Lamb Complete Lyrics Archive

B i o g r a p h y
(by Sean Cooper )

Mancunian downtempo and drum'n'bass duo Lamb earned notice as one of the first groups to add a lyrics-based vocalist to steadfastly jungle-based productions. Unlike other vocal-based groups (such as Everything But the Girl and the Sneaker Pimps) who dabbled in rolling breaks as a quiet accompaniment to a clearly dominant vocal lead, Lamb dwell in brash musical contrasts and, occasionally, contradictions that make their songs as musically complex and exploratory as they are vocally catchy. Formed in 1994 by producer Andrew Barlow and vocalist Louise Rhodes (the former an in-house engineer for So What management, the latter a daughter of folk-singer parents and a budding songstress), Lamb nailed a contract with Mercury subsidiary Fontana almost straight out of the gate.

The group's calling card, the "Cotton Wool" single, already showed field-leaders such as Gerald Simpson and Fila Brazillia were on their side (each contributed a remix). But if anything it was the untouched title track that illustrated Lamb's commitment to keeping the music interesting (the track rows along on a thick double-bass sample and absolutely brutalizing drum sequences) while filling it out with a big dose of tunefulness. An additional single ("Gold") followed, with Lamb's self-titled debut released in the fall of 1996 to widespread acclaim. Like the previous singles, much of Lamb explores song-oriented deployments of jungle, but the album also adds elements of downtempo and ambient-ish electro-jazz as well. Rhodes went on to lend her vocals to Sheffield legends 808 State's Don Solaris LP (on the track "Azura"), and the success of Lamb's debut also brought a fair amount of remix work their way. The pair also added touring to their repertoire (Lamb's release was followed by a European tour with labelmates Galliano), combining their electronics-heavy productions with live instrumentalists. Second album Fear of Fours appeared in 1999, and consolidated the band's appeal with forward-thinking electronica listeners. Another inventive record, What Sound, landed in 2001, although American audiences were forced to wait two years to hear it in a quietly released version on Koch. Between Darkness and Wonder followed in 2003, and one year later Barlow helmed a volume in the chillout mixtape series Back to Mine.

Lamb appeared to be winding down during the early 2000s, and in 2004 issued a compilation, Best Kept Secrets: The Best of Lamb 1996–2004. Rhodes began recording a solo album, Beloved One. It was released in 2006, earning a nomination for the Mercury Prize, and was followed by Bloom in 2008 and One Good Thing in 2010. Barlow spent time producing, and also recorded material that eventually ended up on an album, 2011's Leap and the Net Will Appear, released under the project name LOWB.

The duo reunited in 2009 for The Big Chill festival, and played a few other dates over the next year. They also began recording material, and released 5, their first album in eight years, in May 2011 on their own label (through Strata Music). Surprisingly, it found their intuitive balance of songwriting and challenging production virtually unchanged, and reviews were positive. A concert album, Live at Koko, followed in 2011, and their sixth album, Backspace Unwind, appeared in October 2014 (also via Strata).

Lusty

Start to wander

On my lonesome in this world
My hands start to long for
Your skin

Your kiss

But it's outside and in, it's burning
Only you can soothe me
Come cool me down

Oh, the things I'd doooooooo to you

Cotton wool

Here's my love
Step inside
Let me warm you up
By the fire in my heart

Step inside
Close the door
On the wind of fear
Brewing up behind you

You could stay here
Make your home here
Hideaway here

I could wrap you up in cotton wool
Here's somewhere you could let your love
Run free come and give your soul a resting place
Finding someome is like finding yourself a home
If the key fits - just open the door

'Cause you're never gonna spend a lonely day here
Come and watch your fear fly away
And you'll never hunger for a greener side than here

Gonna wrap you up in cotton wool and save you
And s a v e you
(And save you)

Where's your love
Let me in
To find the warm fire
That I know is there inside you
Let me in - it's cold outside
And I'll grow there
Find that place deep down inside you

You could hold me
And protect me from all harm
You could love me
You could wrap me up

And I could stay there
Make my home there
Hideaway there
You could wrap me up
In cotton wool

Trans fatty acid

No one said it would be easy
Did anyone tell you the road would be straight and long
Relax your mind and give it all to me
'Cause you know and I know our love is strong enough
To weather the rain
To weather the snow
To weather the storm
To weather the rain
To weather the snow
To weather the storm

Often I see fear in your eyes
And sometimes I know, your heart is full of little arrows
But trust in me and no one can do you wrong
'Cause I know and you know our love is strong enough
To weather the rain
To weather the snow
To weather the storm
To weather the rain
To weather the snow
To weather the storm

To weather the rain
To weather the snow
To weather the storm
To weather the rain
To weather the snow
To weather the storm

*** Thanx a lot to Camilla & Wendy & Machiel & Jan who corrected some mistakes ***

Zero

There's no one here today
'Cause someone took the light away
There's nothing in my heart
Don't think I could even start to explain
I can't stand the pain of losing something so much a part of me
Though in reality you were hardly there in my heart, in my heart
You were everything, everything
You were everything, everything

In these few hours a breath of summertime has turned to winter rain
In such little time all my hope has gone
Will it ever be the same
All I ever wanted was to see your face
To see a little smile from my little one and let
You know, and let you know
You were everything, everything
You were everything, everything

Babe I did all I could just
To give you life
I'd have done anything
Just to give you life life life liiife

Out there in the dark your little spirit is lost without a home
Oh don't be afraid I'm thinking of you, no you'll never be alone
Someday, somehow, when the time is right
May an angel smile upon me and give you life
To give you life
I'd give everything
I'd give everything, everything
I'd give everything to give you life
To give you life
To give you life to give you life give everything
I'll give everything give everything
I'll give everything

Gold

Stay with me forever and a day if I could be near you
For a lifetime I'd never want for anything
Hearing your voice is like icicles down my spine
And touching your warm skin
Starts electric storms
Through my mind.

