Every day I wake up and it's Sunday Whatever's in my eye won't go away The Radio is playing all the usual And what's a Wonderwall anyway Bacause my inside is out side My right side's on the left side Cause I'm writing to Reach you now but I might never reach you only want to teach you About you But that's no you It's good to know that you are home for Chrismas It's good to know that you are doing well It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting It's good to know I'm feeling not so well Bacause my inside is out side My right side's on the left side Cause I'm writing to Reach you now but I might never reach you only want to teach you but that's not you only want to teach you about you But that won't do Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday And whatever's in my eye should go away But still the Radio is playing all the usual And what's a wonderwall anyway Because my inside is outside My right side's on the left side Cause I'm writhing to reach you now but I might never reach you Only want to teach you About you But that's not you Do you know it's true but that won't do And you know it's you I'm talking to
All I wanted was the chance to say I would like to see you in the morning Rolling over just to have you there Would make it easy for a little bit longer But here Closer every year So near The fear is coming clear My dear The fear is here Hottest summer in a hundred years But summer didn't bother getting up this morning And so all the trees forgot to wake They were dropping all their leaves on the ground below them But here Closer every year So near The fear is coming clear My dear The fear is here All I wanted was the chance to say I would like to see you in the morning Rolling over just to have you there Would make it easy for a little bit longer Make it easy for a little bit longer Make it easy for a little bit longer Make it easy for a little bit longer Make it easy for a little bit longer Make it easy for a little bit longer
Everyday I wake up alone Because I'm not like the other boys And ever since I was young I had no choice But it's OK to lead me on I admit it's not much fun To be led on by such a one As you are As you are As you are And ever since I woke up I felt the net Was lifting me out of the sea And even when I'm sinking I feel the need But it's OK to lead me on I admit it's not much fun To be led on by such a one As you are As you are As you are And ever since a long time I felt the rain And there was no danger And no more strangers As you are
Everything is open Nothing is set in stone Rivers turn to Ocean Oceans tide you home Home is where your heart is But your heart had to roam Drifting over bridges Never to return Watching bridges burn You're driftwood floating underwater Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces Just driftwood hollow and of no use waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you Nobody is an island Everyone has to go Pillars turn to butter Butterflying low Low is where your heart is But your heart has to grow Drifting under bridges Never with the flow And you really didn't think it would happen But it really is the end of the line So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood But you've been drifting for a long, long time Everywhere there's trouble Nowhere's safe to go Pushes turn to shovel's Shovelling the snow Frozen you have chosen The path you wish to go Drifting now forever And forever more Until you reach your shore You're driftwood floating underwater Breaking into pieces, p[ieces, pieces Just driftwood hollow and of no use Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you And you really didn't think it would happen But it really is the end of the line So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood But you've been drifting for a long, long time You've been drifting for a long, long time You've been drifting for a long, long Drifting for a long, long time
When the laughter fade away Ma vie Tout ma vie When there's nothing left to say Ma vie My oh my It's the last laugh of the laughter Sur la dernier page du chapitre On the last day of the year Ma vie Tout ma vie When the spotlight fade away Ma vie C'est la vie When the blue skies turns to grey Ma vie Tout ma vie It's the last laugh of the laughter Sur la dernier page du chapitre On the last day of the year Ma vie Tout ma vie When the laughter fades away Ma vie Tout ma vie When there's nothing more to say Ma vie My oh my It's the last laugh of the laughter Sur la dernier page du chapitre On the last day of the year Ma vie Tout ma vie Ma vie My oh my
I want to see what people saw I want to feel like I felt before I want to see the kingdom come I want to feel forever young I want to sing To sing my song I want to live in a world where I belong I want to live I will survive And I believe that it won't be very long If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn Then we might learn So where's the stars? Up in the sky And what's the moon? A big balloon We'll never know unless we grow There's so much world outside the door I want to sing To sing my song I want to live in a world where I'll be strong I want to live I will survive And I believe that it won't be very long If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn And if we turn, turn, turn, turn Then we might learn Turn, turn, turn, turn Turn, turn, turn And if we turn, turn, turn, turn Then we might learn Learn to turn
I can't sleep tonight Everybody saying everything's alright Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning I can't stand myself I'm being held up by invisible men Still life on a shelf when I got my mind on something else Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold I can't sleep tonight Everybody saying everything's alright Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold Why does it always rain on me? Why does it always rain...
What's so wrong Why the face so long Is it over? And where you going that you no longer belong here? And distance tells you that distance must come between love Where have you been, Luv? When the mistake we made Was in never having planned to fall in love, Luv Singing this song Singing along Makes it easier for me to see you go But in doing so In letting you go It only serves to show me that I'm still in love with you Singing this song Singing along Makes it easier for me to see you go But in doing so It only serves to show me that I'm still in love with you So what's so wrong Why the face? So long! Are you changing? And where you been to that you no longer remember? And distance tells you that distance must come between love Where have you been, Luv? It's just the chance we took Having never ever planned to fall in love, Luv It's just the chance we took Having never ever planned to fall in love, Luv It's just the chance we took Having never ever planned to fall in love, Luv Luv
She's so strange And she wore a black moustache And she pilfered all the petty cash She went to Birmingham She'll soon be in the can She's so cruel And she knew just what to do And while the cats were all sniffing glue They played their silly games And now they'll take the blame What she'd done And she didn't know quite what she did And they told her that she better had So now she starts to cry Without a reason why She's so poor And only now she's looking back She sees her story on a paperback What will become of her There's not much left for her
Today is the day For dancing and for singing The birds in the tree and all the bells are ringing The sun in the sky Is bright as bright as second light Is bright oh God I hope I'm alright Cause I'm gonna cry Hold on, hold on Slow down, slow down You're out of touch Out of touch Cause there is no design for life There's no devils haircut in my mind There is not a wonderwall to climb or step around But there is a slideshow and it's so slow Flashing through my mind Today was the day But only for the first time Hold on, hold on Slow down, slow down You're out of touch Out of touch Cause there is no design for life There's no devils haircut in your mind There is not a wonderwall to climb or step around But there is a slideshow and it's so slow Flashing through my mind Today was the day But only for the first time I hope it's not the last time
