James Blunt

My life is brilliant

My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
Cause I've got a plan
You're beautiful You're beautiful
You're beautiful it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

Yeah she caught my eye
As we walked on by
She could see from my face that I was
Fiying hIgh
And I don't think that I'll
see her again
But we shared a moment that will
last till the end
You're beautiful You're beautiful
You're beautiful it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

You're beautiful You're beautiful
You're beautiful it's true
There must be an angel
with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should
be with you

But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you

Beautiful dawn lights up the shore for me
There is nothing else in the world
I'd rather wake up and see with you
Beautiful dawn
I'm just chasing time again
Thought I would die a lonely man
in the endless night
But now I'm high running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you
remember me
Beautiful dawn melt with the stars again
Do you remember the day when my journey began
Will you remember the end of time
Beautiful dawn You're just blowing my mind again
Thought I was born to endless nights
until you shine
High running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older
Promise me tomorrow starts with you
Getting high running wild among all
the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
high running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

Beautiful dawn lights up the shore for me
There is nothing else in the world
I'd rather wake up and see with you
Beautiful dawn
I'm just chasing time again
Thought I would die a lonely man
in the endless night
But now I'm high running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you
remember me
Beautiful dawn melt with the stars again
Do you remember the day when my journey began
Will you remember the end of time
Beautiful dawn You're just blowing my mind again
Thought I was born to endless nights
until you shine
High running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older
Promise me tomorrow starts with you
Getting high running wild among all
the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
high running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

Beautiful dawn lights up the shore for me
There is nothing else in the world
I'd rather wake up and see with you
Beautiful dawn
I'm just chasing time again
Thought I would die a lonely man
in the endless night
But now I'm high running wild among all the stars above

Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
high running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

Saw the world
turning in my sheets
And once again
I cannot sleep
Walk out the door
and up the street
Look at the stars
beneath my feet
Remember rights
that I did wrong
So here I go
Hello hello
There is no place
I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy
does it show
I lose the
track that loses me
So here I go

And so I
sent some men to fight
And one came back at
dead of night
said he'd seen my enemy
said 'he looked
just like me
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go

I'm not calling for a
second chance
I'm screaming
at the top of my voice
Give me reason
but don't give me choice
Cos I'll just make
the same mistake again

And maybe
someday we will meet
And maybe
talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises 'cause
There are no promises I keep
and my reflection troubles me
so here I go

I'm not calling for a
second chance
I'm screaming
at the top of my voice
Give me reason
but don't give me choice
Cos I'll just make
the same mistake
I'm not calling for a
second chance
I'm screaming
at the top of my voice
Give me reason
but don't give me choice
Cos I'll just make
the same mistake again

So while I'm turning
in my sheets
And once again
I cannot sleep
Walk out the door
and up the street
Look at the stars

Look at the stars
falling down
And I wonder where
did I go wrong

Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man,
in endless night.
But now I'm high
running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn
You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night,
until you shine.
High running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Will you be my shoulder
when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high
running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes
it's hard to believe you remember me
high
running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes
it's hard to believe you remember me

My life is brilliant

My life is brilliant My love is pure.
I saw an angel Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful You're beautiful.
You're beautiful it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high, And I don't think
that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment
that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

There must be an angel
with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that
I should be with you.

But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you

She said to me, "Go steady on me.
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down from Heaven,
Smoked nine 'til seven,
All the shit that they could find,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."
Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?
Really sorry now, They weren't to know.
They got caught up in your talent show,
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
Who just judge each other and try to impress,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.
Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

How I wish I could surrender my soul
Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.
I guess it's time I run far, far away find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.
I guess it's time I run far, far away find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words it's just tears and rain.
tears and rain.
Far, far away find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words it's just tears and rain.

Judging by the look on the organ-grinder,
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit.
It's touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder.
He's waiting for the day when he gets me,
But I don't need no alibi - I'm a puppet on a string.
I just need this stage to be seen.
We all need a pantomime to remind us what is real.
Hold my eye and know what it means.
I'm out of my mind.

