Bob Dylan - Mr. Bojangles Lyrics
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you in worn out shoes
Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants, that old soft shoe
He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high, will he likely touch down?
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, danc...
The Courteeners - Bojangles Lyrics
The Shambles are a shambles, crooks and crafters hanging from the rafters,
With the beat and the bangles oh, Bojangles shirts and shouts them from all the angles.
Masses on mass go past,
head down walk fast,
this is where we live to

The Courteeners - Kimberley Lyrics
Who is that girl? I think it's kokaine kim
I've not seen her face in ages
Tell me where she's been
Oh kokaine kimberly is dancing by the door
Have you seen her slightly slender self
Sleeping on the floor?
Oh kokaine ...
The Courteeners - Aftershow Lyrics
The walk home from barbecue
Is so very long when I'm walkin with you
The sun is coming up, it is coming to light
That me and you were never that tight
And then you stand there with your old boyfriend
And message after message...
The Courteeners - An Ex Is An Ex For A Reason Lyrics
If I'm talking to you at the back of the club
Why does he walk past me?
And why does he rub his shoulder past mine
Is it to let me know that he's here
Whisper in his ear, from me I don't care
I can't believe that...
The Courteeners - Cameo Brooch Lyrics
With your mother's cameo brooch
Sat at the foot of her bed taking notes
You watched her since you were small
You are the new belle of the ball
With your father's bruise on your arm
Telling me it's no cause for alarm...
The Courteeners - Push Yourself Lyrics
You think that you're so clever
And you think you know it all
You're risk-free, the king of stability
But the doctors predict a fall
You're content, intent, even
Of spending your days with a screen
This is the most p...
The Courteeners - White Horses Lyrics
Cold crystal sunrise
Amber on a traffic light
Bold brittle blue eyes
There's a riot that you're trying to incite
[Chorus:]
The ocean's hard
Against your skin
Temptation of two forces
You think you should
I wish yo...
The Courteeners - Last Of The Ladies Lyrics
You are the last of the ladies
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are
Sometimes I may not see you for a week
D...
The Courteeners - Black & Blue Lyrics
You were different yesterday
Further away
Further than you'd ever say
What've you seen?
What've you heard?
Was it something that I said?
Have you had another stranger in your bed?
[Chorus:]
Say it isn't so
An...
The Courteeners - Small Bones Lyrics
She left her coat down in the club
To see if I would offer mind
Rather wrap my arm around her
Feel the small bones in her spine
She moved to London yesterday
Told me I had missed my chance
Didn't seem to seem that way
When sh...
The Courteeners - Here Come The Young Men Lyrics
I'm in work in an hour and a half
And the gin is still fresh on the end of my scarf
How long can we keep up with this?
And if we didn't is there anything that we would miss?
The sun comes up over Raven South
You're a ...
The Courteeners - How Come Lyrics
How come you are always off your head?
And yet you still end up in your bed
With some mint blonde I've never seen before?
And you get away with kicking her face first out of your front door
You get admiration from all of the l...
The Courteeners - Money Lyrics
I noticed you in the photograph
A ghost like you why don't you laugh?
Five years on and your baby's got the gun
Picking off the memories one by one
Bang bang bang goes the lover's ideal
Bang bang bang
She said
Si...
The Courteeners - Take Over The World Lyrics
I looked into her eyes and I swore
I've never written a cliche before
And I'll probably never do so
She was beautiful though
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and yo...
The Courteeners - Yesterday, Today & Probably Tomorrow Lyrics
I'm not going to sit here and lie and list all the many ways
About how I will supposedly love you till the end of days
Because I think that we both know in twenty-eight and a half years' time
That I won't be yours and you ...
The Courteeners - Kings Of The New Road Lyrics
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do
I left home, and then phoned, to see if you like to dance
A memory, you and me, nobody else ever has to see
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do
I loved you, I still do...
The Courteeners - When You Want Something You Can't Have Lyrics
So I hear your rebuilding your life
Down in Mexico way
To act out your favourite play
With your cat and piano
I always new you could play
I knew you better than your friends
Would suggest
The one who's laid claim to being your ...
The Courteeners - Please Don't Lyrics
Four years and twenty-two shades of blonde
Is all that seperated us
Why couldn't we have carried on?
We could have got married
You could have carried some of my sons
You let me change the radio
Station in your car
Do you re...
The Courteeners - Are You In Love With A Notion Lyrics
Run away from this God forsaken place
And hide away from everybody's prying face
You told Deborah that he is the one
You're going to quit Debenhams
Elope and get married in the sun
Have you really thought this through?

