To my delight my heart is on a string To my surprise I haven't changed a thing I just keep on with my normal life To my delight my heart starts to fly Now in daylight I feel you standing near Right by my side and whispering in my ear Words that ring so cool and clear and pierce my foggy mind To my delight I find that you are mine (To my delight I find that you are mine) Oh- oh - Keep your eyes on me Oh- oh - There's nothing else to see Keep your eyes one me I see you smiling we're going to have some fun Last time I felt this way well I was pretty young Turn up the music, I'll open up some wine To my delight I find that you are mine (To my delight I find that you are mine) Oh -oh - I've got my eye one you Oh- oh- There's no-one else in view I've got my eye on you When you came to me you knocked me off my feet Driving the wrong way up a one-way street Don't feel the need to look for the reason why To my delight my heart starts to fly To my delight my heart starts to fly.

I'm not cool I don't tie my laces Trip and fall right on my face Each time (time) And I've got no idea why I came here Who I am or who is to blame here Aye aye BRIDGE: Oh and we have this discussion Every single day It always comes to nothing Cos we've both got nothing to say CHORUS: When you say nothing to me, it means so much more Than all the words that used to roll off our tongue when we were young And didn't know the score It's the silence in your eyes that I can recognise So hold your silence, bite your tongue and bide your time. You took my soul you took my life And cut it with your pocket knife Ah-ah And everything you say rings true I only cry when I'm with you Ah-ah RPT BRIDGE AND CHORUS Oo-oh don't say a thing Oo-oh just start to sing Just keep rolling, just keep rolling, just keep rolling, just keep rolling on RPT CHORUS Hold your silence bite your tongue and bide your time x2

The Fall Out 03:45
Get down from the table You're too high to pick that fight You dance like you're not able To tell your wrong from your right Maybe it's alright, maybe it's fine Maybe it's something you do all the time, all the time You're stumbling around like you don't know how To stay on your feet, and I've seen more than one raised eyebrow now. CHORUS: Are you going all out tonight (how many days, how many nights?) Do whatever you can to make it right (how many days, how many nights?) Are you going all out tonight (how many days, how many nights?) Watch out for the fall out Maybe it's alright, maybe it's fine Maybe it's something you do all the time, all the time You've got new friends, I don't know who I see them circle round you and I can't get through You're looking much older it shows in your skin You're desperate to score but you're not going to win RPT CHORUS I can see you, but I can't work you out It's sad to see you do it to yourself RPT CHORUS......
4.
I like to get up in the morning When the coffee starts to flow I like to get up in the morning Knowing I've got somewhere to go I like to make my own decisions Don't like having someone to answer to But on the other hand It's not always easy knowing what to do CHORUS: And if i want to be lazy, I can be lazy If I want to be sad, I can be sad If I want to spend all day watching the sky go grey I can do that Do you ever feel the pressure of time Pressing so hard I barely blink sometimes And I've got another birthday card I feel I should do a bit more Than just muddle through I've got to get moving I've got such a lot to do RPT CHORUS SOLO RPT CHORUS If I want to spend all day watching the sky go grey I can do that If I want to spend all day watching the sky go grey I can do that.

Roof top rows and houses Falling down, falling out It's like I'm waiting for the call So I can bail out Your voice is filled with passion and anger It's eating up your health Your judgement's fuelled by rage I'm not listening to what you say I'm going to remove myself. Come back and see me when you've calmed down Come back and see me when you're calm I've had enough of you shouting out Come back and see me when you're calm Hold your fire x2 You're like a volcano waiting to erupt Where to go, where to go Sometimes your temper can be so abrupt Where to go, where to go You've been planning this attack for a while But it's coming out confused The tears are pouring down The knife is twisting round It's not the way I'd chose Come back and see me when you've calmed down Come back and see me when you're calm I've had enough of you shouting out Come back and see me when you're calm Hold your fire x 3 Come back and see me when you've calmed down Come back and see me when you're calm I've had enough of you shouting out Come back and see me when you're calm x2

Good friends come, good friends go There's just one thing I'd like to know and that's Who do you think you are? Light my fire, lift me up Pour some coffee in my cup oh Who do you think you are? You stood me up, you let me down You turned my smile into a frown oh Who do you think you are? You play your part then slipped away And left me shattered torn and frayed oh Who do you think you are? Who do you think you, who do you think you Who do you think you are? Broken signs, perfect crimes Take what's yours and leave what's mine Who do you think you are I never guessed, I never dreamed Someone like you could be so mean Who do you think you are Who do you think you, who do you think you Who do you think you are? You gotta give what you want, take what you need x2 Every morning, everyday You took my little heart away oh Who do you think you are When i asked for it back you said "There is no chance of that" Who do you think you are You gotta give what you want, take what you need x2 You kept me up all night, you never played it right Your dirty little violin baby You need to practice more, oh what you waiting for? Never go out walking on your own. Never go out walking, never go out walking, Never go out walking on your own. You made an effort, you made me sure It was you that I was living for Who do you think you are Good friends come and good friends go There's just one thing I'd like to know and that's Who do you think you are? Who do you think you, who do you think you Who do you think you are? x3

