Be Our Guest lyrics - Jamie Cullum (feat. Eric Cantona)

Ma chère Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents: your dinner!

Be our guest! Be our guest!
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we'll provide the rest

Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes

They can sing, they can dance
After all, Miss, this is France
And a dinner here is never second best
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest!

Beef ragout
Cheese soufflé
Pie and pudding, en flambé
We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret!
You're alone
And you're scared
But the banquet's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining
We tell jokes! I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks

And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be our guest
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest

Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
Get your worries off your chest
Let us say for your entree
We've an array; may we suggest:
Try the bread! Try the soup!
When the croutons loop de loop
It's a treat for any dinner
Don't belive me? Ask the china
Singing pork! Dancing veal!
What an entertaining meal!
How could anyone be gloomy and depressed?
We'll make you shout "encore!"
And send us out for more
So, be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!

Life is so unnerving
For a servant who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ah, those good old days when we were useful...
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Ten years we've been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills!
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!

Be our guest! Be our guest!
Our command is your request
It's been years since we've had anybody here
And we're obsessed
With your meal, with your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you, we'll keep going

Course by course, one by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Please, be our guest!

Jamie Cullum lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Bring out all the old decorations
Some of them, they're older than us
To my new neighbours, I say salutation
Come shelter in here from the dust
Take your cellphone off of the table
And look your father straight in the eye
Could this stranger become an angel?
Could the winter brighter your sky?

Somebody, hold out their hand
Well, somebody, count off the band
Come on, let's light up the town
And, Christmas, don't let me down

Well, the bars are stuffed to the rafters
And all the children lie awake in their beds
But can ya fill up the houses with laughter?
Shall we dance and honour our dead?

Somebody, hold out their hand
Well, somebody, count off the band
Come on, let's light up the town
And, Christmas, don't let me down

Well, another Christmas Eve is upon us
Can we go gentle into that cold, cold night
Well, I know you can't grant all my wishes
Yet I pray for the world to be kind

Now, hold out your hand
Well, somebody, count off the band
Come on, let's light up the town
And, Christmas, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Don't Give Up On Me lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Well, I struggle for perfection
When there's moonlight in the flaws
Well, I'm dazzled by projections
Going deeper into loss

You can close your ears and lock the doors
And never let the hope in
But don't shut out the truth, because
Love only gets in when you're open

Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me

Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Like you can't let go?
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Oh, you can't let go

So come on and let me reach out
And let's use these days for living
When I fall asleep I dream now
How far that I was drifting

Well it's only now I realize
To bloom, you must be broken
But don't shut out the truth, because
Love only gets in when you're open

Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me

Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Like you can't let go?
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Oh, you can't let go

You can close your ears and lock the doors
And never let the hope in
But don't shut out the truth, because
Love only gets in

When you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Like you can't let go?
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Oh, you can't let go

Don't give up on me

Every Night lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(originally by Paul McCartney)

Every night, I just want to go out
Get out of my head
Every day, I don't want to get up
Get out of my bed
Every night, I want to play out
And every day, I want to do
But tonight I just want to stay in and be with you, ooh
And be with you

Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-hoo-ooh, mm-hmmh
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-hooh, mm-hmmh

Every day, I lean on a lamp post
I'm wasting my time
Every night, I lay on a pillow
I'm resting my mind
Every morning brings a new day
And every night, that day is through
But tonight I just want to stay in and be with you, ooh
And be with you

Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-ooh, mm-hmmh, believe me mama
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh, ah
Oo-ooh, mm-hmmh
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-hoo-ooh, mm-hmmh

Give Me The Simple Life lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(from "Meet The Robinsons" soundtrack)

One two, a one two three four

I don't believe in frettin' or grievin'
Why mess around with strife?
Guess I was cut out to step up and strut out
Give me the simple life

It must be pleasant dining on pheasant
Using the proper knife
I want tomatoes and mashed potatoes
Give me the simple life

Cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
Ah, that brings the joy and laughter
With the ones that you love inside

You take the high road, I'll take the low road
Free from all care and strife
Sounds corny and seedy, oh yes, indeed
Give me the simple life

A cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
A house that brings the joy and laughter
With the ones that you love inside

