Lyrics - International Velvet: Catatonia @ WelshBands
Mulder and Scully
I'd rather be liberated. I find myself captivated
I'd rather stay
bold and lonely. I dream I'm your one and only
Stop doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
I'd rather be jumping ship. I find myself jumping
straight in
Forever be dozy and dim. I wake myself thinking of him
Stop
doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
Things are getting strange. I'm
starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are
getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
My bed is made for two and there's
nothing I can do
So tell me something I don't know.
If my head is full of
you, is there nothing I can do?
Must we all march in two by two by two?
And as for some happy ending. I'd rather stay single and thin
Stop
doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
Things are getting strange I'm
starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are
getting strange now I can't sleep alone...here
Game On
You know the time to act is now
Before the sands of time run out
I
know that I could never
Fall from grace I'm far to clever
I will achieve
my destiny
My stars ascend a certainty
I know that I could never
Fall
from grace I'm far too clever
Boy sees, boy takes, boy hooked
And the
subjects closed
Worst case scenario becomes real
I don't show
No
clever clevers can dissuade
From tougher substance I was made
I know that
I could never
Fall from grace I'm far too clever
Boy sees, boy takes, boy
hooked
And the subjects closed
Worst case scenario becomes real
I
don't show
You know the time to act is now
I Am The Mob
I put horse's heads in people's beds
Cause I am the mob
When duty
calls, gonna bust some balls
Cause I am the mob
Don't try and tell me
it's not one for the money,
two for the money, three for the money
Am I
your Easter bunny?
Come on
I try my level best, my best to please
But
I'm gonna put a bullet between your knees
Baby come on, oh just tell them
Stop blowing the Don, put his keks back on
Cause I am the mob
Stop
mucking around with a brand new sound
Cause I am the mob
Don't try and
tell me it's not one for the money,
two for the money, three for the
money
Am I your Easter bunny?
Come on
I try my level best, my best to
please
But I'm gonna put a bullet between your knees
Baby come on, oh
just tell them
That Luca Brasi ah, he sleeps with the fishes
Missus
I am the mob
Road Rage
If all you've got to do today is find your peace of mind
Come
round
You can take a piece of mine
If all you've got to do today is
hesitate
Come here, you can leave it late with me
You could be taking it
easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cos you know,
its all over the front page
You give me road rage
Racing through the best
days
And it's you boy driving me crazy
Thinking you may be losing your
mind
If all you've got to prove today is your innocence.
Calm down,
you're as guilty as can be
If all you've got to lose alludes to
yesterday.
Yesterday's through.
Now do anything you please
You could
be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cos you know, its all over the front page
You give me road
rage
Racing through the best days
And it's you boy driving me
crazy
Thinking you may be losing your mind
Space age, road rage, fast
lane, minimum wage
Home late, upgrade, short-changed, golden age
Front
page, lose face, handmade, space ache
Backstage, outraged, disgraced,
maximum weight
Johnny Come Lately
I'm sorry you couldn't make it
You could have seen him, so weathered
and dated
He was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate him
If you'd seen his botanical leanings
First prize exhibit and all down to
good spirit
He was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate me
If I envied the things that he spoke of
How I envied the things that he
thought of
He was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate
me
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
To find out hoe
to make a garden grow
Where the sun no longer shines
If I asked too many
questions and stayed behind
To find out how to make a garden grow
But he
never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil
He didn't need us,
just tempted and teased us
You could have been here, wishing you were
here
This was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate
me
He was a Johnny come lately
And I know that you would hate me
If I
told you that I made some time and stayed behind
To find out hoe to make a
garden grow
Where the sun no longer shines
He assured me that the seeds
you sold were sound
But I must have cast them all on stony ground
And now
the sun won't shine
I must have asked too many questions
And stayed
behind to find out how to make a garden grow
But he never ever gave away
the secret of this godforsaken soil
Goldfish and Paracetamol
A dead loss, no songs
No fun, just glum
Lying next to
someone
Don't mention the war
So don't question where we stand
Or
where we fall
North, South, East where's best?
If I head left
It turns
out directionless
And needle point aside
I always find
Embroidery
leaves me blind
'cos I'm too weary to rest
Since I noticed
Coming
second best is close to ideal
What fools boredom breeds
So much to
do
So many goldfish to feed
And Paracetamol
I take them all
They
line my stomach wall
With customary thirst
I search a water glass
But
gin hits first
Oh don't believe the hype
Expectancy will always spoil a
party
It's tourniquet by crochet
My waters break
Don't drive for
pity's sake
'cos I'm too weary to rest
Since I noticed
Coming second
best
Is close to ideal

Every day when I wake up
I thank the lord I'm welsh
Why I Can't Stand One Night Stands
You're adamant
So loose limbered I give in
Although your bed is
warm
The worn springs creak of regret
And lust is the thief who crept
away
While we were sleeping
Now you're doing my head in
The lines,
the blinds are drawn
We are intimate strangers
I'm reborn; it's a false
dawn
Where we've been, I forget
And Saturday's fuss is just small town
lust
It's me I'm cheating
Now you're doing my head in
Part Of The Furniture
I'll be your Baba Papa
I'll be your Baba Papa
If you'll be a Baba
Papa to me
I'd be your table and chair
Philippe stark or Bill
Amberg
If you'll be a Baba Papa to me
And I'd be your angel
Ride you
until you're warmer
Be your cradle
Swing you until you fall
I'd be
your son and your heir
Destitute but debonair
Though ill advised and ill
in debt
I'd never be drained or misled
I saw your dreams and
infatuated
With this freedom
You say the words and I could be them
And
I'd be your angel
Ride you until you're warmer
Be your cradle
Swing
you until you're tired out
Don't Need The Sunshine
Well it's a most peculiar feeling
Like sunburn in the evening
With
dark clouds on their way
And you think it's most unlikely
Life could ever
shine as brightly
Once the sun has gone down and the pressure's on
And
the rain is here again
But you don't need the sunshine
Don't need the
good times
Don't need anyone's giving
And I don't mind your lies so keep
on talking
Do you find the change in season?
Affects you without
reason
You've greetings but nothing more to say
And you swear you'd feel
much better
If only summer'd last forever
But the sky is clear and you're
nowhere near
And the rain is here again
But you don't need the
sunshine
Don't need the good times
Lean on me maybe you could see it
through
If you would only believe a single word is true
But you don't
need the sunshine
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's
giving
And I don't your lies so keep on talking
I throw away my
sunshines
My so-called lifelines
Do you know what I mean?
When I
decided that the answer
Could not be bought across the river
My sista
dista had left for good
Now the rain has gone away
But you don't need the
sunshine
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's
giving
And I don't mind your lies so keep on talking
Strange Glue
It was strange glue that held us together
While we both came apart
at the seams
She said your place or mine
While we've still got the
time
So I played along with her schemes
But I don't have the right to be
with you tonight
So please leave me alone with no saviour
I will sleep
safe and sound with nobody around me
When faced with my demons
I clothe
them and feed them
And I smile, yes I smile
As they're taking me over
And if I cannot sleep
For the secrets I keep
It's the price I'm
willing to meet
Oh the end of the night
Never comes too quickly for me
My Selfish Gene
You, me and destiny
Guess that it was never meant to be
All you
did was give me allergy
I'm not looking for your sympathy
My selfish
gene
It fills my spleen with bile
And all the while
I thought you gave
a damn
You, me and destiny
I am courted by uncertainty
Lost my will to
live life unselfishly
Altruism stinks of fallacy
My selfish gene
It
fills my spleen with bile
And all the while
I thought you gave a damn
