jamie cullum - mind trick

I missed the opportunity
To get you babe
To stay with me.
Never thought, I'd regret
The excuses that I've made
Like a song, it will fade

If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing I need.
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you

So I put my feelings out to dry
Love, one day again,
I'll have to try.
Falling out, making up
It seems such a silly game
Why do I never gain?

If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing ohh I need.
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you

na na na's......

jamie cullum - just one of those things

I am sorry to say I didn't know her name
The fact the last 6 hours are a haze
Piecing together the fragments of a frame
why my motorskills are out of face
I feel like I've woken in a maze
Though we've never met before
baby I am sure

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
It was one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
It was one of those things

If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
When we started jumpin' town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye, good-bye and amen
Here's hopin' we'll meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things (one of those things)

[Solo]

Yeah--ahh,
If we'd thought a bit 'bout the end of it
When we started to bust up the town
We'd have been aware that this love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye, good-bye and amen
Here's hopin' we'll meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

jamie cullum - i m glad there is you

said i many times, love is illusion,
a feeling result of confusion
with knowing smile and blasé sigh,
a cymical so and so, am i

i feel so sure, so positive,
so utterly unchangeably certain
though i never was aware of loving you
'til i suddenly realised there was love in you and oh...

chorus:
in this world of ordinary people...
extraordinary people,
i'm glad there is you

in this world of overrated pleasures
and underrated treasures,
i'm glad there is you.

i live to love,
i love to live with you beside me
this role, so new
i'll muddle through with you
if you'll guide me through.

in this world where many play at love
and hardly any stay in love,
i'm glad there is you

more than ever, i'm glad there is you

said i many times, love is illusion...

jamie cullum - one for my baby

Johnny Mercer / Harold Arlen

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story
I think you should know

We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad

I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say
And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away

Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear

But this torch that I found, It's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

jamie cullum - pointless nostalgic

Ain?t thinking ?bout love today
Lost in the sunlight
Walking down memory lane

Ain?t thinking ?bout you today
People from the past that I knew
Are slowly slipping away
Seems so long ago
Since we were carefree

Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic-
That?s me
That?s me

Thoughts running round my head today
Times from the past popping up where they?re from I don?t know
Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I?ve realised what life?s meant to be

Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic;
That?s me
That?s me

Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I?ve realised what life?s meant to be

Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic;
That?s me
That?s me

It?s all I?ll ever be
It?s all I?ll ever be
Cause that?s me
It?s all I?ll ever be
Cause that?s me

jamie cullum - these are the days

These are the days that I've been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine

Sometimes when the nights are closing early
I remember you and I start to smile
Even though now you don't want to know me
I get on by, and I go the extra mile
These are the times of love and meaning
Ice of the heart has melted away and found the light

These are the days of endless dreaming
Troubles of life are floating away like a bird in flight
These are the days
These are the days
These are the days

I thought you said our love will last forever
Living that tears wouldn't for good
I told you that we will get through any weather
Maybe that didn't work out
But we did the best we could

These are the days that I've been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine

jamie cullum - well you needn t

You're talkin' so sweet well you needn't
You say you won't cheat well you needn't
You're tappin' your feet well you needn't
It's over now, it's over now

You're dressin' with class well you needn't
You're holdin' your sass well you needn't
You think you're a gas well you needn't
It's over now, it's over now

It's over now, it's over now
You've had your fun, so take a bow
You oughta know, you lost the glow, the beat is slow, the
shadows grow,
the lights are low, it's time to go, let's close the show down

(Oh) You're taking off weight well you needn't
You're looking just great well you needn't
You're settin' the bait well you needn't
It's over now, it's over now

(repeat all then...)

It's over now, it's over now
It's over now, it's over now
It's over now, it's over!

jamie cullum - wind cries mary

After all the jacks are in their boxes,
And the clowns have all gone to bed,
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
Footprints dress in red.

And the wind whispers Mary.

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
Somewhere a King has no wife.

And the wind cries Mary.

The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
Shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cos the life that they lived is dead.

And the wind screams Mary.

Oh oh yeah

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
With this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."

And the wind cries Mary.

jamie cullum - mixtape

Everything I know is you
Let me tell you what we're listening to
I'm a gentle soul I'm sure
But on the stereo I'm a dictator
Do you even have a tape machine?
To facilitate my plastic dreams
All the things that I have seen, from
Morrissey to John Coltrane AHHH!...
Cinematic Orchestra, De La Soul the Shangri-La's
An adolescent love letter, a sparkling jewel of manual labour

I'll make you a mixtape that's a blueprint of my soul
It may sound grand but babe it's all you need to know
I'll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed
It details everything that's running round my head

That's running round my head

Fondling, record and play
Without you it's records night and day
This ain't no disc of MP3's
This one' handmade, fashioned lovingly

Plant the rythm in your bones
You're the only angel in headphones
My love can paint a million tones
From Nine Inch Nails to Louis Armstrong
So resurrect your stereo
And the swathrs of melodies will flow
Thelonious, Maurizio
I tell you babe it will make my heart glow

I'll make you mixtape that's a blueprint of my soul
It may sound grand but babe it's all you need to know
I'll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed
It details everything that's running round my head

jamie cullum - after you ve gone

After you've gone and left me crying,
After you've gone there's no denying
Some day when you grow lonely,
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me
only
After you've gone, after you've gone away