Judging by the look on the organ-grinder,
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit.
It's touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder.
He's waiting for the day when he gets me,
But I won't be your concubine - I'm a puppet not a whore.
I just need this stage to be seen.
Won't you be a friend of mine to remind me what is real?
Hold my heart and see that it bleeds.
I'm out of my mind.

I'm out of my mind.

I just can't believe that it's over
We were chillingout on the sofa
Digging how the guitar goes
In a song that no one knows
Did you lick that line yourself
Or did the voodoo magic help
Does everyone have a different take
you seem real but I seem fake
Does everyone
get hypnotized by your fire
So long Jimmy so long
Though you only stayed a moment
We all know that you're the one
Singing
So long Jimmy so long
Sure we're glad for the experience
We miss you now you've gone
We're just swimming in your soul
cause we all wish we wrote this song
Life goes on

I'm just so relieved that it's over
We were hanging out going nowhere
Digging how the guitar goes
In a song that no one knows
Did you burn that bridge yourself
Or did the voodoo magic help
Does everyone have a different take
you just cool and I'm just baked
Does everyone
get mesmerized by your fire
So long Jimmy so long
Though you only stayed a moment
We all know that you're the one
Singing
So long Jimmy so long
Sure we're glad for the experience
We miss you now you've gone
We're just
swimming in your soul
cause we all wish we wrote this song
Life goes on

Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).
He knows the price that he's paid.
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
He's got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain).
He accepts it's his fate.
He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Now he's just known as a cheat.
And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer.
Seen into the eyes of the weak.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.
You and I have been through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.
I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me,
and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
Once again,
Cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.

Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families? turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Laying in the dark
And I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call

And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you, go
I'll be waiting when you call

Hey and whenever I fall at your feet
you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall

Whenever I fall at your feet
you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I fall, Whenever I fall

Me and my guitar play my way
It makes them frown
The little pieces
by the highway
Bring me down
Mine is not a heart of a stone
I am only skin and bone
Thoese little pieces
are little pieces of my own
Why don't you
give me some love
I've taken a shit
load of drugs
I'm so tired of never
fixing the pain
Valia said to me
I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back
As someone else
Who's better than yourself
Many faces at the doorway
All hang around
Watch me fight in the hallway
But make no sound
So standing all alone
And I'm only skin and bone
So many faces but they all
look out for their own
Why don't you
give me some love
I've taken a shit
load of drugs
I'm so tired of never
fixing the pain
Valia said to me
I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back
as someone else
Who's better than yourself

Why don't you
give me some love
I've taken shit load of drugs
I'm so tired of never
fixing the pain
Valia said to me
I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back
as someone else
Who's better than
yourself today
And someday
Soon they'll drop the bomb
Let it all out
Someday
I know that someday
Soon we'll all be gone
So let it all out
Let it all out today
And give me some love
Yeah give me some love
Come give me some love today

Are you calling for
our last dance
I see it in your eyes
in your eyes

I could use the same
old lines
but I'll sing
Shine on just shine on
Close your eyes and
they'll all be gone
They can scream
and shout that
they've been sold out
but it paved the cloud that
we're dancing on
So shine on just shine on
With your smile just as
bright as the sun
Cause they're all
just slaves to the Gods
they've made
But you and I
just shone
just shone

And when silence greets
my last goodbye
The words
I need are in you're eyes
And I'll sing
Shine on just shine on
Close your eyes and
they'll all be gone
They can scream and
shout that they've been
sold out but it paved
the cloud that
we're dancing on
So shine on just shine on
With your smile just as
bright as the sun
Cause they're all just
slaves to the Gods
they've made
But you and I just shone
just shone

So shine on just shine on
Close your eyes and
they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout
that they've been sold out
but it paved the cloud that
we're dancing on
So shine on just shine on
With your smile just
as bright as the sun
Cause they're all
just slaves to the
Gods they've made
But you and I just shone
just shone

