The Noisettes Album

Sometimes they'll want to cut you down
Betta scratch that itch cos the time is now
They tell you that you gotta have a heart of steel
If you want to keep up can you afford to feel?

When the system's wrong you gotta tear it down let it fall to the sea bed like a rusty crown
To the stars in the moonbeams glare Shackles on your feet gonna disappear

Chorus
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Can't you see baby life's knocking right at your door
Oooh I just don't know for sure.
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?

Don't give up don't give up
Don't give up don't give up
Don't give up don't give up
Don't give up don't give up

She's got a talented face and a suitcase
Ain't got no desire to go no place
In her case she's got no desire with her hand in the flame say's she don't feel the fire
To the 'yes' in the evenings air demons in your head got to disappear
To the stars under the moon means glare
The Shackles on your meat will disappear

Chorus
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Can't you see baby life's knocking right at your door
She said, "Oooh I just don't know for sure"
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?

Inside spotlight, fire is burning in my eyes In 2025 there'll be fantasy costumes for your psyche We had a deal we had a sign we had a deal that was broken I'm not fooling around, fooling around, Over hills under ground break it open

Scratch your name
Into the fabric
Of this world
Before you go
The skin will tear
Under the pressure
Make it deep
So it always shows

In a trance petrified to dance
You wait in the wings for your curtain call On your marks come on, get set go People defend your sovereignty We had a deal, you were divine We had a deal that was no King I'm not fooling around, Mr merry go round Or convulse on the floor like a rabid

Scratch your name
As true as love is insane

Scratch your name
Into the fabric
Of this world
Before you go
The skin will tear
Under the pressure
Make it deep
So it always shows
(X3)

So the Count of Monte Christo
Threw the cape over his head
Gave me a penny for my thoughts
But didn't get no change, and
Old aged rhythmns
They were singing in his brain for
A mechanical crusade
Tried to shoot down his aeroplane

I see, you see
Ain't no more honey from this bee
I see, you see
Stung you've got a hold on me
I see, you see
Ain't no more honey from this bee
I see, you see
Stung you've got a hold

I want to make you feel so special
It's time to break the ice
Bless you and your wicked ways
For I guess that these are stanger days
But the tact must change for
The duchess to reveal her face
I'd give you all my pennies
For your gallantry at tomorrow's gate

When I see, you see
Ain't no more honey from this bee
I see, you see
Stung you've got a hold on me
I see, you see
Ain't no more honey from this bee
I see, you see
Stung you've got a hold

I, I, I see, you see
Ain't no more honey from this bee
I see, you see
Stung you've got a hold on me
I see, you see
Ain't no more honey from this bee
I see, you see
Stung you've got to hold on

To be immortal is commonplace
Except for man, all creatures are
They would be in a cage
Especially the superstars
So bind my hands
And tie me to the old oak tree
A mechanical crusade
Tried to shoot down his aeroplane
A mechanical crusade
Tried to shoot down his aeroplane
A mechanical crusade
Tried to shoot down his aeroplane
A mechanical crusade
Tried to shoot down his aeroplane
A mechanical crusade

She's a caged animal
London by night
Crashing lights and cymbals
Queens of twilight
And if I was you
I'd use the loo
Before the long drive
We compliment each other
Just like Satan and Christ

Baby when I am laid to rest
May my laughter remain
Like your kiss blew me away

Answer your spirit
I gotta know right now
I see you before me
Won't you show me how

I wear my hair fizzy
I don't copy no style
Cause kissin and a scrubbin
Has consequences
You're on the bus again
Past big ben
With your rip off oyster card
Tell your A.S.B.O. friend
To sling his hook and "go make your girl smile"

Cos baby when I am laid in earth
May my laughter remain
Like your kiss blew me away
Left your scent on my pillow
Sister Rosetta was playin
The congregation insane
Drinkin to the house with no name

You gotta capture the spirit, I gotta know right now I see you before me, won't you show me how I am the landlord, you'll be my troubadour Was it better before me? Won't you show me how, how?

You gotta capture the spirit, I gotta know right now I see you before me, wont you show me how Cause I am the landlord, and you'll be my troubadour Better before me? You just don't know how

Capture the spirit, and let it all hang out I see you before me, darlin show me now I am the landlord, You'll be my troubadour Oh oh oh oh oh, wont you show me how, how?