You put a strength in me
I knew something was missing
Just take me everywhere you go
This girl's in heaven

Feeling this way about someone like you
Couldn't be clearer, or dearer, or so overdue
So sure so pure
So much what I was looking for
Here are you filling up my life
My life
You put a strength in me
I knew something was missing
Just take me everywhere you go
This girl's in heaven

Life is light in everything about you
When you're as one, everything I touch is gold
Couldn't be in a better place to be
Than just around you
No, no, no, no, no, no

You put a strength in me
I knew something was missing
Just take me everywhere you go

You put a strength in me
I knew something was missing
Just take me everywhere you go
This girl's in heaven

Closer

Things change yet so much stays the same
Lifes just a dream we have of reality
Love's strength enhances what we have
And then strips us of our sanity
Still I stay
Growing strong
Every day
Closer to you

It's strange
Yet somehow obvious
That what we want the most
We must let go
Your head is freer still than mine
And not so cluttered with morality
Still I stay
Growing strong
Every day
Closer to you
Closer to you

Memories cloud our minds
Invading too much time
We build our own cages
Blames of no significance
In love its of no relevance to life
This very moment
I try every day
So still I stay
Growing strong
Every day
Closer to you
So still I stay
Growing strong
Every day
Closer to you
Closer to you

Gorecki

If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still my heart this moment
Or it might burst
Could we stay right here
Until the end of time until the earth stops turning
Wanna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs
Wanna stay right here
Until the end of time
'Til the earth stops turning
Gonna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for

The one I've waited for

All I've known
All I've done
All I've felt was leading to this
All I've known
All I've done
All I've felt was leading to this
Wanna stay right here
'Til the end of time 'till the earth stops turning
I'm gonna love you till the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
The one I've waited for
The one I've waited for

Wanna stay right here
'Til the end of time 'till the earth stops turning
I'm gonna love you till the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
The one I've waited for
The one I've waited for

*** Thanx a lot to Gideon who corrected a mistake on this one ***

Feela

You saw me crying but you didn't want to look
You heard me hurting but you didn't want to listen

This could have been something
This could have been really something
Tell me something more
Tell me something more worth living for

You felt me wanting but you didn't want to give
You sensed me sinking but you really couldn't save me

This could have been something
This could have been really something
Tell me something more
Tell me something more worth living for

People come and go it's just the way of the world
Love just ebbs and flows what's left for us to rely on

This could have been something
This could have been really something
Tell me something more
Tell me something more worth living for

There's so many things that we miss in our everyday lives
We're so busy hustling, bustling chasing far away dreams
We forget the little things
Like blue skies, green eyes and our babies growing
Like rainbows, fresh snow and the smell of summer
We forget to live.

Give us eyes like children so we live each day as our first
We're so sure we know so much that we forget to listen
Then we want the fickle things
Like cheap thrills fast fuel and constant consumption
Like TV, CDs and cars that speak our names
We forget to live.

There's so many things that we miss in our everyday lives
We're so busy hustling, bustling chasing far away dreams
We forget the little things
Like blue skies, green eyes and our babies growing
Like rainbows, fresh snow and the smell of summer
We forget to live.

Ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
It's in
Your eyes
And the way you move
You got music in your step
A kind
Of glow
Like you walk with the heat turned up
So brightly above

Suddenly I see
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you walk in the room
No escape for me
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you're close to me

If I could just
Compose myself
I'd radiate just the right amount of cool and heat
So you'd never know
How I tremble to touch you

Suddenly I see
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you walk in the room
No escape for me
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you're close to me

Suddenly I see
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you walk in the room
No escape for me
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you're close to me

I've been so excited since I knew I was gonna be with you
Now everyday the sun will shine on me from your eyes
I'm on a train to you and it's just not fast enough
Every second takes an hour, I can't sit still

You waited so long and so patiently for me to be
Sure I could trust the light in your eyes that shine
Now it's all in your hands and it feels so beautiful
Now you can lay them all on me as much as you like

Hmm the things that you do to me make me tremble
Just one look from your eyes make me weak
There's no greater love than the way I feel
Now I've let myself love you

You waited so long and so patiently for me to be
Sure I could trust the way that you make me feel
Now it's all in your hands and it feels so beautiful
Now you can lay them all on me as much as you like

Now it's all in your hands and it feels so beautiful
Now you can lay them on me as much as you like

Now it's all in your hands and it feels so beautiful
Now you can lay them on me as much as you like

Lay them on me baby
As much as you like
Lay them on me baby
As much as you like

Wanting you
Loving you
Holding You
Needing you
(Wanting you)
(Loving you)
(Holding you)
(Needing you)

Have you ever wondered why those days exist
When life just seems to be the conspiracy against you
I don't know where the answers lie
But I try not to get hung up on the questions

I burn like a good bonfire
In whatever I do
I burn like a good bonfire
And I know I'll come through

The time is long overdue for a house clearing of the soul
We all get so complicated in our lives
When walking just walk, when sitting just sit when being just be
Above all don't stray from your chosen path

Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do
Burn like a good bonfire
And I know you'll come through

Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do
Burn like a good bonfire
And may peace come to you

The time is long overdue for a house clearing of the soul
We all get so complicated in our lives

Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do
Just burn like a good bonfire
And I know you'll come through

Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do
Burn like a good bonfire
And may strength flow through you

(So happy with you)
(Happy with)

Softly kissing you as you lie sleeping
Breathing gently with you in your slumber
Your face is the picture of contentment
My angel's dreaming my angel's dreaming

(So happy with you)
I'm so happy with you
So happy with you
So happy with you
So happy with you

Slowly opening your wondrous eyes on me
Shining green and glorious in the morning sun
This moment what could be more precious?
May it live forever may it live forever

(So happy with you)
I'm so happy with you
So happy with you
So happy with you
So happy with you

Smiling on me your love gives me all the blessings of this new day
The heat in your skin caresses my senses in such a glorious way

(i'm so happy with you)
Smiling on me your love gives me all the blessings of this new day
The heat in your skin caresses my senses in such a glorious way

(So happy with you)
I'm so happy with you
So happy with you
So happy with you
So happy with you

