The Thrills Album

Slow down lately lives are moving too fast
Put your money down and we'll make it last
By dawn we'll be out of here.
The marching band play for the families through the streets, beautifulsymphonies.
Let's walk through the park while the trees are still there.

And the midnight choir they sing
They sing a hymn
We used to believe ???
Aaaaahhhh
But it's all we've got

I've found a job and I'm gonna hold this one down.
I was a burden to everyone when I was young and far from home
But now you're home cos you cant run forever
The old parade stumble together
The drinks last all on them

And the midnight choir they sing
They sing a hymn
We used to believe in ???
But its all we've got.

I don't know what I'd do
I don't know what I'd do
You're all I've ever known.
But if something should come between us
Oh if something should come between us

And the midnight choir they sing
They sing a hymn we used to believe in
But it's all we've got.

I told you I'd take you away from here
I told you I'd take you away from here
And I will
I'm no street corner bone
I knew your day would come
It's hardly a secret your checker past
It's hardly a question I would ever ask
Now you are free
We were so cumbersome
I knew your day would come
Well I've said my bit now
It's all in your hands
I'm gonna put my heart on the line
Cos I know - this year could be our year x 4
Ooohhh oh oh oh
The factory and the job you hold
It makes you hard and then it makes you old
But I know if you still believe in me so
I know our day will come
Well I've said my bit now
It's all in your hands
I'm gonna put my heart on the line
Cos I know - this year could be our year
And I know good friends they rally around
But they just don't understand this year could be our year x 4
I'll let nothing come between us
Come between us, come between us, come between us

Oh nothing changes round here, oh nothing changes round here
Oh no
Oh but I see you now on the outskirts of town
But the fog gets so heavy

La la la la la

But if you're looking for comforting words, so long
Just don't tell me that you loved me all along
But if you're looking for famous last words, so long
Just don't tell me that you loved me all along

I saw your sister last night and we danced danced danced
That was all
But I see you now on the outskirts of town
But the fog gets so heavy

La la la la la

But if you're looking for comforting words, so long
Just don't tell me that you loved me all along

And your face so full of gloom so I booked ourselves a room
Took what every teenage boy in town wanted
And you chose me

And then you disappeared from our lives
Sacred things were on your horizon
I demanded an explanation
You said that I was not your father
And you owed me none

Oh nothing changes round here
Oh nothing changes round here

Anymore
Anymore
Anymore

La la la la la

But if you're looking for comforting words, so long
Just don't tell me that you loved me, all along
But if you're looking for famous last words so long
Just don't tell me that you loved me all along

Don't just don't tell me that you loved med all along

La la la
La la la
La la la

I worked so hard for that man
And he worked me to the bone
Said success wont belong
He bought that old factory
Cause the rich are born free and thats how you want to be
So I looked down from the rooftops one night
And I knew I could go far if you never left my sight
But this will never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.
This will never be what I want, and all I ever wanted was you.
He was a beggar on a horse, he was another brave man
??? our jobs get sold
He took the drinks from our hands so I took you in my arms we watched the sun godown
Then I knew I had been taken for a fool
I took you for granted I took fate as a rule
But this will never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.
This'll never be what I want and all I ever wanted was you.
I need you now more than before
I need you now more than before
I need you to be there true and fair
If I prove myself here I'll prove it anywhere
But this'll never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.
This'll never be what I want and all I ever wanted was you.
This'll never be what I want. x 4

I came all this way just to say that's not what I want.
Those smug lovers they might as well just rub it in my face.
I guess that's when the penny finally dropped
You're as clueless as i am.
Those backseat fumblings oooh no. oh no. oh no. oh no.
But now I know I'll never be someone else someone else.
Now I know I'll never be someone else somebody else not for a long time.
I came all this way just to say my feelings have grown
No longer a good friend
I long to hold you in my arms
While your boyfriend place your eyes on someone elses life then pass it off ashis own
But when the world finds out oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes.
But now I know I'll never be someone else someone else.
But now I know I'll never be someone else somebody else, not for a long time.
You know you know you know.
La la la la you know you know you know.
But now I know I'll never be someone else someone else
Now I know I'll never be someone else somebody else, not for a long time.
You know you know you know (I came all this way just to say la la la la la )
You know you know you know (I came all this way just to say)
Someday I'll be someone else.

Out of time, out of love
I followed you away from home.
To a great light across the sea burning and welcoming all those that stray
I know a long forgotten song but everybody still sings along
Along

All the boys took the bait and followed you all the way.
Summer came and summer went I curse the days my lookout spent on small timegirls.
I know a long forgotten song but everybody still sings along
Oh not so long ago.
But people, they learn to let go.
Turned down by the old canal
The rain fell hard on the cobblestone.
There's a church you're leaning on
The wind blew heavy, the wind blew strong
Everywhere I look around; well they're pulling beautiful buildings down
Everywhere I look around I see your face

I know a long forgotten song
Where everybody still sings along
To a long forgotten song
Where everybody still sings along
Not so long ago
But people, they learn to let go.

