Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men

And they say she's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen but lately
Her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us

‘Cos we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't wanna go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly

Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone

And they say she's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen but lately
Her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us

‘Cos we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple of grams
But she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
And sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly

An angel will die
Covered in white, closed eyed
And hoping for a better life
This time will fade out tonight
Straight down the line

And they say she's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen but lately
Her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us

And we're all under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in the pipe fly to the Motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly, fly, fly
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
For angels to die.

I wanna be drunk when I wake up
On the right side of the wrong bed
And never an excuse I made up
Tell you the truth I what didn't kill me
It never made me stronger at all
Love will scar your make up
Lips sticks to me, so now I maybe lean back there
I'm sat here wishing I was sober
I know I'll never hold you like I used to

But a house gets cold when you cut the heating
Without you to hold I'll be freezing
Can't rely on my heart to beat in
‘Cos you take parts of it every evening
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing
Replace with phrases like ‘when you leaving me?'

Should I? Should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again, I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love

I wanna hold your heart in both hands
Not watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can
And I got no plans for the weekend, so should we speak then?
Keep it between friends
Though I know you'll never love me like you used to

There maybe other people like us
Who see the flicker of a clipper when they light up
Flames just create us but burns don't heal like before
And you don't hold me anymore

On cold days cold plays out like the band's name
I know I can't heal things with a handshake
You know I can change, as I began saying
You cut me wide open like landscape
Open bottles of beer but never champagne
To applaud you with the sound that my hands make

Should I? Should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again, I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love

All by myself, I'm here again
All by myself, you know I'll never change
All by myself
All by myself

I'm just drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love

I found your hair band on my bedroom floor
The only evidence that you've been here before
And I don't get waves of missing you anymore
They're more like tsunami tides in my eyes
Never getting dry, so I get high, smoke away the days never sleep with the light on
Weeks pass in the blink of an eye and I'm still drunk at the end of the night
I don't drink like everybody else I do it to forget things about myself
Stumble and fall with the head spin I got, my mind's with you but my heart's just not
So am I close to you anymore if it's over?
And there's no chance that we'll work it out
That's why you and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied
You and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied

Everybody said we'd be together forever but I know that
I never wanna settle down, come around, break up the love like Lego now
Never wanna turn into another like you
Sleep with my thoughts and I dance with my views
Everything's great, not everything's sure but you live in your halls and I live in a tour bus
Now I'm in position to be another stalker like everything I say seems to all sound awkward

Like our last kiss it was perfect but we were nervous on the surface
And I'm always saying everyday that it was worth it, pain is only relevant if it still hurts
I forget like an elephant or we can use a sedative and go back to the day we fell in love on first kiss

So am I close to you anymore if it's over?
And there's no chance that we'll work it out
You and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied
You and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied

Because if I was gonna go somewhere, I'd be there by now
And maybe I can let myself down
And I'm thinking I'm unaware, I keep my feet on the ground
And keep looking around to make sure I'm not the only one to feel low

Because if you want, I'll take you in my arms and keep you sheltered
From all that I've done wrong
And I know you'll say that I'm the only one
But I know God made another one of me to love you better than I ever will

‘Cos you and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied
You and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied

My mind is a warrior, my heart is a foreigner
My eyes are the colour of red like a sunset
I'll never keep it bottled up and left to the hands of the coroner
Be a true heart not a follower, we're not done yet
And I see it in your movements tonight if we should ever do this right
I'm never gonna let you down, I'll never let you down
And I'm keeping on the down low and I'll keep you around so I'll know
That I'll never let you down, I'll never let you down

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down, now
You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I never felt this way
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down, now

My eyes are a river filler, this drink is a liver killer
My chest is a pillow for your weary head to lay to rest again
Your body is my ballpoint pen and your mind is my new best friend
Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again, now
And I see it in your movements tonight if we should ever do this right
I'm never gonna let you down, I'll never let you down
I'll keep it on the down low and I'll keep you around so I'll know
That I'll never let you down, I'll never let you down