Smiling on me your love gives me all the blessings of this new day
The heat in your skin caresses my senses in such a glorious way

Mister sunshine looks over his shoulder for rain
All ours joys in this life are outlined by pain

But all we do is search and search
For fulfillment that seems so illusive
We should know that it's all right here if we just could see it

All I want is here X4

We're so busy looking for a saviour
We don't see the power in ourselves
All our lives are precious, don't let it pass you by

All I want is here X4

Mister sunshine looks over his shoulder for rain
All ours joys in this life are outlined by pain

All I want is here X6

Fly

Take me away
So far away
I'm tired of looking over my shoulder

The things I've done
Weigh heavily
They tie me down
Won't let me go free

Angels come and take me
On silver wings
Carry me up to the sky
Angels come free me
From earthly things
And I'll fly
I'll fly
I'll fly

If I could go back
To where I began, I would
Yeah - if only I could
I'd never do
No one no harm
Wear a halo
So heavenly I'd grow

Angels come and take me
On silver wings
Carry me up
To the sky
Angels come free me
From ugly things
And I'll fly
I'll fly
I'll fly

Angels come and take me
On silver wings
Carry me up
To the sky
Angels come free me
From ugly things
And I'll fly
I'll fly
I'll fly
I'll fly
I'll fly
I'll fly
I'll fly

This was a body
Now it's a home
For you, my little alien

I feel you moving
It's oh so strange
Do you like the music

I'm a happy home
What's it like in there
I'm a happy home
I hope it's cosy in there

If home's where the heart is
That's where you are
My heart is right there
So long I've waited to be quite so occupied
Mysterious being by you

And I'm a happy home
What's it like in there
Yeah I'm a happy home
I hope it's cosy in there

This was a body
Now it's a home
For you, my little alien

I feel you moving
It's oh so strange
Do you like the music

And I'm a happy home
What's it like in there
Yeah I'm a happy home
I hope it's cosy in there

And I'm a happy home
What's it like in there
Yeah I'm a happy home
I hope it's cosy in there

Always and forever
We'll be free
Always and forever
Be with me

We'll have love aplenty
We'll have joys outnumbered
We'll share perfect moments
You and me

Always and forever
You will see
Always and forever
Just be with me

We'll have love aplenty
We'll have joys outnumbered
We'll share perfect moments
You and me
You and me
You and me

What sound

What is that sound
Ringing in my ears
The strangest sound
I've heard for years and years
The sound of two hearts
Beating side by side
The sound of one love
That neither one can hide

The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round

What is that sound
Running round my head
Funny I thought
That part was long since dead
But now there's new life
Crossing through my veins
Because there's someone
To make it beat again

The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round

What is that sound
Ringing in my ears
The strangest sound
I've heard for years and years
The sound of two hearts
Beating side by side
The sound of one love
That neither one can hide

Soon comes soon
Sweet so sweet
Falling soft
Between the sheets

This could be
Heaven right
Here on Earth
This could be heaven

This could be
Heaven right
Here on Earth
This could be heaven

Please you please
Mine be mine
Forever
And all time

This could be
Heaven right
Here on Earth
This could be heaven

This could be
Heaven right
Here on Earth
This could be heaven

Sleep to sleep
Sigh on sigh
On a lover's
Lullaby

This could be
Heaven right
Here on Earth
This could be heaven

This could be
Heaven right
Here on Earth
This could be heaven

This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven

I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel

I can love
But I need his heart
I am strong even on my own
But from him I never want to part
He's been there since the very start
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel

Bless the day he came to be
Angel's wings carried him to me
Heavenly
I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel

Written

The wind stands still around you
And suddenly i'm trembling and I don't know why
There's something deep about you
That echoes in my mind

Mystifying feelings
Running round in my brain
Love is all around me
And it's written in your name
Love is all around me
And it's written in your name

The wind stands still around you
And in your eyes the light inside you shines
If souls collide in heaven
Why not in present time

Words just can't convey it
Silence means no need to explain
Love is all around me
And it's written in your name
Love is all around me
And it's written in your name

I am overcome
What a strange thing you have done
From now on my life has change
Nothing now can be the same

Love is all around me
Love is all around me
And it's written in your name
Love is all around me
And it's written in your name

Sunshine takes me
To a place where
I’m living free

Something in your eyes
Is telling me
This is where I want to be

But I never thought it would be
So

Sweet, sweet, sweet
The way you make me feel

Funny
How it just gets
Sweeter and sweeter
Day by day
It’s sweet how
You just get funnier to me
In every way
But I never thought it would be
So

Sweet, sweet, sweet
The way you make me feel
Sweet, sweet, sweet
I can’t believe you’re real

It's so rare
To find someone
Who
Brings on the sunshine the way you do
You're so

Sweet, sweet, sweet
The way you make me feel
Sweet, sweet, sweet
I can’t believe you’re real

Here’s a story
Of lover’s finding
Union so deep
There is no unwinding
Tender threads exquisitely finding
Two lives together
One soul deep resounding

Love so strong whatever the weather
Even apart our souls are together
It’s you and me, babe, forever and ever
Even apart we’re dreaming together

One, one

Suddenly all time and space
Loses it’s meaning when I see your face
And I’m wrapped up in heaven’s grace
Feeling so safe in your sweet embrace

One, one, one, one ...

What kind of fool am I
Reaching into a world
I thought might have changed
Somehow re-arranged
Yet here I am
Stepping into the night
Like a keenly sharpened knife
Carving holes in my life
When I know
That

What is, just is
What is, just is
What is, just is
What is, just is

You see I’ve been somewhere
Not far away, but such a different space
Just to sit in one place…
And just when I thought
I could take no more
The bells started to ring
My soul to sing
And I know
That

What is, just is
What is, just is
What is, just is
What is, just is

Chasing the tail of understanding
As it runs through my mind

Chasing the tail of understanding
As it runs through my mind

When I know
That
Hmm, oh what is, just is
What is, just is
What is, just is
What is, just is
Just is

Sweetheart

The devil makes work
For idle hands to do
He can take these hands
If they're not touching you

And these lips of mine
Would rather turn to stone
Than kiss another now that you are gone

Sweetheart
I'm so alone
Sweetheart
When are you coming home

Sweetheart
I'm so alone
Sweetheart
When are you coming home

I know that love's
A many splendoured thing
If loses it's charm
Without the joy you bring
And happiness
Can be an empty term
But i've found heaven nestling in your arms

And now you've gone
Sweetheart I'm so alone
When are you coming home
Sweetheart I'm so alone
When are you coming home
When are you coming home

Sweetheart I'm so alone
When are you coming home
Sweetheart I'm so alone
When are you coming home ...

