from Everything But The Girl - Worldwide (2006)
When the light fades on a long bad day, I sometimes weaken. Then I turn
to see you've been waiting for me, I know I'm not beaten. 'Cause you lift me up, you do. Coming home sometimes I catch the headlines. It's been raining since Saturday night. And the trains run late, I'm stuck at Notting Hill Gate. But you'll make it alright. 'Cause you lift me up (you make it alright), you do. Such a little thing, our love won't make the world alright, but love makes sense of life and that's enough, at least tonight. So late at night maybe, when you call me baby, the day will just fall away. 'Cause you lift me up, you do. Words and music by Tracey Thorn. |

I wanted everything for a little while
Why shouldn't I I wanted to know what it was like But I pushed you too far and you started laying down the law till I didn't love you any more Now you can pull a little bit there's a little give and take And love will stretch a little bit but finally it's gonna break Wherever you go I will follow you 'cause I was wrong So there we both were in that little house just hanging out You didn't know what you were about You turned to me as you were threading daisies on a chain and you said "It's decision time again" Now you can pull a little bit there's a little give and take And love will stretch a little bit but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you 'cause I was wrong And the ground's gonna swallow you I was wrong I wanted everything for a little while Why shouldn't I I wanted to know what he was like Now you can pull a little bit there's a little give and take And love will stretch a little bit but finally it's gonna break |

Now you can pull a little bit, there's a little give and take. And love will stretch a little bit, but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong.

We are not true
We are not pure We are not right O but still I'll steal to you at night Too selfish by half Too ugly by far But when your songs have been sung, come to me Rumours are rife And winter blows cold Reminds me of such wretched times And yet all the same I will never deign To think ill of you When all's well My love is like cathedral bells Amongst all the dross The lies and the grief There are so many things you just wouldn't believe But amongst all the dross The lies and the grief When all's well My love is like cathedral bells |

If you lose your faith, babe, you can have mine, and if you're lost I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. Now I don't have to tell you how slow the night can go, I know you've watched for the light. And I bet you could tell me how slowly four follows three, and you're most forlorn just before dawn. So if you lose your faith, babe, you can have mine, and if you're lost I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. And I don't need reminding how loud the 'phone can ring when you're waiting for news. And that big old moon lights every corner of the room. Your back aches from lying and your head aches from crying. So if you lose your faith, babe, you can have mine, and if you're lost I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. And if these troubles should vanish like rain at midday, well I've no doubt there'll be more. And we can't run and we can't cheat, cause baby when we meet what we're afraid of, we find out what we're made of. So if you lose your faith, babe, you can have mine, and if you're lost I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line... |

I met your boyfriend on St. Martin's Lane and he said"Fancy running into you again". We talked a minute or sothen he turned to go and I walked into the crowd again. And the morning was a different place in every passerby I saw your face. Love leaves a lonely ghost with one thought uppermost is this the case in every case? Am I walking to you? Am I walking to you? In everything I do, am I just walking to you? It was seven years ago to the day, you rang my house and we met halfway. We walked round Leicester Square and sat through 'Being There' and every moment I replay. And I was desperate for love to be pure, though what that meant, I never ws sure. You spent your time on me, I took it willingly, and I made you trust in litterature. Am I walking to you? Am I walking to you? In everything I do, am I just walking to you? I just don't know what to do |

You're here, but what if you weren't? What would have happened to me?
That candle, unburnt, is history. One thing, I guess, this place would be a mess, for my standards at best are undemanding. And that needs your understanding. Still here, but what if we weren't? Where d'you think I would be? For love, I have learnt, depends on geography. Fortune found us when all around us half the couples we knew were disbanding. And that takes some understanding. And do you know even when we disagree, and freedom holds out a hand to me, I know I would never want to be without your company. And I mean that totally. One thing is clear, after all these years, we have reached an understanding. We have reached an understanding. |

Frances keep your mouth shut dear
We don't want the neighbors 'round With their ugly little schemes That make the pretty world go 'round And there's a place in it for every one of us I'll keep the home fires burning Only don't make a fuss And if you're not impressed With the wares life has to show You can take them or leave them They choose their own fare who say no There's some ugly little dreams For pretty girls to buy It's enough to make you mad But it's safer just to break down and cry It's a battlefield Frances You fight or concede Victory to the enemy Who call your strength insanity What chance for such girls How can we compete? In a world that likes its women Stupid and sweet I bet you rue the day The angels gave you your share Of bright cornflower blue eyes And golden hair And there's a lot of ugly little dreams For pretty girls to buy It's enough to make you mad But it's safer just to break down and cry It's safer just to break down and cry |

