"Under Stars" (2017)



Dream On lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Never gonna be on my own
It's clear as the day
Never gonna cast my anchor out
I'm a free spirit, torn in a way
I can't stay here for too long
I got to keep on moving on
Nothing fades as nothing changes
This old place is driving me crazy

Live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
Live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back

I was living for the weekend
And the drinks are on me
Skipping school and cutting out
I wish this world would let me be
Trying to catch a feeling
Trying to find myself
We ran out into temptations
Cause this old place is driving me crazy

Live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
Live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back

I miss you when I'm gone
I'm still playing the same old songs
Dance like we used to do
But I'm better without you
Better without you

Live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
Live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
The time to listen now
I cast my anchor down
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
The time to listen now
I cast my anchor down
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back

Under Stars lyrics - Amy Macdonald

In life you gotta find your feet
In life you gotta dare to dream
Don't worry
We still love you
You still feel it even when we're miles apart
You're living under Stars and Stripes

In life you gotta spread your wings
Don't worry bout the little things
Keep fighting
Keep trying
We'll be here waiting on the other side
Underneath the Stars and Stripes

This is your song, go write it
Be who you are, don't hide it
You've come so far
Don't let it slip away

Under stars I'll be where you are
Just call no matter how far
Under stars no end to this road
But on we go
And still we roll

Hold my hand, we'll get there someday
Nothing's set in stone until the end

This place is gonna set you free
My love's the only love you need
Do you feel it like I feel it?
Cause I've traveled half the world tonight
I'll find you under Stars and Stripes

This is your song, so write it
Be who you are, don't hide it
You've come so far
Don't let it slip away

Under stars I'll be where you are
Just call no matter how far
Under stars no end to this road
But on we go
And still we roll

Under stars I'll be where you are
Just call no matter how far
Under stars there's no end to this road
On we go
On we go

Hold my hand, we'll get there someday
Nothing's set in stone until the end

Nothing's set in stone until the end

Automatic lyrics - Amy Macdonald

I'm going back, back again
Flying solo, only myself to blame
Taking my chances time and time again
Goodbye to you my old friend

Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
It's automatic
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
Running from the life I tried to ignore
It's automatic, automatic

Feeling sadness, feeling shame
I've taken the easy way out over and over again
Open road, I'm coming home
I'm free to live, I'm free to roam

Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
It's automatic
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
Running from the life I tried to ignore
It's automatic, automatic

Bring it right down, get ready to stop
Turn it right round, go back to the start
Bring it right down, get ready to stop
Turn it right round, turn it right round, turn it right round
Go back to the start

Automatic, automatic

Ready to go, this feeling won't stop
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
It's automatic
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
Running from the life I tried to ignore
It's automatic, automatic

Down By The Water lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Meet me down by the river
Meet me down by the sea
Hours and hours, and days go by
It's still a new way for me

I love the way your hair blows in the wind
I love the feel of my skin on your skin
Don't ever change, don't ever fall by the way

Cause I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day

I tried to call you but you didn't hear
Darkened feeling what you're doing here
Where's your baby? Where's your girl?
Out in the water, out in the world

I love the way your hair blows in the wind
I love the feel of my skin on your skin
Don't ever change, don't ever fall by the way

Cause I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day

Wait for me down in the water
Wait for me down in the water
Wait for me down in the water
Wait for me down in the water

Cause I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day

Leap Of Faith - Amy Macdonald

You were young girl, trying to get far
Trying to show the world who You really are
But they hate on You, and They pray on You, and You'll never knew
But You could feel so blue, So You wished it all way, Dreamed a better place
Dreamed by yourself, That You can feel salvation
Oh Oh, Oh don't feel to calm

I don't know, if it's Yes or No from me, but
All You do is hold me back
Standing on the water's edge
Dreaming of a better place
I'd feel the air again
I'd feel the air again

You were Young boy, born in wrong place
Nothing to your name, but a smile on Your face
And they tell You just They're the same
But You turned to around, started from the ground
Take the next step: find a better place
And heal, heal, heal, heal Yourself

I don't know, if it's Yes or No from me, but
All You do is hold me back
Standing on the water's edge
Dreaming of a better place
I'd feel the air again
I'd feel the air again

I don't know, if it's Yes or No from me, but
All You do is hold me back
Standing on the water's edge
Dreaming of a better place
I'll take the leap
I'll take the leap of faith

