1. RUBY

[Verse 1:]
Let it never be said
The Romance is dead
'Cause there's so little else
Occupying my head

[Verse 2:]
There is nothing I need
except the function to breathe
But I'm not really fussed
Doesn't matter to me

[Chorus:]
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Know what you're doing, doing, to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

[Verse 3:]
Due to lack of interest
Tomorrow is canceled
Let the clocks be reset
And the pendulums held

[Verse 4:]
'Cause there's nothing at all
Except the space in-between
Finding out what you're called
And repeating your name

[Chorus]

[Middle 8:]
Could it be, could it be
That you're joking with me?
And you don't really see you and me [x2]

[Chorus:]
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Know what you're doing, doing, to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Know what you're doing, doing, to me


2. THE ANGRY MOB

I can prove anything
I'll make you admit again and again
I can prove anything
The way that it's read again and again

And its only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Its only cos you follow what the others do
Its no excuse to say your easily lead

You can choose anything
You choose to lose again and again
You could do anything
Why should you do anything again

And its only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Winding yourself up until your turning blue
Repeating everything that you've read

And here we go with the letter
Well can you fix it for me
Cos we need entertainment
To keep us all off the streets

So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

You can try anything
And no-one would know apart from you and me
You can stop anything
It's starts with just one and turns to two then three

Its only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Raise a glass or two
You raise a fist or two
Get a shopping basket wrapped round your head

So here we go with the letter
Oh can you fix it for me
24 hour drinking
To keep us all off the streets

So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed


3. HEAT DIES DOWN

I can just imagine you and me
Running out of steam
Going through the motions
I have no idea how you know
When I dip my toes
In other people's oceans

You have local knowledge
Of the local area
And that impressed me quite
So I tried that night
To do all the things I thought you'd like
But that just made it worse
And I impressed you not
Well not a lot

So we started from the start...

When the heat dies down
I'll be back in town
But until that time
I'll be round at mine
When the heat dies down
We'll be back in town
But until that time
I'll be round at mine

When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down...

I can not imagine growing old
To have and to hold
'Til death do part each other
'cause I doubt I could stomach 20 years
Spending time at hers
And talking to that mother.

I've got wider knowledge of the world
I just can't face another argument about the rent,
It all seems unimportant
In the grander scheme of things
But I was purpose built
To not feel guilt

So we ended at the end.

When the heat dies down,
I'll be back in town,
But until that time,
I'll be round at mine
When the heat dies down,
We'll be back in town,
But until that time,
I'll be round at mine

When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down...


4. HIGHROYDS

I remember nights out when we were young
They weren't very good they were rubbish
Running round Highroyds isn't fun
Just teenagers testing their courage

Hanging outside nightclubs in the snow
Not very cool or impressive
They let in all the girls from the year below
No need for ID's with those dresses

Got news from afar
From a girl who knows who we are
Still got my dinner money
She can keep it

Never had a fight that we haven't lost
Not very tough or athletic
Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock
When he gets out I'll regret it

Got keys to a car
Picked up a girl from Boston Spa
Fast food and cinema
It's not worth it

Got word from down south
He'd heard about us word of mouth
We haven't much stayed in touch
Since Highroyds

Let it go, let it go
Cos no ones gonna tell you but a friend
He's gone and he is gone and everybody went along
And nobody was left here in the end

Got news from Uncle Hew
Through a second cousin once removed
Too late there's a housing estate
It's called Highroyds

Got a text from an ex
She wants to know when we're in London next
Will you write a song about me
I don't think so


5. LOVE'S NOT A COMPETITION (BUT I'M WINNING)

I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore,
I know, I've said all this and that you've heard
It all before,
The trick is getting you to think that all this was your idea.
And that this was everything you've ever wanted out of here,
Love's not a competition but I'm winning.
I'm not sure what's truly altruistic anymore,
When every good thing that I do is listed and you're keeping score,
Love's not a competition but I'm winning
Love's not a competition but I'm winning
At least I thought I was but there's no way of knowing,
At least I thought I was but there's no way of knowing,
You know what it's like when you're new to the game but I'm not,
I won't be the one to disappoint you,
I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore


6. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Didn't expect any of this
But it was really nice
Didnt want you to cause a fuss
But it feels alive

So Thank you very much
Its really nice to know
That you enjoyed the show
And I want you to know when to go
Cos this should be a thrill
But it feels like a drill
Now you must let me go, let me go

I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do

I remember what it was like
And it was really nice
Never thought I would experience this
From the other side

So Thank you very much
It's really nice to know
That you enjoyed the show
And I want you to know when to go
Cos this should be a thrill
But it feels like a drill
Now you must let me go, let me go

I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do
I just imagine that of you
And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do


7. I CAN DO IT WITHOUT YOU

None of the buildings even look the same,
And underneath them all the shops have changed.
I don't pretend they're in a lot more pain,
Stocking much too young for the professionals to stay in.

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.

I'm in tunnel to the north again
Everybody has to talk on the train.
And if you've got nothing thats clever to say,
Nobody's listening to you anyway.

'Cos I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
But it wouldn't be very good.

La la la, la la la la la la la la la, etc.

What you want here?
It doesn't matter!
I don't think that it can be done without you.
What you doing?
It doesn't matter!
But everything that's done is all about you

We convince each other nothing has changed
Nobody else will ever write the same
The adaptation for the stage is now playing
For your protection all the names have been changed

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you.
But it wouldn't be very good.


8. MY KIND OF GUY

Well it starts as a joke
Like a stick in your spokes
Or removing the bolt of the brakes

Then the bicycle flips
Crushing ribs smashing hips
And he broke every bone in his face

Now you're out of control
And you can't fill the hole
That was left by the thrill of the chase
You're a right piece of work
All the flakes go berserk
Have you forgotten how good they taste

You're my kind of guy
Cos I like your style
And you sound as horrible as me
And I don't mind if you're unkind
Cos you're reminding me of me

As the bicycle race
Gathers speed, gathers pace
And you feel that you're going too fast
Theres a word to the wise
You should take some advice
As the nice guys always finish last

You're my kind of guy
Cos I like your style
And you sound as horrible as me
And I don't mind if you're unkind
Cos you're reminding me of me

You're my kind of guy
Cos I like your style
You sound as horrible as me
And heads will roll
As it takes its toll
On you and me


9. EVERYTHING IS AVERAGE NOWADAYS

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo
Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
Everyone would do it if they can
And everything is going down the pan
And everyone is following the craze
And everything is average

Now you say it's getting better
But I don't really see the signs
Said it is too different
You thought it would be suicide

Not much to believe in
Left up on a shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Ohhhh Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
And everything is of no consequence
Cos everyone is sitting on the fence
And everything will always stay the same
Cos everything is average

Now you said you didn't mean it
You threw away the book of rules
You thought that we should read it
I wouldn't even know how to

Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else

All I need is a ball and a wall
Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather
All I need is a ball and a wall
A sledge and a hill in heavy weather

Oh oh oh oh etc.

Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo
Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
Everyone would do it if they can
And everything is going down the pan
And everyone is following the craze
And everything is average nowadays


10. BOXING CHAMP

We went to the youth club and we looked out of place.
I didn't know where to look
So I, looked at your face.
But you were a boxing champ, and I was a weakling.
You didn't give me a chance,
You gave me a beating.
And I thank you very much that you did.

And as the time went by we stayed out of trouble,
Before I could realise my age had doubled.
The man I became is a tragic bore,
And he's not a boxing champ anymore.
If there's one thing i've learnt it's to run away,
At least I enjoy what I do today.
And I thank you very much that I do.


