Lyrics van Katie Melua
Belfast
I've got a ticket to the fast city
Where the bells don't really ring
Getting off the plane the cold air
Rushes like bullets through my brain
And I'm divided between penguins and cats
But it's not about what animal you've got
It's about being able to fly, it's about dying nine times
Walked on Broadway, going up to falls
With the old man I used to know
The paintings on the walls of release
Are colourful but they are no Matisse
And I'm divided between penguins and cats
But it's not about what animal you've got
It's about being able to fly, it's about dying nine times
It's about being able to fly, it's about dying nine times

Blame It on the Moon
Gonna blame it on the moon
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon
I was fine, feeling strong
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone
Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt
I'll blame it on the moon 'cause it's not my fault
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon
I was happy to be free
Didn't think I'd give myself so easily
Guilty feelings in the night
As I wonder is it wrong to feel so right
Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt
I'll blame it on the moon 'cause it's not my fault
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon
Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt
I'll blame it on the moon 'cause it's not my fault
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon
So I'll blame it on the moon

Blue Shoes
These blue shoes seem to suit me well
When I feel like hell
As I do now that you're gone
Lost and lonely since you stopped carin'
I've been wearing my new shoes
I've been wearing my blue shoes
You and I made the perfect pair
It don't seem fair
I loved you more than you know
Sorry, I'm in such a sorry state
But while I wait for some good news
I'll be wearing my blue shoes
Don't feel like walking strong
Shufflin' along on my way home
Trudgin' down that shopping street
Where we used to meet, but I ain't buying
I'm wearing my blue shoes and crying
These blue shoes seem to suit my soul
Since you shot that hole
Shot that hole in my heart
And if I wind up on the sidewalk bleeding
I won't be needing my new shoes
Won't be needing my blue shoes
These blue shoes seem to suit me well
When I feel like hell
As I do now that you're gone
Lost and lonely since you stopped carin’
I've been wearing my new shoes

Blues in the Night
My mamma done told me
When I was in pigtails
My mamma done told me
"Hon, a man is a two-face
He'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talking's done
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night"
Now the rain's fallin'
Hear the trains callin', "Whooee"
Hear the lonesome whistle
Blowin' across the trestle, "Whooee"
A-whooee-ah-whooee, clickety-clack
Comes echoing back
The blues in the night
From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I've been in some big towns
And heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night
My mamma done told me
When I was in pig tails
My mamma done told me
"Hon, a man is a two-face
He'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talking's done
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing

Call of the search
I won't spend my life
Waiting for an angel to descend
Searching for a rainbow with an end
Now that i've found you
I'll call off the search
And i won't spend my life
Gazing at the stars up in the sky
Wondering if love will pass me by
Now that i've found you
I'll call off the search
Out on my own
I would never have known
This world that i see today
And i've got a feeling
It won't fade away
And i won't spend my days
Wishing that love will come along
'Cause you are in my life
Where you belong
Now that i've found you i
I'll call off the search.
Now that i've found you

Closest Thing to Crazy
How can I think I'm standing strong
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know that there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness and being close to you
How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart
It's so easy to close your eyes
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know that there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness and being close to you
And being close to you, and being close to you

Crawling up a hill
Every morning 'bout half past eight,
My mama wakes me says
"Don't be late"
Get to the office tryin' to concentrate,
My life is just a slow train
Crawling up a hill.
So i stop one day to figure it out,
I'll quit my job without
A shadow of a doubt,
To sing the blues that i know about,
My life is just a slow train
Crawling up a hill.
Minute after minute,
Second after second,
Hour after hour goes by,
Working for rich girl,
Staying just a poor girl,
Never stop to wonder why.
So here i am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that
Won't bring me down
My life is just a slow train
Crawling up a hill.
Every morning 'bout half past eight,
My mama wakes me says
"Don't be late"
Get to the office tryin' to concentrate,
My life is just a slow train
Crawling up a hill.
So i stop one day to figure it out,
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt,
To sing the blues that i know about,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.
Minute after minute, second after second,
Hour after hour goes by,
Working for rich girl,
Staying just a poor girl,
Never stop to wonder why.
So here i am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
My life is just a slow train...
So here i am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
My life is just a slow train...