Annie you had your
dream on the bright lights
I thought I saw your
photograph
having such a laugh
in a magazine
Did it all come true
then Annie
you were made for the
big time
They said you were
a star to be
In the NME
But the walls came
tumbling down
Down
Will you go down on me
'Cause Annie you're a star
You're just not
going very far
And all the world will
know your name
And you'll be famous
as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Annie would it be nice
to be recognized
Did you practice
your autograph
But now no ones asked
And it's such a shame
Your dreams are crumbling
Annie why aren't
you big in limelight
'Cause I thought
that you said you'd be
A celebrity several
years ago
But it all came
tumbling down
Down
Will you go down on me
'Cause Annie you're a star
You're just not
going very far
And all the world will
know your name
And you'll be famous
as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Annie you're a star
You're just not going
very far
And all the world will
know your name
And you'll be famous
as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you
Annie you're a star
You're just not
going very far
And all the world will
know your name
And you'll be
famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Is it a warning?
Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people
who have lost their mind?
Is it the darkness?
Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend
leaving you behind?
Is it a bad day
for human kind?
Is it a prophet
with a one track mind?
Is it a finish?
Is it a fearful find?
Is it the center
as your world unwinds?

And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.

And there she goes
And there she goes

And is it evil?
Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realize
you’d better get out quick?
And is it envy
Or pride that makes them vain?
Did you give your all
But you’re only small
And now your body’s drained?
This is never gonna stop.
They will never let you go.
You're in a rush.
They don’t care enough.
’Cause their lives are very slow.
Time is ticking on.
Too long to fake your smile.
But then you sold your soul for a leading role
So wear it for a while.

And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.

And there she goes
And there she goes

So ‘round you’ll see me run
‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
‘Cause it’s strange and new

And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance here on my own.
And I hope the lonely hearts club band
Will play out one last song
Before the sun goes down.

And there she goes
And there she goes

So ‘round you’ll see me run
‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
‘Cause it’s strange and new

So ‘round you’ll see me run
‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
‘Cause it’s strange and new

And if I can’t hear the music
And the audience is gone
I’ll dance…

Simona
You're getting older
Your journey's been Etched on your skin


Simona
Wish I had known back
What seemed so strong
Had been there and gone


I will call you up everyday Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
It was nineteen seventy three
Singing "here we go again"


Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone


Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song


I will call you up everyday Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
It was nineteen seventy three
Singing "here we go again"



I will call you up everyday Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
It was nineteen seventy three
Singing "here we go again"



I will call you up everyday Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
It was nineteen seventy three
Singing "here we go again"


And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
It was nineteen seventy three

So while
turning in my sheets
And once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door
and up the street
Look at the stars
beneath my feet
Remember rights
that I did wrong
So here I go
Hello hello
There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy does it show
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go

And so I sent some
men to fight
And one came back at
dead of night
said Have you seen my enemy
said he looked
just like me
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go

I'm not calling
for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of
my voice
Give me reason
but don't give me choice
Cos I'll just make
the same mistake again

And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk
and not just speak
Don't buy the promises as cause
There are no promises as I keep
and my reflection troubles me
so here I go

I'm not calling
for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of
my voice
Give me reason
but don't give me choice
Cos I'll just make
the same mistake
I'm not calling
for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of
my voice
Give me reason
but don't give me choice
Cos I'll just make
the same mistake again

So while
I'm turning in my sheets
And once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door
and up the street
Look at the stars

Look at the stars
falling down
And I wonder where
did I go wrong

One day your story will be told
One of the lucky
one's who made his name
One day they'll
make you glorious
Beneath the lights of you
deserved fame
And it all comes round
Once in a lifetime like it
always does
Everybody loves you
cause yo've taken a chance
Out on a dance to the moon
too soon
And they'll say told you so
We were the ones
who saw you first of all
We always knew that you
were one of the brightest stars
One day they'll tell you
that you've changed
Though they're the ones
who seem to stop
and stare
One day you'll hope to
make the grave
Before the papers choose to
send you there
And it all comes round
Once in a lifetime like it
always does
Nobody loves you
cause you've taken a chance
Out on a dance to the moon
too soon
And they'll say told you so
We were the ones
who saw you first of all
We always knew that you
were one of the brightest stars

And they'll say told you so
We were the ones who
saw you first of all
We always knew that you
were one of the brightest stars

"Love, Love, Love"

I'm not looking for us
And neither should you.
Absolutely gorgeous,
Then nothing I say is true.
You won't find yourself
In these guilty eyes

'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me
And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.