Standing on the world's edge
Dreaming of a better place
Looking to Yourself, and ease the pain
Standing on the water's edge
Dreaming of a better day
I'll take the leap
I'll take the leap of faith

Never Too Late lyrics - Amy Macdonald

I've always been a dreamer
With my head in the clouds
Never one to choose my own way
I'm happy to follow the crowds

But something started and it won't go away
Stirring from deep inside
Something's changing, what it is I cannot say
I want to lead the way

Come crashing down
Like water, like rain
Something's started
I can feel again

Ain't no use in sitting around
Waiting for the world to change
Never too late to stand your ground
Do what it takes to make them proud

And never too late the change your mind
The book has not been written
The page is blank, the scene is set
Let's start at the beginning

Now I know exactly where I stand
Open my heart, the future in my hands
How can it be that someone like me
Can be the voice, a face, a choice, a future generation

And there ain't no use in sitting around
Waiting for the world to change
Never too late to stand your ground
Do what it takes to make them proud

And never too late the change your mind
The book has not been written
The page is blank, the scene is set
Let's start at the beginning

I heard a voice
Calling in my head
Why wait until to tomorrow?
The future stars today

Ain't no use in sitting around
Waiting for the world to change
Never too late to stand your ground
Do what it takes to make them proud

And never too late the change your mind
The book has not been written
The page is blank, the scene is set
Let's start at the beginning

And ain't no use in sitting around
Waiting for the world to change
Never too late to stand your ground
Do what it takes to make them proud

And never too late the change your mind
The book has not been written
The page is blank, the scene is set
Let's start at the beginning

And never too late the change your mind
The book has not been written
The page is blank, the scene is set
Let's start at the beginning

The Rise & Fall lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Everything must come to an end
Don't rely on the trust of men
Remember how it used to be?
People helping those in need

And good guys always finish last
Power corrupts and good turns bad
Remember how I used to be?
Always helping those in need

The rise and fall
I never thought it through at all
Held onto the power too long
Forsaken all the friends I've known

All of this is just a game
I don't give a damn for change
Deep, deep down, we're all the same
Power, glory, money, fame

And reaching out to hear the truth
No matter what it does to you
Secrets hidden in every drawer
But no one knows what we're hiding for

The rise and fall
I never thought it through at all
Held onto the power too long
Forsaken all the friends I've known

Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall

And together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall

The rise and fall
I never thought it through at all
Held onto the power too long
Forsaken all the friends I've known

Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall

And together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall

Feed My Fire lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Searching for the answers I never thought I'd find
Fascination, inspiration, corners of my mind

Feed my, feed my fire, hold me, pure desire
Waiting, waiting for the time

We will be mine, you will be mine
You will be mine

Feed my, feed my fire, hold me, pure desire
Waiting, waiting for the time
Feed my, feed my fire, hold me, pure desire
Waiting, waiting for the time

Picking up the pieces of the heart you left behind
Put me back together this new love I've found
Basking in the glory, masking out the pain
These memories in my head will never be the same again

Feed my, feed my fire, hold me, pure desire
Waiting, waiting for the time
Feed my, feed my fire, hold me, pure desire
Waiting, waiting for the time

We will be mine, you will be mine
You will be mine

I'm running just to find you
And my feet won't touch the ground
Aching for the time to change, it's coming back around
I'm running just to find you
And my feet won't touch the ground
Aching for the time to change, it's coming back around
Coming back around

Feed my, feed my fire, hold me, pure desire
Waiting, waiting for the time
Feed my, feed my fire, hold me, pure desire
Waiting, waiting for the time

We will be mine, you will be mine
You will be mine

Oh, I love you baby, please
Never leave me, it's true love you see
Oh, I love you baby, please
Never leave me, it's true love you see

The Contender lyrics - Amy Macdonald

I've been written off so many times before
I've forgotten what it feels like to succeed anymore
Always on the sidelines, waiting in the wings
When the curtain finally calls, I'm never on the screen

And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get here
Only for you to cast me aside

But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start, start all over again
I gave it all, cause I had to make it
I gave it all, cause I had to try
I sacrificed my close connections
For the chance to say I tried

I've never learned to win, don't know what it means
I lost myself when we were young, I'm fighting just to feel
Always on the edge, I just want to make my name
I'd love to show the world what I gave up for the game

And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get here
Only for you to cast me aside

But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start, start all over again
I gave it all, cause I had to make it
I gave it all, cause I had to try
I sacrificed my close connections
For the chance to say I tried

