Banana Skin Shoes lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
Press play
Not stop
Or pause
And not
Fast forward
Or rewind
It's time to break free
From this plaster cast
And leave your past behind
Press stop
It's time to kick the habit
This is if you don't wanna become an addict
It's time to supersize your soul
Feels like we've died and gone to heaven
Turned life up to eleven
It's time to realise your goal
Super super supersize your soul
Take a walk across town
Whistling the blues
Time to stop wearing those banana skin shoes
Walk across town
Whistling the blues
Time to stop wearing those banana skin shoes
(It's a mona
It's a mona
Nah, it's a mona
It's a mona
It's a mona
Nah, it's a mona)
Take a walk across town
Whistling the blues
Time to stop wearing those banana skin shoes
Banana skin shoes
Banana skin shoes
I keep slipping on
I keep slipping on
I keep slipping on
Banana skin shoes
Is This A Dream? lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
Welcome to the tragedy
It's not the way it's supposed to be, I know
And now I'm seeing things
Saw something moving under your skin
You can talk to animals
Doolittle or do nothing at all
I'm a melted snowman
Tried to crack the codes, they all came back wrong
It just took too long
You find it comical
Not in a way that makes you laugh
I'm not a killer
You could bring out the killer in me
Take a snapshot
What's going on in this world, will only get you down
Find the meaning
Is this a dream?
It's like a disease
That we all catch in our sleep
Invisible dream
I need electronic eyeballs
Just to see past the truth
And give me some love
Your heart starts beating to the sound of your dreams
I need some love
And a hot air balloon, so we can make our escape
I'm running out of caviar
Had to sell the super car, oh no
Thanks Mr Andrews
For giving me the big red book of my life
In this search for freedom
There's always somebody trying to pin you to the wall
Today's a good day
Found a letter from Bono, not seen in years
So just dry those tears
Is this a dream?
It's like a disease
That we all catch in our sleep
Am I in your dream?
We gotta stop waiting for the apples to fall
And give me some love
I need electronic eyeballs
Just to see past the truth
And give me some blood
Your heart starts beating to the sound of your dreams
Gather up all your tear drops
Gather up all your tear drops
Gather up all your tear drops
Pour them on me...
Is this a dream?
Like a chronic disease
That we all catch in our sleep
And if god is real
We gotta just stop blaming him when things go wrong
And show me some love
When the whole thing pops
You'll be the sole survivor
I need your blood
And a hot air balloon, to make my arrival...

I Just Wanna Wish You Happiness lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
Well, the truth hurts
The cards left on the table
That we set
And placed our bets
And the time spent
Remembering the things
We should forget
And not regret
But I just wanna wish you happiness
For the time that I was with you
And the rest
Is it true that
It's better to have loved and lost
Than not
Have loved at all
And we aimed high
So at the risk of falling short
We'd still stand tall
Right through it all
But I just wanna wish you happiness
For the time that I was with you
And the rest
At first the wall is much higher than it seemed
And the roots by now
Are much deeper than the seeds
But we could grow again
If we just tell ourselves
We've been through this before
Tell me is it strange that
I don't remember falling out of love
Yet the bolt's undone
And the storm came
Arrived without a warning
Unannounced, like a distant sound
Well, I just wanna wish you happiness
For the time that I was with you
And the rest
And the times that I imagined
Losing you
Be careful what you wish for
Cos what you wish for
Just might come true
I'm Not Sure What It Is lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
I'm tired of climbing ladders
Just to slip down all the snakes
Enough of swings and roundabouts
Just to make the same mistakes
My patterns of behaviour
Are beginning to wear thin
Can see the destination
But never sure where to begin
Sometimes I'm not sure just what it is
There are days where I remember to exist
I'm so blessed to have you by my side
The true test is how you feel when you're alone
The best part is that the future's unknown
And the next part of our story's untold
I'll know what I want
When I see what it is
At least we tried something
Even if nothing comes of it
Seems like the real things
Have all turned out to be fake
Spent half my life sleeping
And the second half awake
Sometimes I'm not sure just what it is
There are days where I remember to exist
I'm so blessed to have you by my side
The true test is how you feel when you're alone
The best part is that the future's unknown
And the next part of our story's untold
Put your head in my hands
Let this feeling move on
Something that was there
That is afterwards gone
Take good care of this child
Who lives on in my soul
That half-smile in the mirror
Placed with mine becomes whole
Sometimes I'm not sure just what it is
There are days where I remember to exist
I'm so blessed to have you by my side
The true test is how you feel when you're alone
The best part is that the future's unknown
And the next part of our story's untold
Sometimes I'm not sure just what it is
There are days where I remember to exist
I'm so blessed to have you by my side
The true test is how you feel when you're alone
The best part is that the future's unknown
And the next part of our story's untold
Tony Wilson Said lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
Shout out to the city
Like Tony Wilson said
Wrong number Chicago and New York
Dial Manchester instead
We're driving through Rusholme
Moss side and Whalley Range
Get caught on the wrong side of the law in this town
They'll treat you in Strangeways
He symbolised and crystallised freedom
A King with no crown
He left more than a million footprints
All over this town
What of Factory Records?
