I Can't Stay Mad At You lyrics - Camera Obscura

(originally by Skeeter Davis)

You can make me cry
You can break my heart
But I'll never say we're through
Even when I cry
I can't stay mad at you

You can run around
You can tell me lies
But there's nothing I can do
I'll never say goodbye
'Cause I can't stay mad at you

I got mad at you last night
'Cause you were holding another girl tight
But when I thought of all your charms
I bounced right back into your arms

One thing you'll know for sure
I won't be the one
To fall in love with someone new
I'll love you till I die
I can't stay mad at you

I bounced right back into your arms

One thing you'll know for sure
I won't be the one
To fall in love with someone new
I'll love you till I die
And I can't stay mad at you

You got me where you want me
You got me where you want me
You got me where you want me
You got me where you want me

Modern Girl lyrics - Camera Obscura

(originally by Sheena Easton)

He wakes and says "Hello," turns on the breakfast show
She fixes coffee while he takes a shower
"Hey, that was great," he said, "Wish we could stay in bed
But I got to be at work in less than an hour"
She manages a smile as he walks out the door
She's a modern girl who's been though this movie before

She don't build her world 'round no single man
But she's gettin' by doin' what she can
She is free to be what she wants to be
And all what she wants to be is a modern girl

It looks like rain again, she takes a train again
She's on her way again through London town
Where she peels a tangerine, flicks through a magazine
Until it's time to leave her dreams on the underground
She walks to the office like everyone else
An independent lady, takin' care of herself

She don't build her world 'round no single man
But she's gettin' by doin' what she can
She is free to be what she wants to be
And all what she wants to be is a modern girl

Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
She's a modern girl
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
She's a modern girl

She's been dreaming 'bout it all day long
As soon as she's home, it's him on the telephone
He asks her to dinner, she says, "I'm not free
Tonight I'm gonna stay at home and watch my TV"

I don't build my world 'round no single man
I am gettin' by doin' what I can
I am free to be what I want to be
And all what I want to be is a modern girl

Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
She's a modern girl
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
She's a modern girl

Phil And Don lyrics - Camera Obscura

Phil and Don
What went wrong?
I see no reason to go on
Phil and Don
What went wrong?
I see no reason to go on

I'll take the slack from you
Give all my love to you
Might break my back for you
It's not enough, I know

Phil and Don
The saddest song
It breaks my heart to sing along

I'll take the slack from you
Give all my love to you
I'd break my back for you
It's not enough, I know

Phil and Don
I'll say, "So long"
So very nearly made me strong
You very nearly made me

Return To Send Her lyrics - Camera Obscura

"Don't disturb my bed," is what I should have said
But when you kissed me, my head started to sway
I took your picture, you bought me some literature
Honey, you make my day

I don't want to take advantage
Or do you any damage
But I'm not sure I can manage
To stay away

Oh, we have been tender, don't return to send her
The love that was coming your way
I should be brave, I should behave
Stay away for more than a day

I don't want to take advantage
Or do you any damage
But I'm not sure I can manage
To stay away

Don't be disheartened by this thing we started
I guess that's what I'm trying to say
I will defend you, my friend
I won't quietly walk away

I don't want to take advantage
Or do you any damage
But I'm not sure I can manage
To stay away

Roman Holiday lyrics - Camera Obscura

I've never had a Roman holiday
But I won't hold it against you
The look on your face when she told you she loved you
Was it priceless?

And now it seems you're well connected
You have your own flock of sheep
But I don't think they are lost
And I don't think they're discreet

I light a scented candle in my room
And I'll hold a good thought for you
You're hopeful, you said things would be okay
But they're doom and gloom

If I was good at hating, I'd hate you
If I was good at loving, I'd fall
I'd keep the company of a kid obsessed
And I'd tell them all

I knew you well for a short spell
I knew you well, who could tell?
Please don't tell

I've never had a Roman holiday
But I won't hold it against you
The look on your face when she told you she loved you
Was it priceless?

I knew you well for a short spell
I knew you well for a short spell
I knew you well for a short spell
I knew you well, who would tell?

The Blizzard lyrics - Camera Obscura

There's a blizzard comin' on
How I'm wishing I was home
For my pony's lame
And he can't hardly stand
Listen to that northern sigh
If we don't get home, we'll die

But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
It's only seven miles to Mary Anne

You can bet we're on her mind
For it's nearly Christmastime
And I'll bet there's
Hot biscuits in the pan
Lord, my hands feel like they're froze
And there's a numbness in my toes

But it's only five more miles to Mary Anne
It's only five more miles to Mary Anne

That wind's howlin' and it seems
Mighty like a woman's screams
So we'd best be movin' faster if we can
Dan, just think about the barn
With the hay so soft and warm

It's only three more miles to Mary Anne
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne

Dan, get up, you ornery cuss
Or you'll be the death of us
I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
Alright, Dan, perhaps it's best
That we stop awhile and rest

For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne
It's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne

Late that night the storm was gone
And they found him there at dawn
He had made it, but he couldn't leave ol' Dan
Yes, they found him there on the plains
His hands froze to the reins

He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne

The Nights Are Cold lyrics - Camera Obscura

(originally by Richard Hawley)

The fate of man is random so don't look down
The towns and the cities are all burning down
Your road is bitter like the whip off the wind
You want to get to the end but you don't know how to begin

You want to know how we got to where we are now
The nights are cold
The nights are cold
The nights are cold

Let my life and all its storms begin to blow
Take me here and there I don't care where I go
Ah, beauty is a dark cloud when you're alone
She says she has the answers but I really just don't know

You want to know how we got to where we are now
The nights are cold
The nights are cold
The nights are cold
The nights are cold

Ah, the only road I walk alone
Where beauty nails me to her cross

The World Is Full Of Strangers lyrics - Camera Obscura

Suddenly the world is full of strangers
I can sense a fog in my midst

I've been listening to lonely girls
Sometimes against my will
Don't ask me to love you when you know that I will

Send me someone with the night sky on their mind
Someone to share dreams and secrets

I've been listening to lonely girls
Sometimes against my will
Don't tempt to love you when you know that I will

I'll try to find somebody that's my kind
I'll try to find somebody that's my kind
Oh I'll try to find somebody that's my kind
Don't tempt me to love you when you know that I will

Oh we could see the world's edges together
How about some sun and a beach motel?

Been listening to lonely girls
Sometimes against our will
They want us to love them because they know that we will

Your Sound lyrics - Camera Obscura

Your familiar sound is waiting to be found here soon
We forcing flaw and trying hard to close this door
Another chance of this for some other winter instead we apply
The tiny pieces have fallen in between us I look for reasons why
It is important to remember what to do this year
And it doesn't help to say that you have felt this near

It's not so easy to know your face is trailing far behind
I can't help but wonder if we plummet further I'll never find the time

Could it be we're tired, fading
Would it help if I start walking away
Don't tell me to change
Don't tell me

Your familiar sound is waiting to be found here soon
Waiting for some flaws I'm trying to not close this door
Maybe we're tired, fading
Would it help if I start walking away
Don't tell me to change
Don't tell me to change
Don't tell me to change
Don't tell me