Sometimes I climb High above the city
To see all the lights shining there so pretty
And think of the millions of lives going on
At this present moment and those come and gone

And it make me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it make me float free
To feel how small my life must be

When ever I can I go down to the sea
And wonder at how many miles there must be
And all of the people on all of its shores
At this present moment and those gone before

And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it make me float free…

Sometimes I’m out in the bustling street
Dazz-led by all of the faces I see
It strikes me we get lost so soon after birth
But one smile can turn-over heaven and Earth

And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be

I cry

One day I met a precious soul
Who's words had touched my heart
His poetry resounded so
It tore my soul apart
But when I tried my thoughts to speak
Emotion made my mind so weak
And time stood still for years and years
I bathed him in my tears

I cried, I cried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again

Some people turn to pills and things
To help them through the day
To take them up or down or just
To ease the blues away
But me I really want to feel
The ups and downs of life so real
Happy or sad emotions reign
My tears flow just the same

I cried, I cried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again

I cried, I cried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again
Gonna turn so completely I leave no trace
Through so many out there would laugh in my face
For wearing emotion so close to the skin
Condemn me they might it to love's such a sin

I cried, I cried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again

I cried, I cried
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cried, I cried
Tears of love again and again

Darkness

I couldn't see darkness until now
Only light!
(though sometimes the shadows flickered across my view)
Light!

But darkness, this cold emptiness,
Somehow passed me by
Like a charmed thing I sailed
Slipping through its fingers

Blessed until now
Blessed until now

Only now, only now, only now

And I'm beyond recognition
Gone to some small space in silent stillness
Yet something beats anew

Somewhere

I'm waiting to be reborn

Only this time, only this time, only this time
Born in darkness
None can dim my light
None. Can. Dim. My. Light.

I'm so afraid
Something is broken now
Too much been said
To wipe it clean somehow

Without
This love
Where will I be

Without
This love
Where will I be

Darkness abounds
Heaviness weighs myheart
'Round and round and round
We've gonna have to be apart

Without
(gonna have to be)
This love
(stronger than I've ever been)
Where will I be
(Don't know how to be without you)

Without
This love
Where will I be

Without
(gonna have to be)
This love
(stronger than I've ever been)
Where will I be
(Don't know how to be without you)

Without
(gonna have to be)
This love
(stronger than I've ever been)
Where will I be
(Don't know how to be without you)

Sugar 5

Skipping time and life is all aglow
Everything much brighter than before
In my heart a fire burns oh so strong
And I know this time it's here to stay

Oh, my ears hear every sound
And now my eyes can see
I can leap and not look down
This earth has greater arms to hold me
This earth has greater arms to hold me

Breathing fresh I feel a new day dawn
Heaven's open precious life reborn
Knowing from much deeper than the mind
Nothing's two and everything is one

Oh, my ears hear every sound
And now my eyes can see
I can leap and not look down
This earth has greater arms to hold me
This earth has greater arms to hold me

My ears hear every sound
And now my eyes can see
Oh, I can leap and not look down
This earth has greater arms to hold me
This earth has greater arms to hold me
This earth has greater arms to hold me
This earth has greater arms to hold me

What's left to say with all that's come and gone
Words get in the way and anyway the devils got your tongue
And a storm brews inside and there's nowhere to hide
It's gonna blow your cover sky high
If you let this thing go, it's gonna burn, it's gonna burn
You're gonna take the whole world with you when you go

Oh oh oh what you gonna do
When the storm takes over
Oh oh oh what you gonna do
When the storm takes over

So here you are, demons screaming in your head
You try to shut them out but they just get louder instead
And nothing you do can seem to break through
This darkness smothering you
When it takes hold, your heart turns cold
The very soul seeps out of you

Oh oh oh what you gonna do
When the storm, the storm takes over
Can you hold this thing
Can you hold this thing
Oh oh oh

'Til the clouds clear

Lately I find myself
Amazed
At all around me
Everything I see

Like all of life's ablaze
With light
That suddenly I see
Only now I see

The wonder
The wonder
Of it all

Wonder everywhere
More than we know
Heaven's not up there
But on earth below

The wonder
The wonder
Of it all

Wonder everywhere
More than we know
Heaven's not up there
But on earth below

Don't know if God exists

But there's some magic out there
So much we're not aware
And sometimes suddenly
I hear (I hear)
A harmony sing
Of each and everything

The wonder
The wonder
Of it all

Wonder everywhere
More than we know
Heaven's not up there
But on earth below

The wonder
The wonder
Of it all

Wonder everywhere
More than we know
Heaven's not up there
But on earth below

Here you come again with the wind at your heels
The brightest thing I've seen for years and years

You are the sun
It's where you're from
And where I'm going to
The light you shine
Can always change
My grey skies into blue

You walk with the heat turned up and a fire in your eyes
Could feel you coming for miles and miles

You are the sun
It's where you're from
And where I'm going to
The light you shine
Can always change
My grey skies into blue

You are the sun
It's where you're from
And where I'm going to
The light you shine
Can always change
My grey skies into blue

You are the sun
It's where you're from
And where I'm going to
The light you shine
Can always change
My grey skies into blue

Are you feeling lost and lonely
You needn't be
Like you've lost all hope and your sanity
Oh you needn't be

If we only have one turn
In this life we have to learn

Carrying the world on your shoulders
You needn't be
Ever more as you get older
You needn't be, oh you needn't be

