- Please Don't Sue!

I think the title says it all...this is published music, but I haven't stolen it or anything, but rather, figured the lyrics on my own.

I'll go by the order from oldest to newest, in the order that the tracks are listed on the albums. Words that I don't know will have __ or ?? at the end of / in the line.

Soon I will have a new, bigger, better site with a little page for each song's lyrics. Patience.

I'm always open to critisizm, and suggestions. If you disagree or can patch up any holes I have (and I know there's quite a few!), please email me at sarahlilly_irwin@hotmail.com

French Kicks Self-Titled EP

1)Arena- I dusted off my shirt
I swept my corner clean
I wanna ____
I got a new surprise
She's sewing up my seams (sleeves???)
Her pretty pout now grew right infront of my head

Yeah you give me little hearts attacks
I wanna set the clocks all back
Sunlight comes we're moving through it
I wanna do it all again
See we're moving round the bend
Remember how this soul song went
Leave me feeling so content
I don't want this night to end, come on

Well i'm not falling from my horse again
Gonna hit the ground running from the place I've been
Oh tomorrow morning gonna change my tune
Gonna kick over the flathouse where I used to room
Hey hey
I put away my winter coats again
I'm greasing up my chaplips fot a taste of spring
Yeah yeah

Well up with the new song
Down with the old one
Paint it all until it's pink
Right infront of my face
I got a new surprise
She's sewing up my seams
She'll make my pout mouth
Right in front of my head
I'm thinking
I'm leaning
Now I'm thinking:
You're feeling 

2)White - There is talent in this kid he says
Serving up with the sky and a temple to destroy
That house looks empty but that's not how it is
So take yourself and get back to the gravedig
 
Home is nothing but a limestone stack
No shotgun shack out the back and it's raining
Through the rafters and cracks in the bricks and water on the floor
Makes you brood, heel, slip

I put my head down when I'm feeling like this
Throw my neck back give my nemisis a kiss
When I'm all gone that's the only thing I'll miss
Wanna come back

Wearing white socks and white hat, white shirt and white mask
White slack and white coat and I stare
At the war in my white shoes
and disappear but I'm still here, damn empty
 
I put my head down when I'm feeling like this
Throw my neck back give my nemisis a kiss
When I'm all gone that's the only thing I'll miss
Wanna come back
 
White walls and _____ man
And I can't just stop the __

The answer was offered by the kid to do what he did
He said drive that buick(??) __
And I won't die but I'm distracted now
And again and again and again and again

I put my head down when I'm feeling like this
Throw my neck back give my nemisis a kiss
When I'm all gone that's the only thing I'll miss
Wanna come back to hey hey hey hey

Put my head down when I'm feeling like this
Throw my neck back give my nemisis a kiss
When I'm all gone that's the only thing I'll miss
Wanna come back just

3)Take In Water-Well atop this ship; I can't take it any further now
The water's not so deep; I can almost se the shore
I saw the harbour lights and I wanted to jump overboard
I warm my bed and I want you there beside me
Baby I know

Well faculties begin to faulter
And my eyes they took from port to starboard
I can't remember my last partner
And everynight we'll take in water
And everynight we'll take in water
And everynight we'll take in water
And everynight we'll take in water

The silver deck's so tight with the ___ makeup
I'll tattooed both my arms with an anchor or a sword
Wash out my last mistakes with a whisky and a water
I leave the bedroom drapes and come over there beside me
Baby I know

And faculties begin to faulter
And the eyes they took from port to starboard
I can't remember my next partner
And __________ we'll take in water
And everynight we'll take in water
And everynight we'll take in water
And everynight we'll take in water

Tides roll home
And I can't stay
Scotch first gold
I'll be on my way out
The lampost home
Shift and sway
Night turns cold
______
Man's rough day

I'll stop this ship; I can't take it any further now
I hate the rock and reel and the rattle and the roll
I just forget sometimes what it's like to run on solid ground
I want my bed and I want you there beside me
Baby I know
 

