BLACK AND WHITE DRESS (Alex Gavaghan)
SHE'LL make the sun come out
(With her black and white dress)
Make her rivals pout
Floating up the stairs
No need to put on airs
SMile after sMile
She makes all the boys go WILD! WILD! WILD!
Gliding down the street
Man she looks so neat
You can't compete
And a smile so sweet
The best in town
Makes all the boys go WOW! WOW! WOW!
The kind o girl
Who never goes out of style, YEAH!
The jealous looks all around her
She don't care what the other people think, NO!
See her everyday
She never looks my way
But that's OK man
I still look anyway MAN
Smile after smile
She makes all the boys go WILD!

GIVE YOUR LOVE TO ME (Alex Gavaghan)
I'M having trouble shifting my gaze
Though I've developed numerous ways
Sitting over here with my loins ablaze
GIVEYOURLOVEOHGIVEYOURLOVEOHGIVEYOURLOVETOME!
Oh my resistance is week
Those EyEs of yours'd make a eunuch seep
Look away girl so I can take a pEEk
GIVEYOURLOVEOHGIVEYOURLOVEOHGIVEYOURLOVETOME!
You know I know you know it's just a cursory goodbye
With this midday clammy handshake
But I'll be dreaming of you when I'm alone tonight
I always find a way
To get you under my duvet
Come on over for a little play
GIVEYOURLOVEOHGIVEYOURLOVEOHGIVEYOURLOVETOME!
You don't know that I know I got history on my side
I'm willing to use every string in my bow
To get to know you better on the inside
Gazing at me with your treats anew
Bending low with your little see-through
There's next to nothing that I wouldn't do
So GIVEYOURLOVEOHGIVEYOURLOVEOHGIVEYOURLOVETOME!

COULDN’T KEEP MY BIG MOUTH SHUT (Alex Gavaghan)
BROKEN in the gloom of this Travelodge room
And the generous expenses can’t keep my mind away from what am I to do
I COULDN’T KEEP MY BIG MOUTH SHUT!
You played the tease and you played it with ease
But I wouldn't go as far to say you had me on my knees
But PLEASE all the same
I COULDN’T KEEP MY BIG MOUTH SHUT!
I could've had you girl in the palm of my hand but
I let my guard down for a while
What care you for me cruel temptress of the sea?
I was harpooned and slain by your sMilE
I played the fool
My strongest role to date
Now I hover by the phone and I WAIT WAIT WAIT
For my fate!
I COULDN’T KEEEEEEEP MY BIIIIIIIG MOUTH SHUT!

NO-ONE IN MY HEART (NO-ONE IN MY MIND) (Alex Gavaghan)
WELL IT’S 10:42 and I got nothing to do so I’m just laying here
The cars are speeding past in the rain outside my window
O! I wish that I could sing about someone that I’m missin’
Someone I’ve been longing for, someone that I’m kissin’
But I can’t.
I’ve got no-one in my heart, I’ve got no-one on my mind
Walk past the bars and the lovers and the friends are all laughing in there
Steam upon the window well I didn't have the heart to show my face in there
Fish and chips for one it ain’t no fun
And this dusty old bottle o wine
Is mine all alone
I’ve got no-one in my heart, I’ve got no-one on my mind
But I ain’t so lonely, I don’t feel at all blue
Just me and my self only
But I knew right from the start I had no room left in my heart
Well I’ve been know to shed a tear or two
But that was years ago
Other people to consider, other words had to deliver
To feed their ego
I could pretend I don't like feeling this way
But that would be a lie you know ‘cause things are just OK
No no I can’t.
I’ve got no-one in my heart, I’ve got no-one on my mind

LA! LA! LA! LUCY (Alex Gavaghan)
I KNEW that it was love when she looked me in the eyes
And asked me why do all fish self-pluralise?
Looking down there at the river
What did I see?
But a solitary pike staring back at me
O well, the shallows in the summer are a good place to feed!
LA! LA! LA! Lucy didn’t know
LA! LA! LA! Lucy didn’t see
LA! LA! LA! Lucy found the whole, whole thing absurd
She jumped right into my heart such a lonely, lonely little bird
O the Barley Bridge stretch only fifteen foot wide
With a bank of bulrushes on the other side
Looking down there at the river
What did I see?
All the pike and the perch were a swimmin’ at my feet
And Lucy’s big brown eyes were a turnin’ up the heat
LA! LA! LA! Lucy didn’t know
LA! LA! LA! Lucy didn’t see
LA! LA! LA! Lucy found the whole, whole thing absurd
She jumped right into my heart such a lonely, lonely
Into my soul such a lonely, lonely
Into my heart such a lonely, lonely………… LITTLE BIRD!