Dirty Dice
Got an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other
And it's his good advice that I take
I live with a sprinkle of a little sin
When the world is asleep I’m awake
With the roll of my dirty dice
I’m only following the devil’s advice
I’ll take your love and leave my kind regards
But I never cheat at cards
So you really think you’re leading when we tango across the floor
It’s only ‘cause my feet are out of sight
Mine is the hand that spins you 'round
Then pushes you out into the night
With the roll of my dirty dice
I’m only following the devil’s advice
I’ll take your love and leave my kind regards
But I never cheat at cards
With the roll of my dirty dice
I’m only following the devil’s advice
I’ll take your love and leave my kind regards
But I never cheat at cards

Far Away Voice
Whoo
Faraway voice
We can hear you...hoo voice
What's it like to be heard
But from you not a word
Are you over those hills
Do you still hum the old melodies
Do you wish people listened
Over here with me
Whoo...Whoo...
Faraway voice,
What I would give give to hear that voice
What's it like to breath
My ears deceive me voice
And I will walk with you on a summer's day
And I will talk to you
Though you're faraway
And we'll sing through the years
Are you over those hills
Do you still hum the old melodies
Do you wish people listened
Over here with me

Ghost Town
The thing that makes me feel the most down
Is the feelin' that I'm livin' in a ghost town
Barn door bangin' in my face
Like tumbleweed I'm rollin' 'round this place
I see you arrivin' at the station
But it's only in my imagination
So I'm beggin' on my knees
Turn around and save me, baby, please
From this ghost town
I feel like givin' in
Since you left I'm livin' in
An old ghost town
Hey kid, I remember all the laughter
Especially when we woke the mornin' after
Why did you have to go away
Leavin' me to wander every day?
In this ghost town
I feel like givin' in
Since you left I'm livin' in
An old ghost town
We were born to ride
Side by side
We were always reachin' for the stars
And they can still be ours
If you free me from this ghost town
I feel like givin' in
Since you left I'm livin' in
An old ghost town
I feel like givin' in
Since you left I'm livin' in

Halfway Up the Hindu Kush
Ooh, the first time that I saw you
I said, "For goodness sake, that man's got the power
He's a charmer with a snake"
I was thrilled and fascinated but somehow liberated
When you took me to a place I'd never been
You showed me lots of things I'd never seen
You set me free as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you for showing me the view
From halfway up the Hindu Kush
The next time that I saw you, you looked into my eyes
I was sitting on your carpet when I felt it begin to rise
I kinda got the feeling, I was floating to the ceiling
Instead of looking at the sky
You picked me up and showed me how to fly
You set me free as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you for showing me the view
From halfway up the Hindu Kush
From halfway up the Hindu
From halfway up the Hindu
From halfway up the Hindu Kush
You set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you for showing me the view

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

I Cried for You
You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
But others pass, they never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why
I cried for you when the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
I'll cross the sea
For a different world
With your treasure
A secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me
I cried for you and the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
Without you now I see
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay
I cried for you and the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper

I Do Believe in Love
They say we never landed on the moon
There's no wind there, they assume
I guess conspiracies are nothing new
But I'm sure I've been there with you
And I don't believe that in space
The only life is here on earth
How could we be the only race
That loves and hates 'til death from birth?
But I do believe in love
Though I should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me
But loving you
Is it true a politician's heart
Can rust away and fall apart?
I guess it must be hard
It must be hard to know what's good
And to know what's easy
You might think it's strange
For all my wild ideas
But I do not believe that change
Can ever happen without tears
But I do believe in love
Though I should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me
But loving you

I Think It's Going to Rain Today
Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me, the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

And i think its going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And i think its going to rain today
Lonely, Lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think ill kick it down the street
Thats the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And i think its going to rain today

If the Lights Go Out
They say the world must end somehow
They say the end's not far from now
I think they're wrong
Don't worry your life away
Start living for today
Don't think about tomorrow
And if the lights go out on all of us
In just a year or two
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain
Then I'll be here with you
I'll go down with you
Well, I'm gonna try for all I'm worth
To stay with you till the end of the earth
Don't let me down
Don't let your feelings win
Don't give out and don't give in
Don't think about tomorrow
‘Cause if the lights go out on all of us
In just a year or two
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain
Then I'll be here with you
I'll go down with you
And if the lights go out on all of us
In just a year or two
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain
Then I'll be here with you
I'll go down with you
I'll go down with you