Did I didn't I hold my head up high Did I didn't I hold my head up high You gotta try Did I didn't i hold my head up high Ain't nothing but sunshine Did I didn't I do what I must do Did I didn't i do what I must do To make it through Did I didn't i do what I must do Ain't nothing but the truth Didn't I look you up, didn't I look you down Oh I can see you're busy just fooling around Didn't I look you up, didn't I look you down Oh take your time but don't take mine Did I didn't I think that it would last Did I didn't I think that it would last You had to ask Didn't I didn't i think that it would last Ain't nothing but the past Didn't I look you up, didn't i look you down Oh I can see you're busy just fooling around Didn't I look you up, didn't I look you down Oh take your time but don't take mine

Change It 04:04
You can change it Or you can keep it the same To change it Might cause you suffering and pain But that might be the thing to do rearrange it x3 I can rearrange things for you Let me get my boots Let me get my shoes on Let me book up a booze cruise baby for you Let me get my coat Let me get my hat It's all over And that is that Just keep on smiling as your world falls apart Just keep on smiling as your world falls apart Just keep on smiling if it rips your face in two and breaks your heart Just keep on smiling A-ha You can change it Oh you can change it You can change it Oh you can change it Just keep on smiling as your world falls apart Look at the dartboard And throw the dart Do you want this? Do you want this? Put you answers on the back of a post card You can change it Or you can keep it the same To change it Might cause you suffering and pain But that might be the thing to do rearrange it x3

She got hold of my balloon string She won't let me fly away I think that she wants me to stay. She got hold of my guitar She won't let me play I think that she wants me to stay. She's having trouble, she won't be told She doesn't want to get the police involved. Oh, she's having trouble, it's bought and sold Where is she? Her food is going cold. She got hold of my balloon string She won't let me fly away I think that she wants me to stay. She's so gutted to be back in the U.K I think that she wants me to stay. She's being tortured, but she won't talk. Will they ever let her walk? She got hold of my balloon string She won't let me fly away I think that she wants me to stay She's selling my body parts on ebay I think that she wants me to stay. She's a dangerous woman, she makes grown men cry She is a dangerous woman, you might as well say 'bye bye'. She got hold of my balloon string She won't let me fly away I think that she wants me to stay. She got hold of my guitar She won't let me play.....

Trying so hard to put my hands on the table Trying so hard to put my feet on the wheel Trying so hard but I don't know if I'm able Trying so hard but I don't know if I will Mm-hm Trying so hard to do things just like you told me Trying so hard to make the sky meet the sea Trying so hard and just a-hoping that you'll hold me Trying so hard and just a-hoping to be free And if I try hard enough she said I'm gonna fly Mm-hm Trying so hard to move up another level Trying so hard to find a reason and a rhyme Trying so hard not to dance with the devil Trying so hard to turn this water into wine And if I try hard enough she said I'n gonna fly You got the time I got the money You put these ideas in my head And now you're laughing like it's funny Now you're leaving me for dead You got the time but I got the feeling I won't be seeing you again You got the time but I got the feeling You've got no time to explain Trying so hard to put my heart on the table Trying so hard to put my soul on the wheel Trying so hard but I don't know if I'm able Trying so hard but I don't know if I will Try try try try try Trying so hard x2 And if I try hard enough she said I'm gonna fly.

It's like I never saw you coming It's like I never saw you leave Baby will you put some shoes on You'll get a chill right on your feet You can't sit still, you won't sit still You like to move around Baby will you move a little closer So we can find some common ground Tell me do you remember When we forgot the words I think we almost had the first line But then it only got worse We like to sing, we love to sing Like two little drunken things And if there's going to be a next time Do you think we should rehearse What's your jukebox secret What song do you like to play at the end of the day When it's just you and your drink And all the friends you like to think Will never go away. I think they're going to have a lock-in Keep everybody on their toes Baby keep the records spinning And we'll just see how it goes The night is young and the truth is here In-between the grooves And baby will you move a little closer Cos I like the way you move What's your jukebox secret What song do you like to play at the end of the day When it's just you and your drink And all the friends you like to think Will never go away What's your jukebox secret What would you like to do when it's just me and you What's your jukebox secret If you tell me I will keep it For exactly when you need it INSTRUMENTAL What's your jukebox secret What song do you like to play at the end of the day When it's just you and your drink And all the friends you like to think Will never go away What's your jukebox secret What would you like to do when it's just me and you What's your jukebox secret If you tell me I will keep it For exactly when you need it So what's your jukebox secret
