Her life's a gas, she loves the trash



Many happy returns to the lovely Sarah Cracknell of St Etienne, 45 years young today...

And to celebrate, here's something old and something new (their current single - the first in seven years! - which seems to have slipped off my radar) from the moody lovelies:



He's on the phone, and she wants to go home;

shoes in hand, don't make a sound, it's time to go
(Ooh-ooh)
Someday (someday), someday

He's on the phone, doesn't want to go home
The hotel life - forget your wife, you're on your own
Academia girl;
Her life's a gas, she loves the trash inside his world
Can't find his way there,
got the cash, feeling flash in Leicester Square

(Ooh-ooh)

Yes
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday)
Yes
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday

It's five to twelve and she's nervous as hell,
with nothing to lose, it's hard to choose it's hard to tell

(Ooh-ooh)

Yes
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday)
Yes (Ooh-ooh)
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday)

  1. I had no idea they had a new single out, thanks!

    The fabulous "Pale Movie" and "Sylive" (remix edit) were my favourite songs from them, along with "He's On The Phone". Good to have them back!
