Squeeze - Action Speaks Faster - lyrics

(difford/tilbrook)
Action speaks faster
Faster than words
Pull her towards you
Let love be heard
And when we kissed there was a room that had been emptied
You said so much without a word Id been tempted
Loves not for sale theres not a price
Who could have rented
Who lives here now come out and be found where I have nested
My eyelashes swam up through the tears
The moments that passed took two or three years
And when we talked there was rain and no attraction
Hand to my head, eyes to the ground, no reaction
Our love was home, now its a fort thats held up to ransom
What of us now, now theres no laughs, where is the action

Squeeze - A Moving Story - lyrics

(difford/tilbrook)
She moved from clapham
And didnt look back
Her life was changed in an instant
The van was filled up
And tied to the rack
Her home that now seemed so distant
Kissing goodbye
To her friends on the stairs
She felt a loss deep within her
Sat in the front seat with stuff everywhere
The neighbours said they would ring her
They moved to the sea front
And loved their new view
Of tides coming in on the shingle
She and her daughter
Found new things to do
At last it was good to be single
And in the summer
The place came alive
Lights on the pier in the evening
The fresh sea air
And could cut with a knife
Such a wonderful feeling
She worked in a pub
Where bands would appear
On a tiny stage in the corner
She watched them load in
With tattered old gear
The place would get like a sauna
London had gone now
Her new life was strong
She found herself a new karma
She fell for a man
Who played with a band
And took her life from its drama
She moved from clapham
And didnt look back
The past was neatly extinguished
He was much younger
But she lived with that
He struggled hard with his english
She felt his loving
And proudly reclaimed
All of the warmth shed been lacking
They lay in bed
Looking out at the rain
No more moving or packing
She moved from clapham
And didnt look back
Her life had changed in an instant

Squeeze - 853-5937 - lyrics

(difford/tilbrook)
853-5937
Angela cant make it to the phone
If you care to leave your name and number
Shell give you a ring when she is home
Every time I called her I got the message
I listened to the voice coming down the line
I couldnt speak to a tape recording
I redialed it a number of times
853-5937
Angela cant make it to the phone
If you care to leave your name and number
Please speak clearly after the tone
Shell give you a ring when she gets home
I rang her this morning so very early
The same old message coming down the phone
I should go and see if her house is empty
Maybe shes poorly perhaps shes not home
Shes in mill hill Im in bermondsey
Its the end of the earth on the northern line
It makes it so hard for me to see
The one that I love but can never find.
I called up a close friend who lives right by her
I got the message he was out too
I was suspicious, are they together
Ive got to find out that this isnt true

Squeeze - Annie Get Your Gun - lyrics

(difford/tilbrook)
She goes for her medical
Shes passed, its a miracle
Shes up over the moon
She whistles nonsense tunes
She wants drinks for everyone
Shes found a chord that she can strum
Emotions leaking out
Her paints all over town
Whats that shes playing?
(annie get your gun)
Whats that shes taking?
(the song has to be sung)
Shes gone electric
(annie wipe them out)
Thats unexpected
(strum that thing and shout)
Dont pull that trigger
(annie get your gun)
Dont shoot that singer
(youre shooting number one)
Hes not into miracles
Sees life all too cynical
The cat has got his tongue
Now she bangs on his drum
He says pull the other one
Bells ring, look what you have done
Emotions leaking out
Her paints all over town

Squeeze - Another Nail For My Heart - lyrics

(difford/tilbrook)
The case was pulled from under the bed
She made a call to a sympathetic friend
And made arrangements
The door was closed there was a note
I couldnt be bothered
Maybe Ill choke
No more engagements
With where have you beens
And faraway frowns
Trying to be good
By not being round
And here in the bar
The piano mans found
Another nail for my heart
That stupid old bug
That kills only love
I want to be good
Is that not enough
So play me the song
That makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
Then play me that song
That makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
I had excuses those little boy lies
That she computed by watching my eyes
And told me firmly
She couldnt stand it Im bad on her heart
She dropped her makeup and I found the bar
Now it concerns me
Ive had a bad time
Now love is resigned
Ive been such a fool
Ive loved and goodbyed
So here in the bar
The piano mans found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar
The piano mans found
Another nail for my heart

