Playlist Noah And The Whale

noah and the whale - 2 atoms in a molecule

Last night, I had a dream
We were inseparably entwined
Like a piece of rope made out of two pieces of vine
Held together, holding each other
With no one else in mind
Like two atoms in a molecule
Inseparably combined

But then I woke from the dream
To realise I was alone
A tragic event, I must admit
But let's not be overblown
I'm gonna try to ride a love song
Just a sad, pathetic moan
And maybe I just need change
Maybe I just need a new cologne

But now I look at love
Like being stabbed in the heart
You torture each other from day to day
And then one day you part
Most of the time it's misery
But there's some joy at the start
And for that, I'd say it's worth it
Just as you play the shortest sharp on me

And if love is just a game
Then how come it's no fun?
If love is just a game
How come I've never won?
I guess maybe it's possible I might be playing it wrong
And that's why every time I roll the dice
I always come undone

noah and the whale - 2 bodies 1 heart

Place your hands on my heart
Oh, I do believe it's beating at the same pulse as yours
But are two atoms and a molecule
Exactly to build a body
Like a piece of road
Made of two pieces of aim

Oh I feel bones
All between your heart and mine
And it's a bone that would break
With this placement, with time

'Cause we're just two bodies
With just one heart (2x)
There just one body that one day fell apart

Oh I'm only ever hoping
I can be there for you
In halloween or christmas
I've all become confused

And I will separate the demons
From the gift givens for you
Oh, I'll separate the angels
From the scary witches too

To protect the bones
That I feel between our hearts
Oh, 'cause bones can wear now
From the moment they're stucked

But we're just two bodies
With just one heart (2x)
There just one body that one day fell apart

noah and the whale - 5 years time

Oh in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I'll put my hand over your eyes, but you'll peek through

And there'll be sun sun sun
All over our bodies
And sun sun sun
All down my neck
Oh and sun sun sun
All over our faces
And sun sun sun
So what the heck

Cos we'll be laughing at each others silly little jokes
And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke
All those stupid little cigarettes
And drink stupid wine
Cos it's what we needed to have a good time

But it was fun fun fun
When we were drinking
It was fun fun fun
When we were drunk
And it was fun fun fun
When we were dancing
It was fun fun fun
Oh it was fun

Well then I look at you and say
This is the happiest that I've ever been
And I'll say I no longer feel I have to be James
Dean
And she'd say
Yeah well I feel pretty happy too
And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you

And it'll be
Love love love
All through our bodies
And love love love
All through our minds
And it'll be Love love love
All over her face
And Love love love
All over mine

And though its nearly all these moments are just in
my head
I'll be thinking about families and lying in bed
Even though I believe it may not even come true
But in my mind I'm having a pretty good time with you

Oh, five years time
I might not know you
In five years time
We might not speak at all
In five years time
We might not get along
In five years time
You might just prove me wrong

Oh, there'll be love, love, love
Where ever you go
There'll be love, love, love
Where ever you go
There'll be love, love, love
Where ever you go
There'll be love, love, love
Where ever you go

noah and the whale - beating

Don't build the castle
At your centre
Oh the heart can't love
What it can't remember
Be willing to be hurt
Oh be willing to be bruised
'Cos a heart that dosen't love
Is a heart that isn't used

Oh turn your love to life
Let your love shine through
In everything you do
Let your love shine through

Oh I thought I felt my heart beating
Well I thought I'd never know that feeling
Oh I thought I felt my heart beating
Well I thought I'd never know that feeling

Well my heart was like a cave
Now light shines in it
Oh to fall in love is brave
?
Oh my heart was like a stone
That barely moved
Oh my heart was like a magnet
Oh for hearts like yours

Oh turn your love to life
Let your love shine through
In everything you do
Let your love shine through

noah and the whale - blue skies

This is a song for anyone
With a broken heart
This is a song for anyone
Who can't get out of bed

I'll do anything
To be happy
Oh cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

This is the last song
That I write
While still in love with you

This is the last song
That I write
While you're even on my mind

Cause it's time to leave
Those feelings behind
Oh cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going
I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going

But blue skies are calling
Oh yeah blue skies are calling
Oh blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

noah and the whale - death by numbers

As our rotting bodies
Pay back the earth its love
In a vile fleshy matter
We'll crumble into dust
I'll be picked up by the wind
And blown into strangers eyes
Defuse into their bodies
And their tears when they cry
'Til I have 5000 people carry me
'Til I have 5000 people carry me

Oscar and Lucy
Will buy themselves a coffin
Oh a single box of wood
That, together, they will rot in
And their bodies will decay
And combine with one another
Oh a single act of love
Far greater than any other
And in death they'll leave just a part of them
Oh in death they'll leave one part of them

Oh when I'm minerals in the soil
I'll diffuse into a tree
It'll have 5000 brances
Which will have 5000 leaves
And I'll be in every one
Oh and when a leaf blows free
I will land upon the earth
And grow another tree
'Til I have 5000 trees made of me
'Til there are 5000 trees made of me

When Darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see
When Darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see
When Darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see
When Darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see

I will have 5000 bodies
I will have 5000 trees
Which will have 5000 branches
Which will have 5000 leaves
And I will have 5000 lovers
And I'll have 5000 bees
Made of me

noah and the whale - do what you do

There's a pleasure
We must all feel
And it's a pleasure I know
Of losing your heart
And then letting love grow

What can I say
Any simpler
That now is all there is
That you're free to be any person
And you're all that you give

'Cause my bones were made in the womb
And now the brains are leaving my tomb
And every piece will be consumed
By the love my heart endured

But if you do
What you do
Yeah, you'll do fine
Yeah, if you do
What you do
Yeah, well, you'll do fine

Oh, and when love comes a-calling
Don't forget the tune
And when love comes a-calling
Don't forget the tune
And just do what you do

Oh, and the ones who taught you how to live
Oh, they know no more than you
So if you trust what's in your heart
Oh, what better can you do
Than if you do what you do
Yeah, you'll do fine

noah and the whale - girlfriend in a coma

Oh well girlfriend in a coma,
I know
I know
It's really serious

Oh well girlfriend in a coma,
I know
I know
It's really serious

Oh there were times when I could have murdered her
You know I'd hate anything to happen to her

No, i don't want to see her
Do you really think that she'll pull through?
Do you really think that she'll pull through?