If we only have one turn
In this life we have to learn

We wish our lives away
Hoping for a better day
The future's miles away
And what is past is done and gone

If we only have one turn
In this life we have to learn

It's two in the morning
And I'm calling your name
Your voice on the line is
So far away
And my heart reaches out there
And finds you gone
You walk a path lonely
But you're never alone

And I'm begging you please
Please
Let me in
Please
Please
Let me in

I know there are times when
In ashes you lie
Each one has a shadow
We can't deny
But there in your darkness
Living your pain
Wanna wrap you in love, babe
Again and again

I'm begging you please
Please
Let me in
Please
Please
Let me in

Listen my tiney one
Gonna make it on your own
Look at what we have done to heal

Please
Please
Let me in
Please
Please
Let me in
I'm begging you
I'm begging you
I'm begging you
Please
Please
Please

The thing that makes
Us all but same
And melts the coldest heart
We try to run
And hide in vain
But without love
We'd fall apart

This world she knows
Us all so well
And wraps us in her arms
There's a one thing keeps
Us out of hell
For without love we'd come to harm

Lalalalalala...

Did you ever question what it is
We were put on this earth for
The only thing I know is this
That without love we'd be no more

Lalalalalala...

Open up and see
All fear and pain are gone
True possibility
We're all one yeah

Lalalalalala...

Open up and see
All fear and hatred are gone
True possibility
We're all one yeah

Open up and see
All fear and hatred are gone
True possibility
We're all one yeah

Hearts and flowers
A picture of what a love should be
But when it comes
He's deeper than
The darkest sea

Sometimes I'm so alone
Even in your arms
Like each of us
Keeps a little wall
Inside our hearts

Heads and flowers
Those people that
Make up valentines
Forget the flesh
And blood of love
Like yours and mine

Sometimes I'm so alone
Even in your arms
Like each of us
Keeps a little wall
Inside our hearts

Heads and flowers
A candy coated fantasy
But in your soul I've found the one
My soul can see

Sometimes I'm so alone
Even in your arms
Like each of us
Keeps a little wall
Inside our hearts

*** Thanx a lot to Adam for these lyrics ***

Another Language

Where are the words
To speak this thing in me
To tell the words
You’ll wanna hear

For there are songs
That can set us free
While hearts lie lost
For years and years

I'm gonna find a way to say it

Writer of songs
I am and so it seems
Words are the brush
With which I paint

But there's a place in us
That lifts a dream
The colours too deep to
Believe to change

I’m gonna find a way to say it
Sing it from the tallest tree

I'm waiting for
Another language
To speak the story of my soul

For words can be
A disadvantage
And break the
Hugeness of it all

I'm gonna find a way to say it
Sing it from the tallest tree

I'm gonna find a way to say it
Sing it from the tallest tree

Butterfly Effect

Come and shine your light upon me honey bee
And we'll take a trip to hell exponentially
And all the world will know
And all the world will know

There is something in your eyes I know is mine
And knowing such a thing goes up and down my spine
And all the world will know

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la

Quicker than the both of us it moves my mind
Like some elemental thing the universe desires

And all the world will know
The world will know
The world will know
The world will know

Build A Fire

Where is my heart
What took it away from me
Right from the start
Thought it was mine to keep

Where are the days
Where dreams came so easily
Thought they would stay
Thought they would always be

Gonna build a fire
Set it all aflame
Build it hight and higher
Find my way again

So now I know
The road isn't always straight
You die or you grow
Play games with the hand of fate

Gonna build a fire
Set it all aflame
Build it hight and higher
Find my way again, again, again, again

Gonna build a fire
Set it all aflame
Build it hight and higher
Find my way again, again, again, again...

Wise Enough

I had a dream that all of time was running dry
And life was like a comet falling from the sky
I woke so frightened in the dawning, oh, so clear
How precious is the time we have here

Are we not wise enough to give all we are
Surely we're bright enough to outshine the stars
But human kind gets so lost in finding its way
But we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day

And you might pray to God or say it's destiny
But I think we're just hiding all that we can be

Are we not wise enough to give all we are
Surely we're bright enough to outshine the stars
But human kind gets so lost in finding its way
We have a chance to make a difference til our dying day

All I'm really asking is, what are we doing here
Are we just killing time just living year to year
In this big world, no one else can play our part
Ain't it time to just wake up and give it all

Are we not wise enough to give all we are
Surely we're bright enough to outshine the stars
But human kind gets so lost in finding its way
We have a chance to make a difference til our dying day

We have a chance to make a difference till our dying day
We have a chance to make a difference till our dying day

Existential Itch

I'm longing for something, I don’t know what
Can't figure out what it is
Just like a hunger for what it's not
A scratch that you just can't itch

And it’s so good
And it's so no no no
It's so oh
And it's so no no no

Well my life is easy, your life is good
There's really nothing I need
There's something just almost within my grasp
It stays just beyond my reach

And it’s so right
And it's so no no no
It's so right
Yeah it's so no no no

Why does it taunt me the way it does
And bring out the ache in me
It just seems to haunt me in abstraction
Elusive as it might be

And it’s so right
Yeah it's so no no no
It's so right
Yeah it's so no no no...

Strong the Root

Comes a time when all is lost
And you’d give it up at any cost
All is dark and there’s no light, light
Burst your bubble, lose the fight

Where oh where, the sweet sweet spark
Every foot has left its mark
Ever empty, never full
All that’s shone is fade to dull

It takes a tree
To make a leaf
Strong the root
Underneath

Bless me brother, I’m right there
Hear me sister, if you care
Gonna dig me deep down here, here
Burn a fire start again

Takes a tree
To make a leaf
Strong the root
Underneath...

