Alfie
Ooooo deary me, My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed, I tell him he should get up cos it's nearly quarter past three He can't be bothered cos he's high on THC. I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea, I can't even see you cos the room is so smokey, Don't understand how one can watch so much TV, My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see.
Chorus Oooooo I only say it cos I care, So please can you stop pulling my hair. Now, now there's no need to swear, Please don't despair my dear Mon frere.
Ooooo Alfie get up it's a brand new day, I just can sit back and watch your life waste away You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid. Get off your lazy arse, Alfie please use your brain Surely there's some walls out there that you can go spray, I'm feeling guilty for leading you astray, Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid, When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?
Chorus
Oh little brother please refrain from doing that, I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat. It's time that you and I sat down and had a little chat, Just look me in the eyes take off that stupid thick hat.
Chorus
Please don't despair Please don't despair Mon frere
Cheryl Tweedy
I wish I had one good reason why I should stay How'd I get myself Into this place?
I wish had qualities like sympathy Fidelity, sobriety Sincerity, humility Instead I got lunacy Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah
I wish I could fit myself in my pocket And tie myself to a rocket And send myself to outer space I wish I had a different face Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wish I had one good reason why I should stay How'd I get myself Into this place?
I wish my life was a little less seedy Why am I always so greedy? Wish I looked just like Cheryl Tweedy I know I never will, I know I never will I wish my life was not so boring Every weekend four to the flooring Don't get me started on Monday morning Get with the other girl, get with the other girl
I wish I had one good reason why I should stay How'd I get myself Into this place?
I wish I could apologise, be dignified Wish I could look you in the eye And tell you that I never lie And wish that I could stop the cries Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't wake me up today Under my duvet's where I wanna stay Don't wanna come out to play Doesn't matter what you say anyway

I wish I didn't smoke so many cigarettes Another programme on *something* on the TV set Wish I had blonde hair, wish I had green eyes So many things about myself that I despise
(I wish my life was a little less seedy) So many things about my life that I despise (I wish my life was a little less seedy) So many things that I despise (I wish my life was a little less seedy) So many things that I despise
Helps that I was in this long, dark tunnel Helps that I was in this long, dark tunnel Helps that I was in this long, dark tunnel
Everything's just wonderful
Do you think, everything, everyone, is going mental, It seems to me that it's spiralling outta control and it's inevitable, Now don't you think, This time is yours, this time is mine, Its temperamental, It seems to me, we're on all fours, Crawling on our knees, Someone help us please
Oh Jesus Christ almighty, Do I feel alright? No not slightly, I wanna get a flat I know I can't afford it, It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage, Well it's very funny cos I got your fuckin money, And I'm never gonna get it just because of my bad credit Oh well I guess I mustn't grumble, I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Chorus Oh yeah, I'm fine, Everything's just wonderful, I'm having the time of my life.
Don't you want something else, Something new, than what we've got here, And don't you feel it's all the same, Some sick game and it's not insincere, I wish I could change the ways of the world, Make it a nice place Until that day, I guess we stay, Doing what we do Screwing who we screw
Why can't I sleep at night, Don't say it's gonna be alright, I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognaise, and not feel bad about it for days and days and days. In the magazines they talk about weight loss, If I buy those jeans I can look like kate moss, Oh no it's not the life I chose, But I guess that's the way that things go,
Chorus x2
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba etc.
Oh Jesus Christ almighty, Do I feel alright? No not slightly, I wanna get a flat I know I can't afford it, It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage, Well it's very funny cos I got your fuckin money, And I'm never gonna get it just because of my bad credit Oh well I guess I mustn't grumble, I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Oh well I guess it's just the way that things go, I suppose that's the way the cookie crumbles, Oh well I guess it's just the way that things go, I suppose that's the way the cookie crumbles
Friday night
Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo
Friday night last orders at the pub, Get in the car and drive to the club, There's a massive crowd outside so we get in to the queue It's quarter past 11 now we won't get in till quarter to.