If You Were a Sailboat
If you were a cowboy I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
If you were a river I would swim you
If you were a house I would live in you all my days
If you were a preacher I'd begin to change my ways
Sometimes I believe in fate
But the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me
I took a chance on loving you
If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long
If I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs
Sometimes I believe in fate
But the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me
I took a chance on loving you
If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you'd read me every night
If you were a cowboy I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore

In My Secret Life
I saw you this morning
You were moving so fast
Can’t seem to loosen my grip
On the past
And I miss you so much
There’s no one in sight
And we’re still making love
In my secret life, in my secret life
I smile when I’m angry
I cheat and I lie
I do what I have to do
To get by
But I know what is wrong
And I know what is right
And I’d die for the truth
In my secret life, in my secret life
Hold on, hold on, my brother
My sister, hold on tight
I finally got my orders
I’ll be marching through the morning
Marching through the night
Moving ‘cross the borders of my secret life
I looked through the paper
Makes you wanna cry
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it’s either black or white
Thank God, it’s not that simple
In my secret life
I bite my lip
I buy what I’m told
From the latest hit
To the wisdom of old
But I’m always alone
And my heart is like ice
And it’s crowded and cold
In my secret life, in my secret life
In my secret life, in my secret life

It's All in My Head
Every night we fall into bed
But it’s all in my head
Every night we fall in a heap
And you kiss me to sleep
And baby, all the sleepy things you say
Blow me away ‘til the next day
When I find what we did and we said
Was all in my head
Every night you whisper to me
This always will be
Every night you smooth down my hair
But you’re not really there
And darling, it seems as if we know
Our love will grow, then the next day
I find what we did and we said
It was all in my head
Drowsy, drinking, I keep thinking
We’re not far apart
Scared of waking, lonely, aching
Just me and my hopeless heart
Sleeping soundly, your arms ‘round me
Through the night we cruise
Then I found it’s in my mind
That you stroke away my blues
Every night we fall into bed
But it’s all in my head
Every night we fall in a heap
And you kiss me to sleep
And baby, all the sleepy things you say
Blow me away ‘til the next day

Just Like Heaven
"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream?", he said
"The one that makes me laugh", he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
"Why are you so far away?", he said
"Why won't you ever know
That I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you?"
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of me
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

Lilac Wine
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Lost my heart in its recipe
It made me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
But I think more than I ought to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because I brings me back you
Lilac wine is sweet and heady like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady like my love
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that he? Or am I just going crazy?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love
Feel unready for my love

Mary Pickford
Mary Pickford used to eat roses
Thought that they’d make her
Beautiful and they did
One supposes
Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome
He wore a mustache
Must’ve had much cash too
Worth a king’s ransom
Charlie Chaplin, he was invited
When these artists became united
When these artists became united
David Griffith worked as an extra
Then as a stagehand
Until they let him be
A director
Dave was brave, a mover and shaker
A true pioneer
He seemed to show no fear
A real film maker
Just like Chaplin he was invited
When these artists became united
When these artists became united
They tied the knot together
Groom and bride couldn’t hide their pleasure
They tried to pick fair weather
But love died and didn’t last forever
Mary Pickford used to eat roses
Thought that they’d make her
Beautiful and they did

Mockingbird Song
Now hush, now honey, here's the word
My baby's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
Baby's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
We'll still have a real good time
So I'm sitting right here
Woah
To this man that I have found
I'm gonna sing the sweetest sound
And if that sweetest sound don't rock
I'm gonna buy him a music box
And if that music box don't play
He's gonna stay with me anyway
So I'm makin' it clear
Woah
When that man and I are wed
I'm gonna keep him warm in bed
And when my man's no longer hot
I'm gonna bring him a vodka shot
And when that spirit's made him strong
I'm gonna stay with him all night long
I'll be holding on tightly
Woah
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird

My Aphrodisiac Is You
Some people say
That oysters make you come on strong
But I don't buy it
I don't believe my diet turns me on
Won't take no pills
That's the last thing that I need to do
I can't deny it
My aphrodisiac is you
Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn
And go to bed in rubber gloves
But I don't need no stimulation
Potions, balms or embrocation
I'm in love, in other words
Don't smoke no grass
Or opium from old Hong Kong
That hubble bubble, just makes me see you double
All night long
Don't waste my time
With Spanish fly and roots to chew
They 'cause me trouble
Because my aphrodisiac is you
Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn
And go to bed in rubber gloves
But I don't need no stimulation
Potions, balms or embrocation
I'm in love, in other words
Some people like
To read the first
But I don't need it, I think if I should read it
I'd be worse
Don't ask me why
Because baby, I ain't got a clue
I just concede it
My aphrodisiac is ahh you

Nine Million Bicycles
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That's a guess
No one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you
I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say
There are six billion people in the world
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all
We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire
Of the love that you give me every night
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact

On the Road Again
Well, I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well, I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend
And I'm going to leave the city, got to go away
I'm going to leave the city, got to go away
All this fussing and fighting, man, I sure can't stay
You know the first time I traveled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
You know the first time I traveled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
I didn't have no fellow, not even no place to go
And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
When I was quite young
And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
When I was quite young
She said, "Lord, have mercy on my wicked son"
Take a hint from me, mama, please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me, mama, please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
'Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm gone
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
All by myself
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
All by myself
I can't carry you, baby, gonna carry somebody

Perfect Circle
A mask is easily placed
On a betrayed and broken face
A disguise to hide the past
When you mapped out my skin and made the memories last
Some things are never erased
And I have run when I’ve been chased
By recollections of you and me
Falling off our homemade castle
And even when I’m walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle
Oh, I try but I just can’t wait
To break out of this perfect circle
‘Cause giving into old temptation
Is like that common twitch
Oh, the silly, stupid realization
The more you scratch the more you itch
Why am I fighting? What’s it for?
Must let my mask drop to the floor
My scars I shouldn’t hide
From the people who are on my side
Rolling up my sleeves to fight against
All the things I locked up, all the things I fenced
But it’s time to let it out
So we can build a brand new castle
And even when I’m walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle
Oh, I try but I just can’t wait
To break out of this perfect circle
‘Cause giving into old temptation
Is like that common twitch
Oh, the silly, stupid realization
The more you scratch the more you itch

Piece by Piece
First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
To your whispers in my dreams
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart
'Cause your kiss
Went deeper than my skin
Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
First of all must fly
My dreams of you and I
There's no point in holding on to those
And then our ties will break
For your and my own sake
Just remember
This is what you chose
Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
I'll shed like skin
Our memories of lazy days
And fade away the shadow of your face

Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss

Scary Films
Scary films don't scare me
Now that you're around
Since you've been around
Nowadays I never cry
When the monster kills the guy
And the psychopathic wife
Kills the husband with a knife
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Of all those horror scenes
Which crept in uninvited
I'm in love and I'm so excited
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Scary films just make me smile
When you are here
When you are here
In your arms I'm not afraid
When the aliens invade
And the vampire's just a joke
'Cause I know he's just a bloke
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Of all those horror scenes
Which crept in uninvited
I'm in love and I'm so excited
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Zombies marching through the mist
Make me think of being kissed
And I don't care when peoples' heads
End up being torn to shreds
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Of all those horror scenes
Which crept in uninvited
I'm in love and I'm so excited
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Thanks for clearing my dreams
Lyrics delivered by lyricsfly.com
Now that you're around
Since you've been around
Nowadays I never cry
When the monster kills the guy
And the psychopathic wife
Kills the husband with a knife
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Of all those horror scenes
Which crept in uninvited
I'm in love and I'm so excited
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Scary films just make me smile
When you are here
When you are here
In your arms I'm not afraid
When the aliens invade
And the vampire's just a joke
'Cause I know he's just a bloke
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Of all those horror scenes
Which crept in uninvited
I'm in love and I'm so excited
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Zombies marching through the mist
Make me think of being kissed
And I don't care when peoples' heads
End up being torn to shreds
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Of all those horror scenes
Which crept in uninvited
I'm in love and I'm so excited
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams
Thanks for clearing my dreams

