amy macdonald - a wish for something more

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

amy macdonald - across the nile

Wave your flag high above your head, you deserve to smile, celebrate instyle
'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.

amy macdonald - an ordinary life

What makes you different from anyone in here
What makes you stand up 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 there all 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
So paparazzi drive you mad
Do you miss your life back home
Where 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 tame me
I don't care about the spotlight or the Hollywood nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life.

amy macdonald - barrowland ballroom

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 the 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 a cold December night
I wish that I was on the stage

Oh won?t you take a ride with me through the barrowland, our history, and I?ll sing you a song or two
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don?t care
Its all I need, and knew
And they?ll drink and dance and don?t you know its all part of the show
We?re going to maybe have to tell you
The people they may stop and stare but baby I just don?t care
But tonight, it?s only me and you

Oh nothing beats the fear when all (something about ceilings?)
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 a cold December night
I wish that I was on the stage

Oh won?t you take a ride with me through the barrowland, our history, and I?ll sing you a song or two
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don?t care
Its all I need, and knew
And they?ll drink and dance and don?t you know its all part of the show
Were going to to maybe have to tell you
The people they may stop and stare but baby I just don?t care
But tonight, its only me and you

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 starts 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

Oh won?t you take a ride with me through the barrowland, our history, and I?ll sing you a song or two
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don?t care
It?s all I need, and knew
And they?ll drink and dance and don?t you know its all part of the show
We?re going to maybe have to tell you
The people they may stop and stare but baby I just don?t care
But tonight, its only me and you

amy macdonald - caledonia

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, singing songs
That make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem
So far away today

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
And now I'm going home
If I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything
I've ever had

amy macdonald - don t tell me that it s over

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 ïs sung

amy macdonald - footballer s wife

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

But still 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 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

But still 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

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?

amy macdonald - give it all up

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 belive that the day will come
When you see that your the only one
And the rain will fall from the sky
This is goodbye...

(Chorus)
Is there anyone you can call
Have you got nobody left at all
Your map's against the wall
Is there no place else you'de rather be
Did you give it all up just for me
I'm sorry if you got me wrong
I forgive you in a song...

I wish that i could sore in the sky
I wish that i could fly, fly, fly
I say goodbye to my mother
And bye to my dad, you're all I have...

(Chorus)
Is there anyone you can call
Have you got nobody left at all
Your map's against the wall
Is there no place else you'de rather be
Did you give it all up just. for me
I'm sorry if you got me wrong
I forgive you in a song...

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

amy macdonald - human spirit

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 she'd 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 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.

amy macdonald - i got no roots

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(2x)

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
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

amy macdonald - in the end

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

Everyone's always moving, I'm standing still for all the time.
Thoughts that I was living, it goes 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 beliving in at 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.

amy macdonald - la

Oh here?s a story about a boy named Jay
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 you 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

I?m always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring you down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But im happy to be by myself
I don?t need no one else

All my dreams are built around your face
And this place
All the times of staring at the sun
You?re the one
All my dreams are built around your face
And this place
All the times of staring at the sun
You?re the one

I?m always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring you 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

I?m always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring you down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But im happy to be by myself
I don?t need no one else

amy macdonald - left that body long ago

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.

amy macdonald - let s start a band

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 a troubadour
Your strolling minstrel 12th century door to door
I don't know anymore if that feeling is past
Will it last?
Oh how can you be sure?

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

Give me a stage and I'll be a rock and roll queen
Your 20th century cover of a magazine
Rolling Stone hear I come
Watch out everyone
I'm singing, I'm singing my song

Give me a festival and I'll be Glastonbury star
The lights are shining, everyone knows who you are
Singing songs about dreams, about homes, about schemes
Oooh they just came true

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

And if you wanted to, then there's nothing left to do
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band

And if you wanted to, then there's nothing left to do
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band

And if you wanted to, then there's nothing left to do
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band

And if you wanted to, then there's nothing left to do
