HOW ACE ARE BUILDINGS? - LYRICS
1) Turn It Up
Turn it up, don't know where you're plugging in
Listen up, yeah we're all set to begin
Turn it up, 'cause we hope you like it lots
Would you really love, any second glance?
Make and like, cheeky monkey grins
And for tonight, I'd love you let you in
2) Foghorn
Sick of you, how old do you think you are?
You never move, you think everythings too far
Telling you you're a fool, but you don't wanna
know
Thinking through and let me tell you, you're not even close...you tell ya
I can't stand your indie? ways, so listen when I'm talking
It’s better than I write, remember every night
Say to me you might, be the one
What kept you, I’m not bothered anymore
Can’t place it, get me heading for the door
Foot down, you know I like to look outside
You found it, you found something that you like...you tell ya
I can't stand your indie? ways, so listen when I'm talking
Tell me when I shave?, them we can go ???
Makes you think I work round your ohhhhohhhhhhhh
Don’t look back, don’t look back, don’t feel bad
Don’t feel bad, don’t look back, don’t feel bad
Shame on you, you hate everything thats new
Look down your nose at everything I do
You catch on years later, you're not even slow
Can’t stay have a good time, now I’ve gotta go
I can't stand your indie? ways, so listen when I'm talking
It’s better than I write, remember every night
Say to me I might, when I’m talking
Go look in a book, tell me when I should
Makes you think I would when I'm talking
It’s better than I write, remember every night
Say to me I might when I won’t!
3) Cheeky Monkey
My name is Jason, I'll rock your face in, 'cause
I've got relations in my band
We like Van Halen and Iron Maiden, I’ll do the talking understand?
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!
Yeah, you know I right, do you want a fight?
Stay up all night, if you’ve got the time
And any time I want to wear the place?
I’ll need to I'll be there, yeah I’ll be all right?
So get out of the kitchen, check out the pigeon
They make a messy??, above my way??
Jump on a rock bus, no one can stop us
We’re going bonkers today
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!
Yeah, you know I right, do you want a fight?
Stay up all night, cos we've got the time
And any time I want to wear the place?
I’ll need to be there, yeah I’ll be all right?
We're cheeky monkeys, just like the Bee Gees
We put our words down so they rhyme
We rock in the summer, sleep in the winter
Park where we want to and pay the fine
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!
Yeah, you know I right, do you want a fight?
Stay up all night, if you’ve got the time
And any time I want to wear the place?
I’ll need to be there, yeah I’ll be all right?
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!
Cheeky!
4) No.1
I‘ve got to get up ma, and get in my place
I’ve got to work out ma, and sort out my face
I’m ???????? to me what to eat
And I’m tired of being told what to wear on my feet
And I don’t have the time to get all worked up above you and the street?
And it’s not my fault, I can find my way, yeah it’s not my fault
There goes another day, I’ve been here too long
Do I have to change in to what it takes, yeah make it No.1
I Feel
out of flavour, I don't look like a picture
You think I'm a loser, but I can see through you
You're running around like you're running the country
I know that you think that you've got one on me
Ear to the ground like a boy about town
Can't get nothing to fit me!
And it’s not my fault, I can find my way, yeah it’s not my fault
There goes another day, I’ve been here too long
Do I have to change in to what it takes, yeah make it No.1
Got a call from an old friend who used to be real close
Said he couldnt go on the American way
Sold his house, sold his car and bought a ticket to west coast
Now he gives them a stand up routine in LA
yeah but it’s not my fault, I can find my way, yeah it’s not my fault
Got to look out for our friend who used to be real close
Said it couldn’t go on the American way
There goes another day, I’ve been here too long
Sold his house, sold his car and bought a ticket to west coast
Now he gives them a stand up routine in LA
Do I have to change in to what it takes, yeah make it No.1
5) Bad Idea

6) Sing-a-long
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
I think I’m trouble, there’s always a couple
Around me wherever I go
They’re out there to bug me
I don’t think it’s funny
Everybody’s laughing at me yeah
I wanna go on out, but there’s no one about
All my friends want a quiet one at home
They’re that same age as me
And their husbands to be yeah
Everybody in the building
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
I make them of here, and I make them of there
I’ve got millions of things on the go
I’ll write me the best lines, they’re too corny sometimes
Everybody’s laughing at me
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
And now when I find her, there’s rings on her finger
I’ll try every trick in the book
And I’ve got some more pride, I’ve got time on my side
Everybody’s gone without me yeah
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
7) Winter of '96
First jumped out of the aeroplane
I’d felt like I’d been here before
Took a ????? me down
Put a smile on my face
Felt like I could do more
How ace are buildings!
