All She Wore, She Was lyrics - Aqualung

All she wore was her velvet skin and half a smile

All she wanted was a moment to be mine

Oh she told me that I shouldn't believe in angels

Said all we have is a little time but don't let that get you down

Why, she asks do you take things oh so seriously?

Don't you know it's all for nothing in the end?

So she lives her life in moments

Says she'll haunt me when it's over

She'll send her ghost

Round and round again

Knocks me down

And then it comes around again

Think its over till it takes another swing

A single word can raise the dead

And I remember every single word you said

But I'd rather keep my cards close to my chest

Than ever say your name

All she wore

She was

Complicated lyrics - Aqualung

Complicated

She says the future is overrated

On the very first morning we woke up

She tells me, "No getting your hopes up"

She's so hard and she's so tough

She's so cold to the touch but

Underneath the ice I see fire

'Cause it wasn't a dream

I heard when you said it, oh

You know that I wasn't asleep

I heard when you said it, oh

She, she don't do crowded

Says her life used to be sweet

But she soured it

She tells me there's no secret door

No secret smile

No secret passageway but

But I've found it

When I need more she gives me less

She's so hard to impress but

Underneath the ice I see fire

'Cause it wasn't a dream

I heard when you said it, oh

You know that I wasn't asleep

I heard when you said it, oh

And I will leave it alone

I know you'll deny it, oh

I'm keepin' my feet on the ground

But instead I'm flyin'

Oh, oh, oh

Some songs are dreams

Some songs are plans

Some songs are lies

You never knew you meant

Oh-oh-oh

Some come in third

And are never heard

Some change the world

And some just pay the rent

They pay the rent

No way to say

No way to say

No tellin' what

This song is meant to be

Is meant to be, oh

I want you to know

Want you to know

Need you to know

Your secret's safe with me

Complicated

She's complicated

'Cause it wasn't a dream

I heard when you said it, oh

You know that I wasn't asleep

I heard when you said it, oh

And I will leave it alone

I know you'll deny it, oh

I'm keepin' my feet on the ground

But instead I'm flyin', flyin', flyin'

Flyin', flyin', flyin', flyin', flyin', flyin'

And I will leave it alone

I know you'll deny it, oh

I'm keepin' my feet on the ground

But instead I'm flyin', oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Fingermouse lyrics - Aqualung

Running will kill you but I won't

The girl with her top on back to front

She says the moon is a dream

That the planet forgot

Says it just want to be near you

And there's a moon on my fingernail

Gather round

And no you can't blame the architects

Coloured sand

I know it's easier to shrug

Than understand

This is the only only only

Life that we're living

The only one that we're given

Some eyes are windows

Some are doors

One day I'll climb out of mine

And climb in through yours

Watch as they open and shut

As they lock up for the night

As they unlock in the morning

And there's a moon on my fingernail

Gather round

And no you can't blame the architects

Coloured sand

I know it's easier to shrug

Than understand

This is the only only lonely

Life that we're living

The only one that we're given

And we are mapping the future

One foot in from of the other

You.you in every sunrise smile

You and all the shit you bring home

You don't need to know but

There's a golden bear

It's strong arms surrounding you

And I won't ever let go

All you need to know is

This will do

Yes this love will do

Cause there's a moon on my fingernail

Gather round

And no you can't blame the architects

Coloured sand

I know it's easier to shrug

Than understand

This is the only only only

Life that we're living

The only one that we're given

And we are mapping the future

One foot in from of the other

The only life that we're living

So clap your hands cause you're winning

Striding out into the future

Just say the word and I'll race you home

Just say it

Cause this will do

Yes this love will do

This love will do

Use Me lyrics - Aqualung

Why do you grow your teeth so long

Why wait til you've bitten yourself?

What do you need to wear them down?

Who is looking out for your dental health?

What if everything that you want

Is a cover up - that's covering up

What you've already found?

Cos I got

Every little thing you need

So why not

Slide a little closer

Glide a little closer

Cos life runs a lifetime

Romance has a half life

You don't have to lose me

Just learn how to use me

Life lasts a lifetime

Romance has a half life

You don't have to choose me

Just learn how to use me

When did we drift so far?

I swear the tide was pulling us in

But now I can't see the shore

We can go anywhere, but where to begin?

What are you looking for when we've got

Everything we'll ever need

Just use a little imagination

A little imagination

Cos life runs a lifetime

Romance has a half life

You don't have to lose me

Just learn how to use me

Life lasts a lifetime

Romance has a half life

You don't have to choose me

Just learn how to use me

Just learn how to use me

Just learn how to use me

How to use me

Just learn how to use me

Blue lyrics - Aqualung

Eyes closed

Closed as I listen

Trailing through a weighless world

How can I hold you

How can I hold you

My blue

My blue

Still at

Still at 3 am

Watch you break

Break the soft silence

Swim out from the shore

Swim our from the shore

Particles of dust

Particles of light

Particles of dust

Particles of light

You've come to pull me home

Oh, you've come to pull me home

You've come to pull me home

Oh, you've come to pull me home

My blue

My blue

My blue

My blue

Could there be others here

Listening like me and you

My blue

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road lyrics - Aqualung

(originally by Elton John)

When are you gonna come down?