But such righteousness in me is not a nice thing to display, and who am I for christsakes anyway to judge a life this way, when my own's in disarray? I watch Saturday kid's TV with the sound turned down. And i leave food on the eiderdown. All my thoughts pushed underground. Maybe you're happy - everyone says you are. You drive around on two star, you leave your life ajar, and God knows you deserve it. Bad luck follows everyone. So go on, and stop listening to me. Stop listening to me. And don't ask me how I feel. Don't ask me how I feel. So it's not for me to say, because I change my mind from day to day, and when I look at you I only see bits of myself anyway. So go on, and stop listening to me. Stop listening to me. And don't ask me what to say, or to judge a life this way when my own's in disarray.... |

from Everything But The Girl - Worldwide (2006)
Now we're in twin cities, where the Mississippi rises and then falls.
One is Minneapolis, the other though less famous, is St. Paul. There are stray dogs on the highway and the local farmers moan about lack of rain. When the winds blew last winter I'd swear England had another hurricane. And we are twin cities and we are that river. From the standing still, we will be delivered. The last time in new york was with Mandela and Madonna and the Mets. For icons of an era, well, that's about as famous as it gets. I've seen cities full of ticker tape and cotton trains through Utah disappearing out of sight. And now I'm standing in a city that's as pretty as an ocean in the night. And we are twin cities and we are that ocean. from the standing still, we are set in motion. And no one calls me up to say, "how long are you going to be away?" No one calls me up to say, "don't let that life lead you astray" They were rioting in Detroit on the night the pistons won it back to back. I was out of there the next day and I only had just two bags to pack. And we are twin cities and we are one river. From the standing still, we will be delivered. and we are twin cities and we are one ocean. From the standing still, we are set in motion. |

Don't say one thing one day, then something else the next day. I'm trying to keep up with you - it's hard enough when you speak clearly, but when you're confused, it's like a goods train running through these rooms. And I'm reading more into your words than you have put into them, and that's my problem, but you tied these knots, now you undo them. You undo them. Oh and think before you speak, my darling. Cause with your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life. We all walk through this word alone, we keep ourselves untouched, unknown. You look up to the sky above you, read this there - I love you. Oh it's written there, you know I love you, love you, love you, love you. But with your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life. And when you're down, you bring me down too, and babe that's something I would not do. I know it's hard, yeah I know it's hard, and babe that's something that I don't disregard. I don't disregard. But with your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life. |

Who would be born into a mans's man's man's world?
But what do children care For grown ups' despair A house can hold both boy and girl But every mother's son grows up And daughters imitate And the burden of careworn world Is his to bear --Hers to wait As the open world of a tomboy girl Closes on a growing wife From a childhood clear Through teenage years That always seem to be more Trouble than strife. From the hot dark of the night To the cold light of day From the cradle to wife to grave Unless I stand in the way As the open world of a tomboy girl Closes in with growing strife For my own sake I'll comfort take To know I'd never make a wife As the open world of a tomboy girl Closes in with growing strife For my own sake I'll comfort take In the knowledge that I'd never make a wife You hear them talk of women's way with hatred And it cuts me like a knife Poor men, so much to bear The children and the trouble and strife The open world of a tomboy girl Is the best of life From a childhood clear You end up here In trouble and strife |

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong Wherever you go I will follow you Cuz I was wrong Wherever you go I will follow you Cuz I was wrong Wherever you go I will follow you Cuz I was wrong I wanted everything for a little while, why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what it was like But I pushed you too far, and you started laying down the law till I didn't love you anymore Now you can pull a little bit There's a little give and take And love will stretch a little bit But finally its gonna break Wherever you go I will follow you Cuz I was wrong Wherever you go I will follow you Cuz I was wrong Wherever you go I will follow you Cuz I was wrong Now there we both were in that little house Just hanging out You didn't know what you were about You turned to me as you were threading daisies on a chain and you said "It's decision time again" Now you can pull a little bit There's a little give and take And love will stretch a little bit But finally its gonna break Wherever you go I will follow you Cuz I was wrong Wherever you go I will follow you Cuz I was wrong Wherever you go I will follow you Cuz I was wrong |

