Paolo Nutini - These Streets (2006) by Paolo Nutini (보컬) on maniadb.com

You said you'd marry me if I was 23
But I'm one that you can't see if I'm only 18
Tell me who made these rules
Obviously not you
Who are you answering to?

Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me

I'll be around again to see the other men
They're more adequate in the age department
I did not think you cared.
There'd be no problems here
But now you're looking at me like you're disgusted
Then I'm definitely waiting for you to smile and change your mind
Then I'll say I'm sorry and I'll wrap my arms 'round your body
I really hope that you forgive in a hurry
And don't just ask me to leave

Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
Don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me

Oh, Jenny you are crazy!
First I'm perfect, then I'm lazy
And I was calling you my baby
Now it sounds like you just left me.
And it kills me!

Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it's just you and me.
Don't sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight

[chorus:]
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me

Oh, I've found, that I'm bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realise all about your lies
But I'm no wiser than the fool I was before.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight

[chorus]

Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?

[chorus x2]

Yeah, lay down beside me.

One last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me

Pickin up the pieces of the wreck you went and left
And I'm dealing with dilemmas
in my not-so-stressful life
And I'm drinking stronger spirits
I made my home here on the floor
And I'm losing all ambition
I'm ghost

And I'm going all out
And I'm thinking you are just as bad

No sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar

Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind

Oh remember at 16
Oh the crazy drunken night we had
When I kissed you in the hallway
Then I took you straight to bed

Well 2 years on
And I'm still that same boy I was

No sleeping at night
You might blame it on me
But you persisted that we fold
Wiped your hands of me and said you needed
more, more, more
And I'm not sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar

Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind

Oh the phone you know it never stops,
it′s the last thing I hear at night
and the first thing in the morning.
and as I let it start to burn my head,
you slowly creep into bed
and i′m done talking

you say you know how i′m feeling,
I just need to try to settle down
Oh a million faces pass my way
Oh they′re all the same, nothing seems to change anytime I look around
Oh who knows just what the future holds
all I want to know is if it′s with you

Tired as hell and falling up the stairs,
filled with a thousand cares
as you walk out from the bedroom
though it feels like all my fire has gone,
you just turn me on
can′t believe how much I want you

you say you know how i′m feeling,
I just need to try to settle down
Oh a million faces pass my way
Oh they′re all the same, nothing seems to change anytime I look around
Oh who knows just what the future holds
all I want to know is if it′s with you

we′re distracted by the hard times,
and the troubles that we make
let us throw them in the ocean,
let it wash our cares away

oh the phone you know it never stops,
it′s the last thing I hear at night
and the first thing in the morning

Oh a million faces pass my way
Oh they′re all the same, nothing seems to change anytime I look around
Oh who knows just what the future holds
all I want to know is if it′s with you

we′re distracted by the hard times,
and the troubles that we make
let us throw them in the ocean,
let it wash our cares away
we′re distracted by the hard times,
and the troubles that we make
let us throw them in the ocean,
let it wash our cares away

Cross the border,
Into the big bad world
Where it takes you 'bout an hour
Just to cross the road
Just to stumble across another poor old soul from
The dreary old lanes to the high-street madness
Eye fight with my brain to believe my eyes
And it's harder than you think
To believe this sadness
That creeps up my spine
And haunts me through the night
And life is good and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm wondering 'round
With a half pack of cigarettes
Searching for the change that I've lost somehow

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Where'd the days go? When all we did was play
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from
Walking by a high-rise to a landmark square
You see millions of people with millions of cares
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
I look at the people as they sit there alone

Life is good, and the sun is shining
Everybody flirts to their ideal place
And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them
Trying to pretend that they've got some space

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm wondering 'round
With a half pack of cigarettes
Searching for the change that I've lost somehow

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in our Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Woke up cold one tuesday
I'm looking tired
and feeling quite sick
I felt like there was
something missing in my day
to day life
So i quickly opened
the wardrobe
Pulled out some jeans and
a T Shirt that seemed clean
Topped it off with a pair
of old shoes
That were ripped
around the seams
And i thought these shoes
just don't suit me
Hey I put some new shoes on
And suddenly
everything is right
I said hey
put some new shoes on
and everybody's smiling
It so inviting Oh
short on money
But long on time
Slowly strolling
in the sweet sunshine
And i'm running late
And i dont need an excuse
cause i'm wearing
my brand new shoes
Woke up late one thursday
And i'm seeing stars
as i'm rubbing my eyes
And i felt like there were
two days missing
As i focused all the time
And i made my way
to the kitchen
But i had to stop
from the shock of
what i found
A room full of all my friends
dancing round and round
And i thought hello new shoes
Byebye them blues
Hey I put some new shoes on
And suddenly
everything is right
I said hey
I put some new shoes on
and everybody's smiling
It so inviting Oh
short on money
But long on time
Slowly strolling
in the sweet sunshine
And i'm running late
And i dont need an excuse
cause i'm wearing
my brand new shoes