And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get here
Only for you to cast me aside

Oh, I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get here
Only for you to cast me aside

But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start, start all over again
I gave it all, cause I had to make it
I gave it all, cause I had to try
I sacrificed my close connections
For the chance to say I tried

But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start, start all over again
I gave it all, cause I had to make it
I gave it all, cause I had to try
I sacrificed my close connections
For the chance to say I tried

Prepare To Fall lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Hold my hand if you want to be there
When I'm falling down
Call my name, call my name
Before I hit the ground

Do you feel alone when you're surrounded by
Everyone you know
Do you ever feel down
Like you're six feet underground
Can't dig your way out this hole

Come rain, come shine
You're happy all the time
Your dreams they didn't come true
What the hell happened to you
Are you waiting for the call
I guess they didn't get through it all
Be like me
Prepare to fall
Prepare to fall

Don't always aim for the top
When you're riding high
There's a long long way to drove

Do you feel alone when you're surrounded by
Everyone you know
Do you ever feel down
Like you're six feet underground
Can't dig your way out this hole

Come rain, come shine
You're happy all the time
Your dreams they didn't come true
What the hell happened to you
Are you waiting for the call
I guess they didn't get through it all
Be like me
Prepare to fall
Prepare to fall

Are you gonna drown?
Are you gonna climb?
Are you gonna rise?
Is now your time?

Come rain, come shine
You're happy all the time
Your dreams they didn't come true
What the hell happened to you
Are you waiting for the call
I guess they didn't get through it all
Be like me
Prepare to fall
Prepare to fall

From The Ashes lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Twenty-five years or so, it's all I've ever known
Pictures on the wall in the place that I call home
We blew it up and burned it down and now we stand alone
Flames so high in ashes down below
Flames so high in ashes down below

All my hopes and memories are blowing in the wind
I started off with nothing and I'm back here once again
The little things in life are free
The simple things, like you and me
Like love, like love

It's okay to start again cause change is gonna come
Nothing ever stays the same, it's not like we're still young
Let's blow it up and burn it down so we can stand alone
Fear of change, no fear of the unknown

All my hopes and memories are blowing in the wind
I started off with nothing and I'm back her once again
The little things in life are free
The simple things like you and me
And like love, like love, like love, like love

The sky above, the earth below, fire within me, let it glow
The sky above the Earth below, fire within me, let it glow
The sky above, the earth below, fire within me, let it glow
The sky above the Earth below, fire within me, let it glow

Under Stars (Acoustic) lyrics - Amy Macdonald

In life you gotta find your feet
In life you gotta dare to dream
Don't worry
We still love you
You still feel it even when we're miles apart
You're living under Stars and Stripes

In life you gotta spread your wings
Don't worry bout the little things
Keep fighting
Keep trying
We'll be here waiting on the other side
Underneath the Stars and Stripes

This is your song, go write it
Be who you are, don't hide it
You've come so far
Don't let it slip away

Under stars I'll be where you are
Just call no matter how far
Under stars no end to this road
But on we go
And still we roll

Hold my hand, we'll get there someday
Nothing's set in stone until the end

This place is gonna set you free
My love's the only love you need
Do you feel it like I feel it?
Cause I've traveled half the world tonight
I'll find you under Stars and Stripes

This is your song, so write it
Be who you are, don't hide it
You've come so far
Don't let it slip away

Under stars I'll be where you are
Just call no matter how far
Under stars no end to this road
But on we go
And still we roll

Under stars I'll be where you are
Just call no matter how far
(Under stars) there's no end to this road
On we go
On we go

Hold my hand, we'll get there someday
Nothing's set in stone until the end

Nothing's set in stone until the end

Dream On (Acoustic) lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Never gonna be on my own
It's clear as the day
Never gonna cast my anchor out
I'm a free spirit, torn in a way
I can't stay here for too long
I got to keep on moving on
Nothing fades as nothing changes
This old place, you're driving me crazy

Live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
And, live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back

I was living for the weekend
And the drinks are on me
Skipping school and cutting out
I wish this world would let me be
Trying to catch a feeling
Trying to find myself
We ran out into temptations
Cause this old place is driving me crazy

Live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
And, live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back

I miss you when I'm gone
I'm still playing the same old songs
Dance like we used to do
But I'm better without you
Better without you

