Don't Tell Me That It's Over lyrics - amy mcdonald

Tell me why this world is a mess
I thought you always tried your best
Tell me what I’m ought to do
Maybe you should do it too

Tell me why they’re sleeping alone
No house no where to call a home
Tell me what I’m meant to see
Won’t you stop preaching at me

And I wanna see what it’s all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung

All the money in the world
Would never slit all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world
Would never set my heart alive

I dream of a day when it’s all gone away
And the sun is shining bright
I dream of a day when it’s all gone away
But dreams are for night

And I wanna see what it’s all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung

Don’t tell that it’s over
Please I’m on my knees I’m beggin you to stop
It’s over please I’m on my knees I’m beggin you to stop

And I wanna see what it’s all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung

Spark lyrics - amy mcdonald

Don't wanna see the stars; don't wanna see the moon
Don't wanna see the sun that rises up too soon
Don't wanna see the day; don't wanna see the night
Oh the afternoon, it feels about right

I am the spaceman flying high
I am the astronaut in the sky
Don't worry, I'm okay now
I am the light in the dark
I am the match; I am the spark
Don't worry, I'm okay now

After the sun always comes the rain
Followed by hurt and pain
After the light comes the dark
After the love comes the breaking of my heart

I am the spaceman flying high
I am the astronaut in the sky
Don't worry, I'm okay now
I am the light in the dark
I am the match; I am the spark
Don't worry, I'm okay now

I am the spaceman flying high
I am the astronaut in the sky
Don't worry, I'm okay now
I am the light in the dark
I am the match; I am the spark
Don't worry, I'm okay now

Just dry your eyes, and I'll be there
Don't live for anger or despair
Don't worry, I'm okay now
I'm okay, I'm okay now

No Roots lyrics - amy mcdonald

Somewhere out there's a dream that's not forgotten
But this world is never stopping for me
But I will try and I will keep on trying
I set my goals there's no denying
Never stop fighting
For What I believe

Many people will come and go
Many faces long lost you know
Many fights many makeups
Many kisses, too many breakups

I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a low low lonely soul

I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a low low lonely soul

And the time will come when the day is done
And the fighting's over the race is run
I don't know what I'm looking for
And this life I lead it's a curious thing
But I can't deny the happiness it brings
I don't know what I'm looking for

Many people will come and go-o-o
Many faces long lost you know
I'm just a low low lonely soul

And there'll be many fights many makeups
Many kisses, too many breakups
A low low lonely soul

I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a low low lonely soul

Love Love lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh love love you tear my world apart
Oh love love you always break my heart
It's been too long since you left me
It's been too long since the start
Oh love love please don't break my heart

Oh love love you always bring me down
Oh love love you turn my life around
Oh I don't know how to tell you
Oh I don't know what to say
But my heart is yours love in every single way

And at night I sit and cry it seems
Wondering why love is not like my dreams
Wondering why I am still here all alone
And at night I wish that you were there
Touching my face and stroking my hair
Telling me things, telling me stories
Telling me you love me in all my glory

Love love you're always in my heart
Oh love love I've known it from the start
Oh I wish that I could tell you
Oh I wish that I could say
That my heart is yours like in every single way

And at night I sit and cry it seems
Wondering why love is not like my dreams
Wondering why I am still here all alone
And at night I wish that you were there
Touching my face and stroking my hair
Telling me things, telling me stories
Telling me you love me in all my glory

Love love I wish that I could see
What in the world you mean to me
Oh love love you always bring me down down down
Oh love love I wish you'd stick around

An Ordinary Life lyrics - amy mcdonald

What makes you different from anyone in here
What makes you stand out from the crowd
What makes your mother so proud of you
What makes us worship at your ground

At night when you go to bed
Do these thoughts run through your head
When you're lying all there alone
Do you think of us instead

I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life

What makes you happy
What makes you sad
Do paparazzi drive you mad
Do you miss your life back home
Were they the best days that you had

I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life

I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Where will the music take me
I don't care about the spotlight
I don't care about the nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life

I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Where will the music take me
I don't care about the spotlight or the Hollywood nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life

Give It All Up lyrics - amy mcdonald

I believe in everything I see
I believe you do the best for me
It's not a lot, it's all I've got

I believe that the day will come
When you'll see that you're the only one
And the rain will fall from the sky
Guess it's goodbye

Is there anyone you can call
Have you got nobody left at all
Your back's against the wall
Is there no place else you'd rather be
Did you give it all up just for me
I'm sorry if you got me wrong
I'll forgive you
In a song

