadada dadada...
She's never coming back
Face it
She's gone
Oh Lalalala lalala...
No I never would

Well, imagine it's a film & you're the star & pretty
Soon we're coming to the part where you realise that you should give your heart
Oh give your heart to me.
Now the orchestra begins to make a sound
That goes round & round & round & round & round & round & round & round & round
again
And we kiss to violins.
Well some sad people might believe in that I guess but we know better don't we?

We know all about the mess.
The aftermath of our affair is lying all around and I can't clear it away.
No. And d'you think that it's so easy to find?
Somebody who is just your kind?
Well it might take you a little time but I'm going to have to try.
Oh yeah I'm gonna try.
And I know no-one can ever know which way to head
But don't you remember that you once said that you liked happy endings?
And no-one can ever know if it's going to work

You say you've got to go home 'cos he's sitting on his own again this evening.

I know you're gonna let him bore your pants off again.
Oh God, it's half past eight you'll be late.
You say you've never been sure tho' it makes good sense for you to be together.

Still you bought a toy that can reach the places he never goes & now it's
getting late.
He's so straight. Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time but you know that we've changed so much since then
Oh yeah, we've grown.
Now I don't care what you're doing
No I don't care if you screw him just as long as you save a piece for me
Oh yeah now, you say you've got to go home.
Well at least there's someone there that you can talk to
And you never have to face up to the nite on your own.
Jesus, it must be great to be straight.

You'd better watch what you're wearing if you want him to come round and see you
tonight.
Ma Ma Ma.
He doesn't care what it looks like just as long as it's pink and it's tight.
Ma Ma Ma. Oooh, so what should you do? Should you stop being you? Just to be how
he wants you?
Oooh, say you'll visit your mum then tell me that you'll come and meet me in the
afternoon.
He's got your heart, he's got control.
Oh God, you might as well know.
I know you're never going to be with me
But if you try sometimes then maybe you could get it right first time.
I realise that you'll never leave him but every now and then in the evening.
You could get it right first time.
I know you think I've got to be joking but if you touch him again then I'm
going.
You got it right first time.
Get it right first time.
Now you've done it once now he wants you to wear your pink glove all the time.

Ma Ma Ma. Oooh, so what should you do? Should you stop being you? Just to be how
he wants you.
Oooh, say you'll visit your mum then tell me that you'll come and meet me in the
afternoon.
He's got your heart, he's got control.
Oh God, you might as well know.
I know you're never going to be with me...etc.
Oh you'll always be together 'cos he gets you up in leather.
So you know what to wear at the end of the day and I'd laugh if I saw but I'm
out of the way.
Yeah it's too long ago, shouldn't care anymore but I wanted to know
Is it as good as before?
Yeah it's hard to believe that you'd go for that stuff
All those baby-doll nighties with synthetic fluff.
Yeah it looks pretty good and it fits you OK
Wear your pink glove babe he put it on the wrong way. Jesus.

She likes to watch the moon as it travels through the sky
'cos she's heard that it's romantic, though she really can't see why.
Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.
So she drinks a cup of coffee & telephones a friend
And she asks if she can make it so this night will never end.
Someone should have helped her through the day...etc.
But the light comes and the day bleeds through the sky & the sun
The sun makes it hard to get through & the radio only plays love songs so she
cries
Though she knows it's such a bad thing to do.
In the evening it gets better
And she thinks how it's not right that someone so stupid can so easily screw up
your life.
Someone should have helped her through the day...etc.
But the light came and the day bled through the sky & the sun
The sun made it hard to get through & the radio only played love songs so she
cried
Though she knew it's such a bad thing to do.
Can't you see? Can't you see?
Someone should have helped her through the day.