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down
You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I never felt this way
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down

Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, and I'll never let you down
Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, I'll never let you down
Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, I'll never let you down
Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, and I'll never let you down

Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, and I'll never let you down
Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, I'll never let you down
Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, I'll never let you down
Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, and I'll never let you down

I should ink my skin with your name
And take my passport out again and just replace it
See I could do without a tan on my left hand where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
And I should run you a hot bath and fill it up with bubbles
‘Cos maybe you're loveable and maybe you're my snowflake
And your eyes turn from green to grey in the winter I'll hold you in a cold place
And you should never cut your hair ‘cos I love the way you flick it off your shoulder
And you will never know just how beautiful you are to me
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up

And would you ever feel guilty if you did the same to me?
Could you make me a cup a tea, to open my eyes in the right way?
And I know you love Shrek ‘cos we've watched it twelve times
But maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale too
And if your DVD breaks today, you shoulda got a VCR
Because I've never owned a Blu-ay, true say
And now I've always been shit at computer games because your brother always beats me,

And if I lost, I'd go across and chuck all the controllers at the TV
And then you'd laugh at me and be asking me if I'm gonna be home next week
And then you lie with me ‘til I fall asleep and flutter eyelash on my cheek between the sheets

And you will never know just how beautiful you are to me
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up

And I think you hate the smell of smoke, you always try and get me to stop
You drink as much as me, and I get drunk a lot
So I take you to the beach and walk along the sand
And I'll make you a heart pendant with a pebble held in my hand
And I'll carve it like a necklace so the heart falls where your chest is
And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach and it falls just where it needs to be
And rests peacefully so you just need to breathe to feel my heart against yours now

Against yours now
‘Cos maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
Or maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
Maybe I fell in love when you woke me up

You're just a small bump unborn in four months you're brought to life
You might be left with my hair but you'll have your mother's eyes
I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can
But for now you're a scan of my unmade plans
A small bump in four months you brought to life

And I'll whisper quietly and give you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright

You're just a small bump, I know you'll grow into your skin
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin
Fingernails the size of a half grain of rice
And eyelids closed to be soon open wide
A small bump, in four months you'll open your eyes

And I'll hold you tightly and tell you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright

Then you can lie with me, with your tiny feet
When you're half asleep I'll leave you be
Right in front of me, for a couple weeks
So I can keep you safe

‘Cos you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright

‘Cos you were just a small bump unborn for four months, then torn from life
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why.

This is the start of something beautiful
This is the start of something new
You are the one that will make me lose it all
You are the start of something new

And I'll throw it all away
And watch you fall into my arms again
And I'll throw it all away
And watch you fall, now

You are the earth that I will stand upon
You are the words that I will sing

And I've thrown it all away
And watched you fall into his arms again
And I've thrown it all away
And watched you fall, now
And take me back, take me home
Watch me fall down to earth
Take me back

For this is the start of something beautiful
You are the start of something new

This city never sleeps, I hear the people walk by when it's late
Sirens bleed through my windowsill, I can't close my eyes
Don't control what I'm into
This tower is alive, the lights that blind keep me awake
Hood up and lace untied, sleep fills my mind
Can't control what I'm into

London calls me a stranger, a traveller
This is now my home, my home

I'm burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't up to you
If the city never sleeps then that makes two

The pavement is my friend, it will take me where I need to go
I find it trips me up and puts me down
This is not what I'm used to
And the shop across the road fulfils my needs and gives me company
When I need it
Voices speak through my walls, I don't think I'm gonna make it
Past tomorrow

London calls me a stranger, a traveller
This is now my home, my home

I'm burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't up to you
If the city never sleeps then that makes two

The pavement is my friend, it will take me where I need to go
I find it trips me up and puts me down
This is not what I'm used to
And the shop across the road fulfils my needs and gives me company
When I need it
Voices speak through my walls, I don't think I'm gonna make it
Past tomorrow

London calls me a stranger, a traveller
This is now my home, my home

I'm burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't up to you
If the city never sleeps then that makes two