How love can conquer
The most reluctant souls
I'll take my chances
If you give back what you stole

Let me give you a spade
To dig your merry hole
I dig your smile too
and you dug my poker face

I couldn't get in so
Threw stones at your window
Love like an arrow
The arrow has left its bow

Travelling overseas
I'm missing my sweet pea
Airports and Handkerchiefs and broken families

On the Bridge To Canada
I wish you'd fall but not drown
On the Bridge To Canada
Yes I would wear you like a crown

I threw the dice on you
Went very far away
Some people they don't hurt
Just in it for the chase
0-7-9-5-6-0, 1-2-3-4
deleted numbers, but remembered to the core

Maybe disappointments
Must be our appointment
Naive and hyper
Now I can't decipher

Before you close the curtains
Be sure that you're certain
When losing your patience
For flirtation and free loving

"You lost your PASSPORT!!
You lost your HEAD!!!
You lost your PASSPORT!!
Have you lost your HEAD???!!"
You're waking up in a foreign bed

On the Bridge To Canada
I wish you'd fall but not drown
On the Bridge To Canada
Yes I would wear you like a crown

On the Bridge To Canada
I wish that you could see me now
On the Bridge To Canada
I'll play the fool but not your Clown

On the Bridge To Canada
"I hear the band have just left town"
On the Bridge To Canada
How I miss you now

On the Bridge To Canada
You can wear me like a frown
On the Bridge To Canada (oh how I will)
Play the fool in this lucky town

On the Bridge To Canada
I hope that you are happy now
On the Bridge To Canada
I'll play the fool but not your clown

Am I the caller of your keep
Am I the catcher of your fall
Am I the staller of your gaze
You leave me in a daze

You take your jump I'll make my leap
Feel freedom coming, we can have it all
We are the ones to lead the way
We'll leave them in a daze

We'll leave them in a daze
We'll leave them in a daze
We'll leave them in a daze

I Carried you down from the fortress
I don't know when to draw the line
That's not the way that you should do thee That's not the way that you should screw me

Make the jump or I'll take my leave
Just like icicles burning my eyes out
We are the ones to seize the day
I'll tell you that we'll leave them in a daze

Who will lead the way
Who will lead the way
Tell me while you leave them in a daze
Change your, change your ways
Just before I slip away I said
We'll leave them in a daze

Iwe, iwe, iwe, iwe..

Don't be scared no, no
We ain't prepared no, no
Dreamt of ventures and
Woke up to the sound of the trenches you dig in my mind

Ah, you've got a lot to learn

What's a kingdom
To the man who has sold off his soul just to claim it Sirens, harletts, bohemians, Coloured haze of the street horizon

Ah, you've got a lot to learn
Oh, he's got some time to burn

Don't you know you got nothing to dread
Don't you know you got nothing to dread
Don't you know you got nothing dread
though you know you got a coffin to drag

A hit and run is just no fun
Lock up your fine sons my dear
The grave of love
We'd cuddle up
Drink summer beer
And then smoke tea

She's like the devil to the moon
she's howling, laughing, joking like a kingsnake crawling, And the herd and the masses, The rings and the turkey, The trimmings the trappings you know you've gotta have it all

Don't you know you got nothing to dread Don't you know you got nothing to dread.
Don't you know you got nothing to fear,
every girl's got a secret to wear

You know you got nothing to dread
everyone's got a secret to wear
You know you've got nothing to dread
every girl's got a secret to bury
To dread, to dread, to dread, to dread
To dread, to dread, to dread, to dread

Please give up this space
To someone worthy
Of course we are not worthy
To rest our bones
Ignore the human race
At your peril
Although magazine values
Are all around
I see tired and deflated faces
What is this thing un-happening

Climb on to the magic bus
Soon you will be part of us

Tra la la la lah (etc)
If you see an unattended package or bag
Donít ignore it, don't touch it
Alert a police officer
Or a member of staff

Look out please, mind the gap
Watch out for the people trap
Here we are, going down
Hold on before we hit the ground
Look out please, mind the gap
Stiletto stuck, in the cracks
Look out please, mind the gap
Someone is gonna get a slap

Ditto, ok, that's cool, that's fine
Yes sir, no sir, sorry, no thanks

Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah dah (etc)

Mind the gap, mind the gap
Better mind the gap, mind the gap

Tra la la la lah, la lah la la lah, la la lah..

