San Francisco Song lyrics - Camera Obscura

You know I cannot stand your love for alcohol 

You're such a tall man but you're looking kind of small 

I'll send you movie stills to rid you of your ills 

Because you're ill 

Now you're finding out I'm hard to please 

You'd better watch your mouth you'll bring a girl close to tears 

I ripped up my lyric book, gave myself the blackest look 

Black looks 

You would think by now I wouldn't miss this place 

It makes my poor legs weak and my sweet heart start to race 

To race, yeah to race

Amigo Mío lyrics- Camera Obscura

Permanece detrás

No tan cerca de mí

No sabes dónde he estado

No te sientes a mi lado

Permanece tan lejos de mí

Como yo quiero estar de ti

Este sitio es tan frío

No hables por mí

No quiero hablar

Es perder mi tiempo

No me hagas reír

No me hagas llorar

No me preguntes mi nombre

No me mires a los ojos

Amigo mío

Happy New Year lyrics - Camera Obscura

Did the ironing in a cowboy hat

Felt as fresh as the paint in this new flat

I will never tell you what to do

Have ambition simply to see things through

Did you know I could be a lot of fun

I'm aware that friendship can die young

As the glow from the street light bled

Down the Langlands Road we set off the best of friends

I know where I stand

I don't need you to hold my hand

Well, I've tried to get along with you

I have asked myself "€œWhat are we gonna do?"

I'm coming round to take a stand

Going to put us together with glue or an elastic band

I know where I stand

I don't need you to hold my hand

I am softer than my face would suggest

At times like these I'm at my lowest ebb

Now I can confide in you

If I cry to set the mood oh please could you cry too

Happy New Year

You are my only vice

Happy New Year

What if we compromised?

Happy New Year

I am open

Do you have to wear a frown like that?

You could have hit me with a baseball bat

Do you want to? (Yes I do)

Do you have to? (So do you)

Do you want to? (So do you)

Eighties Fan lyrics - Camera Obscura

You know it really won't surprise me

If you're a wreck by the age of fourteen

The way you look

The way you look is fine

So often color-coordinated

Your sister she's an eighties fan

That's all right

Have I told you so is mine

You say your life will be the death of you

Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew

And long for all of them to fall in love with you

But they never do

Drinking vodka on the fire

Your mother has a watchful eye

So look out kid

She's onto you this time

Run away to a bed and breakfast

Console yourself with the Reader's Digest

Ringing yellow pages on the moon

You say your life will be the death of you

Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew

And long for all of them to fall in love with you

But they never do

No they never do

I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself

I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else

I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself

I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else

About no one else

Houseboat lyrics - Camera Obscura

Took a trip on a houseboat

It was fun, you and me

I know you're really in love with him

Are you up to your knees?

Oh I'm always in decline

Always changing my lines

Always changing my mind

To be a friend is fine

I won't go sinking this houseboat

It's so hard to believe

He made you smile so easy

So make a smile for me

Will I always be denied

I thought about it last night

Could we baby, honey try

To put it right this time?