When are you going to land?

I should have stayed on the farm

I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever

I didn't sign up with you

I'm not a present for your friends to open

This boy's too young to be singing the blues

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny-back toad

Oh, I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

What do you think you'll do, then?

I bet they'll shoot down the plane

It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement

There's plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who ain't got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny-back toad

Oh, I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

If You Love Somebody Set Them Free lyrics - Aqualung

(originally by Sting)

If you need somebody

Call my name

If you want someone

You can do the same

If you want to keep something precious

You got to lock it up and throw away the key

If you want to hold onto your possession

Don't even think about me

Don't even think about me

If you love somebody

If you love someone

If you love somebody

If you love someone, set them free

Set them free

If it's a mirror you want

Just look into my eyes

Or a whipping boy

Someone to despise

Or a prisoner in the dark

Tied up in chains you just can't see

Or a beast in a gilded cage

That's all some people ever want to be

That's all some people ever want to be

If you love somebody

If you love someone

If you love somebody

If you love someone, set them free

Set them free

You can't control an independent heart

Can't tear the one you love apart

Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live

We can't live here and be happy with less

So many riches

So many souls

With everything we see that we want to possess

If you need somebody

Call my name

If you want someone

If you want someone

You can do

You can do the same

If you love somebody

If you love someone

If you love somebody

If you love someone

If you love somebody

If you love someone, set them free

Set them free

Set them free

Set them free

Set them free

My Girl lyrics - My Girl

(originally by Madness)

My girl's mad at me

I didn't wanna see the film tonight

I found it hard to say

She thought I'd had enough of her

Why can't she see

She's lovely to me?

But I like to stay in

And watch TV on my own

Every now and then

My girl's mad at me

Been on the telephone for an hour

We hardly said a word

I tried and tried but I could not be heard

Why can't I explain?

Why do I feel this pain?

'Cause everything I say

She doesn't understand

She doesn't realise

She takes it all the wrong way

My girl's mad at me

We argued just the other night

I thought we'd got it straight

We talked and talked until it was light

I thought we'd agreed

I thought we'd talked it out

Now when I try to speak

She says that I don't care

She says I'm unaware

And now she says I'm weak

My girl...

Swallow lyrics - Søren Lorensen, Aqualung & Davide Rossi

When did I get so big for my shoes?

Am I left right left behind

I feel like there's someone else singing my blues

Like I'm mute, newt, left behind

Swallow me down

Swallow me down

There is only one way

Follow me down

Follow me down

Cos there's only one way (in)

Can't sit down

There's a ghost in my chair

There's no nowhere for me here

Drop and I drift

It's the same everywhere

There's no nowhere left for me here

Swallow me down

Swallow me down

There is only one way

Follow me down

Follow me down

Cos there's only one way (in)

Tell Her This lyrics - Tell Her This

(originally by Del Amitri)

Tell her not to go

I ain't holding on no more

Tell her something in my mind

Freezes up from time to time

Tell her not to cry

I just got scared, that's all

Tell her I'll be by her side

All she has to do is call

All she has to do is call

Tell her what was wrong

I sometimes think too much

But say nothing at all

Tell her from this high terrain

I am ready now to fall

I am ready now to fall

Tell her not to go

I ain't holding on no more

Tell her nothing if not this

All I want to do is kiss her

Tell her something in my mind

Freezes up from time to time

Time Machine lyrics - Søren Lorensen, Aqualung & Davide Rossi

He says bury me with legs crossed

Head back

Laughing like the fool I was

Just like the fool I was

Singing [?]

You can bury me with eyes open chest open

Falling with my heart worn through with loving you

Singing [?]

He fell

Terminally ill from the age of 5

Around the age of 5

Knew he would not survive

Singing [?]

He lived

Permanently eyeing

His dying

But still that flash between the eyes

Caught him by surprise...

Just tell me...

Oh no

Did you figure it out

I say

All along did you figure it out

I say

How the hell do you figure it out at all?

Dark times

Did you measure it out

I said

How much are you carrying out

I say

How the hell did you figure it out?

You say "alone"

He says, don't regret the things that you did

He said, it is the things you didn't do that really weigh on you

Singing [?]

You can

Bury me with eyes open chest open

Bursting with my heart worn through from loving you...

Just tell me...

Oh no

Did you figure it out

I say

All along did you figure it out

I say

How the hell do you figure it out at all?

Dark times

Did you measure it out

I said

How much are you carrying out

I say

How the hell did you figure it out?

You say "alone"

Eggshells lyrics - Aqualung (feat. Lianne La Havas)

Big black crows
They're back here again
They pick at the ground, the ground, the ground
In the dead back yard

Big black crows
With tiny black eyes
How we gonna make you stay away, stay away, stay away this time

Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess what I, guess what I found?
Guess what I found?
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground

Big black clouds
Are back here again
Just hanging around, and around, and around
Til I can't see your face no more

Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess what I, guess what I found?
Underneath the eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess what I, guess what I found?
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground

Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Underneath the eggshells, eggshells
Guess, guess what I found?
