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