Oh well girlfriend in a coma,
I know
I know
It's really serious

Oh well girlfriend in a coma,
I know
I know
It's really serious

Oh there were times when I could have strangled her
You know I'd hate anything to happen to her

No, i don't want to see her
Do you really think that she'll pull through?
Do you really think that she'll pull through?
Do you really think that she'll pull through?
Do you really think that she'll pull through?

noah and the whale - give a little love

Well I know my death will not come
'Til I breathe all the air out my lungs
'Til my final tune is sung
That all is fleeting
Yeah, but all is good
And my love is my whole being
And I've shared what I could
But if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart
Yeah if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart

Well my heart is bigger than the earth
And though life is what gave it love first
Life is not all that it's worth
'Cause life is fleeting
Yeah, but I love you
And my love surrounds you like an ether
In everything that you do
But if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart
Yeah if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart
Yeah if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart
Yeah if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart

Well if you are (what you love)
And you do (what you love)
I will always be the sun and moon to you
And if you share (with your heart)
Yeah, you give (with your heart)
What you share with the world is what it keeps of you

noah and the whale - give it all back

Oh well the world never seemed bigger
Than the summer of '98
Living out in the suburbs
Planning my escape
I grew my hair to my shoulders
Formed a band with a couple of friends
And we called ourselves The Devils Playhouse
Influences like Bruce and the band

And we'd sing and play
Simple three chord rock and roll
And miles away
The other kids would just grow old
But we're making our own way out
Yeah we're making our own way out

Well we'd practice every week in my bedroom
While my parents were working in town
And one morning in our school assembly
Played a cover of "Don't Let Me Down"
The performance was nervous and awkward
But the passion was real and profound
And the kids in the audience laughing
While the band just looked at the ground

But the victory
For the kids who believe in rock and roll
I know for me
That performance lives, it never grows old
But we're making our own way out
Yeah we're making our own way out

Well I'd give it all back just to do it again
Yeah I'd turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time and be with my friends
Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again
Turn back time, be with my friends

noah and the whale - hold my hands as i m lowered

Hold my hand as I'm lowered
And please don't see me as a coward
For death, I do not forsake thee
Though your dark stare is always upon me

Well, I fell in love with a world in you
Well, I fell in love with a world in you

O Death, do not feel like the victor
'Cause my poor life makes you none the richer
Oh, your cold hands are clutching at cloth
I leave nothing on Earth that won't rot

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
Well, I fell in love with the world in you

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
And now I feel cold

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
And now I feel holier

noah and the whale - i have nothing

Well, i have nothing
I have no one
I've been so quickly set free
And i love nothing
I love no one
Are words that you whisper in my mind, to someone
I don't know
To someone i don't know
To someone

So walk with me
On this new spring morning
I'll walk you 'till your fears are none
I'm a new baby weeping
I'm the flower you're keeping
That without love will wilt and die

I need your life in my life
Need your life in my life
Need your life

So come back to me
My darling
Come back to me
My darling

I'd do anything to be at your side
I'd be anyone to be at your side
I need your life in my life
Need your light in my life
Need your light

noah and the whale - if i die tonight

Well if i die tonight, well you hated me
Would you say you love me at my wake
And if i die tonight, in my car
You'd stare at the stars, and think of me

Oh well if my death was beautiful
would that make our love beautiful?
Well if i died in flames
would your heart do the same for me

Oh what would i do, without you
I'll sing what would i do, without you
I'd be lost.

Well if i died and left a broken soul
it would leave a hole, in your life
Well if i died and left you with no one
Would you stare at the sun and think of me

Well i wrote a million love songs for you
And everyone of them says i love you
And i meant it from the heart
Yeah everyone of those words was true
about you

Oh what would i do, without you
I'll sing what would i do, without you
Oh what would i do, without you
I'll sing what would i do, without you
I'd be lost.

noah and the whale - jealous kind of love

A love that makes you blue,
Is a love that isn't true.
The only love I knew,
Was a jealous kind of love

Oh, a jealous kind of love,
Oh, a jealous kind of love.
You know what I'm thinking of,
Its just a jealous kind of love.

A love that makes you sad
Is a love that must be bad.
The only love I've had,
Is a jealous kind of love.

A jealous kind of love,
A jealous kind of love
You know what I'm thinking of,
Its just a jealous kind of love.

noah and the whale - jocasta

When the babies born
Oh, let's turn it to the snow
So that ice will surely grow
Over weak and brittle bones
Oh, let's leave it to the wolves
Oh, their teeth turn it to food
Oh, its flesh keeps them alive
Oh, its death helps life survive
Oh, the world can be kind in its own way

Oh well your future's a machine
With the mechanics of a dream
It is your mind that spins the wheel
And your heart that makes you feel
All the guilt for all your sins
Oh and as that wheel spins
Oh well it plays as they believed
And for your husband you have grieved

Oh the world
Still decieves you as it turns
Well in my weakest moments I could see
Oh that the heart may be
The weakest part of me

Oh and the moon controls
The movements of the tide
Oh but it has no weight on the movements of my mind

noah and the whale