It's quarter to and we get to the front, Girl on a guest list dressed like a c*** She asked security to check in my shoes, You can play this game with me but you know you’re gonna lose.
Hook Looked me up and down, I don't make a sound, There's a lesson that I want you to learn, If you're gonna play with fire then you're gonna get burned,
Chorus Don't try and test me cos you'll get reaction, Another drink and I'm ready for action, I don't know who you think you are, But making people scared wont get you very far.
Ooooooooooooo Ooooooooooooo
In the club make our way to the bar, Good dancing love but you should of worn a bra. Guy on the mike and he's making too much noise, There's these girls in the corner wanting attention from the boys.
I see these girls and they're shouting through the crowd, Don't understand why they're being really loud. They make their way over to me, They try to push me out the way, I'll push her back, she looks at me and says, What you tryna say?
Hook Chorus x2
Friend of mine
I don't wanna start a fight, But in the background I can hear you chatting shite, I hear it every night. And you think that your really cool, You've been doing it since we were both at school, Now who looks like a fool.
Chorus You're no friend of mine girl And I've known it for a while girl, You're just a waste of time girl Why don't you have another line girl.
Hook Tell me what did you expect? Have you got no self respect? Reputation to protect? Soon you'll be a nervous wreck. (x2)
What happened to the good old days? I was hoping this was just a stupid phase
Friend of foe
Friend Or Foe I don't wanna start a fight, But in the background I can hear you chatting shite, I hear it every night. And you think that your really cool, You've been doing it since we were both at school, Now who looks like a fool.
Chorus You're no friend of mine girl And I've known it for a while girl, You're just a waste of time girl Why don't you have another line girl.
Hook Tell me what did you expect? Have you got no self respect? Reputation to protect? Soon you'll be a nervous wreck. (x2)
What happened to the good old days? I was hoping this was just a stupid phase
Knock 'em out
Alright so this is a song about anyone, it could be anyone. You're just doing your own thing and some one comes out the blue, They're like, "Alright" He's saying, "Yeah can I take your digits?" And you're like, "no not in a million years, you're nasty please leave me alone."
Cut to the pub on a lads night out, Man at the bar cos it was his shout, Clocks this bird and she looks ok, Caught him looking and she walks his way, "alright darlin, you gonna buy us a drink then?" "err no, but I was thinking of buying one for your friend..."
She's got no taste hand on his waste, tries to pull away but her lips on his face, "if you insist I'll have a white wine spritzer" "sorry love, but you ain't a pretty picture."
Chorus Can't knock em out, can't walk away, Try desperately to think of the politest way to say, Just get out my face, just leave me alone, And no you cant have me number, "why?" Because I've lost my phone.
Oh yeah, actually yeah I'm pregnant, having a baby in like 6 months so no, and yeah, yeah...
"I recognise this guy..." That's what she's thinking, As he comes over her heart starts sinking, She's like, "oh here we go.." It's a routine check that she already knows, she's thinking they're all the same.
"yeah you alright baby? You look alright still, yeah what's your name?" She looks in her bag, takes out a fag, tries to get away from the guy on a blag, can't find a light, "use mine" "you see the thing is I really don't have the time."
Chorus
Go away now, let me go, Are you stupid? Or just a little slow? Go away now I've made myself clear, Nah it's not gonna happen, Not in a a million years,
Chorus x2
nah I've gotta go cos my house is on fire, I've got herpes, err no I've got syphilis...