I wish that I could soar in the sky
I wish that I could fly fly fly
Say goodbye to my mother and bye to my dad
You're all I had

Is there anyone you can call
Have you got nobody left at all
Your back's against the wall
Is there no place else you'd rather be
Did you give it all up just for me

Is there no place else you'd rather be
Did you give it all up just for me

My Only One lyrics - amy mcdonald

After all the mistakes have been and gone
You're still standing here, standing strong
And I forgive all the wrongs that you have ever done
Cos you're still the only one

The apple of your mother's eye
Your life it passed your father by
I bet he wishes he was there too
So much grace and poise yeah you're always right on cue

And there were times
You know it's true
When the whole world
Was looking at you
They changed their mind from day to night
One minute you're wrong then the next thing you're right
God rest your soul
Keep standing tall my only one

There's still a twinkle in your eye
Even after we say goodbye
You're always there in spirit and in mind
I'll be with you until the end of time

And there were times
You know it's true
When the whole world
Was looking at you
They changed their mind from day to night
One minute you're wrong then the next thing you're right
God rest your soul
Keep standing tall
My only one

This Pretty Face lyrics - amy mcdonald

I don't care
Who does her hair or
What clothes she wears
I don't care if it's YSL, I don't care if it's Chanel
What matters to me is a strong belief
All this beauty is skin deep
Don't care about hair, don't care about eyes
It's about what's inside

You'll never know who you'll meet on your way to the top
You'll probably see them again when your fame starts to drop
Down down, I'll meet you on the ground
It's no good with your hair and your shiny blue eyes
It's no good when you finally start to realize
I need something more
This pretty face don't work no more

What happened to achieving
What happened to believing in yourself
Why listen to the musings of someone, somebody else
I'm sorry I don't see and I can't quite believe it anymore
What happened to believing that beauty's in the eye of the beholder

You'll never know who you'll meet on your way to the top
You'll probably see them again when your fame starts to drop
Down down, I'll meet you on the ground
It's no good with your hair and your shiny blue eyes
It's no good when you finally start to realize
I need something more
This pretty face don't work no more

You'll never know who you'll meet on your way to the top
You'll probably see them again when your fame starts to drop
Down down, I'll meet you on the ground
It's no good with your hair and your shiny blue eyes
It's no good when you finally start to realize
I need something more
This pretty face don't work no more

Troubled Soul lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh the sun may shine through your window on a summer's day
Doesn't change your heavy heart skips a beat each day
You get a temporary high as you watch life pass you by
Every single day you want to cry
Can we wish the tears a fond goodbye

Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while

Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while

Oh the rain may pour and it may fall
But still I'll always always hear you call
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Oh your eyes so blue your smile so wide
I think about you every day and every night
I'll be waiting, waiting for you

Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while

Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while

Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while

Next Big Thing lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh everybody said she was the next big thing
The shining little light on the Saturday night
Dreaming of the day when she could run away
She didn't believe the hype, was right
I knew right from the past
Was never gonna last the feeling's over fast
Now here we go
Now here we go

Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone

And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
Please stay in the game
Please stay in the game

Oh everybody said she was the next big thing
The shining little light on the Saturday night
Finally came the day when she did run away
She didn't believe the hype, was right
I knew right from the past
Was never gonna last the feeling's over fast
Now watch her go
Now watch her go

Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone

And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
Please stay in the game

And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
Please stay in the game

And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
Please stay in the game
Please stay in the game

Your Time Will Come lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh the wind is gently blowing
As the light begins to fade
I'm sick and tired of playing it up
Sick of this parade
And your eyes are gently weeping
As the sun begins to shine
The end is coming far too soon
I wish I had more time

So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
For someone like you
So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
So happy for you

Oh my eyes are getting tired
As the day begins to break
I left it all so far behind
My biggest mistake
And your smile is not like mine
It disapppears from time to time
But I believe in you
Everything you'll ever do

So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
For someone like you
So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
So happy for you...

So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
For someone like you
So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
So happy for you...

What Happiness Means To Me lyrics - amy mcdonald

Maybe in the start we would laugh
Maybe in the end we would cry
But I believe in every book I've ever read
And what you said

And the moon was in the sky
And the tears did fill my eyes
And the memories they all had passed
But in my head they'll always last
And in the end before I could be
I'd shown the world
What it means to me
Believe it or not, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me

Will I ever see your face again
Will I ever touch your skin
I'll never stop loving everything you do
But not me and you

And the moon was in the sky
And the tears did fill my eyes
And the memories they all had passed
But in my head they'll always last
And in the end before I could be
I'd shown the world
What it means to me
Believe it or not, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me

And in the end, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me

Mr. Rock & Roll lyrics - amy mcdonald

So-called Mr Rock & Roll,
Is dancing on his own again,
Talking on his phone again,
To someone who tells him that his balance is low.
He's got nowhere to go, he's on his own again.

