I’m making waves today,
I’m making waves.
Telling stories about yesterday.
I’m getting by today,
Just getting by.
Telling stories by the riverside.
And I don’t need your coins,
No I just need your ear.
Won’t you join me
While we’re standing here?
Buh bah buh bah!
There’s music on the streets of London.
Buh bah buh bah!
There’s music in my heart.
Buh bah buh bah!
There’s music on the streets of London.
That’s where we are, that’s where we are.
I’m making memories,
I’m making plans.
My future and my past are where I stand.
I’m making history,
I’m making news.
I’ll make the best of things and hope that soon.
I won’t need your coins,
No I’ll just need your ear.
Won’t you join me
While we’re standing here?
(singing)
Buh bah buh bah!
There’s music on the streets of London.
Buh bah buh bah!
There’s music in my heart.
Buh bah buh bah!
There’s music on the streets of London.
That’s where we are, that’s where we are.
Ooooh
Yeah I get lonely.
Ooooh
Yeah I get cold.
Ooooh
Yeah I get tired, oh so tired
But I’ll never sell my soul.
Ooooh
From Piccadilly
Ooooh
To Leicester Square
Oh I gave my heart to London
And you’ll always find me there.
There’s music on the streets of London.
There’s music in my heart.
There’s music on the streets of London.
That’s where we are, that’s where we are.
Buh bah buh bah!
There’s music on the streets of London.
Buh bah buh bah!
There’s music in my heart.
Buh bah buh bah!
There’s music on the streets of London.
That’s where we are, that’s where we are.

Share Your Love

Just when you think I've changed my mind
That's when I'll be at your door
And when I think you'll never call
You call me fifteen times or more
You're teaching me ballet, you keep on my toes
Teach me how the next step goes
Share your love with me
And we'll build it up with cards and memories
Share your love with me
And we'll share the blame when it all falls at our feet
You always say that in my sleep
I don't like sharing the covers
But it hurts like hell when I realise
You don't mind sharing with others
You're teaching me ballet, you keep on my toes
Teach me how the next step goes
Share your love with me
And we'll build it up with cards and memories
Share your love with me
And we'll share the blame when it all falls at our feet
We share all of the crazy but none of the pain
And when I'm acting crazy, that's when you're acting sane.
You're teaching me ballet, you keep on my toes
Teach me how the next step goes
Share your love with me
And we'll build it up with cards and memories
Share your love with me
And we'll share the blame when it all falls at our feet
Share your love with me
And we'll build it up with cards and memories
Share your love with me
And we'll share the blame when it all falls at our feet

Today is life and tomorrow never comes
That's what they say down in Matala
Hippies all around they're dancing in the dark
Living in the caves and loving in their hearts
Woah woah
Woah woah
Peace and love and kissing under the stars
Feels like the night is never ending, we're in paradise
Stars are glowing waves are sending messages to the sky
Come with me and I'll show you it's beauty
Sea smell all around and even paintings on the ground
Friendly people to help you out
Flowers in out hair and our hands to the sky
We don't even care if we live or die
Just want peace and love and kissing under the stars
Feels like the night is never ending, we're in paradise
Stars are glowing waves are sending messages to the sky
Come with me and I'll show you it's beauty
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
Just want peace and love and kissing under the stars
Feels like the night is never ending, we're in paradise
Stars are glowing waves are sending messages to the sky
Come with me and I'll show you it's beauty
Today is life and tomorrow never comes
That's what they say down in Matala