LDN
Riding through the city on my bike all day Cause the filth took away my licence It doesn't get me down and I feel ok Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless
Everything seems to look as it should But I wonder what goes on behind doors A fella looking dapper, but he's sittin with a slapper Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore
You might laugh you might frown Walkin' round London town
Chorus Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ? Would I wanna be anywhere else Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ? Would I wanna be anywhere else
When you look with your eyes Everything seems nice But if you look twice you can see it's all lies
There was a little old lady, who was walkin down the road She was struggling with bags from Tesco There were people from the city havin lunch in the park I believe that it's called al fresco Then a kid came along to offer a hand
But before she had time to accept it hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead Cause he's got all her jewellery and wallet
You might laugh you might frown walkin round London town
Chorus Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ? Would I wanna be anywhere else Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ? Would I wanna be anywhere else
When you look with your eyes Everything seems nice But if you look twice you can see it's all lies
Life, that's city life, yeah that's city life, that's city life Life, that's city life, yeah that's city life, that's city life
Chorus Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ? Would I wanna be anywhere else Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ? Would I wanna be anywhere else Chorus x4
Littlest things
Sometimes I find myself sittin' back and reminiscing Especially when I have to watch other people kissin' And I remember when you started callin' me your miss's All the play fightin', all the flirtatious disses I'd tell you sad stories about my childhood I don't know why I trusted you but I knew that I could We'd spend the whole weekend lying in our own dirt I was just so happy in your boxers and your t-shirt
(Chorus) Dreams, dreams Of when we had just started things Dreams of you and me It seems, it seems That I can't shake those memories I wonder if you have the same dreams too
The littlest things that take me there I know it sounds lame but it's so true I know it's not right, but it seems unfair That the things are reminding me of you Sometimes I wish we could just pretend Even if only for one weekend So come on, tell me Is this the end?
Drinkin' tea in bed Watching DVD's When I discovered all your dirty grotty magazines You take me out shopping and all we'd buy is trainers As if we ever needed anything to entertain us The first time that you introduced me to your friends And you could tell I was nervous, so you held my hand When I was feeling down, you made that face you do There's no one in the world that could replace you
(Chorus) Dreams, dreams Of when we had just started things Dreams of me and you It seems, it seems That I can't shake those memories I wonder if you feel the same way too
The littlest things that take me there I know it sounds lame but it's so true I know it's not right, but it seems unfair That the things are reminding me of you Sometimes I wish we could just pretend Even if only for one weekend So come on, tell me Is this the end?

You're walking down the post office to pick up your pension And then you're off to bingo has become an obsession So weary of the kids who are wearing their hoods up And even if they smile at you you think it's a stick-up You only buy the paper just to cut out the coupons You're saving 50p but what do you want with tampons? You're always at the doctor oicking up your prescription And they throw in some KY just to ease up the friction
You got a leak in your colostomy bag Yeah, it's got a hole in, hole in, hole in At the weekend you're shopping with your trolley It's sad, how you're rolling, rolling, rolling

Not big
Now listen I think you and me have come to the end of our time, What d'you want some kind of reaction? Well ok that's fine, Alright how would it make you feel if I told you that you never ever made me come? In the year and a half that we spent together, Yeah I never really had much fun.
All those times that I said I was sober, Well I'm afraid I lied, I'd be lying next to you, you next to me, All the time I was high as a kite. I could see it in your face when you give it to me gentle, Yeah you really must think your great, Let's see how you feel in a couple of weeks, When I work my way through your mates.
Chorus I never wanted it to end up this way, You've only got yourself to blame, I'm gonna tell them that your rubbish in bed now and that your small in the game.
I saw you thought this was gonna be easy, Well your out of luck. Yeah lets rewind, let's turn back time to when you couldn't get it up, You know what it shoulda ended there, That's when I shoulda shown you the door. If that weren't enough to deal with, You became premature.
I'm sorry if you feel that I'm being kinda mental, But you left me in such a state. But now I'm gonna do what you did to me, I'm gonna reciprocate.
Chorus Your not big your not clever, No u aint a big brother Not big what so ever.
Ahhhhhhhhh etc.
I'm sorry if you feel that I'm being kinda mental, But you left me in such a state. But now I'm gonna do what you did to me, I'm gonna reciprocate.
Shame for you
I've been thinking that you've crossed the line, if you disagree well that will be just fine, cos you waste my time and waste my money and your not too cool and your not so funny! Spreading your seed all over the town getting too greedy and messing around: Oh my gosh you must be joking me if you think that you'll be poking me.