You take the high road, I'll take the low road
Free from all care and strife
Sounds corny and seedy, oh yes, indeed
Give me the simple life, give me the simple life

This Winter lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I don't wanna build a snowman
The only man I need is right here
I don't wanna drag any tree
You see, I only want to decorate you, dear

I've only one intention
That I'm gonna pursue
'Cause this winter
My only plan is to love you

You won't find me stuck on the highway
'Cause I'm swerving off the road to your home
Navigating Bay Brightstone
So never again will you be alone

Nothing on my schedule
Is under review
'Cause this winter
My only plan is to love you

No need for sleighbells or trumpets or drums
We'll find a river to skate away on
So come on, all ye faithless
Love all over town

I'm homin' in on one devotion
I dreamt about this all year long
I've got to simplify my aim
So I'll wrap you in my arms, where it's warm

All your other lovers
Can get in a queue
'Cause this winter
My only plan is to kiss you
My only plan is to hold you
My only plan is to love you

Where Is Your Heart At? lyrics - Jamie Cullum

(from "Meet The Robinsons" soundtrack)

You asked me over, and over and over
Have you seen my peacock feathered hat
If it was under a four leaf clover
I'd be on the lawn lookin' for that

Where is your heart at? Nobody knows that
Even though you, him, her, me and then I'll be searching

I've got a feeling you will be reeling
When you are bad and the circus comes to town
And you'll see me leaving dressed up
As a magician or something like that

You're sad and flip-flops are hidden in the
Pockets of your velvet dressing gown
Your diamond cuff lings are hidden in the
Ruffles of your silk white shirt from town

Where is your heart at? Nobody knows that
Even though you, him, her, me and then I'll be searching

I've got a feeling, you will be reeling
When you are bad and the circus comes to town
And you'll see me leaving dressed up
As a magician or something like that, hey

Don't You Know lyrics - Jamie Cullum


Well, don't you know, baby
Well, don't you know baby
Now don't you know baby
Little girl, little girl, don't you know
Please listen to me baby
Girl, I'm in love with you so

Now turn your lamp down low
I said turn your lamp down low
Wooo, turn your lamp down low
And turn your lamp down low
Come on baby
Girl I'm in love with you so

Now I know I've been away
For such a long time
But now baby
I can't get you off of my mind
So come on now baby,
Come on, come on now baby
Listen to me baby
Love your daddy all night long

Now if you love me
Like I love you
We can do all the things that we
Used to do
So come on, come on, come on now baby
Now baby come on
Love your daddy all night long

Have you heard baby
I'm back in town
Let's mess around
See what he's puttin down
Come on now baby
Come on, come on now, child
Come on, come on now, baby
Love your daddy all night long

So turn your lamp down low
Cause I love you so
Baby, baby please come on
Baby, baby please come on
Now you give me talking with me, baby
Love your daddy all night long


The Seer's Tower lyrics - Jamie Cullum

In the tower above the earth,
There is a view that reaches far
Where we see the universe,
I see the fire, I see the end.

Seven miles above the earth,
There is Emmanuel of mothers.
With his sword, with his robe,
He comes dividing man from brothers.

In the tower above the earth, we built it for Emmanuel.
In the powers of the earth, we wait until it rips and rips.
In the tower above the earth, we built it for Emmanuel.
Oh my mother, she betrayed us, but my father loved and bathed us.

Still I go to the deepest grave,
Where I go to sleep alone

Walkin' lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I'm walkin' out the door with you on my mind
I'm walkin' out the door with you on my mind
But every step away from you, I feel like cryin'

I walked into the street, talkin' to myself
I walked into the street, talkin' to myself
No matter what my conscience says, I'm thinkin' 'bout nobody else

I met a brand new girl, phone to make a date
I met a brand new girl, phone to make a date
But when I rang her number up, but I got your number by mistake

You say you love me, baby, don't know what to do
You say you love me, baby, don't know what to do
I'm sure of one thing, I'm in love with you

Good Morning Heartache lyrics - Jamie Cullum (feat. Laura Mvula)

Good morning, heartache, you ole gloomy sight
Good morning, heartache, thought we'd said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed 'til it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn

Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems I met you, when my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Good morning, heartache, what's new?