Tell Me I'm Right
03:10
|

|
You're stubborn just for fun
But you're not the only one
You love to disagree
Because you know how much it gets to me
I always lose my head;
Let everything turn red
But you're calm like midnight seas;
A wave without the breeze
I couldn't win if I tried
So I roll with you like the tide
Will you tell me I'm right?
This one time
Stop bringing me down, down, down
Will you be on my side?
This one time
Stop bringing me down, down, down
I wear dresses in the rain
Like summer never fades
But when I feel the cold
You love to say I told you so
I couldn't win if I tried
So I roll with you like the tide
Will you tell me I'm right?
This one time
Stop bringing me down, down, down
Will you be on my side?
This one time
Stop bringing me down, down, down
Is it so hard to lie?
Or turn a blind eye?
You always have to have the last word
Even if the last word is goodbye
Will you tell me I'm right?
This one time
Stop bringing me down, down, down
Will you be on my side?
This one time
Stop bringing me down, down, down
Will you tell me I'm right?
This one time
Stop bringing me down, down, down
Will you be on my side?
This one time
Stop bringing me down, down, down

They said it would rain today, but the sun shone
You said that you'd stay today, but you're long gone.
I said that I'd hold your hand, but I let go,
We say a lot of things when we don't know
That times, they change
And faces age.
Uh oh love is a strong word,
Where all the lines blurred,
I'll try to write you a song first.
Uh oh love is a strong word,
Love from your little Songbird,
Your little Songbird
They said it would rain today, and we're soaked through
Running for shelter in my new shoes.
Looking for comfort on a bad day,
Three words can make it ok.
When times, they change,
Places always seem to stay the same.
Uh oh love is a strong word,
Where all the lines blurred,
I'll try to write you a song first.
Uh oh love is a strong word,
Love from your little Songbird,
Your little Songbird
I wasn't brave enough to tell you how I feel.
I wrote it all down once and pretended it was real.
Just because you can see right through me when I sing.
I'm just a book of words and six strings.
Uh oh love is a strong word,
Where all the lines blurred,
I'll try to write you a song first.
Uh oh love is a strong word,
Love from your little Songbird,
Your little Songbird.

Kick the sheets to my ankles
Open windows and the door
You pick me up and you carry me outside
And place me gently on the floor
As we look up at the night sky
And we wonder who we are
It reminds me of this time that I went camping with my dad
And he taught me about stars
This is where we spend our time
Sharing stories, sharing crimes
And we lie awake in the summer
And we try not to change
We hide away in these plain white sheets
Until the night turns to day
There's this moment after 2am
When all the secrets that we keep
Seem clear and we're all ears
Because none of us can sleep
This is how we spend our time
Sharing stories, sharing crimes
And we lie awake in the summer
And we try not to change
We hide away in these plain white sheets
Until the night turns to day
I once was afraid of the dark
Now I'm afraid of the light
All the things that we fear in the day
They keep me up at night
This is how we spend our time
Sharing stories, sharing crimes
And we lie awake in the summer
And we try not to change
We hide away in these plain white sheets
Until the night turns to day
And we lie awake in the summer
And we try not to change
We hide away in these plain white sheets
Until the night turns to da

If She's An Angel

If she's an angel what am I?
If she's an angel what am I supposed to be?
If she's an angel what am I, how can I match her light?
If she's an angel what am I?
She looks pretty where'd you find her?
I see you laughing at every word she says
She's got a halo right behind her
I see you looking even when she's turned away
(when she's turned away)
I'm biting my tongue this time
I'm not wasting one more breath on you
If she's an angel what am I?
If she's an angel what am I supposed to be?
If she's an angel what am I, how can I match her light?
If she's an angel what am I?
She looks pretty with her hair down
When she's calling you pretend that you don't hear
Who can hide away from that sound?
I know you see her even when you close your eyes
(when you close your eyes)
I won't wait 'til you change your mind
Its too late now, you're out of time
If she's an angel what am I?
If she's an angel what am I supposed to be?
If she's an angel what am I, how can I match her light?
If she's an angel what am I?
I'll pack my wings and halo
If you ask me to stay I'll say no!
Because I will be somebody else's angel
I'll be somebody else's angel
I'll be somebody else's angel
I'll be somebody else's angel
If she's an angel what am I?
If she's an angel what am I supposed to be?
If she's an angel what am I, how can I match her light?
If she's an angel what am I?
Oh
If she's an angel what am I?
If she's an angel what am I supposed to be?
If she's an angel what am I, how can I match her light?
If she's an angel what am I?