Live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
And, live on and dream on
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
The time to listen now
I cast my anchor down
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back
The time to listen now
I cast my anchor down
I'm on top of the world and I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and I won't look back

Na, na na na, na na, na na na na
Na, na na na, na na, na na na na

Prepare To Fall (Acoustic) lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Hold my hand if you want to be there
When I'm falling down
Call my name, call my name
Before I hit the ground

Do you feel alone when you're surrounded by

Leap Of Faith (Acoustic) lyrics - Amy Macdonald

You were young girl, trying to get far
Trying to show the world who You really are
But they hate on You, and They pray on You, and You'll never knew
But You could feel so blue, So You wished it all way, Dreamed a better place
Dreamed by yourself, That You can feel salvation
Oh, Oh, Oh don't feel to calm

I don't know, if it's Yes or No from me, but

Standing on the water's edge
Dreaming of a better place
I'd feel the air again
I'd feel the air again

You were Young boy, born in wrong place
Nothing to your name, but a smile on Your face
And they tell You just They're the same
But You turned to around, started from the ground
Take the next step: find a better place
And heal, heal, heal, heal Yourself

I don't know, if it's Yes or No from me, but
All You do is hold me back
Standing on the water's edge
Dreaming of a better place
I'll take the leap
I'll take the leap of faith

Standing on the world's edge
Dreaming of a better place
Looking to Yourself, and ease the pain
Standing on the water's edge
Dreaming of a better day
I'll take the leap
I'll take the leap of faith

Automatic (Acoustic) lyrics - Amy Macdonald

I'm going back, back again
Flying solo, only myself to blame
Taking my chances time and time again
Goodbye to you my old friend

Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
It's automatic
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
Running from the life I tried to ignore
It's automatic, automatic

Feeling sadness, feeling shame
I've taken the easy way out over and over again
Open road, I'm coming home
I'm free to live, I'm free to roam

Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
It's automatic
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
Running from the life I tried to ignore
It's automatic, automatic

Bring it right down, get ready to stop
Turn it right round, go back to the start
Bring it right down, get ready to stop
Turn it right round, turn it right round, turn it right round
Go back to the start

Automatic
Automatic, automatic

Ready to go, this feeling won't stop
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
It's automatic
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
Running from the life I tried to ignore
It's automatic, automatic

Down By The Water (Acoustic) lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Meet me down by the river
Meet me down by the sea
Hours and hours, and days go by
It's still a new way for me

I love the way your hair blows in the wind
I love the feel of my skin on your skin
Don't ever change, don't ever fall by the way

Cause I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day

I tried to call you but you didn't hear
Darkened feeling what you're doing here
Where's your baby? Where's your girl?
Out in the water, out in the world

I love the way your hair blows in the wind
I love the feel of my skin on your skin
Don't ever change, don't ever fall by the way

Cause I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day

Wait for me down in the water
Wait for me down in the water
Wait for me down in the water
Wait for me down in the water

Cause I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day
Yes, I'll meet you down by the water
Again some day

The Rise & Fall (Acoustic) lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Everything must come to an end
Don't rely on the trust of men
Remember how it used to be?
People helping those in need

And good guys always finish last
Power corrupts and good turns bad
Remember how I used to be?
Always helping those in need

The rise and fall
I never thought it through at all
Held onto the power too long
Forsaken all the friends I've known

All of this is just a game
I don't give a damn for a change
Deep, deep down, we're all the same
Power, glory, money, fame

And reaching out to hear the truth
No matter what it does to you
Secrets hidden in every drawer
But no one knows what we're hiding for

The rise and fall
I never thought it through at all
Held onto the power too long
Forsaken all the friends I've known

Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall

And together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall

The rise and fall
I never thought it through at all
Held onto the power too long
Forsaken all the friends I've known

I'm On Fire (Acoustic) lyrics - Amy Macdonald

(originally by Bruce Springsteen)

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go and leave you all alone?
Oh yes, I got a bad desire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh yes, I'm gonna take you higher
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire

Life In A Beautiful Light (2012)



4th Of July lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Well the first day of spring, well it came and gone
And the summer did too but winter's so long.
And my heart still sings, sings for you.
And I dream of the one summer night I spent with you.

And it still goes on like the 4th of July
And my heart still beats like you're by my side
And I dream of the day when you'll be mine
And I'll fly sky high on the 4th of July.

Well the first day of spring, well it came and gone
And the summer did too but winter's so long.
And my heart still sings, sings for you.
And I dream of the one summer night I spent with you.