Squeeze - Big Beng - lyrics

(difford/tilbrook)
The liberator of sin
The giver of delight
I took the drug
And went out like a light
I giggled on the bed
As I stared at the wall
I was the one who felt ever so small
I couldnt take it
I couldnt win with my thoughts
Forever playing chess
And keeping reports
On whatever I saw
And whatever moved
I was emperor for an hour
I had nothing else to do
The universe caved in
My legs fell away
I took the drug but you didnt say
That I would be you and you would be me
When I took the pill
That put me to sleep
I couldnt take it
I couldnt spin all the plates
Forever in a mind field of personal games
What could I do
I was caesar of rome
Thank God I woke up
To find you had come home

Squeeze - Black Coffee In Bed - lyrics

(difford/tilbrook)
Theres a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was
And theres ash in the pages
Now Ive got myself lost
I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye
With the way that you left me
I can hardly contain
The hurt and the anger
And the joy of the pain
Now knowing I am single
Theyll be fire in my eyes
And a stain on my notebook
For a new love tonight
From the lips without passion
To the lips with a kiss
Theres nothing of your love
That Ill ever miss
The stain on my notebook
Remain all thats left
Of the memory of late nights
And coffee in bed
Now shes gone
And Im back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Now shes gone
And Im out with a friend
With lips full of passion
And coffee in bed

Squeeze - Bonkers - lyrics

(difford/tilbrook)
I know that Im bonkers
Stupidity conquers
Forgive me I know not what I do
The cunning behaviour
Takes up every acre
Of emotional cage in the zoo
You know how it goes
The volcano blows
Eruptions hold the duvet down
The words on the lips
The sticking out ribs
As I try to push my weight around
Im sorry please witness
This act of forgiveness
Its all I can do for her to see
That I was the sad case
A mouse in the rat race
Wont somebody pass me the cheese
The size of her breasts
Like woodpeckers nests
Would comfort me on winter nights
The brains in my pants
Create milli amps
Of pleasure with seconds of delight
Im bonkers believe me
A federico fellini
Im swinging on the windmills of my mind
Where I have been ground down
Im still walking down town
Im leaving all this madness behind
Laid back on the couch
With me the old slouch
For an oscar on the silent screen
Theres no time to waste
As I fill my fat face
With a pizza slice and custard cream
Im sorry I hurt you
Im bonkers believe me

Squeeze - Another Nail In My Heart - lyrics

The case was pulled from under the bed

I couldn't be bothered maybe I'll choke
No more engagements

And here in the bar
The pianoman's found
Another nail in my heart

Another nail for my heart

And here in the bar

Another nail for my heart

Squeeze - Ain't It Sad - lyrics

No cameras, no lights, no stars in my eyes
And no way of getting through to you
No writing, nor call with a two-time tart
And no way to make a dream come true
Walking up the street, take a hold of my hand
Its just a postcard of the place I knew
Because aint you sad girl, aint it sad
Aint you sad girl, aint it sad
Funny little things I thought I never had
No afternoon cafe(? ), missing english and math
And off to the slammin summer coast
No waiter, no tips no movies, no scripts
And no way of getting into my post
Riding up the street take a hold of my wheel
Its just a life time and I make the most
Because aint you sad girl, aint it sad
Aint you sad girl, aint it sad
Funny little things I thought I never had
Because aint you sad girl, aint it sad
Aint you sad girl, aint it sad
Funny little things I thought I never had
No walking down the beach, no girls left to speak
And no time to mess around with a kiss
No wlaking her home, when she is feeling alone
And no time to get her under the peir
Running up the steets, you can catch us if you can
This is my lifetime and I will not fear
Because aint you sad girl, aint it sad
Aint you sad girl, aint it sad
Funny little things I thought I never had
Funny little things I thought I never had
Funny little things I thought I never had