With their contracts signed in blood
And halfway to London he turned his car round
Somehow just knew he would
Outside The Apollo
The jewel of Ardwick Green
Stone's throw from the Boardwalk
The Hacienda, on the corner of Whitworth Street
He symbolised and crystallised freedom
A King with no crown
He left more than a million footprints
All over this town
Some might call it a treason
A King with no crown
And he turned to face
His troubles down
To fight for our freedom
Turned his Jaguar round
And the wheels kept turning
The wheels kept turning
To the Cottonopolis
To the Cottonopolis
Shout out to the city
Like Tony Wilson said
Wrong number Chicago and New York
Dial Manchester instead
Shout out Factory Records
With their contracts signed in blood
It's true that not only do the good die young
But only the young die good
He symbolised and crystallised freedom
A King with no crown
He left more than a million footprints
All over this town
He symbolised and crystallised freedom
A King with no crown
He left more than a million footprints
All over this town
You And Me Against The World lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
When the world around you
Makes you weary
Call on me
You've always been a friend
I want you near me
Always
I don't even know how you feel
You're so far away
Holiday
Is never gonna come
I want to be with you
In the sun
In the sun
All the love you lost
Could last forever
Like memories
And the moon is lost
And looking lonely
And far away
I want to know how you feel
I'm so far away
I'll repay
Everything and more
Just to be with you
In the sun
In the sun
You and me against the world
Always
You and me against the world
All the promises
Could last forever
Like memories
Never gonna say
Never say never
I'd rather say
I don't even know anything
I feel so vulnerable
I want to be
Only in love
And feel like it's us against the world
Against the world
You and me against the world
Always
You and me against the world
Always
You and me against the world
Always
You and me against the world
Always
I Need Someone To Trust lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
You ever had a feeling like you're some kind of fool
And spend your life just looking for answers
Take a wrong step into a little dark room
Waiting for someone just to turn on the light
You're like a one-way ticket to a dead-end street
Looking for a miracle but what are your chances
Where the river bends, you know that you're bound to fall in
Well if this should happen, keep a grip of my hand
Lost control, of part of my soul
Bring it back, make it whole
There's too many told lies
All that you lived for
I need someone to trust
I need someone to trust
Someone to trust
There's too many told lies
All that you lived for
I need someone to trust
Yeah at first it hurts, but you learn to live with the pain
And it all feels easy, when you live for the moment
Gotta trust in something sometimes, that you can't even touch
Feels strange at first before it starts to feel right
It's funny how so much can change, but inside you still feel the same
Now you can laugh at things you used to be scared of
The best kind of self defense, is when you learn to love yourself
And you let the light into your soul, through your eyes
Lost control, of part of my soul
Bring it back, make it whole
There's too many told lies
All that you lived for
I need someone to trust
I need someone to trust
Someone to trust
There's too many told lies
All that you lived for
I need someone to trust
Lost control, of part of my soul
Bring it back, make it whole
There's too many told lies
All that you lived for
I need someone to trust
I need someone to trust
Someone to trust
There's too many told lies
All that you lived for
I need someone to trust
Note To Self lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
Do I trust myself
Believe in everything that I feel
And not kid myself
By trying to re-invent the wheel
Common sense and self-belief
Could get us half the way there
Maybe once in a while
Won't hurt to say a little prayer
It's a simple life
If we surround ourselves
With the things we like
We'll find common ground
Helps us get along
With whoever's around
Always be good to the people we meet
When we have no clue what they're going through
Do I love myself
Enough to let somebody love me
I convinced myself
That nothing good comes for free
Common sense and self-belief
Could get us all the way there
And that every day
It's good to say a little prayer
It's a simple life
If we surround ourselves
With the things we like
We'll find common ground
Helps us get along
With whoever's around
Always be good to the people we meet
When we have no clue what they're going through