Don't take me on no, no Don't take me on no, no Ddon't take me ooon Shattered the lie but you think I don't already know, Don't try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow Its your turn to learn I think that you know where to go It's a shame, shame, shame for you
Please don't come around and knock on my door cos I don't want to have to pick you up of the floor, when you ask if we can still be lovers, I'll have to introduce my brothers, Think that they could teach you a lesson or two, By the time they've finished you'll be black and blue You'll be crying like a baby, A sea of tears they'll call the navy in.
Don't take me on no, no Don't take me on no, no Don't take me ooon Shattered the lie but you think I don't already know, Don't try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow It's your turn to learn I think that you know where to go It's a shame shame shame for you
Don't take me on no, no Don't take me on no, no Don't take me ooon Shattered the lie but you think I don't already know, Don't try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow It's your turn to learn but I think that you know where to go It's a shame shame shame for you
Smile
When you first left me I was wanting more But you were fucking that girl next door, what you do that for When you first left me I didn’t know what to say I've never been on my own that way, just sat by myself all day
I was so lost back then But with a little help from my friends I found a light in the tunnel at the end Now you're calling me up on the phone So you can have a little wine and a moan And it's only because you're feeling alone
At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes me smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile
Whenever you see me you say that you want me back And I tell you it don't mean jack, no it don't mean jack I couldn't stop laughing, no I just couldn´t help myself See you messed up my mental health I was quite unwell
I was so lost back then But with a little help from my friends I found a light in the tunnel at the end Now you're calling me up on the phone So you can have a little whine and a moan And it's only because you're feeling alone
At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes me smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala lalala
At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes me smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Sunday morning
Sunday morning We were lying in bed Just the two of us undercover Undercover With no warning You suddenly became More than my lover
I've been waiting Oh-so very long for you to say it to me Say it to me I'd been skating Skating on thin ice If I don't agree
I know you're the one for me But it took me by surprise And if I say it back to you I can't look you in the eye I don't want to lose you I don't want to confuse you I guessed that this is my cue To give you my reply
And you killed it, you killed it You killed it with "I love you" And you killed it You killed it with "I love you" And you killed it with "I love you" What am I supposed to say back to you? When you killed it with "I love you" With "I love you"
I know it's only Only three little words That I seem to be so scared of Oh-so scared of So please show me How to get these words Off the tip off my tongue And out of my mind
I know you're the one for me But it took me by surprise And if I say it back to you I can't look you in the eye I don't want to lose you I don't want to confuse you I guessed that this is my cue To give you my reply
And you killed it, you killed it You killed it with "I love you" And you killed it You killed it with "I love you" And you killed it with "I love you" What am I supposed to say back to you? When you killed it with "I love you" With "I love you"
I have been thinking About what you said Three little words Running round in my head There's no one else that I'd rather be next you I guess what I'm trying to say Is I love you
And you killed it, you killed it You killed it with "I love you" And you killed it You killed it with "I love you" And you killed it with "I love you" What am I supposed to say back to you? When you killed it with "I love you" With "I love you"
Take what you take
A picture paints a thousand words, As one door opens, another one closes, And two wrongs don't make a right Now good things come to those who wait, Take the highs with the lows dear, You'll get what your given and everything's gonna be alright.
What the fuck do you know? Just cos you're old you think your wise, But who the hell are you though, I didn't even ask for your advice You wanna keep your mouth shut, You wanna take your thoughts elsewhere, Cos you're doing in my nut, And do you think I care?
Chorus Say what you say, Do what you do Feel what you feel, As long as it's real. I said take what you take And give what you give Just be what you want, Just as long as it's real.
Now by a horse, I once was told That all that glitters is not gold And all that is to fear is fear itself. This horsey also told me, I should keep my friends close but my enemies closer, So as to protect myself.
What the fuck do you know? Just cos you're old you think your wise, But who the hell are you though, I didn't even ask for your advice You wanna keep your mouth shut, You wanna take your thoughts elsewhere, Cos you're doing in my nut, And do u think care?
Chorus
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Chorus x4
