Having trouble sleeping
This constant compromise
Between thinking and breathing
Could it be I'm suffering
Because I'll never give in
Won't say that I'm falling in love
Please, please, tell me
I don't see myself
Couldn't I blame something else
No, don't say, yeah
Don't say I'm falling in love
Some kind of therapy is all I need
Please believe me
Some instant remedy
That can cure me completely
Could it be I'm suffering
Because I'll never give in
Won't say that I'm falling in love
Please, please, tell me
I don't see myself
Couldn't I blame something else
No, don't say, yeah
Please don't say I'm falling in love
'Cause I've been there before
And it's not enough
So nobody say it
Don't even say it
I've got my eyes shut
Oh, no, oh, no, not enough
Could it be I'm suffering
Because I'll never give in
Won't say that I'm falling in love
Please, please, tell me
I don't see myself
Couldn't I blame something else
No, don't say, yeah
Please don't say I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Couldn't I blame something else
Falling in love
Don't say, don't say
Don't say, don't say
Falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Don't say that I'm falling in love
Like A Star - Corinne Bailey Rae
Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
Oh, I do love you
Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind
You've got this look I can't describe
You make me feel like I'm alive
When everything else is a fade
Without a doubt you're on my side
Heaven has been away too long
Can't find the words to write this song
Oh, your love
Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind
I have come to understand
The way it is, it's not a secret anymore
'Cause we've been through that before
From tonight I know that you're the only one
I've been confused and in the dark, now I understand
I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
I wonder why it is
I won't let my guard down
For anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind
Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
Lying here with you reminds me of those days
Me and Candice waking up to a heat wave
Mother's in the garden inviting everyone
Ooh, we cut up our old jeans and go outside
Neighbour's always smiling with the baby on her knee
Rhea sat on the front step getting her hair combed out and greased
Music, the bass boomin' from the car parked in the street
Got that new song on repeat, oh oh
I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint a picture for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I just like to make you see that
I desire the simple things
Growing up we didn't have a lot of money
Used to spend my summer having parties on the drive
Plastic cups for rum and punch, eating chicken that's hot and sweet
All the women discussing what love is like, ooh you know the way I mean
And I'm just sitting watching hoping the boys will call for me
Got that new song on repeat, oh oh
I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint a picture for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'm just trying to make you see that
I desire the simple things
Maybe then now and then I would want somebody
Maybe then I used to dream of someone to love
Now you come and you arrive by me
I know I'm in love
I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint this picture for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I just like to make you see that
I desire the simple things
I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint a picture for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I just like to make you see that
I desire the simple things
Paris Nights / New York Mornings - Corinne Bailey Rae
Breakfast at Mickey’s, make-up still on
Elbows on the greasy table cloth
One more coffee and one last cigarette
Smiling at the rain cause you hold me close
My best dress on underneath this old coat
Walking down Bleecker no one is awake yet
Still, seven hours
Nothing but clouds
It’s enough to make your heart sigh
We should try
So pick me up and take me out
Oo we crash into love-filled nights
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Oo we race till we’re out of time
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
And now that you’ve taken me up so high
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
I could see the lights from the restaurant
I couldn’t quite perfect that nonchalance
Paris and champagne with one brown sugar cube
And we danced while the band played “She’s not there”
Kissed me in the rain by the Rue Voltaire
It’s a perfectly good way to ruin those silk shoes
J'traînais les pieds et des casseroles
Je n'aimais pas beaucoup l'école
J'traînais les pieds et mes guiboles abîmées
J'explorais mon quartier
J'traînais des pieds dans mon café
Les vieux à la belotte braillaient
Papi, mamie, tonton André et toutes ses pépées
A mes p'tits soins, à m'pouponner
Ecorché mon visage
Ecorchés mes genoux
Ecorché mon p'tit cœur tout mou
Bousillées mes godasses
Bousillé sur ma joue
Bousillées les miettes de nous
La fumée du bœuf bourguignon,
Toute la famille, tête dans l'guidon,
Du temps où ont pouvaient faire les cons.
Les pensionnaires, les habitués,
les gens d'passage surtout l'été
Joyeux bordel dans mon café
Ecorché mon visage
Ecorchés mes genoux
Ecorché mon p'tit cœur tout mou
Balayée la terrasse
Envolé le bout d'chou
Envolées les miettes de nous
Je traîne les pieds, j'traîne mes casseroles
J'n'aime toujours pas l'école
Ecorché mon visage
Ecorchés mes genoux
Ecorché mon p'tit cœur tout mou
Bousillées mes godasses
Bousillé sur ma joue
Bousillées les miettes de nous

So there I was Sitting on the top of the world In a coin laundry
Well I could have been royalty Sitting in the palace like a queen
Do you have a dollar? Do you have a dollar for me?
Have you got a house on a hill And a bed for three?
do you have a story Do you have a story for me?
Do you know the one where they all live hapilly
Do you, do you
Do you, do you
So now I'm here Sitting on the edge throwing these stones to the long
lost friends
I could have been a common thief Sitting in the dirt quite happily
Do you have a dollar? Do you have a dollar for me?
