01Pretty Little Alibi2:49
[Verse 1] You were helping out your cousin You were minding someone's shop You were halfway down to Brighton When the motor had to stop But your cousin's in the kitchen And the shop was closed at five And the fellow with the motor Says he's glad you're both alive [Chorus] Pretty little alibi Dressed up for the night Every time I turn it round The lining comes to light Pretty little alibi You can let it lie I would rather hear you laugh Than another reason why [Verse 2] You were buying me a present You were waiting for a train You were looking for my number Through the glass in pouring rain But the present's on your sister And the station isn't there And my number hasn't changed Since you cut that lock of hair [Bridge] You needn't make a court case Of an evening on your own Just tell me where the truth begins And leave the rest alone [Final Chorus] Pretty little alibi Dressed up for the night Every time I turn it round The lining comes to light Pretty little alibi You can let it lie You can tell me you went dancing I can dance, you ought to try I can dance You ought to try

02Don't Polish My Halo2:35
[Verse 1] Your mother likes my haircut Your father likes my shoes You've told them I'm a rising man With educated views You say I sing in chapel You say I'm saving up The only thing I'm saving Is the bottom of my cup [Chorus] Don't polish my halo Don't shine up my name Don't put me on the mantelpiece And call me when there's blame I've got a crooked collar And a fairly honest grin Don't polish my halo Let a little daylight in [Verse 2] I owe a man a fiver I never make my bed I've started seven businesses And none has earned my bread But I can fix your bicycle And tell you when I'm wrong And when you take the wrong side I won't leave you there for long [Bridge] I'd like to meet your people I'd like to shake their hands But I can't keep the promises You make on my behalf [Final Chorus] Don't polish my halo Don't shine up my name Don't put me on the mantelpiece And call me when there's blame I'll come in through the front door You can tell them what I am Don't polish my halo I'm a fellow, not a plan