You are alone, that's that
Nobody's home inside your head
You cannot even speak
Think everybody thinks you're a freak

And you wish you could be
On a magic carpet
Yes you wish you could be
Ever so transported from here, from here

Why don't you break free, break free
I want you to break free
Break free break free
Give me something, say we
Break free break free
I want you to break free
Break free break free
Give me something

Get on, get on wanna wanna (etc)

This time it is for real
And this time it's you who's making the move So tell me what's the deal?
Will it be you who's breaking the rules

Still you wish you could be
On a magic carpet (somewhere)
Yes you wish you could be
Ever so transported from here, from here

Why don't you break free, break free
I want you to break free
Break free break free
Give me something, say we
Break free break free
I want you to break free
Break free break free
Give me something
And get on get on
wanna wanna get on get on
See its time to get on, get out

It's time to go (ha ha ha ha ha ha x 18) Wipe your eye I'm on your side No compromise It's time to go Wipe your eye It's time to fly

Get on

Where did my brave side go?
T'was beaten by thieves
Who snatched with no hands
Said they promised to
Take us to enchanted lands
And I hope you understand

Like falling leaves
From the sky we'd never touch the ground Why dare to shovel dreams that we have found Tired of being gagged and bound

The hierarchy, the hierarchy you search for (x3)

The taste of bitter fruit
Your tongue was ready
You thought your sense astute
You saw us laugh while we
Were crying inside
spittin blood just like a mudslide

It's time to chance
Chance the dance you never
Thought you could do
My arms are open wide,
A great bayoux
And I hope that so are you

When this hierarchy, the hierarchy you search for (it happens) The hierarchy the hierarchy we search for (that's the) The hierarchy the monarchy's going to fall, and you want more, for?

Before you get bored
Look what you've done now
Is it worth the blood
We might only be here for a while

Where have you been
The child with the golden wings
I heard you sing
The child with those goddamn wings
Slaughter the skeletons from my soul

I was standing on the corner of my dream
Faces getting hotter
Temperature is rising up inside of my soul
Like a madman's daughter.
The time is right and so am I
Come and fly into the night sky brother, oh.

Is there nothing I can do
To make you smile
Nothing I can borrow
Nothing I can beg or steal
To change your minds way
Cause I feel out of order
Name your price, I'll pay it twice
Roll the dice, would you really die for another?

Be my speedhorn
Fuel my raging heart
Oh my lover
Come on feel the spark
See I won't bite
See that girl can bark
All I want to do is be the one you love, oh yeah
Only want to be the one you love, yeah
All i want to do, yeah!

Be my speedhorn
Fuel my raging heart
Oh my lover
You make me feel so
Like I could be far
Oh my lover

I am laughing but I'm fraying at the seams
Can't control the holler
Temperature is rising as the story unfolds
Lost my friend to the water
On my grave, next to my name
Go say: "She loved, she lost,
Yet never ceased to be amazed"

There is something you can do
To make me smile
Don't wait 'til tomorrow
Pressure can be swallowed
See cause she lost her heart
Diving in for another

You named your price, I paid it twice
There's no more dice and now
You're taking the piss

Be my speedhorn
Fuel my raging heart
Oh my lover
She'll cut your body parts
See I won't bite
They say that bitch can bark

All I want to do is be the one that you love, whoa yeah
Oh my love the one you love
Never wanna be the one you lost
All I wanna do, yeah

Be my speedhorn
Fuel my raging heart
Be my speedhorn oh yeah,
Be my speedhorn
Fuel my raging heart
Oh my lover

Losing control now
Who's in control now
Losing control
I was on a roll now
Losing control now
Who's in control now
Losing control
See now I was on a roll now
I'm losing control

Be my speedhorn
Fuel my raging heart
Oh my lover see you got the spark
Why don't you be my speedhorn
Fuel my raging heart
Oh my lover, oh you got the spark
Be my speedhorn, oh my love

You make me roll
I loose control
You loose control
I loose control
Loose con-trol, loose con-trol
Oh I loose control
Be the one in heart