[Instrumental]

After you've gone and left me crying,
After you've gone there's no denying,
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad,
You'll miss the dearest pal you ever had.
There'll come a time, don't you forget it,
There'll come a time when you'll regret it.
Some day when you grow lonely,
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me
only
After you've gone, after you've gone away

jamie cullum - you re nobody till somebody loves you

You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares

You may be king
You may posses the world and its gold
But gold wont bring you happiness when you're growing old

The world is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the sun shines above you

You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love

You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares

You may be king
You may posses the world and its gold
But gold wont bring you happiness when you're growing old

The world is the same
You'll never change
As sure as the sun shines above you

You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody
You don't need just anybody
Find yourself somebody to love

jamie cullum - get your way

Dinner at eight, that sounds fine,
I suppose that means we'll turn up 'round nine.
Bought a bunch of flowers, just for her,
She says the burden's on the receiver.

I opened the door and you walked in,
(sniff) the scent of wild jasmine.
The room, seemed to freeze in time,
My regular table will be just fine.

Radiant and elegant, you might be
But your concentration is so go-lightly
Both of your eyes reflecting the moon,
You really think you own the room.

Chorus:
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one where you don't get your way?
But even if you do,
That's okay.
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one where you don't get your way?
But even if you do,
That's okay.

Try to pick it up, reading the signs,
It's turning out to be a real good time,
And who'd have thought that entertainment,
Lies in the winter of your discontent.

Now, sit at the table, face to face,
Queen takes pawn, check or checkmate!
I feel your foot brush against my leg,
I'm not that easily led.

You flutter your eyes and you toss your hair,
I have to say that it is kind of unfair,
Let me tell you baby now what's in store,
You win the battle, but i'll win the war!

Chorus

This has been fun, i suppose,
Although my feelings are all juxtaposed,
But truth be told, i'm as fickle as hell,
But gentlemen never kiss and tell!

Chorus

jamie cullum - i ve got you under my skin

I've got you
Under my skin
I've got you
Deep
In the heart of me
So deep in my heart
That you're really
A part of me
I've got you
Under my skin

I try so not to give in
I say to myself
This affair
It never will go so well
But why should I try
To resist when baby
I know damn well
That I've got you
Under my skin

I'd sacrafice anything
Come what might
For the sake
Of having you near
In spite
Of a warning voice
That comes in the night
It repeats
Repeats in my ear

Don't you know you fool
You never can win
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality"
And each time I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop
Before I begin
Because I've got you
Under my skin

I would sacrafice
Anything
Come what might
For the sake
Of having you near
In spite
Of a warning voice
That comes in the night
It repeats
How it yells in my ear

Don't you know you fool
Ain't no chance to win
Why not use
Your mentality
Get up
Wake up to reality"

And each time I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop
Just before I begin
Because I've got you
Under my skin
And I like you
Under my skin

jamie cullum - you re not the only one

Right now the world looks so exciting
But that first rung it feels so cold
The air up there looks so inviting
You'll do the rest when you are old
The printed pictures they stain your hands
It's like a memory you don't own
The architecture of your grand plans
Designed to put you on the throne
The bitter taste of the unknown

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
Trying to bring to life your dreams
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes

I don't know if you're gonna make it
How many girls you're gonna know
I don't know if you'll pay your dad back
With front row tickets to your show
Right now your snare drum is a trash can
Your bedroom shadows are your stage
Your old best friend he is your one fan
He'll watch the light inside you fade

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
Trying to bring to life your dreams
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
Trying to bring to life your dreams
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes

I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
Trying to bring to life your dreams
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one who believes
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one singing singing
Trying to bring to life your dreams
I'll tell you for nothing you're not the only one fading away

jamie cullum - sweet insomnia

(Gwyn)
I watch the world spin slowly,
Through heavy sunken eyes,
My head is filled with echos of sleepless lullabys,

(Jamie)
The ceiling started splitting,
The shadow's crossed the light,
My mind will gently crumble,
As I stumble through the night,

(Both)
I know we've been lovers,
I've got my work covered,
My balance is not in the red,
I know recent sorrows,
No dreaded tomorrow,
So why can't i lay down my head,
Don't wake me from my sweet
(Gwyn)
Insomnia
(Jamie)
Cold, relentless hunger
My sanity is spent
I'm drowning in the melody of a lonely night's lament,
(Gwyn)
The single crack is spreading,
The shadow's air and flow,
My mind is SOFTLY breaking as my waking hours grow,

(Both)
The curtains are drawn,
Concealing the dawn,
I'm happily quilted in bed,
No-one's in the cupboard,
That could be discovered,
So why can't I lay down my head?
(Jamie)
Don't wake me from my sweet insomnia,
(Gwyn)
A dreamless drifting heartache,
Restless shade of blue,
My ticking clock is melting,
And the numbers are askew,
(Jamie)
The ceiling is collapsing,
The shadows on my soul,
I'm softly broken minded,
As my blinded hours grow,
(Both)
No solace in song,
The pills don't last long,
I don't know what else I can do,

The day seems uncertain,
As I draw back the curtain,
Could it be that I'm longing for you,
Don't wake me from my sweet insomnia
