The Undertones Tribute EP

 Teenage Kicks

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over because I'm all alone
I need excitement I need it bad
And it's the best, I've ever had
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over because I'm all alone
I need excitement I need it bad
And it's the best, I've ever had
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

Here Comes The Summer

What can I do you know you drive me crazy when I'm looking at you
The summer's really here and it's time to come out time to discover what fun is about
Here comes the summer here comes the summer

Keep on looking for the girls with their faces all tanned
They're lying on the beaches all covered in sand
Stretching out their long legs lying in the sun
They know they're beautiful they're having fun
Here comes the summer here comes the summer

Looking for the girls with their faces all tanned
They're lying on the beaches all covered in sand
Stretching out their long legs lying in the sun
They know they're beautiful they're having fun
Here comes the summer here comes the summer

My Perfect Cousin

Now I've got a cousin called Kevin he's sure to go to heaven
Always spotless clean and neat the smoothest you can get them
He's got a fur lined sheepskin jacket my ma said they cost a packet
She won't even let me explain that me and Kevin were just not the same
My perfect cousin what I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's pride and joy his mothers little golden boy

He's gotta degree in economics maths - physics and bionics
He thinks that I'm a cabbage because I hate university challenge
Even at the age of ten smart boy Kevin was a smart boy then
He always beat me at Subbuteo because he flicked the kick and I didn't know
My perfect cousin what I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's pride and joy his mothers little golden boy

His mother bought him a synthesizer got the Human League into advise her
Now he's making lots of noise playing along with the art school boys
Girls try to attract his attention but what a shame it's in vain total rejection
He will never be left on the shelf because Kevin he's in love with himself
My perfect cousin what I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's pride and joy his mothers little golden boy

Thrill Me

Do you remember I used to say all the sweetest things to make you stay
I kept believing that things would change that these delusions were nothing strange
I never thought you loved me I had to leave the world behind
Like the open sky above me you thrill me all the time

Unknown emotions would wear me down if tears were kisses I'm already drowned
But my expression could make you see the hesitation that would come over me
I never thought you loved me I had to leave the world behind
Like the open sky above me you thrill me all the time

I see everything you do and I've done everything you say
I can't get close to you but maybe someday maybe someway
I never thought you loved me I had to leave the world behind
Like the open sky above me you thrill me all the time

See That Girl

I wake up screaming in the middle of something wrong
I'm always waiting for a taxi just to take me back home
It really doesn't make much difference
Everything I say makes no sense
I'm happy just as long as I can see that girl

So boys will be boys when they haven't got nothing to do
You're flawed I'm bored naive we haven't a clue
It really doesn't make much difference
Everything I say makes no sense
I'm happy just as long as I can see that girl

I wake up screaming in the middle of something wrong
I'm always waiting for a taxi just to take me back home
It really doesn't make much difference
Everything I say makes no sense
I'm happy just as long as I can see that girl

The Way Girls Talk/Casbah Rock

I've never kissed a girl before too shy to go outside the door
Who cares what right I want to know what they're doing tonight
Can't listen to the way girls talk can't listen to the way girls talk

Have you seen the way she looks at him I don't believe the state they're in
We don't have time to make fun of what we can fight
Can't listen to the way girls talk can't listen to the way girls talk

The boys said shout the boys said shout
I hear she's going steady is she alright I see she's got some other date tonight
Who cares what wrong we always seem to hurt someone
Can't listen to the way girls talk can't listen to the way girls talk

Well it won't take long now before you know
If you're not thrown out then you'll want to go
Because you'll never get pop at the Casbah Rock
You'll never get pop at the Casbah Rock
You won't get pop at the Casbah Rock