Oh how I've wanted to change

Let you take me home, let you rearrange

To find opportunity you should give yourself to me

You should give yourself to me

Oh how I've wanted to change

Let you take me home, let you rearrange

To find opportunity you should give yourself to me

You should give yourself to me

Pen And Notebook lyrics - Camera Obscura

You saved for a bass guitar

You knew you'd made a mistake when you first saw Marr

With your pen and notebook you've blown me away

It's the smallest words we cannot say

Your favourite colour is that of red wine

Which brings me around to your favourite pastime

With your pen and notebook you've blown me away

And I won't be blamed for not feeling the same

Are the stars out tonight

From the Southside oh the prettiest side

Will you stumble or fall tonight

Are you watching wrapped up cosy and tight

We're not the same

We're not the same 

We're not the same

Swimming Pool lyrics - Camera Obscura

My head's been lying dormant like a sleepy little mouse

What I have inside me it's enough to fill a house

Don't get maudlin on me cause I'm not fit for it

I'd make you another offer will it do the trick

All my days inactive will be justified

Awaken from a slumber to a rollercoaster ride

Don't get wise to everyone and everything

Leave a little room for some naiveté

To say that we will never part

And you will always have my heart

Is something that I can't deny

And you must never ever try

To go and lead a separate life

It's something I will never do, without you

To say that we will never part

And you will always have my heart

Is something that I can't deny

And you must never ever try

To go end lead a separate life

Is something I will never do, without you

Don't get wise to everyone and everything

Just leave a little room for some naiveté

Swimming in a pool of all clear

Swimming in a pool of all clear

Anti-Western lyrics - Camera Obscura

Sure to be a loner, I hear you're not the loving kind

Come on darling, I've something in mind

You're too good looking I'm always gonna put up a fight

Give in baby, be mine tonight

You talk about Lee but your words are untrue

Saying that Nancy's got nothing on you

You listen to rubbish I really despise

And tell me that sand is just grit in your eyes

Moved around honey, to stay here now would feel just fine

I'm taking your boots off, I'll keep them with mine

I'm coming around 'cause I know they say we only live twice

Well this is the first life, a need to entice

You talk about Lee but your words are untrue

Saying that Nancy's got nothing on you

You listen to rubbish I really despise

And tell me that sand is just grit in your eyes

I Don't Do Crowds lyrics - Camera Obscura

I'd like to have company during thunderstorms

I'd like you to fall for me but it would soon turn lousy and wrong

I meant what I said, all I want is to be one of the best

Been getting some extra help from a special band

Oh yeah they've been helping us out

And we're thankful they're lending a hand

Here is my request: play the ones that we all know best

I don't do crowds, everyone put it down to rudeness

I laughed out loud, could they all see that it was madness?

Please come to save me from myself again

To shield me to disguise that my heart has a secret

And this will make you sigh, and me cry

Oh will there be dancing in the hall tonight?

Cause if there is dancing I won't lack fight

It seems I'm less afraid of life itself than of what you see

You turned the heads of every boy and girl alike

Would you have them all if there were enough hours in the night?

You took care of your skin

Sure did help but it didn't solve everything

I don't do crowds, everyone put it down to rudeness

I laughed out loud, could they all see that it was sadness?

Please come to save me from myself again

To shield me to disguise that my heart has a secret

And this will make you sigh, and me cry

I find it funny that you never even knew

All the times when I stole a look from you

Oh what's in my mind

Oh they're gonna put me away this time

The Sun On His Back lyrics - Camera Obscura

He's got the sun on his back

Where there are freckles I would die for

Is he a family man?

If I had the chance I would show him all I am

I like the sound of his voice

I did me very best to impress him

Always my first choice

And I'm not ashamed to admit I've been uncool

I've looked a fool

Do you feel lucky tonight (go out it's alright)

Do you feel lucky tonight (go out it's alright)

And I will wear a badge to show my delight

Double Feature - Camera Obscura

Close comes the winter

Summer is no longer

And things, they seem much bleaker

We'll see a Catherine Deneuve double feature

And our lives will fade as in darkness we will bathe

And our lives will fade as in darkness we will bathe

(Double feature, you will survive

Last forever so rest your eyes

Play with words when we cannot sing

This bouble feature means everything)

Shine Like A New Pin lyrics - Camera Obscura

Girl with a thick skin made you shine like a new pin

Why smother urges, which belong under dresses?

Do you wish that you could only start again

Learn to live and be pedestrian?

If all your wishes in the world come true

You'd be as good as new

What can I say that will make them jump to my defence?

I value honesty, I could never pretend

Crest fallen boys are boring

I don't know which way I'm going anymore

I can't be sure

Girl with a thick skin made you shine

Let's Go Bowling lyrics - Camera Obscura

I don't believe in anything so you may as well forget about me

It's time you took it upon yourself to go join the other team

Forget about me

Anyway, I got myself some bowling shoes

An' they are all that I can see

With all my might I scored a strike

My friend you wouldn't believe

My teenage years were wasted all on me

On Saturday I watched a film

It was black and white with Clark Gable in

I've seen that film one hundred time or more

How am I going to tell my friends

I won't be coming out with them no more?

Don't you know that I feel sad?

You only know how to get mad

Lemon Juice And Paper Cuts lyrics - Camera Obscura

You're young with the time

To afford yourself a few fashion mistakes

You were way out of line

When you told that boy of your mission

Make or break a few hearts

He's the one who keeps busy

And he runs with all the bands

Little does he know

They think of him a lesser man

They see a lesser man

But if you see him

Tell him I'll meet him

On the edge of town

The edge of town

When the lights go down

I got my hair cut today

It would have really amused you

We're young and we can be cruel

Because we choose to

Lemon juice and paper cuts

Go like me and you

You had a bash at being my friend

(It didn't suit you)

But if you see him

Tell him I'll meet him

On the edge of town

The edge of town

When the lights go down

You're The Only Star In My Blue Heaven lyrics - Camera Obscura

You're the only star in my blue heaven

And you're shining just for me.

You're the only star in my blue heaven

And in dreams your face I see.

Well you're the guiding light

That brightens up the night

And I see your face in my dreams

You're the only star in my blue heaven

And you're shining just for me.