Maybe just an hour or two and a pot of tea
Do you have a memory Do you have a memory for me?
Tell me bout the days when you were seventeen
Do you, do you
Do you, do you
oh~
Do you have a dollar? Do you have a dollar for me?
Maybe just a little old house and a lemon tree
Do You have a reason, do you have a reason for me?
Tell me about the girl you met in the coin laundry
Oh Can I be the girl that you met
Can I be the girl that you met, Can I be the girl that you met in the
coin laundry?
Oh can I be the girl that you met?
Can I be the girl that you met Can I be the girl that you met in the
coin laundry?
Neopolitan Dreams-Lisa Mitchell
You go and I’ll be okay
I can dream the rest away
It’s just a little touch of fate
It’ll be okay
I turn my head up to the sky
Focus on one thought at a time
I do not let the little thieves
Under my tightly buttoned sleeves
It couldn’t be a longer time
I feel like I am walking blind
I have no idle time
There are no legible signs
There are no legible signs
I like the way that you walk
I like the way that you talk
It’s hard to recreate such an individual gait
You wait you turn in the queue
You say your sorrys and thank yous
I don’t think you’re ever a hundred percent in the room
You’re not in the room
No, you’re not in the room
Deepest of the dark nights
Here lies the highest of highs
Neopolitan dreams
Stretching out to the sea
You wait your turn queue
You say your sorrys and thank yous
I don’t think you’re ever a hundred percent in the room
You’re not in the room
No, you’re not in the room
I have to spit the devil
Who is lying trough my throat
I have to spit the devil
He drinks my brain with a straw
He smokes my vocal cords
I have a volcano taste under my tongue
And I also set fire in the hair
Of an old lady standing on the subway
She looks like a fire dog and I love it !
I have a tear of poison under my tongue
Flowing under my lashes, on my cheek
It burns like an acid made with my jealousy
She looks like a fire dog, and I love it !
I have to spit the devil
'Cause it devours my confidence in me
He drinks it with a straw
He smokes and burn it quiet
Lying through my throat
My devil, my devil, my devil, my devil
I have to spit the devil, I have to spit the devil, I have to spit the devil
My devil, my devil, my devil, my devil.
grabs onto her daddy's hand,
he says "baby girl what's wrong with you?"
she says "please don't make me go back there again"
She said "I wish there was some way
to make them stop it"
so he drives down to
that principle's ofice and says
"I didn't bring her up
so they could cut her down
I didn't bring her here
so they could shut her out
I live my whole damn life
to see that little girl's smile
so why are tears pouring down
that sweet face?
she wasn't brought up that way"
Emily's home late again
he sees that boy drive away
oh, but something different this time,
she doesn't have too much to say
she said "he tried but
there's just some things I won't do"
and through the tears
she said "I couldn't do that to you"
and he said
"I didn't bring you up
so he could wear
you down
take that innocent heart
and turn it inside out
I live my whole damn life
to see my little girl's smile
so don't let nobody take that away,
you weren't brought up that way"
The phone rings on a rainy night
says "it's Officer Tate"
he said "sir, there's been an accident,
you better come down here right away,
a drunken driver missed an overpass,
and Emily, she's fading fast"
he says "God,I didn't bring her up
to watch them lay her down
nearly killed me the day
they put her
momma in the ground
only thing that kept me alive,
was that little girl's smile
so please don't take that away,
I won't be easy taking her today,
she wasn't brought up that way"
He stands over the hospital bed
Emily opens her eyes
Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then their done
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud, those words
They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone
And I know an angel was sent
Just from me and now know I'm meant
To be where I am and I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most
What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then their done
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud, those words
They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone
Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
I'm forever keeping my angel close
Le vent fera craquer les branches
La brume viendra dans sa robe blanche
Y aura des feuilles partout Couchées sur les cailloux
Octobre tiendra sa revanche
Le soleil sortira à peine
Nos corps se cacheront sous des bouts de laine
Perdue dans tes foulards Tu croiseras le soir
Octobre endormi aux fontaines
Il y aura certainement Sur les tables en fer blanc
Quelques vases vides et qui tra?nent
Et des nuages pris aux antennes
Je t‘offrirai des fleurs Et des nappes en couleurs
Pour ne pas qu‘Octobre nous prenne
On ira tout en haut des collines
Regarder tout ce qu‘Octobre illumine
Mes mains sur tes cheveux
Des écharpes pour deux
Devant le monde qui s‘incline
Certainement appuyés sur des bancs
Il y aura quelques hommes qui se souviennent
Et des nuages pris aux antennes
Je t‘offrirai des fleurs Et des nappes en couleurs
Pour ne pas qu‘Octobre nous prenne
Et sans doute on verra appara?tre
Quelques dessins sur la buée des fenêtres
Vous, vous jouerez dehors
Comme les enfants du nord
Octobre restera peut-être.
Vous, vous jouerez dehors
Comme les enfants du nord
Octobre restera peut-être.