Love, love, love
I can't take your
Love, love, love

And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.

I will wrap my body
In other women's arms.
Make love in a hurry,
Feel better than I am.
Hope you find yourself
In someone else's eyes

'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me
And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.

Love, love, love
I can't take your
Love, love, love

And so I say I don't love you

'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe (Love, love, love)
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me (Love, love, love)
And so I say I don't love you, (Love, love, love)
Though it kills me
'Cause it's a lie

'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe (Love, love, love)
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me (Love, love, love)
And so I say I don't love you, (Love, love, love)
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.

if i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one would surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seem to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you
(repeat)
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you

Breakfast in America


Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
Cos everyone's a millionaire

I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do

Don't you look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Simona
You're getting older
Your journey's been Etched on your skin


Simona
Wish I had known back
What seemed so strong
Had been there and gone


I will call you up everyday Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
It was nineteen seventy three
Singing "here we go again"


Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone


Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song


I will call you up everyday Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
It was nineteen seventy three

Annie you had your
dream on the bright lights
I thought I saw your
photograph
having such a laugh
in a magazine
Did it all come true
then Annie
you were made for the
big time
They said you were
a star to be
In the NME
But the walls came
tumbling down
Down
Will you go down on me
'Cause Annie you're a star
You're just not
going very far
And all the world will
know your name
And you'll be famous
as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Annie would it be nice
to be recognized
Did you practice
your autograph
But now no ones asked
And it's such a shame
Your dreams are crumbling
Annie why aren't
you big in limelight
'Cause I thought
that you said you'd be
A celebrity several
years ago
But it all came
tumbling down
Down
Will you go down on me
'Cause Annie you're a star
You're just not
going very far

My life is brilliant

My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
Cause I've got a plan
You're beautiful You're beautiful
You're beautiful it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

Yeah she caught my eye
As we walked on by
She could see from my face that I was
Fiying hIgh
And I don't think that I'll
see her again
But we shared a moment that will
last till the end
You're beautiful You're beautiful
You're beautiful it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

You're beautiful You're beautiful
You're beautiful it's true
There must be an angel
with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should
be with you

But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you

Beautiful dawn lights up the shore for me
There is nothing else in the world
I'd rather wake up and see with you
Beautiful dawn
I'm just chasing time again
Thought I would die a lonely man
in the endless night
But now I'm high running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you
remember me
Beautiful dawn melt with the stars again
Do you remember the day when my journey began
Will you remember the end of time
Beautiful dawn You're just blowing my mind again
Thought I was born to endless nights
until you shine
High running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older
Promise me tomorrow starts with you
Getting high running wild among all
the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
high running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

Trouble is her only friend
and he's back again
Makes her body older
than it really is
She says it's high
time she went away
No one's got much to say
in this town
Trouble is the only way is down
Down down
As strong as you were
tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
for the last time
A song for your heart
but when it is quiet
I know what it means and
I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

If she had wings
she would fly away
And another day
God will give her some
Trouble is the only way is down
Down down
As strong as you were
tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
for the last time
A song for your heart
but when it is quiet
I know what it means and
I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home
And they were all born
pretty in New York City tonight
And someone's little girl
was taken from the world tonight
Under the Stars and Stripes
As strong as you were
tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
for the last time
A song for your heart
but when it is quiet
I know what it means and
I'll carry you home
As strong as you were
tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
for the last time
A song for your heart
but when it is quiet
I know what it means and
I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