Rock Chick of the century,
Is acting like she used to be,
Dancing like there's no-one there.
Before she never seemed to care,
Now she wouldn't dare.
It's so Rock & Roll to be alone.

And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I was something more.'
And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before.'

Mrs Black & White she's never seen a shade of grey,
Always something on her mind,
Every single day.
But now she's lost her way,
And where does she go from here?

Mr. Multicultural sees all that one can see,
He's living proof of someone very different to me.
But now he wants to be free,
Free so he can see.

And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I was something more.'
And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before.'

He'll say, 'I wish I knew you
I wish I met you when time was still on my side.'
She'll say, 'I wish I knew you
I wish I loved you before I was his bride.'

And so they must depart,
Two many more broken hearts.
But I've seen that all before,
In T.V, books, and film and more.
And there's a happy ending,
Every single day.

And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I was something more.'
And they'll meet one day far away
And say, 'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before

This Is The Life lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing
To the music vibe

And the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair
While the shocked too many sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the sizxe
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for 4
And you're waiting outside jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home till 4
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Ragger and his 1 leg crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Poison Prince lyrics - amy mcdonald

A poetic genius is something I don't see
Why would a genius be trippin' on me
And he's looking at me now
But what he can't see
Is that I'm looking through his eyes
So many lies behind his eyes
And tell me stories from your past
Sing me songs you wrote before
I tell you this my poison prince
You'll soon be knockin' on heavens door

Some kinda poison prince with your eyes in a daze
Some kinda poison prince your life is like a maze
And what we all want and what we all crave
Is an upbeat song so we can dance the night away

Oh who said life was easy
Who said life was fair
Who said nobody gives a damn and nobody even cares
The way you're acting now like you left that all behind
You've given up, you've given in
Another sucker of that slime

Youth Of Today lyrics - amy mcdonald

Maybe if you were some spearheaded guy
I would listen to what you have to say
But you're just some incapable figure
Thinking you're bigger thn me
But you're not
Yet you don't know a thing about youth of today
Stating your opinion
Making it ring in my head all day

And you say
My children weren't the same
My children's children they're the ones to blame
In my day we were better behaved
But it's not your day no more...

We are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
We are youth of today
We'll say what we want to say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all

And maybe if you had a true point of view
I would listen to you
But it's just your one sided feelings
They keep getting in my way
And you don't know a single thing
About the youth of today
Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day

Run lyrics - amy mcdonald

Will you tell me when the lights are fading
Cos I can't see I can't see no more
Will you tell me when the song stops playing
Cos I can't hear I can't hear no more

She said I don't know what you're living for
She said I don't know what you're living for at all
He said I don't know what you're living for
He said I don't know what you're living for at all

But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for.

Will you tell me when the fighting's over
Cos I can't take I can't take no more
Will you tell me when the day is done
Cos I can't run I can't run no more

She said I don't know what you did it for
She said I don't know what you did it for at all
He said I don't know what you did it for
He said I don't know what you did it for at all

But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for.

And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for.

Let's Start A Band lyrics - amy mcdonald

Put a ribbon round my neck and call me a libertine
I will sing you songs of dreams I used to dream
I will sail away on seas of silver and gold
until I reach my home.

Give me a guitar and I'll be your troubadour
Your strolling minstrel 12th century door to door
I don't know anymore, if that feeling is past will is last
How can you be sure

And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?

Give me a stage and I'll be your rock and roll queen
Your 20th century cover of a magazine
rolling stone here I come, watch out everyone I'm singing my song.

Give me a festival and I'll be your Glastonbury star
The lights are shining everyone knows who you are
singing songs about dreams about hopes about schemes
ooooh, they just came true.

And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?

And if you want it to then there's nothing left to do
Lets start a band, lets start a band, lets start a band, lets start a band.

Barrowland Ballroom lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh the lights outside they're as bright as the sun
They're much brighter than anyone.
Oh the girls in the Queue yes they're waiting for you
Well they're waiting for their song to be sung.

And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
I wish that I was on that stage

Oh won't you take a ride with me
through the Barrowland history
and I'll sing you a song or two
People they may stop and stare but baby I, I just don't care it's
it's only me and you.
And the drink and dance and drugs you know
it's all part of the show we go to
Maybe I should tell you.
That people they may stop and stare but baby I, I just don't care
tonight, it's only me and you.