Rounds

Learning for the first time
When it might be the last
How'd I come to be so slow
To put things in the past

I guess we all, just find our way
But some over the peace (?)
Some would say, experience
Can never be replaced

It seems to me that as the years go by
My questions and the answers come to mind
And so it is that as the years go by
More questions and the answers tell me why

It seems to me that as the years go by
My questions and the answers come to mind
And so it is that as the years go by
More questions and the answers tell me why

Ever going, round and round
The circle game we’re in
The more I know, the less I know
I end where I begin

It seems to me that as the years go by
My questions and the answers come to mind
And so it is that as the years go by
More questions and the answers tell me why…

She Walks

Boy you had a dream that one day she would fly
High above the city streets
Now she's so much older gazing at the sky
Until lessons only life can teach

And she walks
For miles she walks
Yeah she walks
Yes she walks

And she walks
For miles she walks
Yeah she walks
Yes she walks

Each on every pavement rises up to find
Feet that know the way is long
Office blocks and pawn shops seep into her mind
Help to keep the memories going

Glorious still feels it
Though it's hiding in each step

And she walks
For miles she walks
Yeah she walks
Yes she walks

And she walks
For miles she walks
Yeah she walks
Yes she walks

And she walks
For miles she walks
Yeah she walks
Yes she walks
Yes she walks

Last Night The Sky

Last night the sky was greyer than the grave
Clouds so gloomy they put a fear in me
I drove a hundred miles and a hundred miles again
Still couldn't find my way

I lost it
Couldn't find it
I lost my way

Where are you waiting, love
Just around the bend
Calling me to come back home
Oh I’m so afraid this journey never ends
The black dark carries me so far away

I lost it
Couldn't find it
I lost my way

I lost it
Couldn't find it
I lost my way

Yeah I lost it
Couldn't find it
I lost my way

The Spectacle

One day something so magical fell from the sky
And all of the people they gathered to try

To catch it, all that they wanted
Forgetting they put it there

In their millions they travelled
And hope they might see
The closer they got
The more distant they'd be

To hold it, all that they wanted
Getting they pulled it there

And so into the darkness, they buried their lives
And gave it away to the stars and the sky

To catch it, all that they wanted
Forgetting they put it there

To hold it all that they wanted
Forgetting it was theirs

Discord

Sing a song of all that love can do
And I'll sing along
Sing it my whole life long
Tell a tale of all it’s done to you
And that won't make you strong when all the hope is gone

When it all goes wrong
It's such a different song
That you sing to yourself

Barely set the sunshine just for you
The rain never came, even on winter days
Now he says the dream was never true
He won't ??? name, says he'll never be the same

When it all goes wrong
It's such a different song
That you sing to yourself

When it all goes wrong
It's such a different song
That you sing to yourself

Back to Beginning

Damien Rice :
Grow up, child, come and face me
We’ve held on like orphans to a faded dream
We’re not what we were. We won’t fit in
We don’t have to fight what is not what it seems
So don’t think I’m going back to beginning

Lou Rhodes : Oh, my love
Damien Rice : Are you listening
Lou Rhodes : Been trying so hard to understand
Damien Rice : I’m not here
Lou Rhodes : What turns the heart of a man
Damien Rice : We’ve tried, and failed, again

Lou Rhodes :
Hold me tight, where did you go
The look in your eyes is scaring me so
I feel so lost and we are this way
The dreams of tomorrows or of yesterdays
If I could re-come back to beginning

Lou Rhodes : Oh, my love
Damien Rice : Are you listening
Lou Rhodes : I’m trying so hard to understand
Damien Rice : I’m not here
Lou Rhodes : What turns the heart of a man
Damien Rice : Oh we’ve tried, and failed
Lou Rhodes : No no no no, oh, my love
Damien Rice : You’re not listening
Lou Rhodes : Been trying so hard to understand
Damien Rice : I’m not here
Lou Rhodes : What turns the heart of a man
Damien Rice : We’ve tried and failed, again

In Binary

Hearing sounds
In open doors
Brings a heart-shaped smile
Many lives
Just tiny dots
On earth's great surface shine

It's all here just a moment
One breath and then it's gone
It's all here just a moment
A trick of space and time
It's all here just a moment
A trick of space and time

Telegraphs
Along the road
Feeding one to one
Sending thoughts
In binary
Till all the power's gone
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
It's all here just a moment
One breath and then it's gone
It's all here just a moment
A trick of space and time
It's all here just a moment
A trick of space and time

It's all here just a moment
One breath and then it's gone
It's all here just a moment
A trick of space and time

It's all here just a moment
One breath and then it's gone
It's all here just a moment
A trick of space and time

We Fall In Love

Face to face
One to one
Two hearts race
All is lost and won

Air to air
Light to light
All laid bare
Senses taking flight

It all begins
When stars align
And two paths meet
To re-define
We fall in love
We fall in love
We fall in love

It all begins
When stars align
And two paths meet
To re-define
We fall in love
We fall in love
We fall in love
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Flame to flame
Dust to dust
We became
Tenderness and trust

It all begins
When stars align
And two paths meet
To re-define
We fall in love
We fall in love
We fall in love

It all begins
When stars align
And two paths meet
To re-define
We fall in love
We fall in love
We fall in love

(We fall in love)

It all begins
We fall in love

As Satellites Go By

Every soul a brightness
And the darkest night
Every life a lightness
Space and time in flight

Being still in motion
Clouds go rushing by
A drop becomes an ocean
When the river's dry

Could it be we're stars' reflections
Tiny sparks in one great velvet sky
Perfect in our imperfection
As satellites go by

Firey constellations
Burning to the death
Tender our connections
In a single breath

Could it be we're stars' reflections
Tiny sparks in one great velvet sky
Perfect in our imperfection
As satellites go by
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
What are we anyway
But thousand year old carbon
Bodies from the dust
Of souls that went before us
Of souls that went before us
Of souls that went before us

What are we anyway
But thousand year old carbon
Bodies from the dust
Of souls that went before us

Could it be we're stars' reflections
Tiny sparks in one great velvet sky
Perfect in our imperfection
As satellites go by

Backspace Unwind

Future present past
Could this be the last
Time I ever see this place
'Cause something jumped and swayed
In all the lines we'd made
And my heart began to race

