kt tunstall - suddenly i see
Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
She makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
kt tunstall - black horse and the cherry tree
Two, three, four
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
Well my heart knows me better than i know myself
So i'm gonna let it do all the talking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
I fell in fear, upon my back
I said don't look back, just keep on walking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
When the big black horse that looked this way,
Said hey lady, will you marry me?
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
But i said no, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
(ooooo,woo-hoo)
And my heart had a problem, in the early hours,
So it stopped it dead for a beat or two.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
But i cut some cord, and i shouldn't have done that,
And it won't forgive me after all these years
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
So i sent her to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
Now it won't come back , cause it's oh so happy
And now i've got a hole for the world to see
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
But it said no, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no,no-no-no
Said no, no, you're not the one for me
(ooooo,woo-hoo) (not the one for me, yeah)
(ooooo,woo-hoo)
Said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
You're not the one for me
Said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
You're not the one for me
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there cause they've all forsken me
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there cause they've all forsken me
kt tunstall - golden age
Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
let the weight of the world
Drift away instead
Oh
These days I barely get by
I don't even try
It's a treacherous road
With a desolated view
There's distant lights
But here they're far and few
And the sun don't shine
Even when it's day
You gotta drive all night
Just to feel like you're OK
Oh
These days I barely get by
I don't even try
I don't even try
kt tunstall - other side of the world
Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water
All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water
The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me
On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along
The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world
Can you help me
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore
And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world
Oh, the other side of the world
You're the other side of the world to me
kt tunstall - come on get in
Well I worked it out
I gotta say goodbye
I can see it clear as day
With a naked eye
Smells like thunder
You look like rain
And itâ??s spelling out
Disaster is my name
Oh, we could make it easy
We could do it right
â??Cos you know the time has come
It must be done
We are going downhill
(Chorus)
Come on, can you see the light
Come on, you know it feels right
The door is open
Are you gonna take the ride
Weâ??re playing it all wrong
Thatâ??s why Iâ??m saying it
Come On, Get In
Gotta do it friendly
Gotta do it soon
Got to get this mean old beast
Out of the room
â??Cos heâ??s been greedy
And weâ??ve been blind
While we let him creep up on us
From behind
Oh but heâ??s not gonna get me
Heâ??s not getting you
â??Cos you know the time has come
It must be done
We are going downhill
(Chorus)
Iâ??ll take the anger
You take the pain
And weâ??ll promise that we
Wonâ??t go back again
Oh â??cos the time
The time has come
We could break these chains
And baby we could run
So keep your eyes on the road and
Keep your hands on the wheel
Cos we know the time is right
We just might
Make it going downhill
(Chorus)
kt tunstall - i want you back
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
when glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Refrão:
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please send me
(back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
Now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
oh oh yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby yeah
(I want you back)
yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
oh oh darlin
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street I walk down
I leave tearstains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please send me
(back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
Now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
oh oh yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby yeah
(I want you back)
oh oh na na
(I want you back)
I want you back (7x)
All i want
All i need
All i want know
Baby i want you back
baby yeah yeah
Oh baby I was blind to let you go
Won't you please send me
(back to your heart)
Oh baby give one more chance
show you that I love you
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
oh oh yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
oh oh yeah yeah
(I want you back)
kt tunstall - carried
Oh tell me how to let it go
Just like this?
In a medicated bliss
Is it still a terrifying overload?
A stout defying open road
If I pay a ferry boat
Will you carry my load?
And I'll paint all the ways in which I feel
Set my glory alight
And my still fight you teeth and nail
My youth is screaming
The door never really shuts
Despite agoraphobic ifs and buts
You're close to going through
Will you carry me too?
And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do
But we all take a unique fall in the final scene
To a violin string
Or a crashing train
We all need somebody to teach us
How to be
Carried
Oh do you see Eden through the gates
Who has the list?
Has this all been über fate?
Or is every move a known footprint fossilized
A rare remake realized
And if you fall too soon
I'll carry you
And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do
But we all take a unique fall in the final scene
To a violin string
Or a crashing train
In the pounding rain
And the thunder rolls in
And the vertigo comes and goes
And comes and goes and
Comes
We each need somebody to teach us
How to be
Carried
kt tunstall - white bird
white bird with a black tail
eyes dark and face so pale
do you know what your future holds?
over your side of the road
white bird with a black tail
you look like an open sail
make me look up from my shoes
to show me what you stand to lose
white bird white bird
with your face so pale
white bird white bird
where'd you get that tail?
white bird white bird
with a black tail
white feathers dipped in tar
its hard to tell how old you are
wondering how much you know
about all of us below
half of you is heavenly
showing off your purity
the rest of you is from the street
like a line where they both meet
white bird white bird
with your face so pale
white bird white bird
where'd you get that tail?
white bird white bird
with your face so pale
white bird white bird
with a black tail
kt tunstall - skinny lou
Skinny Lou you used to be that I couldn't see you sideways
Skinny Lou many times I wish I could be like you
turn away from the bay in my own ways
Just like you do Skinny Lou
There's a pull I can feel like gravity, grabbing me sideways
The water railway station ticket to take me out of this town
Leave me somewhere
standing with the rain on my face again and again
Oh, is it true you used to run with constellations
And the rock-a-billy boys will never see
Your artistry of taking your whole world in without taking it all on
Because you know it will be your skinny shoulders it rests upon
Skinny Lou I've a mind to sew a tapestry this time
For it feels like gold in the pocket of a coat
it would be easy to forget you ever had
to have it we do, me and you
Oh, is it true you used to run with constellations
And the rock-a-billy boys will never see
Your artistry of taking taking your whole world in
without taking it all on
For you know it will be your skinny shoulders it rests upon
Yes you know it will be your skinny shoulders it rests upon
Oh you know it will be your skinny shoulders it rests upon
kt tunstall - old man song
Oh we are fighters in our prime
And as I look to your corner from mine
They say the chasm is black and so terribly wide
But I believe that's a trick of the eye
And there are mountains in your eyes
I suppose it should be no surprise
The war that you wage against smiling at your age
Is the only thing you said unwise
When you look like you do
When you look like you do
When you look like you do
Oh come alive inside this light
Your journey on is my delight
I sense a feeling so strange as I'm watching you change
From a man into a portal knight
So play old man
Won't you play?