Colours lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
I see colours
When the lights are green
You're safe to go
If you know that orange
Is the only child of red and yellow
And you dance the blues
As the lights go down
Just take the music, you can use it
Have it on in the background
Oooh I feel good
I wasn't sure that I would
Since we don't see things the same
What a waste
I like candyfloss, you say you hate it
It melts before you get to the taste
I see colours, the sound of your heartbeat
Running through my mind
I hear colours
From the second our hearts meet
Music to my eyes
All the lights are green
Move straight ahead
You know that purple
Is the only child of blue and red
I feel good
I wasn't sure that I would
It's clear we don't feel the same
What a waste
I like candyfloss, you say you hate it
It melts before you get to the taste
I see colours, the sound of your heartbeat
Running through my mind
I hear colours
From the second our hearts meet
Music to my eyes
I see colours
I see colours
It melts before you get to the taste
It melts before you get to the taste
It melts before you get to the taste
It melts before you get to the taste
I see colours, the sound of your heartbeat
Running through my mind
I hear colours
From the second our hearts meet
Music to my eyes
Funny Time Of Year lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
After a while, the plans that we made
Can crumble and fall
At least we failed in style
And sooner or later we'll laugh at it all
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna hurt you now
Don't wanna let you down, this time of year
I'm starting to hate the sound, of falling tears
The saddest of all the sounds
Is the sound that a teardrop makes
That a teardrop makes when it hits the ground
After a while, the things that were close
Seem further apart
A simple change of style
Go separate ways or go back to the start
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna hurt you now
Don't wanna let you down, this time of year
I've started to hate the sound, of falling tears
And how could the plans we made
Tumble and fall
I promise before too long
We could laugh at it all
I don't wanna let you down
I'm not ready hurt you now
Not at this funny time of the year
Fly On The Wall lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
Don't wait for a saviour
To save ya
Nothing's gonna happen, you'll be let down
Like a pair of jeans, you've got my genes
Guess that means you're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine
You go your way, I'll go my way
I'll be here if you change your mind
Come around, turn my water back to wine
I'll be here if you change your mind
Come around, turn my grey skies back to sunshine
Now I'm just a fly on the wall
Now I'm just a fly on the wall
Tell me, have you suffered yet?
Like a suffragette
Don't take it lying down, you'd better stand up
For the family, like Emily
I'll do it once I'll do it again
I'll do it again
I'll do it again
I'll do it again
You go your way, I'll go my way
I'll be here if you change your mind
Come around, turn my water back to wine
I'll be here if you change your mind
Come around, turn my grey skies back to sunshine
Now I'm just a fly on the wall
Now I'm just a fly on the wall
Now I'm just a fly on the wall
Now I'm just a fly on the wall
Now I'm just a fly on the wall
Now I'm just a fly on the wall
Never Change lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
A week is only seven days
That's enough time to make a change
Think about the friends that we've made
Remind us of who we are
Remember there are many ways
So just take it at your own pace
You can't win or lose the race
And it's no good trying
I guess there's no escaping your shadow of a doubt
And it's no use chasing what's gone
So take a look ahead at what's in front of you
You can never change what's gone before
Take a look ahead at what's in front of you
I guess if you never lived, you'll never die
I've been thinking
About some things you were saying
If I spent a day in your shoes
My feet would be aching
The future's there for you to change
Even though it may seem strange
I'll be walking alongside
The road that you're taking
And I know you can escape
There's no shadow of a doubt
The things you were chasing are all gone
So take a look ahead at what's in front of you
You can never change what's gone before
Take a look ahead at what's in front of you
I guess if you never lived, you'll never die
If you never lived, you'll never die
If you never lived, you'll never die
If you never lived, you'll never die
I'd like to take a look inside of your head
And see what are you thinking
First few rounds on me
What are you drinking?