4)So Many Cakes - Real bone porcelain cups and saucers in flight formations
Gold rimmed sugar bowls, deep like swimming pools, spoons dive in
And you can crash the party when the punch bowls enters, crash your party when the candle fades
Walk that mezanine, you're caught in between, no charades
Now this pan cooks a little slow sometimes and this cake turns a little cold
Worn out way before the cars arrive
Your face sings from--from friend to foe
No charades, no ticker tape
Baked so many cakes your little fingers swell I was waiting by the oven all day
And if the batter drip drops form a layer of film swept every last crumb away and start it over this time
Now this pan cooks a little slow sometimes, and this cake turns a little cold
Worn out way before the cars arrive
Your face sings from--from friend to foe
And everybody's caught up in the grandeur, eveyone is caught up in the gold
Walk that mezanine, you're still in between, deer tracks skin crack your face looks so old
After all the guests have gone, you can pile your records on, we could let em drop to dawn, one by one
Then lick all the icing from your fingertips and shining arms
We could let the party run till the music's done And the music's done (watch this one his blood runs hot. His blood is boiling now...underneath, etc.)
After all the guests are gone, you can pile your records on, we could let em drop till dawn, one by one
(hero, hero...etc)
Then lick all the icing from, your fingertips and shining arms, we could let the party run till the music's done
And the music's done.
Hero, hero...


- Like a tired old record you get played out

Young Lawyer

1) Young Lawyer - I love my pretty little castaway
Been casting glances at her everyday
I know I took all my pills today
I took all my pills today

You're lookin for a new frustartion
A bit of skin and a bit of lip
I know a bit cuz the streets are better
Oh I never bet you found a love down there

One to another all undercover
Under the table that's how I see ya
One to another promise a number
Millions of people Friday feeling

Now now now now now now now now

Little gallop little short spell
This little pony got me short of breath
I know I took all my pills today
I took all my pills today

I've finally found a new relation
Gives me the shakes and makes my heart go stop
I'm so at home with this homesick maker
Oh gives me the shivers makes my stomach drop

One to another all undercover
That's how I see ya
Under the table
Wanted a number
Millions of people
Friday's a feeling
Under the table
Turn it around and
Holding each other
One to another
All undercover
Wanted a number
Millions of people
That's how I see ya
Friday the feeling

Now now now now now now now now (x4)

2) Living Room Is Empty - When you walk around you know you feel ok
Although you've had some mornings that make you cry
You took 'em lying down
You took 'em oh so hard
And when you call the phone and talk to me and explain
I try to hark the words and not obey
They came out wrong
And I was back where I started

There is only one person that talks that way
And you use imagination in the back of the cab
You took it all the way
Home to my empty room

Well I remembered that expression for the rest of my life
My answer to the party line up in and go get her
Reach inside my kitchen for that old carving knife
To mess up all my people
Make 'em see a little redder hey

When I do my dirt will you stand up high
And tell me how you got to be this way
I listened all the time
I wait around so long
And if you ever thought of dying to kill yourself
Like a tired old record you get played out
And you'll be on your own
Buried in the ground

Well I remember that expression for the rest of my life
My answer to the party line up in and go get her
Reach inside my kitchen for that old carving knife
To mess up all my people
Make 'em see a little better hey

Woke up with a new song
Woke up with a tightrope
Living room is empty
Did you even miss me?
I knew about the last time
This could be the last time
Smoke going up the chimney
Can I take you with me?
Living room is empty
Dead with the memory
I can't get over now
Roll over now

If you ever thought of dying to kill yourself
Like a tired old record you get played out
And you'll be on your own
Buried in the ground

3) The 88 - Biding my time 88 style
Be sure that I'm head in my hands
Me and this man
Who carved in his mask
And ___ his skin with elicit pills
I wanted all that I had feeling
Walking me to the ___ show
Sliping my mugshots into your pocket
Why can't we trade that in for letting me go?

I do we eh
I do we eh

Out in no time
Thats what they said
But Central was down again and again
Such a day they had to ruin
I get so loved in that day
I had nothing since last evening
And if you know me I know you'll let me go

I do we eh
I do we eh
I do we eh
I do we eh

I want to know when to follow (x 10)

4) Call Our Hands - Unfinished.

