Альбом The Thrills

Well tell me
where it all went wrong
And tell me
where you lost those damn songs
I can't say I was surprised
I heard a drink was involved

Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
Still living by the sea
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be

Cos santa cruz
you're not that far
Oh santa cruz,
no, you're not that far

But now and then here once in a while
Those August cowboys stole your style
Dont you know he feels blind
Well your train's just rolled in on time

Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
Still living by the sea
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be

Cos santa cruz,
you're not that far
Oh santa cruz,
no, you're not that far

(END IT!)

So much for the city
Tell me that you'll dance to the end
Just tell me that you'll dance to the end

Hey, hey you're the monkees
People said you monkeyed around
But nobody's listening now

Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby baby please don't go

So much for the street lights
They're never gonna guide you home
No they're never gonna guide you home

Down at the steam boat show,
All the kids start spittin'
I guess it didn't live up to the billing.

Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby baby please don't go

So you've paid your dues,
(No intention to)
Those Elvis frauds, how they'll applaud,
Farewell my friends

So in your rock'n'roll
(In your rock'n'roll)
And pretty soon those pretty girls
Will find your home

We'll pay you handsomely (But you see)
Dont steal our sun
Dont steal our sun(You're just killin' fun)

I said you felt so good
(I said you felt so good)
Well I'm amazed
hey what a show

i heard you're dating Sue (yeah your welcome to)
I'd love to talk
but don't we know
That don't ring true

We'll pay you handsomely (But you see)
Dont steal our sun
Dont steal our sun(You're just killin' fun)

Well, what can you do
When all that surrounds you
Says slow down
Deckchairs and cigarettes

(Theyre sayin)
Lets go to San Diego
Hey thats where all the kids go

Just don't change a thing
Just don't change a thing
Just don't change a thing

Well the bottom fell out
On our summer
But we knew
What we got ourselves into

(Theyre sayin)
Lets go to San Diego
Hey thats where all the kids go

Just don't change a thing
Just don't change a thing
Just don't change a thing

Lets go to San Diego
Hey thats where all the kids go

You build me up so high,
My darling
You brought me down so low,
You know it

You build me up so high,
My darling
You brought me down so low,
You know it

Just don't change a thing
Just don't change a thing
Just don't change a thing

Yeah you're burning
Oh you're burning
My ears with your travelling tales

But my in laws;
oh baby my in laws
They're trying to tie a young man down

Well i never should have settled down
Hanging around in a one horse town
When everyone started sleeping around

But this feeling
That I'm feeling
Well you're preying on a tender heart

So this evening
Oh baby I'm leaving
On a one way ticket tonight

Well i never should have settled down
Hanging around in a one horse town
When everyone started sleeping around

I guess i never should have settled down
You see hanging around in a one horse town
Does nothing for your state of mind

Everybody's talking crazy
This town you're hanging up on me,
Baby blue.

Its such a shame when old friends fall out,
Its such a shame when old friends fall out,
Its such a shame when old friends fall out,
Over new lovers. (Well my oh my oh my)

Broken friendships surely beckon
Why she asked me?
All because of you,
Baby blue.

Its such a shame when old friends fall out,
Its such a shame when old friends fall out,
Its such a shame when old friends fall out,
Over new lovers. (Well my oh my oh my)

Its such a shame when old friends fall out,
Its such a shame when old friends fall out,
Its such a shame when old friends fall out,
Over new lovers. (Well my oh my oh my)

This old world won't take me home
I said sure for the hell she goes
Well I dont know man, well I don't know man
(I sure know I'm here)

Ooh, say it ain't so
Ooh, say it ain't so
Because I sure love you so

Memories dig in my heels
I don't care girl,
I'll be there girl
So does this mean your truly gone?
Well I don't know man, well I dont know man
(I sure know I'm here)

Ooh, say it ain't so
Ooh, say it ain't so
Because I sure love you so

Ooh, say it ain't so
Ooh, say it ain't so
Because I sure love you so

Well they're sure keen on dancin'
Those Hollywood kids, those Hollywood kids got it made.
When they act, big doors open.
Those Hollywood kids, those Hollywood kids got it made.
So let's party, Dustin Hoffman.
Those Hollywood kids, those Hollywood kids got it made.

Oh how the sun sets on my Boulevard
But leaves quite a shadow to fill

Oh how the sun sets on my Boulevard
But leaves such a shadow to fill

Oh the death of a fast life.
Those Hollywood stars, those Hollywood stars got to pay.
That's some will you've been drinkin.
Those Hollywood stars, those Hollywood stars got to pay.

Oh how the sun sets on my Boulevard
But leaves quite a shadow to fill

Oh how the sun sets on my Boulevard
But leaves such a shadow to fill

So look closer, do you still think that,
Those Hollywood kids, those Hollywood kids got it made

If this sounds phoney,
Don't say i didn't warn
This place suffocates,
And my hearts yearns me on

But the one girl you want,
is waiting right here

But the one girl you want,
is waiting right here

You spent your life inspiring envy,
But not yourself.
That's the last thing you told me,
I'm back to make amends.

So go on tell all your friends,
You're just travelling through.

But the one girl you want,
is waiting right here

Don't you know
You can't rewrite
Your own history
Cigarette Barbie

Your love is like a city I visited
Your love is like a city that burnt me good
Oh Las Vegas,
I could only afford one weekend

Don't you know
You're like Pete Best
Bitter after all these years
Just let it go

Your love is like a city I visited
Your love is like a city that burnt me good
Oh Las Vegas,
I could only afford one weekend

I was surfing this tidal wave,
of faded glories.
A San Diego pad,
and five, six years walked straight by me.

Well times have changed,
and time sure has changed you.
Don't you realise you've really changed?

We'll dance, we'll dance 'til the tide creeps in.
We'll dance, we'll dance 'til the tide creeps in.

We'll laugh, we'll laugh 'til the tide creeps in.
We'll laugh, we'll laugh 'til the tide creeps in.

My agent says writers block,
to keep publishers off my back
So who the hell are you to
come in here and spoil my party?

Well times have changed,
and time sure has changed you.
Don't you realise you've really changed?

We'll dance, we'll dance 'til the tide creeps in.
We'll dance, we'll dance 'til the tide creeps in.

We'll laugh, we'll laugh 'til the tide creeps in.
We'll laugh, we'll laugh 'til the tide creeps in

Lately
I'm gettin the impression
That my baby
Is moving down to LA

For the big lights
Flashing and reflecting
In her big eyes
Hey nothing here could make her stay

Everybody's got to have plans,
she said
Everybody's got to have plans,
Cos I can't see you smiling pumping gas

Some low life
B-movie producer
And his Big talk
Now dont you go buy into that

Cos sometimes
Things are gonna get tough
And you know what
You're gonna have to get tough too

Everybody's got to have plans,
she said
Everybody's got to have plans,
Cos I can't see you smiling pumping gas

Everybody's got to have plans,
she said
Everybody's got to have plans,
Cos I can't see you smiling pumping gas

So come home, baby, baby
Just don't phone, baby, baby
Yeah you went and did it
You broke my heart (Hold, hold, hold me now)

Everybody's got to have plans,
she said
Everybody's got to have plans,
Cos I can't see you smiling pumping gas
