  • Lyrics

    On this day, on this day
    I fall down I go to bed
    But I feel how I feel
    Like I bruised my head

    Now I know that you’re trying
    Baby don’t lie, don’t lie

    Run Run Run
    Run Run Run Run

    As fast as you can

    Sometimes I cry when I speak out your name
    Sometimes I stand out in the rain
    Although I know you’re doin the same
    And I know that soon I’ll see you again

    See the blue sky turn to black
    How I wish that you could see me now
    What’s the point you say as you turn your back?
    In my mind in my mind
    I know our love wont die

    Run run run
    Run Run Run Run

    As fast as you can

    Sometimes I cry when I speak out your name
    Sometimes I stand out in the rain
    Although I know you’re doin the same
    And I know that soon I’ll see you again

    Cant help it if I try, God knows the paths are known to fly
    What’s done is just keeps goin on, What more I cannot do
    To make me fall in love with you?

    Well I never know that you were gonna runaround and hurt me so
    I never knew that you were gonna make me feel so blue
    And I never knew that I was ever gonna fall in love with you
    I was only ever hopin. I was only ever hopin
    You would love me too

    Oh I dream California where all your troubles fade away
    Never been to California, and I’m thinking I should get me there someday

    If I really knew you would try your best to love no one but me
    And if I really knew that you would try to make me feel complete
    And I really knew that I would never be the only one to believe
    Cos I was only ever hopin,, I was only ever hopin I could make you see

    That I dream California where all your troubles fade away
    Never been to California, and I’m thinking I should get me there someday

    What’s a girl to do – when she don’t love no one but you
    California here I come
    What’s a girl to say when you’re makin her feel this way?

    La La Verse

    Oh I dream California where all your troubles fade away
    Never been to California, and I’m thinking I should get me , thinking I should get me
    Thinkin I should get me there someday

    Bad Boy Billy from Brixham
    To some just Bad Boy Bill
    Passed away last Christmas Eve
    Too young to make a will

    Some saw him up in Berry Head
    And down in Old Fish Quay
    But no one thought to ask him in
    To stay on Christmas Day

    Bad Boy Bill, Bad Boy Billy

    His Mother was a drinker
    She washed her life away
    Mornings in the Rising Sun
    She found a way to pay

    But Billy’s little sister
    She didn’t fare so well
    She Flew off like a seagull
    At the sound of Seven Bells

    Bad Boy Bill, Bad Boy Billy

    Some say he used to sleep in Fishcombe Cove
    Lying on the shingle with the cliffs to call his home
    Lighting fires and singing in the wind
    Hoping that his sister would fly home to him

    Bad Boy Bill

    Bad Boy Billy form Brixham
    Made carvings out of wood
    He sold a few around the town
    Folk gave him what they could

    And when the fires inside his mind
    Began to take control
    He thought he’d fly into the night
    To find his sisters soul

    He leaped into the night at Fischombe Cove
    Landing on the shingle with the cliffs to call his home
    Some people saw a fire and heard singing in the wind
    They say they saw a seagull fly, heard a girls lonely cry
    And saw a spirit rise up in the sky

    Tidy semi on your tidy street
    Tidy flowerbed on your lawn so neat
    Driving through this never - never lego land
    Don’t stop for me no don’t you lend a hand

    Managed through some bad times
    Don’t need your insecurities
    Now I’m living through some good times
    So please keep Britain tidy

    Tidy bankers and their tidy bonds
    Like the tidy Generals and their tidy cluster bombs
    We are living for today – today is all we got
    Gonna mess this whole thing up the tidy rot

    Managed through some bad times
    Don’t need your insecurities
    Now I’m living through some good times
    So please keep Britain tidy
    Hey well I’m livin’ through some good times
    Just seems to happen when you’re living day to day
    Don’t care much for the bad times
    Doesn’t mean they wont go away

    Generals, Bankers bunch of wankers – throw them away
    Economies and student fees – throw them away
    Phoney Tony’ Berlusconi – Throw them away
    Suntan fakers tabloid papers – throw them away.