And then the rain came down and the sheets of grey
And they washed our love, my dreams away.
And the rising sun, it never came.
It just stayed there in that one summer day.

And it still goes on like the 4th of July
And my heart still beats like you're by my side
And I dream of the day when you'll be mine
And I'll fly sky high on the 4th of July.

And the fireworks still pop in my head, the flag still flies overhead.
And the banner still blows, still blow in the wind.
And the crowds still cheer, the crowds still sing.

And it still goes on like the 4th of July
And my heart still beats like you're by my side
And I dream of the day when you'll be mine
And I'll fly sky high.

And it still goes on like the 4th of July
And my heart still beats like you're by my side
And I dream of the day when you'll be mine
And I'll fly sky high, happy 4th of July.

Pride lyrics - Amy Macdonald

I never felt like this before
Try to hold it back and I feel it even more
Sweat drips down my spine and my knees are weak
I can not move, I can not speak

But then you came and I held it together again
I managed to stumble through
Fifty thousand voices singing in the rain
There's nothing that I wouldn't do

Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me

Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me

I never knew how proud I would feel
Just standing in the rain.
These three words mean everything to me
And I'd sing it again and again.

Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me

Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me

Well the blue and the white of the flag shines bright
And it's blowing there for me.
With my hand on my heart, the honest truth
There's nowhere I'd rather be.

Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me

Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me

Slow It Down lyrics - Amy Macdonald

I never knew you before.
I've been walking around with my eyes on the floor.
But now you're everywhere to me you're every face that I see.
Things ain't moving quick enough for me.

I guess I've been running round town leaving my tracks, burning out rubber,
Driving too fast but I've gotta slow right down.
Back to the moment the very start, from the very first day you had my
Heart but I've gotta slow right down.
Slow it down, down, down, down, down...

Wishing, wanting for something more, always better than I had before.
Who knew these dreams would come true?
And I run the red won't stop at night I don't care for traffic lights.
Things ain't moving quick enough for me.

I guess I've been running round town leaving my tracks, burning out rubber,
Driving too fast but I've gotta slow right down.
Back to the moment the very start, from the very first day you had my
Heart but I've gotta slow right down.
Slow it down, down, down, down, down...

I guess I've been running round town leaving my tracks, burning out rubber,
Driving too fast but I've gotta slow right down.
Back to the moment the very start, from the very first day you had my
Heart but I've gotta slow right down.

I guess I've been running round town leaving my tracks, burning out rubber,
Driving too fast but I've gotta slow right down.
Back to the moment the very start, from the very first day you had my
Heart but I've gotta slow right down.
Slow it down, down, down, down, down...

The Furthest Star lyrics - Amy Macdonald

The furthest star in the sky,
Well that's the one that passed me by.
I tried to wish upon that star,
It didn't get me very far.
It fell on empty ears,
It fell on empty hearts.
And my dreams, they fell apart.

I'm always wishing I was someone else,
I'm always hoping I can sell myself

But I'll be free for what I believe
And I won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal.
And I've been holding back the tears, dreaming all these years.
And I sing from the heart if you'll listen to me,
Everything I do is what I believe.

The lights went out across the world
And your house of cards came tumbling down
Cause nothing stays and noting sticks
When you're rolling with the lunatics.
But my star in the darkest sky
Twinkles and watches while the other stars die
Upon your empty ears and empty hearts.

I'm always wishing I was someone else,
But I've given up the goals, I will never sell myself.

But I'll be free for what I believe
And I won't sell my soul just to achieve my goal.
And I've been holding back the tears, dreaming all these years.
And I sing from the heart if you'll listen to me,
Everything I do is what I believe.

The furthest star in the sky,
Well that's the one that passed me by.
I tried to wish upon that star,
It didn't get me very far.

The Game lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Why did I dream last night?
Why did I not see the light?
Cause here and now is what I've been waiting for.
All my life, this is what I was born to do.
No sacrifice, I wouldn't give it up for you.

And set fire to my heart
Then tear my world apart,
Just like you always do.
And give, give me just a taste.
Then take it all away,
I'm lost in the game,
The game you call the fame.

Why did I think there was something more?
Why did it feel different to the years before?
Cause here and now is what I've been waiting for.
All my life, this is what I was born to do.
No sacrifice, I wouldn't give it up for you.

