I have taken out all the instrumental tracks, save one, because I'd be amused if anyone got it from one vocal sample.

1) We speak in the store, I'm a sensitive bore...
2) Put the car in the drive, no question we'll survive, there's a manacle by the door...
3) I became accustomed to a kind of social servitude
4) I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty [I had to look this up, and I'm dubious about that second part]
5) [First line of the verse as the actual first line gives it away...] When we're out walking, your mouth ain't where it's supposed to do the talking..
6) I have life, Ordinary wife, I have car, a favourite bar
7) Oh, Im loving what I see, each time you smile at me, I love the look of what youre thinking
8) I jumped in the river, and what did I see?
9) I'm telling you now and Im telling you this, life can be an onward, downward chip-chit-chip-chit-chip
10) I can't think straight, help me now before it's too late (is it just me, or does this one sound a bit like Supermarket by Denim?)
11) Suddenly...
12) Why do you come here? And why-y-y-y-y-ai-ai-ai, why do you hang around?
13) White on white, light sublime, subliminal
14) Elvis! The atmosphere's bobbins, grab that tambourine!
15) Bind it with a chancer, we had oysters and dry lancers
16) We didn't have nowhere to live, we didn't have nowhere to go
17) I freeze my hands as i close the door , to wait in line so i can wait some more
18) I don't care what they think about me and, I don't care what they say
19) We live on a mountain
20) Antiques! Every other sentiment an antique, as obsolete as warships in the Baltic