I'll buy a blue camper van and travel all around the world
I'll buy a map and make plan
I'll save up all that I can earn and I will run away from here
Think off the lessons I will learn
Do I have to play by the rules?
Do I have to listen to you?
Do I have anything left to lose?
Do I have to play by the rules?
I'll kick my shoes off at the door and I'll walk barefoot down the street
I don't need them anymore
I always thought I would know which direction I should go
But now my life is moving way too slow
Do I have to play by the rules?
Do I have to listen to you?
Do I have anything left to lose?
Do I have to play by the rules?
My little voice says I have a choice
My little voice says I have a choice
My little voice says I have a choice
My little voice, my little voice is says
Do I have to play by the rules?
Do I have to listen to you?
Do I have anything left to lose?
Do I have to play by the rules?

Safe Harbour
04:05

Maybe I'll regret this in the morning
Maybe I will wish that I'd been wise
Maybe I'll regret this in the morning
But right now I can't see past your eyes
They say you only ever look back on what you didn't do
And I don't want to look back on never having you
Maybe I will wake up feeling foolish
But I know I won't remember in a year
Maybe I will wake up feeling foolish
The only thing that's stopping me is fear
They say you only ever look back on what you didn't do
And I don't want to look back on never having you
So throw away the bowlines
And all the doubt in your mind
Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour?
One day we will all look back and wonder
About the roads we met but didn't take
One day I know I'll look back and wonder
But you could be my favourite mistake
They say you only ever look back on what you didn't do
And I don't want to look back on never having you
So throw away the bowlines
And all the doubt in your mind
Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour?
I will be lost at sea
I will be lost at sea
I will be lost but free
So throw away the bowlines
And all the doubt in your mind
Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour?
So throw away the bowlines
And all the doubt in your mind
Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour?
Who needs a safe harbour, who needs a safe harbour?

You're that boy I thought I couldn't get
Turns out that I was right
You're that boy I wasn't gonna let
Never let you out 'my sight
But you don't treat me like a princess
And someone told me that you should
I guess I've learnt to settle for less
I've forgotten what was good for me
I'm too good for the likes of you
Where's my prince when I need him?
I've been told how much better I can do
So where's my prince when I need him?
You're that boy I thought I couldn't get
The one that wouldn't stick around
You're what boy I'm never gonna let
Bring me down, bring me down
I don't think I'm asking too much
No, I'm not asking much at all
You know that flowers are a nice touch?
Well I don't even get a phone call!
I'm too good for the likes of you
Where's my prince when I need him?
I've been told how much better I can do
So where's my prince when I need him?
I always thought he'd come along
And over oceans and seas we would sail
But this is not a fairy tale
This is an epic fairy fail
Where's my prince when I need him?
I'm too good for the likes of you
Where's my prince when I need him?
I've been told how much better I can do
So where's my prince when I need him?

Out to the hazel wood he went
My lesson learnt
Because a fire was in his head
And I got burned
That's what you get, that's what you get
For loving a wandering soul
I'll grow old with no regrets at all
When he cuts and peels my heart
And hooks it out to dry
I won't think twice
I never really thought that he'd try
That's what you get, that's what you get
For loving a wandering soul
I'll grow old with no regrets at all
If I could be the glimmering girl in his dreams
When he wakes up will he remember me?
When the white moths on their wing
All the lights go flickering out
He'll throw his berry in the stream
And catch another girl to cry about
That's what you get, that's what you get
For loving a wandering soul
I'll grow old with no regrets at all
If I could be the glimmering girl in his dreams
When he wakes up will he remember me?
If I thought that he would stay
I would call him by his name
But my voice just fades away
And there's only me to blame
When he's old with wondering
He'll come and find me where I've gone
Kiss my lips and take my hand
Until time and times are done
And that's all I get, that's all I get
For loving a wandering soul
I'll grow old with no regrets at all