And set fire to my heart
Then tear my world apart,
Just like you always do.
And give, give me just a taste.
Then take it all away,
I'm lost in the game,
The game you call the fame.
The game you call the fame.

And set fire to my heart
Then tear my world apart,
Just like you always do.
And give, give me just a taste.
Then take it all away,
I'm lost in the game,
The game you call the fame.

Across The Nile lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Wave your flag high above your head,
You deserve to smile, celebrate in style.
Cause everything that depressed you now is gone.

And eighteen days while the world looked on,
You stood your ground, kept holding strong.
Eighteen days while the world looked on.

Across the Nile there are stars tonight
And they shine much brighter than before.
Across the Nile there's peace and love tonight
And it shows much stronger than before.
Much stronger than before.

Free and fair life they said it would be,
Cross our fingers, wait and see
And dream of a better day.
And across the world you've shown them all
That hope and strength can conquer all.
Will we stand together again?

Across the Nile there are stars tonight
And they shine much brighter than before.
Across the Nile there's peace and love tonight
And it shows much stronger than before.
Much stronger than before.

Hope and strength can conquer all,
You've shown the world how the mighty fall.
And across the Nile there are stars
Much brighter than before.

The Days Of Being Young And Free lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Listen to my heart as it beats for you
And it's telling you the things that I never could.
And it's laying it down on the line for you.

And the years are catching up, I can see it on your face.
And the days of being young and free
Are left there with the memories that blow in the wind.

And I can feel it coming when the Monday morning blues,
They last all through the week, I feel it on Sunday too.
And I can feel it coming when my knees feel weak
And I can not speak the truth.

The days of being young, the days of being free.
They're etched upon my face in every light that you see.
The stories I could tell, the lies are told as well.
What I wouldn't give to live it all again.

The years are passing, every single day.
Where did they go? Did you take them all away?
Now I'm older and brave.

And the children, they all left. They fled their family nest.
And now we're all alone
And the house don't feel like home anymore, anymore.

Then I can feel it coming when the Monday morning blues,
They last all through the week, I feel it on Sunday too.
And I can feel it coming when my knees feel weak
And I can not speak the truth.

The days of being young, the days of being free.
They're etched upon my face in every light that you see.
The stories I could tell, the lies are told as well.
What I wouldn't give to live it all again.

And in my baby's eyes I lived it all again,
The fear, the surprise, everything.
In my baby's eyes I lived it all again
And I wouldn't change anything.
And in my baby's eyes I lived it all again
And I wouldn't change anything.

Left That Body Long Ago lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Oh my dance is getting slower now,
Cause my years they're getting older now.
And my eyes, they won't cry.
My tears have all run dry.
And my memory doesn't get me very far,
I can't remember my name or exactly who you are.
And I don't know why, no I don't know why.

Will you please believe
I'm not the person you see,
I left that body long ago.
I left it way back there.
Will you please believe,
Given all that you see,
I left that body long ago
But somehow nobody knows.

So goodbye,
You were my world and my life.
And I don't know why
You've lost your mother, lost your wife.
But there's more,
Something more than meets the eye.
This is not the end,
This is only goodbye.

Will you please believe
I'm not the person you see,
I left that body long ago.
I left it way back there.
Now I'm free, I'm as happy as can be.
I just wanted you to know
That I left that body long ago.
So long ago.

Life In A Beautiful Light lyrics - Amy Macdonald

How do I know when I've found my one and only and these days of searching are through?
How do I know when you love me as much as I love you?
How do you know when your life, your life is complete?
When the butterflies in your stomach sweep you of your feet.

Cause the stars in my eyes, well they twinkle when I see your face.
And the butterflies keep flying, flying all over the place.
And the dark and grey, well it fits with the black and white.
And all I see is life, life in a beautiful light.
And all I see is life, life in a beautiful light.

Nothing can prepare me for what I'm feeling right now.
And nobody and nothing is ever gonna bring me down, down down.
No rain, no hail, no sleet, no snow.
Cause the sun always shines everywhere I go.

Cause the stars in my eyes, well they twinkle when I see your face.
And the butterflies keep flying, flying all over the place.
And the dark and grey, well it fits with the black and white.
And all I see is life, life in a beautiful light.
And all I see is life, life in a beautiful light.

Cause the stars in my eyes, well they twinkle when I see your face.
And the butterflies keep flying, flying all over the place.
And the dark and grey, well it fits with the black and white.
And all I see is life, life in a beautiful light.
And all I see is life, life in a beautiful light.
And all I see is life, life in a beautiful light.