Ahh, ahh...

I'll return under the cover of night
oh those were simpler times
we'd take a walk through the park and go out after dark
obsessed with only ourselves.
I'll return like a river running home
i'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm..
I took a train there then another somewhere cos you were on my mind.
you'll make a name for yourself
you'll make a life somewhere else far from this great town
I'll return like a river running home
i'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
But you'll never be just another river that runs into the sea
you'll be more something more.
I know you'll worry
I won't return you worry
I might get lost but I'm lost if I stay here.
But I'll return like a river running home
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry

You don't need to be afraid those hesitations of the past.
Your best selling paperback, the ugly duckling has the last laugh.
Everybody's got a fighting chance
Cos I've spent years looking back
Got me nowhere got me nowhere.
While the wind caught your hair
Yes the wind caught your hair
Do do do do do do....
Darling no more empty words
They're just hurtful and misleading
Can't you see that?
Darling no more empty words, they're just hurtful and misleaiding
Can't you see that?
So you threw it all away.
But you're worth the whole damn lot of them
But this morning something changed.
I saw my life stretched over plains
And everybody had a fighting chance
While I spent years looking back
Got me nowhere got me nowhere
While the wind caught your hair, yes the wind caught your hair
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Darling no more empty words
They're just hurtful and misleading
Can't you see that?
Darling no more empty words
They're just hurtful and misleading
Can't you see that?
Do do do do....
Someday I'll rise up again and try to make something in my life
It's not too late
Darling no more empty words
They're just hurtful and misleading
Can't you see that?

You remember being beautiful.
Regrets, regrets, regrets.
Did you take those fleeting glances for granted, for granted, for granted?
You rolled your eyes, teeny style
You said "I don't care for the past.
If I could go back, a teenager again.
If I could go back, i'd trip over again.
But where would I fall? la la la la
And who would break my fall? la la la la"
And you laughed at the whole world
The beautiful and loved and loved.
What has fate in store for you?
We're still waiting, waiting and waiting.
You rolled your eyes, teeny style.
You said "I dont care for the past.
If I could go back, a teenager again.
If I i could go back, i'd trip over again.
But where would I faaaall? la la la la
And who would break my fall? la la la la"
I remember you being beautiful.
That's all, that's all, that's all.

A harbour dance, I didn't live my youth with sufficient recklessness
Yeah I envy your youth, yes I envy your youth, I envy your youth, yes I envyyour youth.
But looking at you now girl
I know we'll never be haunted by such doubts.
Yes it's clear as the day yes it's clear as the day
It's clear as the day, yes it's clear as the day
I once had big dreams like you girl
I once had big dreams like you girl
I once had big dreams like you girl
But they're hard to sustain in this world

Oh we could have hit class, the kind people can't see past
Yeah I should have known better, yes I should have known better
Oh its too painful to look at you.
The memories you bring to the front of my mind
The regrets you bring to the front of my mind
I once had big dreams like you girl
I once had big dreams like you girl
I once had big dreams like you girl
But they're hard to sustain in this world

A harbour dance I didn't live my youth with sufficient recklessness
I envy your youth, yes I envy your youth, I envy your youth, yes I envy youryouth

Ahhhhh aaaa-aaa-aaaahhh

You packed up your whole life in the wee small hours of the night
I know things might seem hopeless now. yes I know things might seem hopeless now
But there's joy to be found in this life.
I know there's joy to be found
But if you find it hold on tight.

Will you miss those stuck-up bores like a driver you'll be opening your owndoors
I know things might seem hopeless now
Yes I know things might seem hopeless now
But there's joy to be found in this life.
I know there's joy to be found
But if you find it hold on tight.

Ahhhh ahhhh-ahhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
But there's joy to be found in this life.
I know there's joy to be found
But if you find it hold on tight.
Oh I hope that I'm right.
I hope that I'm right.
Yes I hope that I'm right.
Ooooh-ooooh-oooooooh!

The boy would never grow up, la la la la la la....
I don't think about you that much
But I don't think about anybody else
I just know I gotta get out of this rut very soon
These streets don't inspire me the way it used to do
I don't know why I try
The boy always caught the breaks.
No I don't know why I try
The boy caught all the breaks.
The boy would never grow up, la la la la la....
Some friends peeking their teeth
And some friends take their time waiting for their moment to shine.
You showed your face at the school reunion
Your paperback under your arm
You said it couldn't do no harm
I don't know why I try
The boy always caught the breaks.
I dont know why I try
The boy caught all the breaks!
You say you don't believe in love
Cause you've always made your own
Because you've always made your own
Because you've always made your own

The boy would never grow up...
He just simply said it was never for me.
The boy would never grow up.
La la la la la la la....