Beautiful dawn

Mein Leben ist großartig
Meine Liebe ist echt
Ich sah einen Engel
Das bin ich sicher
Sie lachelte mich an an der U-Bahn
Sie war in Begleitung eines Mannes
Aber ich lasse mir über das keine grauen Haare wachsen,
weil ich einen Plan habe.
Du bist schön. Du bist schön.
Du bist schön; das stimmt.
Ich sah dein Gesicht an einem überfüllten Ort,
und ich weiß nicht, was zu tun,
weil ich niemals mit dir sein werde.
Ja, sie fiel mir auf
als wir vorbei gingen.
Sie sah an meinem Gesicht, daß ich
verdammt high war,
und ich denk' nicht, daß ich sie wieder sehe,
aber wir teilten einen Augenblick, der ín die Ewigkeit dauert.
Du bist schön. Du bist schön.
Du bist schön, das stimmt.
Ich sah dein Gesicht an einem überfüllten Ort,
und ich weiß nicht, was zu tun,
weil ich niemals mit dir sein werde.
La an da an da
La an da an da da da
Du bist schön. Du bist schön.
Du bist schön, das stimmt.
Es muß eine Engelin mit einem Lacheln auf ihrem Gesicht geben,
als sie dachte aus, daß ich mit dir sein sollte.
Aber es ist zeit zu die Wahrheit entgegentreten:
Ich werde nie mit dir sein

Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh hey
It's 72 degrees
zero chance of rain
It's been a perfect day
We're all spinning on our heels
so far away from real
in California
We watched the sunset from our car
we all took it in
And by the time that it was dark
you and me had something yeah
And if this is what we've got
then what we got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you
I want you to know
The morning's on it's way
Our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go
I hope that you'll stay the night
Ooooh you'll stay the night
Ooooh yeah
We've been singing Billie Jean
Mixin' vodka with caffeine
We've got strangers stopping by
And though you're out of tune
Girl you blow my mind you do
And I'll say
I don't wanna say good night
There's no quiet corner
to get to know each other
And there's no hurry
I'm a patient man
as you'll discover
Cause if this is what we've got
then what we got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you
I want you to know
The morning's on it's way
Our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go
I hope that you'll stay the night
Ooooh you'll stay the night
Ooooh yeah
Just like the song
on our radio set
We'll share the
shelter of my single bed
But it's a different tune
that's stuck in my head
And it goes
If this is what we've got
then what we got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you
I want you to know
The morning's on it's way
Our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go
I hope that you'll stay the night
If this is what we've got
then what we got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you
I want you to know
The morning's on it's way
Our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go
I hope that you'll stay the night

Ooooooh, Oooooooh, Ooooooh, hey!

It's 72 degrees, zero chance of rain
It's been a perfect day
We're all spinning on our heels,
so far away from real
In California

We watched the sunset from our car,
we all took it in
And by the time that it was dark,
you and me had something, yeah!

And if this is what we've got,
then what we've got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you,

Girl you blow my mind, you do
And I'll say I don't wanna say good night

Is your discover

Cause if this is what we've got,
then what we've got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you,
I want you to know
The morning's on it's way,
our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go,
I hope that you'll stay the night

Just like the song on our radio set
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
But it's a different tune that's stuck in my head
And it goes...

If this is what we've got,
then what we've got is gold
We're shining bright and I want you,
I want you to know
The morning's on it's way,
our friends all say goodbye
There's nowhere else to go,
I hope that you'll stay the night

I'll be standing in the corner
Just watching her slaughter them
See you all go wild
I've been dipping in my finger
Testing out the water
See you on the other side

chorus

She is dangerous, she is dangerous,
I'm sure (woah)
And she's all dressed up and
knocking at my door (woah)
She is dangerous, she is dangerous,
I know (woah)
But she's got my heart and she's never letting go

I'll be hanging on your heartache

Enough rope for my sake and losing everytime
I'll be wrapped around your finger,
let the moment linger
See you on the other side

chorus

And we all get a taste for blood tonight
Coz we've all had a taste of love
And we all get a taste for blood tonight
For love

chorus

You don't like it in the shadows
but you won't let me shine a light
I would wash away your troubles
But it seems
The more that I hold on
The more that you let go
And I know, you better let somebody love you
or find yourself, on your own

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

If we don't talk about the future
Then should I just, follow you into the dark
Yeah, and does your silence keep you cold
While the cracks form on my heart

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

It seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn your back
It seems you only want the things that you can't have.