I'll sit by your side, if I may
And soak in your soul
While denying it so
Contesting your claim
You're nearly through
I don't believe you
When you can do what you do
I don't believe you
Oh why don't you just play?
kt tunstall - hold on
Say you to me
You're a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searchin' the land
For a hero of a man
You say I need
More than my fair share of attention
But I think you know
That just isn't so
Underneath, I felt the fire of a burning question
Tearin' me apart
Right from the very start
And now I see
That it don't take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong
So long
You'll see
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not
Simplicity
A heart of gold, an old head, and young shoulders
Quiet and lovely
Becomin' part of me
And now I see
From a handful of names and a thousand faces
One light, burnin', furiously
I was tired of January
I was tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I was tired of January
Tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I felt a change a-comin
I felt a change a-comin
felt a change a-comin, soon
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not
Oh yeah, well the world will turn if you're ready or not
Oh, yes the world will turn if you're ready or not
kt tunstall - miracle
Remember we'd always see
The end as the enemy
Now we know it isn't so
I've started to realize
You've been giving me good advice
About where we go
And if I ever need you you'll be there
In the end
Like a miracle, a miracle
Maybe when we leave it's a rise and not a fall
Is it possible, it seems so real?
I'm sure that I can see the stars in your eyes
When there's mortal fragility
And beautiful ability
There must be a reason
To why we all survive and feel this alive
Can it be that we all have a key to this universe?
I'm searching for a way to reach that height
A way to fly
Like a miracle, a miracle
Maybe when we leave it's a rise and not a fall
Is it possible, it seems so real?
I'm sure that I can see the stars in your eyes
Even as I know
To trust and let it go
I still fight it, fight it
And now I am alone
A feeling in my bones
I have no defense against this love
For it's a miracle, a miracle
Maybe when we leave it's a rise and not a fall
Is it possible, it seems so real?
I'm sure that I can see the stars in your eyes
It's a miracle, a miracle
See these patterns emerge of our love
It's incredible, so beautiful
The purpose of this love for it shines
kt tunstall - float
I'm gonna fall
Head first and fast like an avalanche
Maybe I'll land, maybe I'll crash
I'll take the chance
'Cause there's nothing but
Air in between me and everything
Nothing to keep me from flying aimlessly
Shamelessly laughing at destiny
And no one knows how high I go
Or what makes the atmosphere glow
I could follow the narrow road
Or maybe I'll let it all go
And just float
I'm gonna live
Headstrong and wild like a golden child
All of the while
I'll be taking each breath with a mile-wide smile
'Cause there's nothing but ground below
Why should I take it slow?
Status quo isn't so great
And I know I can light up the sky like a thunderbolt
And no one knows how high I go
Or what makes the atmosphere glow
I could follow the narrow road
But maybe I'll let it all go
And just float
I'll float, float
No one knows how high I go
Or what makes the atmosphere glow
I could follow the narrow road
But maybe I'll let it all go
And just float
I'll float, float
kt tunstall - uummannaq song
Hold your fire
Iâ??m coming out and Iâ??ll tell you the truth
I was trying to raise my roof
Did you see it
That I needed to prove
That my stinger always stays
You said sheâ??s beautiful when she plays
Did I hit you in the proper place
Suddenly
(Chorus 1)
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Before I head for home
Itâ??s my turn
With the spotlight burning a hole
But my bird-heartâ??s turning cold
As the temperature rises all around
To the sound of a ticking bomb
And then itâ??s not just showing off here
You know thereâ??s something going on
Going on here
Suddenly
(Chorus 2)
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Well I could live in this town
Before I head for home
And considered it odd
That I ever stayed
You know that feeling you get
when you donâ??t want to leave
That feeling when you donâ??t want to leave
(Chorus)
kt tunstall - boo hoo
If I was looking for you
Would you be easy to find?
Would I be looking all night?
And if I got lost
Would you go looking for me?
Or would you be alright
On your own?
Oh and in the light of day it feels right
Comfortable to the bone, from head to toe
But come the evening when the shadows fall
Well I call your name, but it's not the same
As having you here
Mmm?
If I was a second too late
Or a moment too soon
Or an hour too long
Tell me baby would you wait a bit longer?
I wonder if you could
Or would you be long gone?
Would you be alone?
Would you be alone?
Would you be alone?
Oh and in the light of day it feels right
Comfortable to the bone, from head to toe
But come the evening when the shadows fall
Well I call your name, but it's not the same
As having you here
As having you here
As knowing you're near
As feeling you there
As knowing you care
As whispering in your ear
As my hand through your hair
As knowing you're there
Oh and in the light of day it feels right
Comfortable to the bone, from head to toe
But come the evening when the shadows fall
Well I call your name, but it's not the same
As having you here
Mmm?
It's not the same
Mmm?