11. LEARNT MY LESSON WELL

I'm just waiting for
The man to come with all my things
And i'm just waiting for
Another man to take it all

And its not hard to tell
That I learnt my lesson well
And I'm just waiting for
The man to come and go away

What are you waiting for
Get up off your seat
Its just seven days
Feels like a week

What are you moaning for
You got all that you want
Your life could be worse
You could be a nurse

It seems so sensible
For us to keep the purse strings tight
And move the decimals
A couple of places to the right

And its not hard to tell
That I learnt my lesson well
It seems most sensible
But not exactly what we'd like

What are you waiting for
Get up off your seat
Its just seven days
Feels like a week

What are you moaning for
You got all that you want
Our life could be worse
You know, we all could be cursed

I Can't help feel like this
So don't rearrange it
I don't mean to be a dick
I just don't like the changes

I can not help the things I say
You know wouldn't to strangers
But I don't like going away
Cos it puts me in danger

I can tell you now
There ain't a problem can't be solved
With a good old fashioned row
So grit your teeth and stand your ground

And its not hard to tell
That I learnt my lesson well
But I'm still waiting for
The man to come with all my things

What are you waiting for
Get up off your seat
It's just seven days
Feels like a week

What are you moaning for
You got all that you want
Your life could be worse
You could leave in a hearse


12. TRY YOUR BEST

I can't do it any quicker
I don't want it any slicker
As far as the eye can see
Is miles and miles of icy sea.

So try your best
And think about it later
Or you will never know

I don't feel fear anymore
But I can't risk getting mauled
As far as the ear can hear
The wave is coming loud and clear

So try your best
And think about it later
Or you will never know
So try your best
And think about it later
Or you will never know
Which way your life could go
And you'll know when you know

So try your best
And think about it later
Or you will never know
Which way your life could go
And you'll know when you know


13. RETIREMENT

There are many things that I would be proud of
If I'd only invented them such as the wheel
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
On these inventions surely I could retire

I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye
With a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high
And tell nobody why

There are many things that I know I could do
If I'd only have wanted to, such as create
The perfect soulmate everyone would admire
On this creation surely I could retire

I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye
With a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high
And not to answer to why

I want to retire
Inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style
And not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky
I Got my fingers in pies
A Golden watch on my side
Will measure my free time

Now my place in History is surely assured
I will be remembered here forever more
Brand new product in place and a potential buyer
Up on this next transaction surely I could retire

I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye
With a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high
And not to answer to why

I want to retire
Inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style
And not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky
I Got my fingers in pies
A Golden watch on my side
Will measure my free time


14. ADMIRE YOU

You said that stranger things have happened
I don't know why you're laughing
I wish I'd never asked

There must be something in the water
Thats making 'em a bit stronger
Its building up to life

Do you admire me like I admire you?
Do you admire me like I admire you?

Lying low it might be 'cos you're easy
Or just because you're near to me
Or maybe cos you're new

There must be a combination of everything
'Cos I haven't seen a lot of things
As interesting as you

Do you admire me like I admire you?
Do you admire me like I admre you?

And I thought you were a nervous wreck
And it turned out that you were
I heard you were a bag of nerves
And it turned out that you were
Turned out that you were
Turned out that you were

I thought that when you said you need me
You meant that you needed me
You just need me in the head

Do you admire me like I admire you?
Do you admire me like I admire you?

And I thought you were a nervous wreck
And it turned out that you were
I heard you were a bag of nerves
And it turned out that you were
Turned out that you were
Turned out that you were


Do you admire me like I admire you?
Do you admire me like I admire you?

And I thought you were a nervous wreck
And it turned out that you were

I heard you were a bag of nerves
And it turned out that you were
Turned out that you were
Turned out that you were


15. FROM THE NECK DOWN

You're beautiful
In every way
From the neck down
From the neck down

The kind of face
That could sink ships
Not in a good
But in a bad way

You love her but you don't wanna show her to your friends
You love her but you don't wanna show her to your friends
You love her but you don't wanna show her to your friends

I've got a fast car
We keep the top up
Lets keep the top up

You love her but you don't wanna show her to your friends
You love her but you don't wanna show her to your friends