Backspace and unwind
All is redefined
So suddenly

Backspace and unwind
All is redefined
So suddenly

Touching into taste
Senses long erased
Static bristling in the air
Trembling into new
A different kind of view
Dancing, driving everywhere
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Backspace and unwind
All is redefined
So suddenly

Backspace and unwind
All is redefined
So suddenly

(So suddenly)

Backspace and unwind
All is redefined
So suddenly

Backspace and unwind
All is redefined
So suddenly

Shines Like This

Calling me now
Early in the winter
Like a daughter
Singing in the fall

Ever after
Running fast and barefoot
And a treetop
Dancing over all

It shines like this
As one giant kiss

You're a new day
And a roller coaster
Never felt like
Better circumstance
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Would you know it
Ever look and show it
In the music
When you start to dance

It shines like this
As one giant kiss

Come together
Everyone and no one
In November
Just before it snows

Then the blossom
Brings a scent of sweetness
Any weakness
Stronger than we know

It shines like this
As one giant kiss

What Makes Us Human

Throw me a line so I
Can feel the way
More than a sense of time
Could save the day
One soul to another
Is a chance
Of fighting the rule of circumstance

And out in the blue
The planets turn and swim
If they only knew
What makes us human

Man and a woman weave a spell
One half made in heaven, one in hell
Two sides of a coin that ever spin
Divided without conjoined within
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
And out in the blue
The planets turn and swim
If they only knew
What makes us human

And out in the blue
The planets turn and swim
If they only knew
What makes us human

If they only knew
What makes us human

Nobody Else

When you came along
Your face was the song
I'd forgotten to sing

And a blinding light
Made a thread so bright
To join us together, never ending

There's nobody else for me
No, no, nobody else will do
No, no, no, nobody else for me
No, no, nobody else but you

And falling so deep
I woke from a sleep
Of thousand tears

Your love was the call
To break down the walls
I'd built up for years and years

There's nobody else for me
No, no, nobody else will do
No, no, no, nobody else for me
No, no, nobody else but you
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Here I stand
In all that I am
Yours in every breath

There's nobody else for me
No, no, nobody else will do
No, no, no, nobody else for me
No, no, no, nobody else but you

There's nobody
No, no, no, no, nobody else for me
Nobody else but you
Nobody
No, no, no, no, nobody else for me
Nobody else but you

When you came along
Your face was the song
I'd forgotten to sing

Seven Sails

Ever had a month high
Seven sails across the sky
In a journey too deep
Of a million years sleep

This is the sweetest flow
Heart and heaven know
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
And when feet are on earth
What we've learnt since this birth
Sometimes we become weighed
In the tracks that we've laid

This the sweetest flow
Heart and heaven know

This the sweetest flow
Heart and heaven know

Doves & Ravens

She said
He'd never face the cold
Without her hand
There to hold
That was
Long ago
When the snow
Was whiter

And the wind calls her name
So she's not alone
Doves and ravens came
And they sing their song

She said
When it rains it pours
Hazy sunset
Distant shores
Oceans
Far away
Each new day
Awakened
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
And the wind calls her name
So she's not alone
Doves and ravens came
And they sing their song to the sun

Planets
Pass just one or twice
Just a moment's
Trick in time

And the wind calls her name
So she's not alone
Doves and ravens came
And they sing their song to the sun

Only Our Skin

Hold me gently
Hold me strong
And make it last forever
We have waited
Far too long
To be this way together

You my lover
You my friend
Finally fate has seen us
We could stay here
'Till the end
With only our skin between us
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Here my angel
Here my sweet
These arms were made to frame you
Heaven meant
For us to meet
And all my dreams became you

You my lover
You my friend
Finally fate has seen us
We could stay here
'Till the end
With only our skin between us

SH09 Is Back

Eyes on the road
Heart in my mouth
Silver and gold
My north and my south

And it's been oh oh oh oh so long
Since the you and the I made a one
There's a boom boom boom boom in my song
That's been hiding since you have been gone

Water on glass
Trembling so
Driving too fast
Miles go slow

And it's been oh oh oh oh so long
Since the you and the I made a one
There's a boom boom boom boom in my song
That's been hiding since you have been gone
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
And it's been oh oh oh oh so long
Since the you and the I made a one
There's a boom boom boom boom in my song
That's been hiding since you have been gone

And it's been oh oh oh oh so long
Since the you and the I made a one
There's a boom boom boom boom in my song
That's been hiding since you have been gone

The Caged Bird Sings

A man caught a tiny bird
Pretty as can be
Brought her home and caged her
So only he could see

He loved her and he praised her
And then he clipped her wings
Wondered at her beauty
As she began to sing

Release me
Set me free

But slowly he got frightened
She'd lost her precious glow
He prayed and he pondered
But couldn't let her go
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
She tried her best to tell him
In every way she knew
'Till heaven took her body
And off her spirit flew

Release me
Set me free
And I'll bring you more
Bring you more
Bring you more
Joy than you can see

Suddenly the sky
Was filled with flying birds
Her song was sing by all of them
And finally he heard

Release me
Set me free
Release me
Set me free

Phosphorous

So much to say, I'm lost for words
So much to say, I'm lost for words
Can a whisper still be heard?
Can a whisper still be heard?