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

Tell me the wars you're fighting

Behind the smile you're hiding

All the things I know you want to say





We tried our best to find us

But there are no lights to guide us

I can't sleep beside a stranger now



Piece by piece we fall apart

With every beat slows down my heart



chorus:

So I'll just say what you won't say

and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake

No turning back on what you can't save



So far gone

Yeah, we're so far gone



I've tried hard to remember

This prison cell used to be a shelter

Now we're just looking for the best way out

I can't fight you anymore

You're already one foot out the door



chorus:


So I'll just say what you won't say

and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake

No turning back on what you can't save



So far gone,

yeah we're so far gone





And this is the face of letting go

And these are things we already know





So I'll say what you won't say

and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake

No turning back on what you can't save



so far gone

we're so far gone



So I'll say what you won't say

and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake

No turning back on what you can't save





So far gone,

yes we're so far gone

yes we're so far gone

So I'll just what you won't say

Don't I know it? Nobody has to say
I've been lucky. Guess I was born that way.
I thank my father, his absence has made me strong.
And I love my mother but she had troubles with God.

[CHORUS]:

No tears for the life that you've led
You've had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end
All the things that you've seen
All the things that could have been
Well I've been everything I want to be
So, no tears, no tears for me

Yeah, I've bathed in sunshine but cherished the fading light

And I heard my heartbeat faulter on a winter's night
I loved a woman but she didn't hear my prayers
So Lord, oh Lord, I'm yours
No tears

[CHORUS]

Cause someone somewhere's going home tonight
Trying to understand the sacrifice
So save your tears for those left behind

[CHORUS]

There is an empty space in the chair tonight

Cause he don't feel right

There are stormclouds brewing at the back of his mind

As he steps outside



He will be twenty in a week

But he's old for his years

He's had many of those

To confront his own fears



But his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be

And his mother isn't growing old gracefully



He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar

Cause reality tv killed them all in america

Oh the sun always shines in a magazine

Tonight can we be free to be who we really are



There is an empty space between the lines tonight

And it burns so bright

And the angry silence that he throws on the floor

Says he don't care anymore


He had money for the truth

But love's a lot more

And the answer's is not the one he was looking for

His father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be

And his mother is his mother reluctantly



He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar

Cause reality tv killed them all in america

Oh the sun always shines in a magazine

Tonight can we be free to be who we really are



He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar

Cause reality tv killed them all in america

Oh the sun always shines in a magazine

Tonight can we be free to be who we really are

Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town

We were sweethearts from college she was always around

We were good for each other but some things they just don't work out



There were tears in my eyes when she walked away

We had plans to get married some day

But the promises were broken before they were even made:



Now I'm dancing with a broken heart

Ain't no doctor who can make it start

These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

Because I've given till I've given up

One more casualty of easy love

These are the words that I'll never gonna say again



Tender was my lover, god I miss her embrace

And I wonder who it is that puts a smile on her face

I recall the way she feels and oh I recall the way she tastes

If I could hold her now then all that I'd see'd

remind me of childhood memories

She was the first day of summer, yeah that girl, that girl's for me




Now I'm dancing with a broken heart

Ain't no doctor who can make it start

These are the words that I'll never gonna say again



Because I've given till I've given up

One more casualty of easy love

These are the words that I'll never gonna say again





And these are the words that I say to your picture

These are the words that I say in a dream

These are the words that I wish I'd said to you

when you were standing here next to me





Because I've given till I've given up

One more casualty of easy love

These are the words that I'll never gonna say again



Oooh now I'm dancing with a broken heart

Ain't no doctor who can make it start

These are the words that I'll never gonna say again





Now I'm dancing with a broken heart

Ain't no doctor who can make it start

These are the words that i'll never gonna say again

Well you can stand there waiting for a rainy day

Close up your heart and hide your dancing shoes away

And cut yourself with your mistakes

Leave all hope lying in a line of chalk

Everything you need is disguised in double talk

So wound yourself and let it ache



But if you're waiting for something to bring you round



chorus

I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name

Lift your head up high

I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name

Lift your head up high



It's all little pieces till there's nothing left

All just debris of your former self

Just take a breath for your own sake

Anf if you're watching for something to bring you round



chorus



And are you caught between the lines

Did no one see you fall behind



chorus

This time her mind is made up

Yeah, she's moving on

Tonight her spirit's crushed

It's 'cause she don't belong



Maybe she thinks too much

She thinks she's given enough

Only now they'll know she's got a heart of gold

Always looking for love

She's beginning to think she's cursed

On her looks she judged

By the folks at work



She don't care for fashion and fame

Those kind of people they are all the same

One day they'll know, she's got a heart of gold



And she sings, I want to know what love is

But it seems to come with so much pain

If no one wants to show me

It seems easier just to run away

When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul



But God he knows, I got a heart of gold

Been coming 'round here



Since she's a little girl

But now the change is clear

We live in a cynical world



She don't care for fashion and fame, no

Those kind of people they are all the same

They don't wanna know, she's got a heart of gold



And she sings, I want to know what love is

But it seems to come with so much pain

If no one wants to show me

It seems easier just to run away

When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul

But God he knows, I got a heart of gold



To see her footsteps in the snow



And she sings, I want to know what love is

But it seems to come with so much pain

If no one wants to show me

It seems easier just to run away

When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul

But God he knows, I got a heart of gold

Too many voices

Too many noises

Invisible wires keeping us apart

So many choices

Some disappointments

And they only steal me away from you

Climb into our private bubble

Let's get into all kinds of trouble



Chorus



Slide over here let your hands feel the way

There's no better method to communicate

So girl stop your talking

Words just get in the way

I'll be your man



So baby come over

From the end of the sofa

I'll be your man

I'll be your man



So many faces

Staring at their shoelaces

When all anyone want is to be seen

Well tonight let's be honest

We all want to be wanted

And darlin' you've got me wantin' you

Everything that I'm trying to say

Just sounds like a worn out cliche, so...



Chorus



What are we all looking for?

Someone we just can't ignore

It's real love dripping from my heart,

You've got me tripping

What are we all looking for?

Ooooooh....



Chorus

When you wake up
Turn the radio on
And you'll hear this simple song

That I made up
That I made up for you

When you're driving
Turn the radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
Hard these days
To get my message through

If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

When you marry
And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up, that it isn't me

When you're older
The memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live

But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name

But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name
When the song is over

I'm a boy and she's a girl

And we're gonna do this around the world

Catch her heart and count to five

And remember everybody dies you know,



I'm not her friend no, not second best

I'll send her home unless they're both in it

Together having had both of each other

That's my kinda party!

That's my kinda party!



I'm a boy and she's a girl

And we've all known this around the world

Around the world

Around the world

Around the world



So, why get complicated?

You know you wanna turn me on.

Why get complicated?

You know wanna turn me on.



Underwater, with someone's daughter

Gonna make you a dirty woman!

And when we both hold it together



And both in each other

That's my kinda party!

That's my kinda party!



I'm a boy and she's a girl

And we're all doing this around the world

Around the world

Around the world

Around the world



So, why get complicated?

You know you wanna turn me on.

Why get complicated

You know you wanna turn me on.





Why get complicated?

You know you wanna turn me on.

Why get complicated?

You know you wanna turn me on.

Why get complicated?

You know you wanna turn me on.

Why get complicated?

You know you wanna turn me on.
