Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

I love the way you speak
And I love the way you swear
I love the way you walk around with your head held in the air
I love the way your words move
And I love the way you drive
I love the way you're scared of people scared to be alive

Stay - stay you that's the toughest thing to do (x 2)

I love the way you dress upon a Saturday night
I love the way you never speak until it feels just right
I love the way you're spending all your money on yourself
I love the way you answer the phone and pretend you're somebody else

Stay - stay you that's the toughest thing to do

And now I don't want to talk about the things you overcame
By dragging up the past I'll put you through it all again
I've got the greatest admiration for the way that you got through it
Couldn't ask nobody else to do it better than you do it

Stay - stay you...

Well I tried so hard but it was not enough
I guessed wrong and I messed up
But I think I still believe

When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
Things get out your way
When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
You can face the day

Down by the river stands a man
Trouble on his mind running out of plans
But I think I still believe

You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be (x 2)

I'm so confused what should I do
I'll take a drive to somewhere I used to go

'cause you've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be

I need some time to clear out my mind
If visions are true then why couldn't I see you

You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be

chorus :
'Gonna give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that I'll knock it on the head
'Gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that I'll knock it on the head

You can be sure I'm trying my best
But I could stay in every night and still fail the test
I won't let on say everything's fine
The walls are closing in but I do not mind

chorus

Make the phone ring bring me good news
I live in deep freeze but I thaw out for you
God only knows what I'm gonna do now
I could get on but I don't know how

chorus

Can I sleep for slipping back
And every day that passes I want back
I want back now

Have I been fooled by wishes
The room turned misty blue
I'm fast asleep in kisses
From a dream come true
And I , I, I, only came for you

I don't want anything to happen
Can we just hold it here
Somebody go and fetch your father
I see it all so clear
Have I been taken over
I do not have a clue
I'm feeling less than sober
Are you that way too
And I, I, I, only came for you

Have I been fooled by wishes
I do not have a clue
I'm fast asleep in kisses
I only came for you

As I drove off one evening
For the last time I'm leaving
I had to pull over 'cause something was changing
With the windscreeners wiping
Off the rain that kept falling
I thought about nothing I thought about living

Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet
Just let me fall

Right now I'm dreaming
That I'm back at my place
Jangling my keys in my old front door
Turning round and talking pretending once more

Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny afterall
Now you've got me to my feet
Just let me fall
I've been holding on too tight always waiting on your call
Now we both know you're right
So let me fall

After a while I began my journey home
Dreading that moment when on my stairs I'd be all alone
Jangling my keys in my old front door
Turning round and talking pretending once more
But am I only doing what I expect myself to do
Sometimes it's hard to tell what is and isn't true
Or am I living out a lie I wrote for someone else
Or is this the me beneath it all, I just don't know anymore

Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet
Just let me fall
I've been holding on too tight always waiting on your call
Now we both know you're right
So let me fall

You said the words
I felt myself begin to fall
I saw the road ahead with no light at all
Baby baby baby
And I won't be home for tea
Don't suppose you want to see me

You said the words
I felt the feeling in my heart
I saw my world just fall apart
Baby baby baby
And I won't be home for tea
I don't suppose you want to see me

I know that I could never be
The first one to kiss you
'cause darling there's been many men before me
And I guess that I could never be
The first one to love you
'cause all of those days have been and gone
In every city street and every night and day
It's a world war just trying to get your own way
And if I had a wish I swear you'd hear me say

Could I be the last give in, say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream, the dream for you
Could I be would I do
Could I be the last surrender
could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Could I leave you all alone

Tougher than the rest of us
You're making out like it never was
You say you've got the whole thing thought thru
You'd rather walk away than fight
And rather do what's wrong than right
You paint yourself in the darkest shade of grey
In every city street and every night and day
It's a world war just trying to get your own way
If I had a wish I swear you'd hear me say

Oh when I come back tonight
After working all day long
The things that make it right
Are the things that make it wrong
So when we're forced apart
I'm only half a man
It's been a life of maybe's
Oh, but now I know I can

Our time has come girl
So long I've waited
Our time has come girl
We're gonna take it

Only now I notice things
That for years I just ain't seen
Was I walking in my sleep
Oh that's how it seemed to me
So don't ask me to explain
All the strange things that I do
And I'm luckier than God
'Cause he's got to wait for you

Our time has come girl
So long I've waited
Our time has come girl
We're gonna take it

I could say the things that make it happen
I'd use all the words that lovers use
I could give the looks that time has given
But this time I'll look away from you
Maybe it ain't right
Maybe I'll miss you
Maybe it ain't the easiest thing that I'm gonna do

You have made me feel
Sometimes pretty bad
I thought I was crazy but you're the one that's mad
Stand up and take a bow
For all that you have done
And if you'd tripped yourself you'd have to find someone else to blame

Maybe in the light of day you'll forgive me
See it now for what it really was
In another time it could all be different
Honey I was strong but you were not
Maybe it ain't right, maybe I'll miss you
Maybe it ain't the easiest thing that I'm gonna do

Maybe it ain't right, maybe I'll miss you
Maybe it ain't the easiest thing that I'm gonna do

I want you to take my hand
And show me how to make a stand
Lay me down and wave your wand
Make everything go away

In the darkness of a crowded room
I'm the mummy in a mummy's tomb
The singer who forgot the tune
And only you that make me mad
As I held you back against the wall
Two submissions or a fall
It's a miracle you came back at all
You still don't understand

Man on fire
Man on fire

If the weakness in a man collides
With something bad he feels inside
There's nothing much left to decide
But regrets to be retold
You could never work me out
I'm the walking shadow of a doubt
You should've known when I walked out
That we never stood a chance

Man on fire
Man on fire

So if you see the warning signs
Don't wait until the boss resigns
Get out girl don't stay in line
Time is on its side
happiness is a two way street
With sadness stalking on two feet
it's obvious we're going to meet
Let me introduce myself

Man on fire man on fire
Man on fire man on fire

You were the never ending
I never felt like I was pretending with you
How did you do it ? and was it the same for you
I kept your coat on all winter
Hoping you'd come back into view
I should've known better
But I still get the blues
And when Harlow Town beat Leicester City
Your teenage hair turned grey
And if you hear this record playing
Give us a ring today

Remember that schoolgirl Linda ( picture her face)
Stood outside your kitchen window (where is she now)
She threw in a house brick
With her number on
I'm too young to get nostalgic (but you still do)
But every time I think about it I
Find myself wishing we were still in touch
And when Lennon got the bullet
We took the week off school
So if you hear me sing this song
You'll know what to do

Was it a piece of magic, or something much more amazing than that
You know it's taken a long long while
For me to fully understand
So if you can hear me singing (you can be sure)
Just make my phone start ringing and (it'll be cool)
Don't be afraid old friend, 'cause it's only me
And when your Dad got sent away we both used to write
So if you hear me sing this song give us a ring tonight
I'm still living at the same address so come on round tonight
I never felt better than I did with you so give us a ring tonight