Appletree Boulevard lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
Deep inside of me
Are the seeds of truth
From the apple tree boulevard
The essence of my ideas
Come when the fruit twists
And falls like tears
To the ground
And the sands of time
How they blur
The edges of our dreams
Oh this island breeze
Ruminates down rivers
Back from the seas
Which surround
This place that we called our home
That is no longer the pleasuredome
It once was
Oh the sands of time
How they blur
The edges of our dreams
Snow falls in springtime
I'm happy to leave you
What once was all mine
Oh the sands of time
How they blur
The edges of our dreams
Oh the sands of time
How they blur
The edges of our dreams
Deep inside of me
Are the seeds of truth
From the apple tree boulevard
The essence of my ideas
Come when the fruit twists
And falls like tears
To the ground
I'll Do My Best lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
I came here with nothing
I'm gonna leave with less
Lately there's been something
Laying heavy on my chest
It's hard for me to say it, but
I'm ready to confess
I've known for a while now
That I haven't been my best
It's hard to start a fire when it rains
Try to satisfy her for a change
I'll do my best
Don't settle for nothing less
Than my best
I've been undecided now
For most of my life
I took a vow to change this
When you said you'd be my wife
Now I've got not only
Myself to amuse
I've gotta try to make you happy
There's no excuse
A cold day in springtime
When you took my name
It's down to me to prove it
Wasn't taken in vain
It's hard to start a fire when it rains
Try to satisfy her for a change
I'll do my best
Don't settle for nothing less
Than my best
And it's no good making promises
If they fail and go wrong
I've been a fool for chasing happiness
When it was there
All along
All along
It's hard to start a fire when it rains
Try to satisfy her for a change
It's hard to start a fire when it rains
Try to satisfy her for a change
I'll do my best
Don't settle for nothing less
Than my best
And it's no good making promises
If they fail and go wrong
I've been a fool for chasing happiness
When it was there
All along
And it's no good making promises
If they fail and go wrong
I've been a fool for chasing happiness
When it was there
All along

In Safe Hands lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
I'll leave you now
In safe hands
Cool your soul
It's love still stands
But failing that
Just cool down
Wouldn't you love to make it
Is this real or am I just
Imagining?
With wings take flight
The rose of why
And with that rose
The case is closed
But I need you now
To help me somehow
Well I'm scared to face it
This final kiss
But I know I'll remember it
You gave your best to me
Allow yourself to be
Free
It raids your memory
Still I'm sorry for failing
A time for change
Well I need you now
To help me out
Well I'm scared to face this
A final kiss
But I know you'll remember it
The Order Of Things lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
And well, I have to say
If I don't know what I have to say
If I could find a way
Then I would find what I need to say
Say something
Say something that you mean
Birds in the sky steal my melodies
All I know is I don't now what this means
But sometimes it's good
To rearrange the orders of things
Rubies and diamonds
Rubies and diamonds
Throw me to the lions
Make me a man
And if I had to wait for a time
Where things fall into place
If I could see your face
Then it would change all I have to say
Mean something
Mean something that you say
Birds in the sky sing my melodies
And I don't know why
I don't know what this means
But the truth is always there
Behind the order of things
Whistles and sirens
Whistles and sirens
Throw me to the lions
Make me a man
If I could sing you now
First two phrase, even back to back
If I you could hear your voice
Then maybe then I would have the choice
To say something
Say something that I mean
Birds in the sky change my melodies
I know that I know
I don't know what this means
But sometimes it's hard
To rearrange the orders of things
Rubies and diamonds
Silence the sirens
Throw me to the lions
Make me a man
Too Many Miracles lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
Miracle rain makes snowballs falling slowing out of the sky
All you people wandering by
Make sure you don't get one in the eye
There's a new world forming out of the way
Future love that's born every day
Too many miracles happening here
It's the same old story, different year
Oh I'm glad you are here
Been this way since the day I was born
I'm ready to be in love again
I know we could be in love
Photographing snowflakes lately I'm slowly losing my mind
There's so many different kinds
Falling all the time
There's a rainbow forming without any rain
A new dimension again
There's too many miracles happening here
It's the same old story, different year
Oh I'm glad you are here
Been this way since the day you were born
The age of romance is dead and gone
Maybe a chance I'm wrong
People falling out of love I don't know whose side you were on
Got to call these people along
And tell them where they've been going wrong
There's no shame in changing and being alone
Just pull yourself one for the road
Hasn't it been a strange old year
Well too many miracles happening here
I'm so glad you are here
Been this way since the day we were born
Are you ready to be in love again
I'm ready to be in love
What Tomorrow Brings lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
If this is your last photograph
Just smile, stand tall, and you could have it all
Color your soul, to make it whole
And use this day, what of it remains
If it's your reality, if this is your reality
Let it be
Ten feet tall, but feeling small
You raise those plans
Take a hold with your hands
This photograph could be your last
A final prize, a moment in time
If it's your reality, if this if something you can see
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
Ascend your soul, reach your goal
Blue-eyed one, hope against hope
Taking that fall, unwrapped it all
Bring it back, like the blood of the triad
