1. _ Pale Movie
Transcribed by mark dorset
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala, /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala. /
All of his friends have been wondering /
Why he spent so long with her; /
He's so dark and moody, /
She is his sunshine girl. /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala, /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala. /
In the bed where they make love /
She's in a film on the sheets. /
He shows dreams like a movie, /
She's the softness of cinema seats. /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala, /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala. /
He sees all of the girls /
Like demi moore as she sighs. /
Dreams come true as he holds her, /
`til the x's come up in her eyes. /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala, /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala. /
Like roses grow in a churchyard, /
Her skin as white as the milk, /
Just like a sherpa tensing /
Under a manilla silk. /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala, /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala. /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala, /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala. /
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala...

2. _ The Boy Scouts Of America
Like a birthday card / from a previous year, /
The weather in chayco / is sparkling and clear. /
The girl lies in bed, / the boy sits in the yard. /
He wants to talk sleep / but he has to keep guard. /
She stirs from her sleep / and she calls for a beer; /
He knows there are none / and pretends not to hear. /
She hears his breath / like she's heard it before. /
She cuddles her sheets / as he slips out the door. /
God had derailed / the lonestar train /
That can take her away / from sadness and pain. /
He acts like a saint / but the strain really shows; /
The boy scouts of america / taught him all that he knows.

4. _ Groveley Road
George, he called to say that he'd be late; /
There's something on the tv around eight. /
If you could see me, / and if you could see me, ooh, /
And if you could see me, ooh. /
Talk to you at night when you're asleep. /
I say i deserve / better than this. /
If you could see me, / and if you could see me, ooh, /
And if you could see me, ooh. /
Spring-time came, george didn't care at all. /
No-one's broke my heart like this before. /
If you could see me, / and if you could see me, ooh, /
And if you could see me, ooh. /
It's spring-time.

5. _ Like A Motorway
Transcribed by mark dorset
He's gone, / he's gone. /
She wears sad jeans / torn at the waistband. /
Her pretty face / is stained with tears. /
And in her right hand / she clasps a letter; /
I know this means / that he has gone. /
And in this town / of mis-guided tourists, /
She never thought / she'd fall in love. /
It was a few days / after her birthday, /
The thrill hostess / gave her first kiss. /
He said her skin / smelled just like petals, /
Said stupid things / he knew she'd like. /
She said her life / was like a motorway: /
Dull, grey, and long / 'til he came along. /
He's gone, / he's gone. /
I said "how could / he ever leave you? /
You two were good, / you were so right." /
She said "i wish / that he just left me; /
He'd be alive, / alive tonight." /
He's gone, / he's gone. /
He's gone, / he's gone. /
He's gone, / he's gone.

9. _ He's On The Phone
He's on the phone, / and she wants to go home; /
Shoes in hand, / don't make a sound, / it's time to go.
(ooh-ooh) /
Someday (someday), someday. /
He's on the phone, / doesn't want to go home. /
The hotel life - / forget your wife, / you're on your own.
Academia girl; /
Her life's a gas, / she loves the trash / inside his world. /
Can't find his way there, /
Got the cash, / feeling flash / in leicester square. /
(ooh-ooh) /
Yes. /
She never meant to call, / she did anyway, /
And now he's trying to find / the words to say /
Someday (someday), someday (someday.) /
Yes. /
She never meant to call, / she did anyway, /
And now he's trying to find / the words to say /
Someday (someday), someday. /
It's five to twelve / and she's nervous as hell, /
With nothing to lose, / it's hard to choose / it's hard to tell. /
[the remix has this additional couplet:
And her's is lilac and gold; /
The things she has, / she's feeling sad, / she's feeling old.] /
Skin is dewdrop and warm; /
The lipstick kiss, / reminisce, / awake 'til dawn. /
(ooh-ooh) /
Yes. /
She never meant to call, / she did anyway, /
And now he's trying to find / the words to say /
Someday (someday), someday (someday.) /
Yes. / (ooh-ooh) /
She never meant to call, / she did anyway, /
And now he's trying to find / the words to say /
Someday (someday), someday (someday.) /
Et c'est alors que supposement blesse par le commun des mortels, /
[the remix contains the middle section:
Qu'en habit pourpre et net, / de mes cendres fictions, /
Pour l'encore inconnu(e), attendu(e); / ]
Je reserecte encore et encore. /
Je reserecte / encore / et encore. /
He's on the phone / and she wants to go home, /
Shoes in hand, / don't make a sound, / it's time to go /
Ooh-ooh /
Yes. /
She never meant to call, / she did anyway, /
And now he's trying to find / the words to say /
Someday (someday), someday (someday.) /
Yes. / (ooh-ooh) /
She never meant to call, / she did anyway, /
And now he's trying to find / the words to say /
Someday (someday), someday (someday), someday.

11. _ Hate Your Drug
Like four paper-dolls / all heavy with sleep, /
They hold you like a baby, / your body so weak. /
They lay you on a white bed, / almost dead at nineteen, /
Like four paper dolls / all heavy with sleep. /
And with your blonde hair / all over my dress, /
Your heart had stopped beating, / your head on my chest, /
And i told you for the last time / that i loved you best. /
And with your blonde hair / all over my dress.

12. _ Marble Lions
I'll meet you / past the great divide, yeah, /
Setting sail 'cross darkened dawn. /
Everybody wants / something, /
And i want it all. /
Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling. /
Don't say good-bye. /
Stars are calling, / take the slow train. /
Don't say good-bye. /
Marble lions / at the gates of eden /
Screaming songs to lull the rage. /
Let's raise a flag / that has no colours, /
Release the sun into the empty cathedral, yeah. /
Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling. /
Don't say good-bye. /
Stars are calling, / take the slow train. /
Don't say good-bye. /
Don't say good-bye, darling, / don't say good-bye.
Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling. /
Stars are calling, / take the slow train. /
Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling. /
Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling. /
Goodnight, darling.

15. _ I Buy American Records
Transcribed by nicola
She's an auburn-haired girl / from a town of spanish sand, /
And she wades through junior high / with a radio in her hand, /
And she never talks to the country kids, /
She just moves with the times like her mother did, /
And when / she comes in the spring, /
Her touch can do everything, /
`cause she wears my ring. /
Oo-ooh, / american records. /
She never looks at her watch, / 'cause time's the clock of her heart. /
Her eyes are a million years, / she sighs like a movie star, /
And under the boardwalk by the sea, /
With my baby is where i'll be, /
And when / she comes in the spring, /
Her touch can do everything, /
`cause she wears my ring. /
Oo-ooh, / american records. /
And under the boardwalk by the sea, /
With my baby is where i'll be, /
And when / she comes in the spring, /
Her touch can do everything, /
`cause she wears my ring. /
Oo-ooh, / american records. /
`cause she wears my ring. /
Oo-ooh, / american records. /
Oo-ooh, / american records. /
Oo-ooh, / american records. /
American records. /
American records.