Take me wondering
through these streets
Where bright lights
and angels meet
Stone to stone
they take me on
Im walking to
the break of dawn
Take me wondering
through these streets
Where bright lights
and angels meet
Stone to stone
they take me on
Im walking to
the break of dawn
Hey I put some new shoes on
And suddenly
everything is right
I said hey
I put some new shoes on
and everybody's smiling
It so inviting Oh
short on money
But long on time
Slowly strolling
in the sweet sunshine
And i'm running late
And i dont need an excuse
cause i'm wearing
my brand new shoes
Hey I put some new shoes on
And suddenly
everything is right
I said hey
I put some new shoes on
and everybody's smiling
It so inviting Oh
short on money
But long on time
Slowly strolling
in the sweet sunshine
And i'm running late
And i dont need an excuse
cause i'm wearing
my brand new shoes

There's a heart on the line, and it rests with your eyes
please don't fade and please don't cry, 'cause it's all white lies
take a chance watch it fall, grab too much and lose it all
now i've lost my disguise, it was all white lies

stay here, lie here with me, oh lo-fi, lonley sighs
I will roam lost but never alone, hide with me, hide

would it help if I tried, or has it sailed and passed me by
first love grows then it does, and its all white lies

stay here, lie here with me, oh lo-fi, lonley sighs
I will roam lost but never alone, hide with me, hide with me

now you move with the tide and ive heard you've found peace of mind
and I know that life's design moves around white lies, white lies, white lies, white lies

Back off loneliness and hello tenderness,
i've been waiting for your call for so long
and it must been hard just to follow your soul,
to stick to the road that your heart wants you to go and as you slide through the door
with your morals on your sleeve
and i think it's time for all those morals to leave so lets get down and freaky baby, let's get restless baby come on get crazy with me

and i said
when you're loving me, i'm loving you and i love your prowess and the things that you do and it's your flawless soul that bleeds my stone and when your loving me i'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on

oooooo so many people think weve got it wr
ong they try to break us but we wont play along so lets get down and dirty baby, lets get restless baby


and i said
when you're loving me, i'm loving you and i love your prowess and the things that you do and it's your flawless soul that bleeds my stone and when you're loving me i'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on oh goin' on and i was so

and i eneded another home and you fly in my arms you just fly into my arms


and i said
when you're loving me, i'm loving you and i love your prowess and the things that you do and it's your flawless soul that bleeds my stone and when your loving me i'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on

when you're loving me, i'm loving you and i love your prowess and the things that you do and it's your flawless soul that bleeds my stone and when you're loving me i'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on

Autumn leaves under frozen soles,
Hungry hands turning soft and old,
My hero cried as we stood out their in the cold,
Like these autumn leaves I don't have nothing to hold.

Handsome smiles wearing handsome shoes,
Too young to say, though I swear he knew,
And i hear him singing while he sits there in his chair,
Now these autumn leaves float around everywhere.

And I look at you, and I see me,
Making noise so restlessly,
But now it's quiet and I can hear you saying,
'My little fish dont cry, my little fish dont cry.'

Autumn leaves how faded now,
that smile that i've lost, well i've found some how,
Because you still live on in my fathers eyes,
These autumn leaves, oh these autumn leaves, oh these autumn leaves are yours tonight.

mmmmmmm....

Coming home again
To see a girl thats prettier than a diamond shining in the sun
Oh what fun!
I wonder if she's been naked in her room since I've been gone
I wonder if she's said to them as she said to me before

However much you use me baby, come on use me more
However much you use me baby, come on use me more

Getting off the train
To see a girl thats sweeter than an apple picked from Adam's tree
Oh glory be!
And I wonder if she's been pressed against an unfamiliar wall
And said to all those men as she said to me before

However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more
However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more and more and more and more

La-la-la, la la la la

Arriving at the door
Just to be told that the girl I'm missing has been in London for a while
No more northern skies for her
They say she's left a letter up the stair for everyone
It's pinned against her bedroom door for all the world to see and she says

However much I love you, you will always love me more
However much I love you, you will always love me more
And I guess it's true
However much she loves me I will always love her more

La-la-la la la la la

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more and more and more...

suger man, won't you hurry?
'cause I'm tired of these scenes
for a blue coin won't you bring back
all those colours to my dreams?

silver magic ships you carry
on a lonely dusty road
lost my heart when I found him
it had turmed to dead vlack coal

silver magic ships, you carry
jumpers cold, sweet Mary Jane

sugar man, you're the answer
that makes all my questions disappear
sugar man, cause I'm weary
of those awful games, I hear

silver magic ships, you carry
Jumpers cold, sweet Mary Jane

suger man, won't you hurry?
cause I'm tired of these scenes..