    Well I’m living through some good times
    So please keep Britain tidy
    Hey well I’m livin through some good times
    Just seems to happen when you’re living day to day
    Don’t care much for the bad times
    Doesn’t mean they wont go away – hey x2

    Everybody loves a lover
    I'm a lover, everybody loves me
    Anyhow, that's how I feel
    Wow, I feel just like a Pollyanna

    I should worry, not for nothin'
    Everybody loves me, yes they do
    And I love everybody
    Since I fell in love with you

    Who's the most popular personality?
    I can't help thinkin' it's no one else but me
    Gee, I feel just about ten feet tall, havin' a ball
    Guess ya might call me a Pollyanna

    The Big Blue’s my favourite place
    A place I always go to be at home
    The sea breeze is a warm embrace
    Reminding me I never feel the cold

    And it sends my mind reeling
    And then I can’t help believing
    That a broken heart just needs some time to mend

    When the time comes along
    I know I’ll be strong
    And trust myself to find a better man

    I can’t find the words to explain
    I need help to reach out again

    I wanna love you, I just wanna be there, to stay by your side and show how much I care,
    Do you remember the way that we were where when nobody cared if we slipped in the dirt?

    I just tried too much to make it work
    I just tried too much to make it work

    Love that’s so hard
    That’s been shut in the dark
    Never knowing who’ll bring it back to life

    For the moment it will stay
    All alone in the shade
    Till the right person’s effort wins the try

    I can’t find the words to explain
    I need help to reach out again

    I wanna love you, I just wanna be there, to stay by your side and show how much I care,
    Do you remember the way that we were where when nobody cared if we slipped in the dirt?

    I just tried too much to make it work
    I just tried too much to make it work

    Bobby’s got a big voice with no capability
    Trading on his good looks and his likeability
    Thinks he’s gonna blag it it with a big sob story
    Head off in the sunset – TV Glory

    I see you,
    I see you

    Cindy’s got the trash look with loads of personality
    Walks in with her kids and no grip on reality
    She thinks she’s gonna blag it with a big sob story
    Leave the kid behind – TV Glory

    I see you
    I see you

    Now I’m gonna sing it loud
    I’ll be standing out from the crowd
    Nothings gonna bring me down
    Cos nothing’s gonna stop me now
    Now you’re gonna see who’s in charge
    I guess that I’ll be living it large
    No ones gonna bring me down
    Cos nothing’s gonna stop me now.

    Vincent looks like Elvis only more contemporary
    Singin ‘in the ghetto’ straight from 1970
    Thinks he’ll get a big house with at least four storeys
    Head off in the sunset - TV Glory

    I see you,
    I see you

    Pammy and her sisters have a brand new strategy
    Just forget the words and then forget the melody
    Deamin of a big house with at least four storeys
    Head of f in the sunset – TV Glory

    I've been worrying whilst you've been scurrying.
    Laying out your love traps - you dirty little love rat
    You said I think too much and most of that is out to lunch
    You say there's nothing wrong but I know what's been goin on

    Have a nice life, close the door while you are leaving.
    Have a nice life, I'm done with your deceiving

    You've been convincing running round and rinsing.
    Laying out your love traps - you dirty little love rat
    You had a cunning plan, tell me you were with your nan
    Fly off with your biggest fan to get yourself a sun tan

    Have a nice life, close the door while you are leaving.
    Have a nice life, I'm done with your deceiving

    Sittin on the runway you must have had a fun day
    Thinkin up the lies to tell while fastening your seatbelt
    Flyin with your fancy girl leave behind your dreary world
    Livin life in large amounts - cos that's what really counts

    Have a nice life, close the door while you are leaving.
    Have a nice life, I'm done with your deceiving

    When its time for me to open up my mind and leave the safety of the loneliness where I once was
    Now I’m gone

    I’ve been lost and found but I was around
    I was alive in your heart
    The time was so wrong, the feeling so strong
    I played you my song

    I was only 17 – you were old and I was keen
    But I could always see it in your eyes
    But you reached out and touched me so
    Should I stay or should I go

    I had to read the writing on the wall –
    it said, it said, it said

    I need your devotion,
    I need your emotion

    I was only 17 – you were old and I was keen
    But I could always see it in your eyes
    But you reached out and touched me so
    Should I stay or should I go

    I had to read the writing on the wall –
    it said, it said, it said

    I need your devotion,
    I need your emotion

    Oh say play for me now
    Oh please just do it for me now
    Just tell me when
    You’re gonna make it there somehow
    Time moves along don’t need to catch it now

    I was only 17 – you were old and I was keen
    But I could always see it in your eyes
    But you reached out and touched me so
    Should I stay or should I go

    I had to read the writing on the wall –
    it said, it said, it said

    I need your devotion,
    I need your emotion

    I can play with fire and I can sing it in blues
    Pretend I like the danger

    I imagine a life in which I never can die
