Lyrics

Fake Tales of San Francisco
Echo through the room
More point to a wedding disco
Without a bride or groom

There's a super cool band yeah
With their trilbys and their glasses of white wine
And all the weekend rock stars in the toilets
Practicing their lines

I don't want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don't want to hear you no
(Kick me out, kick me out)

Fake Tales of San Francisco
Echo through the air
And there's a few bored faces in the back
All wishing they weren't there

And as the microphone squeaks
A young girl's telephone beeps
Yeah she's dashing for the exit
she's running to the streets outside
"Oh you've saved me," she screams down the line
"The band weren�t very good
And I'm not having a nice time�

Yeah but his bird thinks it's amazing, though
So all that's left
Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf

He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar
I don't quite know the distance
But I'm sure that's far
I'm sure that's pretty far

I'd love to tell you all my problem
You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham
So get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook

Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook

Hi, I'm from barcelona and yesterday, on 6 February 2010, I saw the ArcticMonkeis in live ... but now I'm sad because I just read the song "secret door" and, after thinking and thinking, I think that something happens to Alex Turner... If you look, he says that we are like fools, buying and buying tickets to cash them at a concert to see, do and say foolish tail that you see in our eyes ... I’m not sure if your know’s that, but, Kurt Covain (singer and guitarist of Nirvana) committed suicide in the subject, fans,her fans. He saw little by little, his group grew and grew until it became more commercial, and that was the only thing that kurt did not want, and Alex Turner may be going the same ... this is serious friends ... I don’t know what to say... tell me your opinion. We love ALEX TURNER for take out of sad situations, when we’ren cold in the worst moments of our lives... I HOPE HE WILL SEE WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US. ...
please, leed's song secret door, then leave a comment.
and I really sorry for my bad inglish XD