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you Caught up in circles confusion Is nothing new Flashback warm nights Almost left behind Suitcases of memories, Time after Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead You're calling to me, I can't hear What you've said Then you say go slow I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting Time after time If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting Time after time After my picture fades and darkness has Turned to gray Watching through windows you're wondering If I'm OK Secrets stolen from deep inside The drum beats out of time If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting Time after time You said go slow I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting Time after time If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time |

You're only two and the whole wild world revolves around you,
and nothing happened yet that you might ever wish to forget. It doesn't stay that way, if I could I'd make stay that way. And this you will recall in after years, though you may weary of this vale of tears - these days remember, always remember. You're only two and I've no wish to worry you, so pay no mind to those who say the world is unkind - that's just something they've read, and if I could I'd strike them dead. And this you will recall in after years, though you may weary of this vale of tears - these days remember, always remember. And honey there's no rush, the world will wait for you to grow up. And this you will recall in after years, though you may weary of this vale of tears - these days remember, always remember. I hope you never change, I'll call you Jimmy, they call you James; don't ever change, I'll call you Jimmy, they call you James. |

something has come between me and the world that knew
what I thought wild last is falling apart in the face of something new how can I explain that I had no choice the sound of the waves fills her ears and drowns out my voice and I'm just too far away for her to believe what I say she couldn't hear me, she wouldn't listen anyway how can I write a letter the post is so slow if I'm to disappoint her then that's something she ought to know I can just hear her voice fall as I wait here alone how can so much harm be done by just two minutes spent on the phone you say that things will get better but she would hate me if I let her and she reads so much in every word that I say I thought that being apart would lust bring us some variety but after some time it seems clear that she's changed in a different way from me and I would like to shout at someone but no one's to blame it's just her it's just me and everything that is just not the same sometimes I would turn back the clock and recapture all that we've lost but I couldn't give up all that we have today |

You packed your books last night, you break with the past tonight.
I hope you find some beach house on the coast out there with plenty of light. Cause I know the road is very long But in my head I'll always hold your song And I'll keep a good thought for you. I'll keep a good thought for you. You left us "The Best of Frank" and on the back you signed your name. "One For My Baby" was underlined again. Now I know the road is very long But in my head I'll always hold your song, And I'll keep a good thought for you - If you're lonely think of me. I'll keep a good thought for you - If you're lonely think of me. There's a couple you knew quite well, they moved away last Spring, And though he can't find suits they don't miss much of anything. They're raising a baby now. At least that's one gift that this world allows. And I'll keep a good thought for you, I'll keep a good thought for you. Cause I know the road is very long But in my head I'll always hold your song, And I'll keep a good thought for you - If you're lonely think of me. |

The highlands and the lowlands
Are the roots my father knows The holidays at Oban And the towns around Montrose But even as he sleeps They're loading bombs into the hills And the waters in the lochs Can run deep but never still I've thought of having children But I've gone and changed my mind It's hard enough to watch the news Let alone explain it to a child To cast your eye 'cross nature Over fields of rape and corn And tell him without flinching Not to fear where he's been born Then someone sat me down last night And I heard Caruso sing He's almost as good as Presley And if I only do one thing I'll sing songs to my father I'll sing songs to my child It's time to hold your loved ones While the chains are loosed and the world Runs wild And even as we speak They're loading bombs onto a white train How can we afford to ever sleep So sound again |

I dreamed about you again last night. You never have the same face twice, but I always know it's you, and you're always looking better than you really do. Than you really do. And I walk around the whole next day feeling like I've still got something to say. But I don't know what it is, and I don't know how to reach you even if I did. Even if I did. Do I wanna hear that you forgive me? Do I wanna hear you're no good without me? Am I big enough to hear that you never even even think about me? Why should you ever think about me? And I thought that I'd outgrow this kind of thing. Tell me, aren't we supposed to mature or something? I haven't found that yet, is this as grown-up as we ever get? Maybe this is as good as it gets. And years may go by, but I think the heart remains a child. The mind may grow wise, but the heart just sulks and it whines and remains a child. I think the heart remains a child. Why don't you love me? Why don't you love me? Why don't you love me? |

spending time with him again
intending to put things back when they were alright just when we reach dry land why must it all get out of hand again tonight drinking till my tongue got loose and thinking that the way it used to be was wrong staying till the evening's wrecked by saying things just for effect, went on too long I used to think that you were all that kept me sane when all else failed now I think you were probably what drove me off the rails talking with our voices raised walking home to silent days and tears I said would rather shout for after all what's love to cry about I used to think you would hold out best of us all am I flattering myself or was I the one who made you cynical? |