If it's this reality, if this is all just let it be
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
Just when you think that you could never find it
Just then you realize your future is all in your hands
One day we'll look at this and laugh about it
Until then just realize the future is all in our hands
I'm tired of thinking about this morning
May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
I Saw You Walk Away lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
You're not alone
I'm not alone
Maybe we're together
Said we'd stay together through any kind of weather
I've seen the rain comin' down
and the snow fall on your eyes
I've seen the sun pour in shapes through your window a thousand times
You see life in moments
I know I've got nowhere to hide
But I can see your face in mine
and you'll be comin' back
For the first time it feels real
since the day I saw you walk away
From my head down to my shoulders
it feels numb
For the first time I can feel
how it felt to watch you walk away
From the ground up to my shoulders
it feels numb
If I don't crucify myself somebody will (oooooh)
If I don't do this thing myself nobody will (oooooh)
How could you say that I don't wanna live
I wanna live (oooooh)
Time that you waste turns into memories
And they fade
Fade away
Now I'm alone
There's not a soul
No one to remind me
Tell me you will find me, put this all behind me
It's not a feeling I've known
or one that I could find
If I could find you if only to tell you I'm losing my mind
You see life in moments
I know I could run out of time
I can see your face in mine
and it's beautiful
For the first time it feels real
Since the day I saw you walk away
From my head down to my shoulders
it feels numb
For the first time I can feel
how it felt to watch you walk away
from the ground up to my shoulders
it feels numb
If I don't crucify myself somebody will (oooooh)
If I don't do this thing myself nobody will (oooooh)
How could you say that I don't wanna live
I wanna live (oooooh)
The time that you waste turns into memories
And they fade
Fade away
It's What I'm Thinking lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
I'm a failure at heart
but it seems I succeed
when my heart feels the need
to be helpful
it doesn't happen much
and as a result
it's a rare thing
did I see you today?
well if so I'd keep grace
cos I don't hold your face
in my memory
everybody looks the same
there's nothing else to blame
but my, but my memory
it's a craze no one knows
still I'm craving the days
when this town was alive
and amazing
and for once I'm on time
still I'm falling around
to the sights of this town
'til they find me
and you wouldn't call it fun
when all the things you've done
amount to the same thing
here's the news, I'm alive
but in habit of not taking chances
well that's what I'm finding
we could try with new rules
just accept only one thing
and that is that nothing
will change anything
you see it all the time
but now we've seen the last time
that's the main thing
take a look at yourself
in the mirror you'll find
you look weirder
the longer you stand there
just take a step away
at least for one day
and you'll be finding
just a shot in the dark
still a good enough aim
to take half of the blame
and be thankful
for everything you've got
I'd take another shot
in the, in the dark with you
is it deal or no deal?
well I try everyday
and I still have to say
that it's no deal
what time is it, 14?
well I'm ready when you are
as long as we both want the same thing
I'll put the candles out
I don't mean put them out
I mean, I mean get them burning
you look good, how'd you feel?
I feel good
but I knew that I would
from the moment I saw you
well thank you for your time
and for not wasting mine
that's a rare thing
there's a savior in me
yet I can't save myself
so good luck whoever else
believes in me
you can only blame yourself
I'm the savior in yourself
and not in me
you're the new kid in school
everybody looks at you
because of the fact
that you are new
someone throw the kid a crutch
I know it isn't much
but it's what I'm thinking
You Lied lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
All our worlds are changing
In every changing places
My followers said to me
Will you least show their faces?
You lied
You lied
All I ask is you treat me right?
All I ask is you need me while you cry
And will around me
Know nothing and not see me
[?] less to me
[?]
You lied
You lied
All I ask is you treat me right?
All I ask is you need me while you cry
You lied
You lied
All I ask is you treat me
All I ask is you hear me
Only you can complete me
A Pure Accident lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy
Well, for a while it was amazing, and I still think you're the one
As long as we both want the same thing it's not hard to carry on
Just place your hand in my hand, take a walk in this old park
And hang around in the rain 'til it goes dark
I want to ask you questions that I never asked back then
And you could teach me lessons 1 to 10
And on the second first impression I can see how things go wrong
I know this isn't a confession; if it was it would take too long
I know you will forgive me for the things I have done wrong
I'm sorry I never liked your favorite song
But put yourself in my shoes; I will place myself in yours
Something tells me the future could be ours
Well, if you wanna know how I feel, all you have to do is ask
And all things never being easy, I'll give you (well must advice?)
Just take a walk down my street, there is magic in the air
And if you look you will find this thing somewhere
The feeling comes from nowhere and it takes you by surprise
Don't say you've lost the magic in your eyes
As long as we both want the same thing
From the ashes we will rise
Is it a common misconception or a beautiful idea
That we all end up back to your place, or you all come over here
Nobody could have planned it, it's just a pure accident
Well the people came, the people came and went
And I want you to just surround me with your love in your own way
This kind of thing doesn't happen every day
As long as we both want the same thing
Then it all should be OK