How big are the blocks
Reminds me of London, stuck in a gridlock
Six foot deep, bleaker street?, no one lives out
People smile, never got the time
I look down I could not see the ground
A man who reads the news says there’s no crime
There’s no one around
There wasn’t a sound
Fell in love with, don't want to leave it
Don't ever what to go back
Skateboards are cheaper, everything’s bigger
Everything stops for the winter of '96
8) Out of Tune
You're always fighting everyone
You were old when you were young
You love to think you're on the run
I had to laugh at all your jokes
Had to tremble 'cause you smoked
But you never ever get my vote
You're the ones who ???, or so they say
I remember you back in the day
Did my best to keep out of the way
You kicked it up in school
Singing out of tune
While you're fighting everyone
I've been hanging in the sun
There's a million things I've done
You're the one who took the lead
Me least likely to suceed
Different now don't you agree
You're the ones who ???, or so they say
I remember you back in the day
Did my best to keep out of the way
You kicked it up in school
Singing out of tune
Thought you ruled the world
Singing out of tune
Everybody, keep out of his way
Everybody, keep out of his way
Everybody, keep out of his way
Everybody, keep out of his way
You're the ones who ???, or so they say
I remember you back in the day
Did my best to keep out of the way
You kicked it up in school
Singing out of tune
Everybody knew
Singing out of tune
Singing out of tune (a lot!)
9) Fistral
I like the summer like you like your wife
Live in the "master" for the rest of my life
Every year since I was young
And always here and always fun
Distant places, staying faces
All I want, I understand is it's the summer
Over and over it's summer again
Fills up the sad hole in my head again
Several ??? and passing ???
To lift their head down to the sand
Distant places, staying faces
All I want, I understand is it's the summer
And it's with it's flowers, and big huge skies
It gets high for hours, and then it dies
Ocean keeps me up all night
Sunshine makes my hair turn white
You know I hate the winter time
All because there's nothing quite like the summer
And it's with it's flowers, and breeses off
shore
It gets high for hours, and then back for more
And it's with it's showers, and big big skies
It gets high for hours, and then it dies
10) House Under The Ground
And
I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
We wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here
I find it funny, I laugh at people
And don't know why
I sometimes giggle, if there's an earthquake
Where good people die
And I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
We wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here
I'll make the ??? man, I'll do what I can
I'll suffer for my sins
Speak with a deep voice, listen to metal
So that the good guys never win
And I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
We wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here
Yeah you should see the ???
When you sit in on Christmas day
But at six o' clock, on the sixth of June is OK
Get my ??? and the sun, ??? the things I've done
Pay to have this done?
And I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
I wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here
House under the ground
House under the ground
House under the ground
And I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
I wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here
11) Five In The Morning
Yeah yeah yeah I've seen it all
Yeah yeah yeah I've heard it all
J.P wants to rock, but at five o'clock hes not
There's a medal in the kitchen for catching early worms
Yeah yeah yeah you're gonna bet, yeah yeah you're gonna learn
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Stevie knows that it ain't dead
Yeah Farmer
uncle still in bed
M.A.C. was born to rock, there's not a moment that he's not
"A" communication, illin' in my sleep
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I lost count of my sheep
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the
morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Never, never looking back, never falling off the track
Never clocking late for work, 'cause rocking pays the bills
So I don't need no education
I don't need any sleep
yeah yeah yeah yeah I never need to set my series "3"
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