The Courteeners - Welcome To The Rave Lyrics
It's always darkest before dawn
They ripped the bloody roof off
Yeah you could say the place was torn
But the city's view is slanted
Do we take our dreams for granted
Are The walls falling all around us
Oh can we be saved

The Courteeners - Scratch Your Name Upon My Lips Lyrics
Six thousand miles away, the first thing on my mind
I've not been to bed, my thoughts are racing
My heart is lagging behind
Desperate times call for double measures
The drinks ae going down alleviating the pressure
Just to see ...
The Courteeners - Van Der Graaff Lyrics
Live a little bit
Have a little laugh
Roll up your sleeves and
Stick 'em on the Van Der Graaff
And watch it float away
She said "never do this, never do that,
Watch where you're swinging that rounders bat"
What...
The Courteeners - Meanwhile Back At The Ranch Lyrics
So, meanwhile back at the ranch
My boy, you grovel for an olive branch
Your arms outstretched, fabrication spoken
You severed all ties and the bond was broken
You are the gaffer's best boy
20 sleazy and coy
And it makes me sic...
The Courteeners - Cavorting Lyrics
Your club is full of overrated, dehydrated, goggled eyed girls
And they're trying to stare at me
But their eyes are rattling and they're struggling to see
And she can't stand still because of sixteen pills that

The Courteeners - You're The Man Lyrics
Does your wife
Know you're out
Know you're out
Sleeping with a weather-girl
That it never rains on you
Triple A
Backstage pass
Anorexic lass
On your arm
You're so cool you're the man
But we still love you

The Courteeners - Marquee Lyrics
Stay up late and think
Of where you might be
I can't sleep I've got the image of you and him in the marquee
He made you smile when did I stop doing that?
Was it happening for a while?
You should've of just said
Instea...
The Courteeners - Not Nineteen Forever Lyrics
She's had to peel me off the pavement
Trying to insinuate sometimes I'm in danger of going too far
Said would I like to go for tea and toast?
Get your hand off my thigh
In the car she turned to me and said
You're not ...
The Courteeners - Lullaby Lyrics
You walked over still hungover from the night before
Those idiot girls were looking over

That vintage Chanel dress that you wore
Just accentuated the fact that your heart was sore
Like a dying rose in the ...
The Courteeners - The Opener Lyrics
I've been away I've been working but now I'm back I need to know if you're still there
And I need to know if you still care

You were made for me
And I was made for you

The Courteeners - Revolver Lyrics
Will I be graced with your presence tonight?
I'd really rather you just let me know
'Cause I'm stood here like a spare prick at a wedding
I'll get my dignity, smedley, my brogues and I'll go
You could have ju...
The Courteeners - Next Time You Call Lyrics
Back down
Wind your neck in
Feel the paranoia set in
All in all
A normal day for you
A life of people saying "Yes"
Has left you in a right mess
All in all
A normal day for you
You know the feelings
That I have for y...

The Courteeners - Cross My Heart & Hope To Fly Lyrics
How can I create a work of art?

And fuck right off into the m...
The Courteeners - Good Times Are Calling Lyrics
Well I'm in Manchester,
And you're in London town.

Come see you,
For you know that I'm falling.
I'm still young...
The Courteeners - Saboteur Lyrics
She'll make you wait
While she works the room
Like a lightening ice skate
Like a sonic boom
She'll bite your tongue
And she'll pull your lips
You see as evenings go
This was not the script
She was a saboteur
