[00:22.09] |
Emma tried to run away |
[00:26.99] |
I followed her across the city |
[00:32.20] |
She went out to the Easterhouse |
[00:36.70] |
Because she liked the sound of it |
[00:41.16] |
She didn't have a single penny |
[00:46.23] |
She stuck a finger in the air |
[00:51.39] |
She tried to flag down an aeroplane |
[00:56.50] |
I suppose she needs a holiday |
[01:02.17] |
I put my arm around her waist |
[01:07.08] |
She put me on the ground with Judo |
[01:12.63] |
She didn't recognise my face |
[01:16.44] |
She wasn't even looking |
[01:24.51] |
Laura's feeling just ideal |
[01:29.50] |
Her horoscope was nearly perfect |
[01:34.73] |
She's thinking of something to do |
[01:39.12] |
Because she is The Birthday Girl |
[01:45.15] |
She walked out to the edge of town |
[01:50.17] |
She saw me lying in the park |
[01:55.28] |
She took Emma by the hand |
[01:59.41] |
They've got a lot in common |
[02:04.15] |
I'll leave them to do what they want |
[02:09.24] |
I'll leave them to do what they need to |
[02:14.46] |
I'll go and play with words and pictures |
[02:18.83] |
I'll admit I'm feeling strange |
[04:06.97] |
I'm not as sad as Doestoevsky |
[04:11.93] |
I'm not as clever as Mark Twain |
[04:16.86] |
I'll only buy a book for the way it looks |
[04:21.48] |
And then I stick it on the shelf again |
[04:27.06] |
Now I could tell you what I'm thinking |
[04:31.74] |
But it never seems to do you good |
[04:36.54] |
It's beyond me what a girl can see |
[04:41.23] |
I'm only lucid when I'm writing songs |
[04:46.88] |
This is just a modern rock song |
[04:51.91] |
This is just a sorry lament |
[04:56.87] |
We're four boys in corduroys |
[05:01.20] |
We're not terrific but we're competent |
[05:06.86] |
Stevie's full of good intentions |
[05:11.85] |
Richard's into rock 'n' roll |
[05:16.93] |
Stuart's staying in and he thinks it's a sin |
[05:21.22] |
That he has to leave the house at all |
[06:44.35] |
This is just a modern rock song |
[06:49.26] |
This is just a tender affair |
[06:54.18] |
I count "three, four" and then we start to slow |
[06:59.20] |
Because a song has got to stop somewhere |