Human Spirit lyrics - Amy Macdonald

The world kept moving and you stood still
Caught in a moment against your will
And I think of you tonight

The world kept going and nobody could see
The hell that was happening, too hard to believe
And I'd shed a tear for you

No matter how many bombs we've dropped
No matter how many wars we've fought
It's good to see that it's not dead
Human spirit is alive and well

The people couldn't get it, they said it wasn't true
How could this happen, happen to you
But we'll try our best to be home for Christmas

And all the while we're still thinking about ourselves
Worrying 'bout money and stressing about wealth
But there's much more, much more to live for

No matter how many bombs we've dropped
No matter how many wars we've fought
It's good to see that it's not dead
Human spirit is alive and well
Human spirit is alive and well
Human spirit is alive and well

The Green And The Blue lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Well the sky, it always grows and the lights they never fade.
There's magic in the air, I can feel it everywhere.
But the green and the blue come between me and you.
But I will always be true to you.

And the sun, it never shines and the wind, it always blows.
The treasure that you're looking for is right under your nose.
But the green and the blue come between me and you.
On a Saturday afternoon.

I never knew I could feel so lonely,
I never knew it would be true.
I never knew I could see a night like this,
Standing here with you.

But no matter where I roam, no matter where I'll be.
Something always bring me back to these streets.
But the green and the blue come between me and you.
On a Saturday afternoon.

I never knew I could feel so lonely,
I never knew it would be true.
I never knew I could see a night like this,
Standing here with you.

But no matter where I roam, no matter where I'll be.
Something always bring me back to these streets.
But the green and the blue, they unite me and you.
We're both Glasgow through and through.

In The End lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Wishing I was dreaming,
Wishing I didn't know.
All the thoughts I was thinking,
I don't want to know.

Everyone's always moving,
I'm standing still for all the time.
Thoughts that I was living,
Echoes in my mind.

There's so much more that I could be,
So many places that I'll never see.
So many lives that I'll never meet.
I'll just dream until we get there in the end.

Always thinking 'bout tomorrow,
Before today is even through.
Always thinking 'bout the future,
What on earth will happen to you?

There's so much more that I could be,
So many places that I'll never see.
So many lives that I'll never meet.
I'll just dream until we get there in the end.

And if the world stops spinning,
Would I start moving home?
And if the world stopped dreaming,
Would I stop believing in it all?

There's so much more that I could be,
So many places that I'll never see.
So many lives that I'll never meet.
I'll just dream until we get there in the end.
I'll just dream until we get there in the end.
I'll just dream until we get there in the end.

Two Worlds lyrics - Amy Macdonald

When two worlds collide
I'm happy that I'm by your side
Cause we will be forever
You and me

When dark falls everywhere
And life has gone to deep despair
I'm happy that I spent it all
With you

I think about you every night
You'll never go away
I dream about the day we met
Like it was yesterday

I know I'll see your face
One more time before I die
So we can say
Goodbye

When heaven called you from above
They took the only one I love
But we'll still be forever
You and me

When life has left you all alone
And love has quickly come and gone
Well we'll still be forever
You and me

I think about you every night
You'll never go away
I dream about the day we met
Like it was yesterday

I know I'll see your face
One more time before I die
So we can say
Goodbye

When two worlds collide
I'm happy that I'm by your side
Cause we'll still be forever
You and me

Dancing In The Dark lyrics - Amy Macdonald

(originally by Bruce Springsteen)

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby
I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere
Just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on baby the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting around here trying to write
This book
I need a love reaction
Come on now baby gimme just one look

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Caledonia lyrics - Amy Macdonald

I don't know if - you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these - last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
So I've been telling old stories and singing songs
That make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I feel
So far away today

And let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia's been calling me
Now I'm going home

And if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything
I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything
I've ever had...

This Christmas Day lyrics - Amy Macdonald

Αs I'm getting older, years pass by quicker than befοre
Summer's been and gοne, nοw winter is knοcking dοwn the dοοr
Αs the weeks fly by and we're lining οn the tree
Ι'll shed a tear this Christmas fοr how it used tο be

Αnd the radio still plays all the classic sοngs
Withοut yοu by my side, Ι can't bear tο sing alοng

Τhere's a spare seat at the table

Βut it's worse at Christmas time

We must still have the lives

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

"This Is The Life" (2008)



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