And my lungs hurt and my ears bled
With the sound of the city life echoed in my head
Do I need this to keep me alive?
The traffic stops and starts but I need to move along

London calls me a stranger
This is not my home, home
I'm burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't up to you
If the city never sleeps then that makes two

I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a Lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings but there's one thing on my mind
It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now, now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers and colour you in
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
Now I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down, I think the braces are breaking and it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind,
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I will love you better now

Now I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound
Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd
That's you now, hello, ciao, seems that life is great now
See me lose focus as I sing to you loud
I can't, no, I won't hush, I say the words that make you blush
I'm gonna sing this now
See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is
I'm like glue, I stick to other artists
I'm not you, now that would be disastrous
Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me
I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy
I won't stay put, give me the chance to be free
Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me

‘Cos you need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
You need me.

I sing, I write my own tune and I write my own verse, hell
Don't need another wordsmith to make the tune sell
Call yourself a singer-writer, you're just bluffing
Name's on the credits and you didn't write nothing
I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool
I will blast and I didn't go to BRIT School
I came fast with the way I act, right
I can't last, if I'm smoking on a crack pipe
And I won't be a product of my genre
My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
Always read the stories that you hear in Wikipedia
And musically I'm demonstrating
When I perform live feels like I am meditating
Times at The Enterprise when some fella filmed me
Young singer-writer like a Gabriella Cilmi

‘Cos you need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
You need me.

‘Cos with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right, I won't stop till my name is in lights
At stadium heights with Damien Rice, on red carpets, now I'm on Arabian nights
Because I'm young I know my brother's gonna give me advice
Long nighter, short height and I'm going hyper
Never be anything but a singer-songwriter
Yeah, the game's over but now I'm on a new level
Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
People think that I'm bound to blow up, I've done around about a thousand shows
But I haven't got a house plus I live on the couch
So you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out
From day one, I've been prepared, with VO5 wax for my ginger hair
So now I'm back to the sofa giving a dose of what the future holds
‘Cos it's another day, plus I keep my last name forever, keep this genre pretty basic
Gonna be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it
And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
Into another rapper's shoes using new laces
Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the papers
Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for majors
Nationwide tour with Just Jack, still had to get the bus back
Clean-cut kid without a razor for the moustache
I hit back when the pen hurts me, I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
I'm still the same as a year ago but more people hear me though
According to the MySpace and YouTube videos
I'm always doing shows if I'm not I'm in the studio
Truly broke, never growing up call me Rufio
Melody music maker, reading all the papers
They say I'm up-and-coming like I'm fucking in an elevator

‘Cos you need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
You need me, man, I don't need you.

Settle down with me, cover me up, cuddle me in
Lie down with me, yeah, and hold me in your arms
And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes but they don't know me yet
And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

Kiss me like you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love, falling in love, falling in love

Settle down with me and I'll be your safety, you'll be my lady
I was made to keep your body warm but I'm cold as the wind blows
So hold me in your arms
My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes but they don't know me yet
And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

Kiss me like you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love, falling in love, falling in love

Yeah I've been feeling everything from hate to love from love to lust from lust to truth I guess that's how I know you
So hold you close to help you give it up

So kiss me like you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
Kiss me like you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved, you wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love, falling in love, falling in love

Give me love like her
‘Cos lately I've been waking up alone
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let them go
And that I'll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call ya
After my blood turns into alcohol
No I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me, or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
And all I want is the taste that your lips allow
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my
Give me love

Give me love like never before
‘Cos lately I've been craving more
And it's been a while but I still feel the same
Maybe I should let you go
You know I'll fight my corner
And that tonight I'll call ya
After my blood is drowning in alcohol
No I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me, or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
And all I want is the taste that your lips allow
My my, my my, oh give me love
Give a little time to me, or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
And all I want is the taste that your lips allow
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (Love me, love me, love me)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (Give me love)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (Give me love)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (Give me love, love me)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (Give me love)

My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love
My my, my my, oh give me love