FlEMISH GIRL (Alex Gavaghan)
Some rainy night in Oostend met a FlEMISH GIRl!
Talked about Marvin with the FlEMISH GIRl!
I had some good Moules-Frites with the FlEMISH GIRl!
I never will forget though I wish I never met her
I took a fancy to a Flemish girl
She pulled me back to her home
I made my escape through the kitchen window
Now she just won’t leave me alone
Walking in the drizzle with the FlEMISH GIRl!
My enthusiasm fizzled for the FlEMISH GIRl!
I shared my last Chimay with the FlEMISH GIRl!
I didn’t have a car a service station too far
She really could scream the little FlEMISH GIRl!
An internet dream the little FlEMISH GIRl!
But in the flesh and blood the little FlEMISH GIRl!
SHE WAS OUT OF HER MIND!
She didn’t HALF look fine though!
Out in to the street from the FlEMISH GIRl!
She did look kind o sweet the little FlEMISH GIRl!
But I didn't look back at the FlEMISH GIRl!
She was sexually absurd and I was actually quite scared

WAITING FOR YER FANNY (Alex Gavaghan)
IT’S the fourth time we’ve circled this roundabout today
And the petrol gauge old dear is clicking low
It ain’t my first language but I’ve tried my best to say
That my saucisson is weeping and my mind is getting slow
And in the light
O the broken forest light
Drinking champagne under pine trees oh so tall
Our agenda is jam-packed today
And I’ll be waiting for yer Fanny when you call
Le Verdon FORMIDABLE!
Les Calanques MAGNIFIQUE!
But in those translucent waters
My heart it felt so weak
Those bikini-clad beauties
That torturous bare flesh
Burnt holes upon my retinas no wank could readdress
And in the sun, O the burning summer sun
Upon mountain sides so careful not to fall
She swam all the way to the other side alone
And I’ll be waiting for yer Fanny when you call
LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA!
It’s all about where you've been and what you done today
There’s no room for reflection of any kind
Old Fanny’s in the water
She's flapping about again
I got a Leffe Brune in my right hand
I got Houellebecq on the brain
And on the beach, O the afternoon beach
The fishermen bringing in their morning haul
I’ll be sitting near the strange Russian family again
And I’ll be waiting for yer Fanny when you call

COLOUR IN THE MORNING (Alex Gavaghan)
IT took a long time to cross the Atlantic
To us eye weary viewers on the other side
We invented the thing but the Yanks exploited it
The Japanese followed quickly now export worldwide
The costs are prohibitively high
But Daddy’s been working overtime
We’re getting colour in the morning, OH YEAH!
We’re getting colour in the morning, OH YEAH!
We’re getting colour in the morning, OH YEAH!
Any colour, shade or hue
From the red, green and blue
DOO! DOO! DOO! DOO! DOO! DOO!
We may have waited thirteen years
But the BBC they bided their time
Attenborough got it on the second channel
With a complete test of the four different types:
Outside broadcast, filmed, taped shows, live studio presentations!
The first colour set on our street
Who cares if it’s on HP?
We’ll show that twat next door
How far our money goes!
The standard of the shows was higher than expected
On the much superior PAL
Leave the Yanks to their fuzzy images
Lobbying, commercials and SELL! SELL! SELL!
Leaning all night on the windowsill
For that chrominance signal down from Winter Hill

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? (Alex Gavaghan)
WHAT do hear when you go to bed to bed at night?
Does the silence confuse yer?
What do you see when you open up your eyes?
Does the world bemuse yer?
It comes on like a razorblade pillow
It gets me in the dead of the night
Tried to explain it but the words they never ever come out right
Where d’you find the time for all this nonsense?
Look at all this space I’m only ever gonna use it in my own subconscious
I wish that it would leave me be
This separation of the body and the mind
But I’m an accommodating man
And evidently not too difficult to find
You just down know where I’m coming from
But I live round here too
Won’t you tell me?
Tell me
DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
I just don't know where your coming from
But you live round here too
Won’t you tell me?
Tell me
DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?

OVER THE OVERFLOW (Alex Gavaghan)
THEY paint the bridge half green for the ghosts unseen
Going OVER THE OVERFLOW!
The tears are collecting in my groundbait tin
Going OVER THE OVERFLOW!
Once there were swans then the speedboats came
Going OVER THE OVERFLOW!
Despite all the skimmers never made any winners
Going OVER THE OVERFLOW!
We're going all the way to Widnes baby just watch me
Round the bend near the basin where the pipe's up above
I'm not being funny you're the only one I love
Sat near the fella with the fishing umbrella
It's a good winter peg on the swimfeeder
Village or not, I really like the stories
And the landing stage is showing her age
Past the field where Bert Trautmann parried in the War
The wild garlic thrives in the hills up above
I'm not being funny, you're the only one I love
The boys from Windermere are out with the rifle
They've been egging all morning now they're on to the hard stuff
Warby's field looks delightful in the sunshine
Those Sondico gloves'll really last you a life time
I can't live 'cause of liars so I go now
The dog walkers yapping on the carriage up above
I'm not being funny you're the only one I love
THE ONLY ONE I LOVE!