One taste
One touch
Sparks fly
In flux
Ohh Phosphorous
One word
One flame
One life
Unframed
Ohh Phosphorous
Phosphorous

Before your eyes I disappear
Before your eyes I disappear
From far away I hold you near
From far away I hold you near

One taste
One touch
Sparks fly
In flux
Ohh Phosphorous
One word
One flame
One life
Unframed
Ohh Phosphorous
Phosphorous

Moonshine

Moonshine

Give me a hit
One little bit
Of that thing that moves me
Beyond the skin
Outside and in
Don't they call it love

And the moon shines differently out here
And the moon shines differently out here

Luna, Lunisa
Cool breeze touch skin and we shiver
We go deeper (deeper)
Soul sister, mellow mister (moonshine)
New moon, new chapter
Centered, we enter the ever after, ay ow

Sight into sense
Coincidence
Everything that could be
Iris to eye
Earth into sky
Don't they call it love

And the moon shines differently out here
And the moon shines differently out here

We melt down by the river
Kindling, tingling silhouettes circling round the fire
Soft souls sing acapella
Moonlight on the water
Bright lights, thunder
Look above and we wonder
The wanderer feels it
Stronger
The sun slumbers, we're under (under moonshine)

Luna, Lunisa
Cool breeze touch skin and we shiver
We go deeper (deeper)
Soul sister, mellow mister
New moon new chapter
Centered, we enter the ever after, ay ow

And the moon shines
And the moon shines

Armageddon Waits

Sweat on skin
A will too thin
Hell at heaven's door
Trembling an' ain't no lie
Worlds end within your eyes
Love's a holy war

Tongue-tied mouth
Reckless doubt
Every inch you know
Killing me in each breath
Song of the sweetest death
Still the fires grow

All for just one taste
Armageddon waits

Lost in this
Head-trip kiss
Burn us to the ground
Gone in the sweetest rush
Fear in the loudest hush
Murmuring the sound

All for just one taste
Armageddon waits
Oh yeah

Bulletproof

Off the hook, in overload
All the time
Got a feeling in a moment
Reasons rhyme
Come and take a little while to understand
How a little thing can get so
Out of hand

Bulletproof
Shake me
Bulletproof
Too strong to break me

Pictured this so many times
In my mind
Woken in the hottest dreams
Of darkest night
Look at me like that and say you don't want this
Try it babe
We got the static, take one good look at it
No mistake

Bulletproof
Shake me
Bulletproof
Too strong to break me

Too dangerous for miles
Slip through my fingers and smile
The Devil's in the detail
Just give it up for Gods sake
Burnin' up in your name
And I can taste
The love we make
Before we've even made it

'Cause this love is

Bulletproof
Shake me
Bulletproof
Too strong to break me

The Secret Of Letting Go

I breathe, you cut the chord
And so I gulp for air like never before
I stand, you move the chair
And so I run for miles before I sit down

The secret of letting go
Is forgetting to hold on
The secret of letting go
Is forgetting to hold on
The secret of letting go
Is forgetting to hold on
The secret of letting go
Is forgetting
To hold on

I speak, you press the mute
And so I sing much louder than I thought I could
I smile, you shed a tear
And so we laugh our hearts out til we fall apart

The secret of letting go
Is forgetting to hold on
The secret of letting go
Is forgetting to hold on
The secret of letting go
Is forgetting to hold on
The secret of letting go
Is forgetting

The secret of letting go
Is forgetting to hold on
The secret of letting go
Is forgetting to hold on
The secret of letting go
Is forgetting to hold on
The secret of letting go
Is forgetting
To hold on

Imperial Measures

The feather penny drops
Love doesn't count the cost
Imperial measures
Imperial measures

Beauty beyond a face
Clarity leaves no trace
Ephemeral pleasure
Ephemeral pleasure

What no words can say
Revelation day

Sand in the oyster shell
Ringing the wake-up bell
Indelible treasure
Indelible treasure

What no words can say
Revelation day

No words, no words, no words
They just get in the way
No words, no words, no words
Revelation day

The Other Shore

Light years away
A proverbial
Needle in the hay
An elusive
Future past
While in pursuit
Of the fruit
Yea, you squashed it underfoot
Expectation
Latent, lost

Stop one moment
All is golden
Stop one moment
All is golden

All things as one
We belong
Like a lyrics to a song
Nothing after or before
In lost and found
We resound
Like the air becomes the ground
Resting on the other shore

Stop one moment
All is golden
Stop one moment
All is golden

Illumina

He said, life's the roughest ocean
She said, then it's calm and blue
White water tries to pull you under
And love's the only craft to save you

Illumina

He said, each of us is broken
She said, well that's the greatest thing
In total, fragile imperfection
The dark is how we let the light in

Illumina

And he sees her glow
In reflection
She could never know
How bright

Illumina

The Silence In Between

Can you hear the silence in-between
Can you feel the love that's always been
Listen it sings in everything
Can you hear the silence in-between

Speaking with no sound
Treading on no ground
Love like an ocean
Resting in motion

Can you hear the silence in-between
Can you feel the love that's always been
Listen it sings in everything
Can you hear the silence in-between

Touching in no time
Seeing with no sign
Light bursts in waking
Dream forms in making

Can you hear the silence in-between
Can you feel the love that's always been
Listen it sings in everything
Can you hear the silence in-between

One Hand Clapping

Woken by a square of blue sky
All of life in my hips
I could see it when I had no eyes
Taste the salt on my lips

Can you hear the sound it makes
Even if I block your ears
Come let's sit here as long as it takes
I'm more than happy here

One hand clapping is the rhythm of the world
One hand clapping is all
One hand clapping is the rhythm of the world
One hand clapping is all

All is one and not two
All is one and not two
All is one and not two
All is one

One hand clapping is the rhythm of the world
One hand clapping is all
One hand clapping is the rhythm of the world
One hand clapping is all

They say that you're a run-around lover
You tell me it's not so
But if you put me down for another
I'll know - believe me I'll know
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can't help but see

So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes

You say that you're at home when you phone me
And how much you really care
Though you keep telling me that you're lonely
I'll know if someone is there
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can't help but see

So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes

One of these days you're gonna be crying
'Cause you're game I'm gonna play
And you'll find out without really trying
It's time that my kisses stray
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes will see me too

I could never disguise all my little white lies
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes

I could be wrong
Didn't you say
I couldn't do this
Well, who's sorry now

It's always the same
You could have been there
Could have done that but
So, who's to blame

I don't wanna live with a point that
You're so wrong
I don't wanna glow
But there's a time and place for everything
And my time is now

Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha

Something deep down inside me was trying to break through
People like you don't understand these things
Everyone likes to feel like they're on top of things
But that don't mean sitting on someone else's sights

Ha ha ha ha, oh
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha, oh oh
Ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha, oh
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha, oh oh
Ha ha ha ha
