The Kooks ~ If Only.*
So hold your head, and hold your tongue
But only say what you have to
And as a child yes i dreamed
Of holding her in the silver screen
She loved her man and loved him twice
I wish i'd been that passenger
Having fun, fly my kite
The devil inside won't control my life
Too much love, so little hate
The devil inside won't control my fate
Oh, if only, if only
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
He'd have someone to play with
Instead of bombing our neighbours
Yeah, yeah...
So here i go to see the world
With my eyes and with my soul
And too much love, so little hate
The devil inside won't control my fate
Oh, if only, if only
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
He'd have someone to play with
Instead of bombing our neighbours
Yeah, yeah...
Yeah!
So hold your head and run my time
The what of life no man can rhyme
So here we are and here we bleed
To be a victim there's no need
Having fun, i never fight
The devil inside controls my life
Too much love so little hate
The devil inside controls my fate
Oh, if only, if only
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
He'd have someone to play with
Instead of bombing our neighbours
The Kooks ~ Naive.*
I'm not saying its your fault
Although you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so

By such a smiling sweetheart.
Ohh i'm just a sweet and pretty face

True or false, it may be... well, she's still out to get me.

The Kooks ~ Seaside.*
Do you want to go to the seaside?
I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go
I fell in love at the seaside
I handled my charm with time and slight of hand
Do you want to go to the seaside?
I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go
I fell in love at the seaside
She handled her charm with time and slight of hand, and oh
But i'm just trying to love you

But i find it hard to love you girl
When you're far away
Away
Do you want to go to the seaside?
I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go
But i fell in love on the seaside
On the seaside

The Kooks ~ She Moves In Her Own Way.*
So at my show on monday
I was hoping someday
You'd be on your way to better things
It's not about your make-up
Or how you try to shape up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
So now you pour your heart out
You're telling me you're far out
You're not about to lie down for your cause
But you don't pull my strings
'cos i'm a better man
Moving on to better things
Well uh oh, oh i love her because she moves in her own way
Well uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day
And at the show on tuesday
She was in her mindset
Tempered furs and spangled boots
Looks are deceiving
Make me believe it
And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
Yeah
So wont you go far
Tell me you're a keeper
Not about to lie down for your cause
And you don't pull my strings
'cos i'm a better man
Moving on to better things
Well oh oh, oh i love her because she moves in her own way
Well oh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day
Yes i wish that we never made it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs
Yes i wish that we never made it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs
But uh oh, i love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show just to hear about my day
But uh oh, oh i love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day
The Kooks ~ Sofa Song.*
The city freeze before
I just realised i don't like you
Me and my girl
Are going out for some air
And i will do my best
Just to get under her dress
And catch you out if i can
On the other side of my sofa
Won't you come on over
At the side of my sofa
Oh won't you come on over
The city heated it up
It got blurry cause i'd had enough
And he tried to take your soul
But didn't realise you keep it in a different hole
Won't you come on over
At the side of my sofa
Oh won't you come on over
So here he comes, a man with
A loaded gun, i don't know if he
Wants my soul or my
Cash flow, i s'pose i don't know
So here he comes, a man with a
A loaded gun i don't know if he
Wants my girl's heart or her pearls
I s'pose i don't know
I s'pose i don't know
I s'pose i don't know
I s'pose i don't know
I s'pose i don't know
The Kooks ~ You Don't Love Me.*
Oh you don't love me the way that i love you
Cause if you did girl you would not do those things you do
You kill my heart just to see if i will rise
Above your anger and above your lies
And all i see of you
Is when you're not so busy
Oh you're not so busy
And you don't love me the way that i love you
Cause if you did girl you would not do the things you do
You turned my life around and for that i am glad, oh
However much i love you, this love is getting bad
And oh my darling you could chose
The words that only you could use
But you know you'll always be my girl, oh girl
I'd take you out just for a bite
And show you all the city sights
But you know you'll always be my girl, girl
But you don't love me the way that i love you, oh
Cause if you did boy you would not do those things you do
You kill my heart just to see if i will rise, oh
Above your anger and above your lies
But all i see of you
Is when you're not so busy
Oh you're not so busy, yeah
Yeah yeah
Do do do
If you don't love me you don't care
You don't love me you don't care
Cause you don't love me you don't care
You don't love me you don't care

The Kooks ~ Ooh La
In their eyes is a place that you finally discovered
That you love it here, you've got to stay
On the bottom of the rock, an island
On which you find you love it when you twitch
You feel that itch in you pettycoat
Your pretty pretty pettycoat
Then you smiled, he got wild
You didn't understand that there's money to be made
Beauty is a card that must get played
By organisation
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out
The world can be a very big place
So be yourself don't get out of place
Love your man and love him twice
Go to hollywood and pay the price
Oh go to hollywood
And don't be a star, it's such a drag
Take care of yourself, don't begin to lag
It's a hard life to live, so live it well
I'll be your friend and not in pretend
I know you girl
In all situations
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty
Pretty pretty pettycoat
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pettycoat
In all situations
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up and spat her out
