She controls the cameras
She's got list of orders
And as I walk the corridor down to the pool I burn my feet on the hot floor
She says we'll be here now for one week more
And then the rushes just in
And it fits her vision
It's how she's always seen things, they never believed, how she'd teach them
First DIY then a team then a whole operation
"How many people do I have to prove wrong today?" she says
"How many times do I have to justify my operation?
I'm making money surely all these men can taste it
All I get is this is your big chance don't waste it
I'll put you in your place"
She takes it to nowhere
It's just smoke in the air
Helicopter flying over going to pick up another shot
She never stops
The light goes green
She watches it all on a little black screen
The kiss is framed beautifully
A little bit cheesy
But thats exactly how it felt to me
And then we're on to the next scene
Which is something different completely
"How many people do I have to prove wrong today?" she says
"How many times do I have to justify my operation?
I'm making money surely all these men can taste it
All I get is this is your big chance don't waste it
I'll put you in your place"
She takes it to nowhere
It's just smoke in the air
Helicopter flying over going to pick up another shot
She never stops
The light goes green
She watches it all on a little black screen
All you do it sit
Ever patient
You're never done with it
You always say we'll make it
But if we don't then I don't know
How we'd ever break it
D.I.R.E.C.T.O.R

What Men Want

One of my ears hurts & I don't know why
Memory goes blank around half past five
I woke up naked, like I always do
It would have been pretty bleak if it wasn’t for you
I feel very at home in here
See myself there in your full length mirror:
I am a man and I understand what men want
(What men want)
you’ve got a plan I’ll give you a helping hand
(if it’s what men want)
We move in a very male world
But I have learned what to do to get heard
What I do used to give me the creeps
Now I get paid by the hour even when I’m asleep
Been in some pretty big offices
Got to know some of the very top bosses
Got to know some pretty big lessons
The hard way
I am a man and I understand what men want
(What men want)
Whatever it is that drives them I can provide them
(With what men want)
I’m a man and I understand what men want
(What men want)
Cos I have lived and I know how to give
What men want…

A Peroni
Guacamole
Say cheers
Outside this place
There ain’t no place
Like this
What about this
We talk
But not before we kiss
Would you like to come over
Fuck my phone
Up with me?
We got hundreds of people in there
See what happens if we turn off the air
Would you like to come over
Fuck my phone
Up with me?
Stare down at the broken screen
Always smash what’s closest to me
It’s the big scene
We all hate each
Other in
The bassist went in
To the ladies
And out again
That’s when I knew
It's not what
You say its who you say it to
Would you like to come over
Fuck my phone
Up with me?
We got hundreds of people in there
See what happens if we turn off the air
Would you like to come over
Fuck my phone
Up with me?
Went to the after show party
But u didn't show
And then they threw me in the car
And away then they drove
Roll up the window
Pit was in slow mo
Gap in the front row
Cracks in your eyeballs
Oh
It’s the big scene
We all hate each
Other in
It’s the big scene
We all hate each
Other in

Sentimental Sunset

Asteroid
Dinosaur time
Cuddly dinosaurs with cartoon eyes
Look up kids the glowing ball of love is here
Big whale
Coming up the river
And the buildings of Kent are moving ever closer
And the people stand around and they don’t know what to do,
But I know baby this is my chance to say to you:
Oh what a
Sentimental Sunset
Look up now kids
See it land softly now
On the top of Big Ben with a ding
And the MPs leave in single file as the big bell rings
And the hidden speakers in Big Ben's liftshaft sing:
Oh what a
Sentimental Sunset
And you take my hand
Throw this guy a dollar
Throw him a dime
It’s sentimental sunset time
And you let go of my hand
And turn your face to mine
And the sunset gets you from behind
We serve the wrinkled face
And we love the wrinkled face
Then the wrinkled face lies down
And we don’t serve that wrinkled face now, and we sing
Ahhhh....
Sentimental when I'm in your arms and
Sentimental with all your charms and
Sentimental when we're on the phone and
Sentimental when we're all alone
Sentimental when im in your room and
Sentimental in the afternoon and
Sentimental on the news at ten and
Sentimental on the ITN
Sentimental when im in your arms and
Sentimental with all your charms and
Sentimental when we're on the phone and
Sentimental when we're all alone