Shy Boy
I'm sittin' in the window of a street cafe
Watchin' you walking by each day
It seems that you always wanna look my way
Hey, you can't deny, boy
You're such a shy boy
So good looking, you seem to be
But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me
You could make it happen so easily, me
Woah, I'll tell you why, boy
'Cause I'm looking for a shy boy
Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to
If this was a quiz on a TV show
And the prize was a guy who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer I know
Hey, my reply boy is gimme a shy boy
Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to
Some guys act a bit too sure
And maybe you're thinkin' that less is more
But honey, you still gotta knock on my door
Hey, just try boy and you could be my boy
I'll tell you why, boy
I'm looking for a shy boy
Just try, boy
You're such a shy boy

Spellbound
I heard that lately
Gone through a mysterious change
People say you're secretive
And you've been acting strange
They say there's magic afoot
Stay away, they all warn
But to me you were magical
From the day that you were born
I have become spellbound, spellbound
You've lifted me up high
You know I don't know how to get down
No, I don't know how to get down
You're very different
You are so rare
Some kind of witchcraft
Is flying through the air
I'll admit I can't explain
Why I feel how I do
So you must have cast a spell
That's why my life feels new
I have become spellbound, spellbound
You've lifted me up high
You know I don't know how to get down
No, I don't know how to get down
I have become spellbound, spellbound
You've lifted me up high
You know I don't know how to get down
No, I don't know how to get down
No, I don't know how to get down
No, I don't know how to get down

Spider's Web
If a black man is racist, is it okay
If it's the white man's racism that made him that way
Because the bully's the victim they say
By some sense they're all the same
'Cause the line between wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colors in your mind
I could tell you to go to war
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more
How do I know which is right
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight
'Cause the line between wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colors in your mind
Should we act on a play
Or should we chase the moments away
Should we live, should we give
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time
'Cause the line between wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colors in your mind
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colors in your mind

The Closest Thing to Crazy
How can I think I'm standing strong, yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong? How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep? Why did I fall in love with you?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know that there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness and being close to you
How can you make me fall apart then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart, it's so easy to close your eyes
How can you treat me like a child, yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild? How can anyone feel so blue?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know that there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness and being close to you
And being close to you, and being close to you

Tiger in the Night
You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
You are the one who keeps me strong in this world
You sleep by the silent cooling streams
Down in the darkness of my dreams
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright
I was the one who looked so hard, I could not see
And now I could never live
Without the love you give to me
I lived like a wild and lonely soul
Lost in a dream beyond control
You are the one who brought me home down to earth
For you are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright

What I Miss About You
Missing the train every morning at 8:52
Sipping coffee from the same cup as you
The sharing of secrets we thought no one else knew
That’s what I miss about you
The new way that love had made me see
Your bashful grin when you asked if I would like your key
The knowing way you used to caress me
That’s what I miss about you
You stole in with your starry smile exciting me
Driving with you in your new car, feeling free
If it's true that love is blind then I was blind willingly
You made me feel we had a future that could be and would be
The way you said I’d be no one on my own
Your habit of soaking yourself in over-priced cologne
The way you turned the lights out when I knew you were home
That’s what I don’t miss about you
I bet you’re using your weary magic like it’s new
Driving so fast with a new fool beside you
Presumably believing she’s the last of the lucky few
I wonder if she knows she’s being lied to like I do
The way I only doubted myself when I was with you
Like I was flawed for expecting something from life too
Your skill of putting me down in front of everyone we knew
That’s what I don’t miss about you

What It Says on the Tin
How can I say it? Where do I begin?
Everything you are is just what it says on the tin
Words that were honest spoken from the heart
Everything you did was just what you said from the start
You are the angel with whom I would gladly live in sin
Thanks for being exactly what it says on the tin
I never doubted and though I never shouted from the roof
All about it, I’m with you every day as living proof
Ain’t gonna lose now
Such a lot to win
‘Cause I will always know
You’re just what it says on the tin
You are the angel with whom I would gladly live in sin
Thanks for being exactly what it says on the tin
I never doubted and though I never shouted from the roof
All about it, I’m with you every day as living proof
Ain’t gonna lose now

You’re just what it says on the tin