Oh nothing beats the feeling of the high Barrowland ceiling
When the band starts to play.
Won't you buy me a drink and I'll tell her what I think
If she gets in my way

And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
I wish that I was on that stage

[Chorus]

And when the night turns to day
And the lights they fade away
I wish that life and love would pass me by
And when the band stops a song because there's something going on
Well there is magic in the air I swear.
And I wish that I saw Bowie, playing on that stage
I wish that I saw something, to make me come of age.

[Chorus]

L.A. lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh here's a story bout a boy named J.
Nothing he did would ever get in my way
but there's still a long, long way to go.
I've only ever seen his face on film,
I've only ever heard the lines he'd say
But still they won't, get in my way.

I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
wake up one morning and your dreams are life
never let them, bring me down
never let them, tear me down.
I always thought that I would follow you.
Every place and everything you do
but I'm happy to be by myself,
I don't need no-one else

He's never ever seen my face before
I'm trying hard cos this I can't ignore
but there's still a long, long way to go.

[Chorus]

All my dreams are built around your face, and this place
All the times I'm starring at the sun, you're the one.
All my dreams are built around your face, and this place
All the times I'm starring at the sun, you're the one.

[Chorus]

A Wish For Something More lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh the sun is shining far too bright
For it to still be night
Oh the air feels so cold, so cold and old
How can it be light?

Let's take a walk outside
See the world through teach others eyes
I wish I was your only one

I think you're beautiful but your hair is a mess
And your shoes are untied but that's what I love best

And I, I wish I was the one, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairy tale romances every single day
And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend how I wish for something, wish for something more

Now the grass is so green, but I can't see anything past your eyes
I'm fixated on your smile; your cherry lips make life worth while
I'm thinking these things while I'm trying to say
This lie gets in my way, every single day

And I, I wish I was the one, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairy tale romances every single day
And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend how I wish for something, wish for something more

Now this sun is fading, now the rain is coming down
And I'm looking at your face and you're looking at the ground
I see diamonds in your dreams, I see pearls around your neck,
I see everything that's beautiful, oh everything that's beautiful

I wish I was the one, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairy tale romances every single day
And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend how I wish for something, wish for something more

Footballer's Wife lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh, Mr James Dean, he don't
belong to anything.
Oh he left before they could get him,
With their ways, their wicked ways.
Oh Marilyn Monroe, where did you go?
I didn't hear all your stories
I didn't see all your glory.

But the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end who is she to pretend
That she's one of them
I don't think so.
And the girl from that show
yes the one we all know
she thinks she's some kinda star, yes you know who you are.
I don't think so. I don't think so.

Oh ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire
Won't you dance for me cos I just don't care
What's going on today, I think there's something more, something more.
And I'm gone with the wind like they were before.
But I'm believing myself I think there's something more
There must be something more, I think there's something more, something more.

[Chorus]

Oh I don't believe in the telling of your stories
throughout your life, there's just something unappealing it don't catch my eye
it don't catch my eye.
Oh I don't believe in the selling of your glories before you leave this life
there's so much more to see, I don't believe this is how the world should be.

[Chorus]

The Road To Home lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh, the leaves are falling from the trees
And the snow is coming, don't you know?
But I'll still remember which way to go
I'm on the road, the road to home

Oh, the sound is fading in my ears
And I can't believe I've lasted all these years
But I'll still remember which way to go
I'm on the road, the road to home

Oh, the light is fading all the time
And this life I'm in, it seems to pass me by
But I'll still remember which way to go
I'm on the road, the road to home

Now I must say goodbye
Keep telling myself now don't you cry
But I'm here where I belong
I'll see you soon, it won't be long
I'll see you soon, it won't be long
I'll see you soon, it won't be long

Somebody New lyrics - amy mcdonald

I never knew you before I never seen that sweet smile or those eyes are dazzled from about a mile away
I never smelt that sweet scent that followed you everywhere you went or even had the chance to call you mine

Now I look back in regret at all the missed hours I spent watching my life just pass me by Now you're with somebody new and there's nothing I can do just sit back and watch you smile
I......watch you smile
I......watch you smile

It's like everywhere I go I know you always gonna be there but you don't see me there as I try to walk by you all you ever seem to do is move away from there

Now I look back in regret at all the missed hours I spent watching my life just pass me by now you're with somebody new and there's nothing I can do just sit back and watch you smile
I......watch you smile
I......watch you smile

Now I look back in regret at all the missed hours I spent watching my life just pass me by now you're with somebody new and there's nothing I can do just sit back and watch you smile
I......watch you smile
I......watch you smile
