Including every song from each album, using each song exactly once.
Would have loved to include some B-sides in here, maybe next time!
Lyrics:
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
Brick by bricks
Love’s a risk
Quite the little boy
They wanted to be one of The Strokes
Now look, here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn’t he Mr Inconspicuous?
And he don’t even have to say hello
Well, the heartbeat’s at its peak
Don’t have to mean that you’ve stolen their…
Thunderstorms
Lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs
And a smile, and waving goodbye
Curiosity becomes a heavy load
Too heavy to hold
And no understanding
Of where it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there’s a very common crisis
Everything’s in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past, though
Look what it’s done to your friends
Their memories are pretend
And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways
So incase I’m mistaken I
Just wanna hear your fake tales of San Francisco
Echo through the gloom
With a cough drop coloured tongue
And you were sitting in the back booth by the
Pamphlets and the literature on how to beat
The good grace of a sweetheart
Out to the point she’ll comply
And why do you only call me when you’re high?
Somewhere darker, talking to you now
Puncturing your bubble of relatability
With your bollocks
I don’t want your advice or your praise
Or to move in the ways you do
And I never thought
Not in a million years
That I’d meet someone you like
You’re in the meteor strike
It is that easy
Lunar surface on a Saturday night
Dressed like a fictional character
From a burning building or throwing her to the sharks
Can only hope you’ve got it aimed at me
Suck it and see
You never know if this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you’d stay in touch
And all the pretty visitors came and waved their arms
And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
For when it gets too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm
It was close, but never close enough
Been watching cowboy films
On gloomy afternoons
Tinting the solitude
Put on your dancing shoes
You sexy little liar
Just like those fibs to pop and fizz
And you’ll be forced to take it all more seriously
I’ve tried to ask you this in some daydreams
My days end best when the sunset gets itself
Behind us
She’s saying that he’s not gonna slap me or try to attack me
He’s not the jealous type
And I only need to get half an excuse and I’m away
But when there’s nowt you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
And you realise then that it’s finally the time
To walk back past ten thousand eyes
Like a memory from your youth
I’ll be here waiting ever so patiently for you
Timing wise, it’s probably alright
But under these lights, you look good on the dancefloor
I don’t know if you’re looking for romance around there
And there’s the truth that they can’t see past
The disco strobes in the stumbling blocks
Wait, there's just enough time left to swing by
And re-address the start
The shake, rattle, and roll
Drunken monologues, confused because
It's not like I'm falling in love, I just wanna be yours
Secrets that I can’t keep
Like in my heart, there’s that hotel and casino
Mark speaking
Please tell me how it tastes
Kung Fu fighting on a rainy day
When she walks her footsteps sing
Spotlit, getting cynical, and that won’t do
I'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view
Darling, if it’s true you’re gonna run away
Tell me where you’ve been
Going riding through the smoke
Pyjama pants and a Subbuteo cloak
You know that it's alright
If you wanna cry some of the hottest tears you ever cried
Multiplied by five
I suppose you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do
We just cannot explain to you
And those silly boys in blue
Well they force you to make a wish
They say, “Climb up this”
And, “Jump off the ferry in the night”
The inevitables gather to push you around
Any other voice makes my head pirouette
More than I would be willing to confess
D is for delightful, and try and keep your trousers on
I think you should know you're mistaken if you're thinking
That I haven't been called cold before"
As you bit into my skull
Wayne Manor, what you whispered in my ear
I must admit you gave me something momentarily
In which I could be someone else for a week
I'd spend it chasing after the train
You wanted it, you got it all
And I can’t get it started on my own
When my invincible streak turns onto the final straight
If that's what it takes to say goodnight
Then that's what it takes