Don't be unkind, for once be untrue -
can't pretend I care for her, only you Just be on time, spare me your shame, for once don't mention her name. Now I cannot claim angel's wings, but mention her name and I'll wreck everything I saw things not meant for my eyes, I was happy once and then twice. I said things I shouldn't have said. I told tales of days in your bed. In love and war there's nothing sacred. Just don't pretend, wherever you go, there are things that only I know - because I'm sure, when she's there, that you tell a few of the secrets of yours that I had kept for you. I saw things not meant for my eyes, I was happy once and then twice. I said things I shouldn't have said. I told tales of days in your bed. In love and war there's nothing sacred. |

All this short summer night long I've been waiting for you
Just to give me a sign that you feel this way too There are people on the streets for the weekend But I don't hear them There are others I could meet for the weekend But I don't see them Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city I have a dream, of an inky blue sea You could give up your job and go there with me I know we'd miss the football and the dancing There's always something And you'd worry that the people here'd be talking But that's nothing Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city In the morning I sit on the train and wonder If I can go through all this again you know I Feel like staying till the end of the line this time... This time, this time, this time Oh yeah. uh huh. We come to fight and dream in this fairground of a town Through the sweet and sickly streets from the airless undergrounds While the planes fly out of Heathrow taking people late at night To where the fields are like Australia in the early morning light Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea In the morning I sit on the train Talk to me like the sea Hey hey hey Talk to me like the sea In the morning I sit on the train Talk to me like the sea Oh oh yeah Talk to me like the sea Oh yeah, I sit on the train. Talk to me like the sea |

Don't go, don't go, don't go.
Baby, baby, baby, I'm lonely can't you see. Baby, baby, baby come give your love to me. Cause I'm just a prisoner, don't set me free. Before you turn around, take one look at me. Take me in your arms, won't you love me one more time. Take me in your arms, won't you love me one more time before you go. Baby, baby, baby, chained and bound, can't you see. Baby, baby, baby, chained and bound, can't you see. Cause I'm just a prisoner, don't set me free. Before you turn around, take one look at me. Take me in your arms, won't you love me one more time.

Married in black, divorced in white
Though daddy tried to teach her wrong from right It's hard to resist on a wintry night When you're out of mind, when you're out of sight This you shouldn't And this you should Oh, but Sugar Finney never could be good I've grown a little weary of this old town A conscience sure can bring you down I'd like to hang around Chicago bars With murderers and movie stars And presidents who'd rather be Alone with would be sinners like me America is free Cheap and easy They say Sugar Finney went off her head Lay once a month in a blood stained bed But me, I'm careful where I tread No handsome boy will ever leave me dead For beauty is no guarantee I'll take the looks and the rest you can keep The rest you can keep I hope it makes you happy Sugar Finney America is free Cheap and easy (Children pray for me Such is the price of infamy Tell them I was never happy Goodbye Bobby Kennedy In the White House still asleep, Goodnight Jackie Kennedy America is free Cheap and easy) |

There's a brown shirt swapped for a thin blue tie
There's a black truth swapped for a thin blue lie There's a slim man sporting a clean cut dream There's a slim man courting a wide extreme There's a fly-blown flag in a dry-bone town There will be no ships because they've all gone down There's a man with a medal but he'll never sleep There are guns in his head, they say the war was cheap There are heaped up dreams on the mounds of slag There are moped up tears as the hours drag There's a suitcase gone and there's an empty drawer There's a broken cup lying on the floor There are questions asked in the house tonight There's a wife been involved in a pillow fight There's a husband there who she hardly knows There's a patched up dream for a winter rose There's a soft touch finally come to blows |

I called you from the hotel phone
I haven't dialled this code before I'm sleeping later and waking later I'm eating less and thinking more And how am I without you? Am I more myself or less myself? I feel younger, louder Like I don't always connect Like I don't ever connect And do you like being single? Do you want me back? Do you want me back? And do I like being single? Am I coming back? Am I coming back? I'll put my suitcase here for now I'll turn the TV to the bed But if no one calls and I don't speak all day Do I disappear? And look at me without you I'm quite proud of myself I feel reckless, clumsy Like I'm making a mistake A really big mistake And do you like being single? Do you want me back? Do you want me back? And do I like being single? Am I coming back? Am I coming back? Do you want me back? (x6) And now I know Each time I go I don't really know What I'm thinking And now I know Each time I go I don't really know What I'm thinking of Do you want me back? (x5) |