Stop haunting me now,
I can't shake you, no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues

Good morning, heartache, here we go again
Good morning, heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hangin' around
Good morning, heartache, sit down

Stop haunting me now
I can't shake you, no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues

Good morning, heartache, here we go again
Good morning, heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hangin' around
Good morning, heartache, sit down



Sack O' Woe lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Always screaming 'cause I'm suffering so
Life's done never such a terrible blow
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe

Misery, company and I'm feeling low
Trouble follows me wherever I go
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe

Trouble, one thing I understands
Seems to be a part of me
Misery and me go hand in hand
Never ever let me be

Sure as I'm born, one thing I know
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe

Always screaming 'cause I'm suffering so
Life's done never such a terrible blow
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe

Misery, company and I'm feeling low
Trouble follows me wherever I go
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe

Trouble, one thing I understands
Seems to be a part of me
Misery and me go hand in hand
Never ever let me be

Sure as I'm born, one thing I know
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe



Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood lyrics - Jamie Cullum (feat. Gregory Porter) (originally by Nina Simone)

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understand me, understand me...

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems again that all I have do is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Because I love you
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some little foolish thing some simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understand me, understand me...
Understand me...
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood


My One And Only Love lyrics - Jamie Cullum

The very thought of you makes
My heart sing,
Like an April breeze
On the wings of spring
And you come to me all your splendor,
My one and only love

You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own

You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own

You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love



Lovesick Blues lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I'm in love,
I'm in love,
I'm in love with a girl,
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love,
I'm in love, with a beautiful girl,
But she don't care about me
To make her love me I tried,
How I sighed and I cried
But she just refused
And ever since she's gone away,
I've got them lovesick blues
I've got the feeling called the "blue hoo's,"
since my baby said "Good Bye"
Seems I don't know what to "Do Hoo"
All day long I sit and cry
That last long day we spent alone
But I'm yearning for it yet
She thrilled me, filled me,
with a kind of lovin',
that I will never forget,
the way she called me sweet daddy
It was just a beautiful dream
I hate to think that it's all over
I lost my heart it seems
Cause I got so used to her somehow
But I'm no body's baby now
Gee it's awful when you're lonesome
and get those lovesick blue-oo-oo-oo-oo's
I got the feeling called the blue-oo-oo-oo-oo's
since my baby said "Good Bye"
I hate to think it's all over
All day long I sit and cry
That last long day we spent alone
I'm yearning for it yet
She thrilled me, filled me,
with a kind of lovin',
I will never forget,
I got the lovesick blues...



Losing You lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Was a fool with my money
And I lost every dime
Sun stopped shining
And it rained all the time
Did set me back some
I made it through
But I'll never get over losing you

Do you know how much you mean to me?
Should've told you 'what it's true
I'd get over losing anything
But I'll never get over losing you

When you're young
And there's time
To forget the past
You won't think that time
But you will
I know that I don't have time enough
Cause I'll never get over losing you

I've been cold
I've been hungry
But not for awhile
I guess most of my dreams have come true
With it all here around me
No peace do I find
'Cause I'll never get over losing you
No, I'll never get over losing you


Out Of This World lyrics - Jamie Cullum

You're clear out of this world
When I'm looking at you
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew

You're right out of a book
The fairy tale I read when I was so high
No armored knight out of a book
With more enchanted Loralie then I

After waiting so long for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
All at once from a long and lonely night time
And despite time, here you are

I cry, out of this world
If you said we were through
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you

You're right out of a book
The fairy tale I read when I was so high
No armored knight out of a book
With more enchanted Loralie then I

After waiting so long for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
All at once from a long and lonely night time
And despite time, here you are

I cry, out of this world
If you said we were through
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you


Make Someone Happy lyrics - Jamie Cullum

It's so important to make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy.
Make just one heart to heart you, you sing to

One smile that cheers you.
One face that lights when it nears you.
One girl your - your everything to

Fame, if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minutes
Where's the real stuff in life, to cling to?

Love is the answer.
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her,
Build your world around her.

