Every Moment Has A Song

Mystery Jets: “Greatest Hits” (2012)

Breakups are always messy when there are records involved…

You can take ‘The Lexicon of Love’ away but I’m keeping Remain in Light’
You can take away ‘It’s a Shame About Ray’ but I’m holding on to ‘Country
Life’
You can keep ‘No Need to Argue’ and I’ll keep ‘The Aeroplane Over the Sea’
But hold on to ‘The Boy with the Arab Strap’ ’cause I’m holding on to ‘Village
Green’

I don’t know if the knot just needs untangling ’cause the tapes get stuck all the time
Either way I’m keeping ‘Double Nickels on the Dime’

These were our greatest hits (Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala)
The best of me and you(Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala)
These were our greatest hits (Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala)
The best of me and you

I still remember buying you ‘Band on the Run’ on the first day that we kissed
But you always did prefer ‘McCartney I’ because it reminded you of being a kid

No way your having ‘This Nation’s Saving Grace’ you only listen to it when your pissed
But when you sober up it’s always “why the fuck are you still listening to Mark E. Smith?”

I don’t know if the knot just needs untangling or if we forgot which way’s up and which way is down
But still the tape keeps going round and round

These were our greatest hits (Shalalalalalala lalalalala)
The best of me and you (Shalalalalalala Shalalalala)
The best of me and you
Of me and you

Still the tape keeps going round and round
The tape keeps going round