5) Destro - N/A

6) Piano - I'm feeling summer coming in and coming on again
Like waxing needles pushing through my tired frozen skin.
If I go walking then I know you wanna let me in, please
Plastic bus stop, yeah I thought I saw you waiting there
Or on the corner by the store trying to get somewhere
If you could take my worst words anywhere, it's now
I know you can see me (x 10)

Alright

In my dirty basement you were so pristine
Standing up, drinking out the side of the can
and I wanna take you home with me every single day
To show you (x 19)

 


- Why did we stayed tied down to staring the sidewalk down?

One Time Bells

1) Wrong Side - Got you on the wrong side of me
Went and had my mind made up so suddenly
And it's being hungry when you can't take a fall away

Got you on the phone guiltin' me
Thinkin' how you looked at me so eagerly
But it was some of them kids in the city playing

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Trying to say everything but knowing you
I'd hate to see you looking so down

Wished you weren't so tired to me but you are
Sooner then it happens to almost you all
Right on my way home

Still in my mind won't you give us a call
Summer's so fine I don't need at all
Right you so said

Yeah

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Every time I look at you
I see you just like looking through the windows downtown

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Trying to say everything but knowin' you
I'd hate to see you lookin' so down

Got you on the wrong side of me
Went and had my mind made up so suddenly
And it's being hungry when you can't take the fall away

And I saw this willin' to kill the rest of the day
I try to look at you that way
It drives me (hey oh ah)

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Every time I look at you
I see you just like looking through the windows downtown

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Trying to say everything
But knowing you I'd hate to see you lookin' so down

2) When You Heard You - Put out my hand, put out your waterin' eyes
When I've seen better ways to waste my time
Put out my hand, put out your waterin' eyes
Oh why have I seen better ways to waste some time

And when you heard you
Coupled with some compliment
And you tried not to whine
Not to feel already spent
When it's true look at you
In the midnight hour and it said
"Oh oh do we have a good thing going yet?"
 
Ohh ohh

Get out your hand get out your mind I know
Without some violence you won't want to slow
Get out your hand get out your mind I know oh oh
When nothin else can make you so slow

Fate is our fire gone
Hangin on and on
Wild times with the latest one
Fate is our fire gone

Nooo

ohh ohh ohh

When true love to follow
The ride to a glow
And you follow tomorrow
The one where you know
All night to hide out
Fly back home
When it's longer to follow
Then to leave it alone

3) Down Now - Gotta stop now
Ya get me so down
This feeling still in everyones
Cheating ourselves
When you do it all this way
I've always said
"It's easy that way, it's easy to manipulate and take
me to war and squirrel it away"
When you wake up cold and alive you go

But I thought I had it down now
This is what I asked for
And I know I would get down now
But I'm not you so let it go

I ___ again to see if you grinned
A second look is all I ask for
Nothing's wrong when nothings so bad
This offence is all you live for
You're so down
You make me slow down
And I forgot you're just that way
You thought you're so bad
Turn me away
I know why cuz when they wanted
Pictures of you
Guy in his van
Took you to hell and was all the rage and
I was let down cuz people go down
Steal myself for more of the same

But I thought I had it down now
This is what I asked for
And I know I would get down now
But I'm not you so let it go

But I thought I had it down now
This is what I asked for
And I know I would get down now
But I'm not you so let it go

And I waited so alone to tell you
Gather around to get it all
And I waited so alone for nothing
You get by with nothing (x 4 over chorus repeated)

4) Crying Just For Show - Feeling sick like everybody is
Holdin up the wall like it could fall in
Waited with your arms all night
You know how to feel alright
And you love all everybody here
Even when you want some all to disappear
Thought of doing something right

I do

Give me someone's hand to follow
Know that it's a bitter pill to swallow
Trying to make you drive all night
Trying to put up all the fights
But you love this any way you know
When you come clean you're crying just for show
Maybe half of all the time
And every once in a great while
They will catch you when you smile
They know how to feel alright

