Lyrics
I'm a new Edwyn Collins listener, I saw Edwyn on my vacation at the Shetlands last year. Today I've bought the CD Hellbrent on Compromise and last week Hope And Despair via ITunes. Does someone has the lyrics for me? Maybe an idee to put all the lyrics on this website??
Bye Ed

A GIRL LIKE YOU
I've never known a girl like you before
Now just like in a song from days of yore
Here you come a knockin knockin on my door
And I've never met a girl like you before
You give me just a taste so I want more
And my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw
Cos now you got me crawlin crawlin on the floor
And I've never known a girl like you before
You've made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to god I'm talkin metaphorically
Hope that im talking allegorically
Know that I'm talkin bout the way I feel
And I've never known a girl like you before
Never, never, never, never
Never met a girl like you before
This old town's changed so much
Don't feel like I belong
To many protest singers
Not enough protest songs
And now you've come along
Yes you've come along
It's all right, yeah it's all right, yeah it's all right

Keep on burning
Youve given me a head start,
Im brewing up a brainstorm
And we leave the grunges far behind
In the quagmire of the unkempt mind
Cos it got no style,no elequence,no elegance,no sensuality
All it takes is common sense
For anyone to see
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Youre throwing me a life line,
The way you looking so fine, sublime
From the youngsters whove just learned to shave
To the oldsters raving on the graves
Its the same old story,
Englands glory,
Claming back the Union Jack my arse
Got to prove it together now,
To counteract this class
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning
You wont get far in a cable car
You reach the top, then you had to stop
When you jump back down to the underground
Youve a train to catch
Youve plans to hatch
So lift the latch on the clubhouse door,
Theres a thousand souls out on the floor
Keep Turning
And you keep on learning
And you keep on yearning
And you keep on burning
As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning (to fade)

The magic piper (of love)
I'm through with love hangovers,
It's best that I stay sober.
No rolling in the clover,
No Gretna Green trip over.
No honeymoon in Paris,
I only feel embarrassed
For the cool cats,
The charmed kittens,
Both smitten by the love songs
That he's written.
Caught in the sights
Of a deadly sniper:
The magic piper of love.
The magic piper of love.
Of love, of love.
My girlfriend, she go blotto
Of cunnings and his grotto.
It turns out he's a dirty old man.
The nice place that I want to be,
Is sat up on this Christmas tree,
While playing these games of
Catch as catch can.
Cause he's a sweet talker,
A silent stalker.
All the savvy of a street walker.
More deadly than a horned viper:
The magic piper of love.
The magic piper of love.
Of love, of love.
He's a heart breaker,
A mover and a shaker:
The magic piper of love.
It's kind of hard to swallow,
You know you've gotta follow,
The magic piper of love.
Cause he's a city slicker,
An expert politic-er:
The magic piper of love.
Of love, of love.
Of love, of love.
Of love, of love.
