Unsure of what’s mine …
where did it all go right
Unsure of who’s line …
I’m counting the days and nights
What are you thinking of …
who do you take me for
Making up for lost time …
picking myself off the floor
Unsure when bells chime …
give me a warning sign
Unsure of who’s lying …
I can’t tell who’s wrong and who’s right
What are you thinking of …
who do you take me for
Making up for lost time …
picking myself off the floor
A child has grown and learned to cry
It’s been hard
The child in me didn’t learn to fly
It’s so hard …
What are you thinking of …
who do you take me for
Making up for lost time …
picking myself off the floor
What are you thinking of …
who do you take me for
Making up for lost time …
picking myself off the floor

Andy …..
kick off your sandals
It’s scandalous …..
that I’m making this rhyme
Cowboys and indie girls and plastic indelible sounds
Mod guys and dolly mixtures … vinyl goes around and around
Andy …..
kick off your sandals
It’s scandalous …..
that I’m making this rhyme
Sometimes …..
The Lemonheads’ ‘sunshine’
They were just friends of mine …..
Andy, where is the crime?
Northern Soul girls, rock and roll boys …
how does it feel to be loved
Beauty junkies, spiral scratches …
Saturday looks good
Andy …..
kick off your sandals
It’s scandalous …..
that I’m making this rhyme
Sometimes …..
The Lemonheads’ ‘sunshine’
They were just friends of mine …..
Andy, where is the crime?

Impossible
Wishing wells, and carousels
Won’t find my way back home
Warning signs, morning blinds
Heart as cold as stone
You told me,
how to live my life
How I tried,
I couldn’t say goodbye
It’s impossible
It’s impossible
Calling cards … colliding stars
Leave me in the cold
Do not signs … cross my mind
Stories left untold
You told me,
how to live my life
How I tried,
I couldn’t say goodbye
It’s impossible
It’s impossible
Something’s happening in my heart
Something everyone should see
My tee-shirt beats so hard it might rip apart
It should be everyone’s to feel
But that’s impossible
It’s impossible
It’s impossible
It’s impossible

The Bicycle Thieves
The bicycle thieves are coming into town
The bicycle thieves are coming …
and they want you around
They can’t hurt you … or desert you …
they just want your love
They won’t fool you … push or pull you …
they just want to steal your heart
And ride away … before you turn …
and realise
They’ve been alone so long
La la la … la la
The bicycle thieves are riding into view
The bicycle thieves are riding
They’re looking out for you
They can’t catch you … or distract you …
they just want your life
They won’t cheer you, nothing to fear as …
they just want to steal your bike
And ride away … before you turn …
and realise
They’ve been alone so long
La la la … la la