I do
Do

Counting one two three four five
Counting one two three four five

5) Close to Modern - You make a pretty fine memory ohh
Once you find out next to me ohh
Just in time now wait and see ohh
If they're crying out for you or me

You wanna live right over the time
Give me everything I know
Oh everything I know

You wanna live right over the time
Give me everything I know
Oh everything I know

Close to modern, close to modern

Oooh you watch you're so pretty
When we never stop giving till we get lost everytime
My baby don't you ever stop hanging on me
What I think of you we get lost everytime

Whoo-hoo-hoo-ahh (x 9)

6) 1985 - Another night said, I have to calm down
Another day be another red light yeahhh
I heard the sound see I heard this on the one
Tell me in my hand whoa-oh your hand
And everytime we stop see ya get a little thrill
It's all over there, I know I know

I waited on the feeling I waited all the time
I hate the sort of feeling when there's someone else in mind
And it's the time for killing I hear it all the time

Drive me alone and I was colour-blind
What do what you say
Maybe never want it see at all, nooo
It sounds like 1985 in my hand whoa-oh your hand
And we got out just barely alive
ahh-a-ahh-a-ahh-a-ahh

I waited on the feeling I waited all the time
I hate the sort of feeling when there's someone else in mind
And it's the time for killing I hear it all the time

Another notice out on the phone-line
(Line clashes wonder what catches)
Do you wanna hang me, me on the clothes-line
(Now I'm feelin fine really such a fine time)

Glad I ran into you
Glad that I found you
Know I don't mind you
I'm keeping in mind
Glad I ran into you
Glad I ran off with you
Ahhhhhh

7) Right In Time - Look at how we set it up
Everytime with nothing wrong
We could go, it's bad enough
I had to lay it down
I had to hang it up
Still hate a lying call
Kinda makes my chest tight up
Don't wanna make no more

Look at how we set it up
Everytime with nothing wrong
We could go, it's bad enough
I had to live it down
I was right in time
Right in line
Right in time
Right in line

Changed my mind there was something left
But I tried and tried
And I couldn't care that we had some times
I remember fine
Look at how we wasted time
To everything not at all
Tryin to get off that line
I have to pull it down
Got me feelin pretty full

Right in time
Right in line
Right in time
Right in line

Right in time
I could never make another home
Right in line
Put it where we'd never find it
If I tried and tried
I could find another way
Look now we cry and cry
And the baby's up and __ at you too

Right in time
Right in line

8) Trying Whining - N/A

9) One Time Bells - Islands and inside down
Riding the next line downtown
Shadowed when it slowed down
Why did it stop so loud ___?
Time is when we got out
Why did we stay tied down to
Staring the sidewalk down?

I been running still the same

And they started to complain
And it started to get older
In the state that it's in ?
Every days just the same
And this time we started over

This morning we're at it again
? like love my ?
? like ? the skin
Once we slide it 
Have you ever stopped where?

Well

A child's screaming at a way-out ball
Looking very fine all the people that you are

Ringing one time bells
Ringing one time bells

Another town I'll be critical
Working all the fun when we're rid of it all
Ringing one time bells
I answer

The neighbours they're at it again
The scapegoats below won't matter
They're wearing a sound from within
Once they stop
Have you ever stopped when?

la la la laaa
la la la laaa
la la la laaaaa
la la la laaa
la la la laaa
la la la laaa
la la la laaaaa
la la la laaa

10) Where We Went Off - Lately we've been known
To wait until we've thrown anything
Still it seems we know what we know
It's not  a thing

If we don't stand out
Straighten up
Where will it keep us apart?

Falling into your hands
Into my arms
It's where we went off and it's where we belong
Into your hands
Into my arms
And everyone

I don't know if
Break it down if
It's worth stayin up all night

The longer it goes on
Oh there's nothing wrong at all


Falling into your hands
Into my arms
It's where we went off and it's where we belong
Into your hands
Into my arms
And everyone

Into your hands
Into my arms
It's where we went off and it's where we belong
Into your hands
Into my arms and everyone

11) Sunday Night Is Fair - N/A