Make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy.
And you will be happy too.

The Same Things lyrics - Jamie Cullum

In oversharing times
Under some weary skies
Forgotten how to try
Everything you say sounds like a lie

The fog that greets the man
As old as time began
Is no more clearer now
I think we understand even less somehow

The bottle green of the water on the streets
It's climbing higher and higher in defeat
We never drown cause we keep kicking our feet
So rally all of your friends cause they're your fleet

It's just the same things that we don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things
It's just the same things that we don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things

What is a truthful state
Is it one you create?
A boat you built for sea
All you need now is some company

I no longer share my bed
With anyone who said
"So I enjoyed your show
Now you can tell me where you want to go"

I wish the chaos could swirl right out of me
So who's cut out for this world that you can see?
If I was trying I'd never make the team
Just making peace with my fickle hopes and dreams

It's just the same things that I don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's just the same things
It's just the same things that I don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things

You paint the picture of future memories
Then mod a fire with sticks and dirty leaves
So grab a hold of the only one who sees
And see it clearly you're never gonna be

It's just the same things that I don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's just the same things
It's just the same things that I don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things
It's just the same things, oh
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things
It's just the same things, just the same things, just the same things
It's just the same things that we don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things



Edge Of Something lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I've got some ways of forgetting now
What you're finding out, what you're finding out
I've got some ways of believing now
What you're leaving out, what you're leaving out
So take a reach down inside your soul
What you gonna find, what you gonna find
And it's so deep down inside your soul
What you leave behind, what you leave behind
I can hear it calling
Can't you tell?

I'm on the edge of something
So I just keep running every time
I lose my head
I'm on the edge of something
So I just keep falling every time
I lose my head

Are there some secrets embedded down
In the frozen ground, in the frozen ground
Under a cold moon and a fractured sky
There's a universe there behind those eyes
You're gonna make good on promises
That you know you could, that you know you could
Cause no one here worships suddenness
Though you wish they would, though you wish they would
I can hear it calling
Can't you tell?

I'm on the edge of something
So I just keep running every time
I lose my head
I'm on the edge of something
So I just keep falling every time
I lose my head

I don't need a vision I'm just waiting on collisions of the brain and the heart
I'm patient for decisions and some stormy revelations I can claim from the start
I'm kicking up a storm
In the valley I was born
I can hear the tower ring
Out here on the edge of something

I'm on the edge of something
So I just keep running every time
I lose my head
I'm on the edge of something
So I just keep falling every time
I lose my head



Everything You Didn't Do lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I will meet you in the city
When it’s lit up by the stars
In the moonlight we’re all pretty
Cos it papers over scars

Ever feel like you belong
To a story you ain’t heard
Doesn’t matter if it’s your song
And you don’t know all the words

[Chorus:]
We should put up a sign
We are citizens of all you can see
We’ve got nothing but time
Cos you’ll find
Everything you didn’t do [x2]
Is standing right in front of you

A euphoric combination
Of a thousand dirty hands
There’s no need for complication
On the shoulders we will stand

It’s a patient exploration
Where discovery is free
There’s no need for explanations
We exists where we can see

[Chorus]

I don’t even know what to say about every little thing
Cos I’m tired and I want to go to sleep
It’s so clear now [x6]
That you’ll find
Everything you didn’t do [x4]
Is standing right in front of you

When I Get Famous lyrics - Jamie Cullum

There's diamonds hiding in my hands
They're gonna cut through the windows
Ain't no one messing with my plans
Right now my star is in limbo
Sit back and watch my scrawny frame
Invade your feelings
All the years you caused me pain
I've got some wounds that need healing

Well you were just too damn aloof
Wearing your Morrissey t-shirt
The kind of girl that's born for youth
Well that's a blessing and some curse
I tell you son beware of those
Who peak too early
Cause all that magic can't be froze
And now it's you who ain't worthy

So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh oh oh
You never really knew me

Does it make sense to simplify
Now we're knotted in riddles
But I don't care, do you know why
The girls are falling like skittles
Whoever said you needed rights
To tame your beauty
I'll say goodbye to lonely nights
Girls form an orderly queue please

So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh oh oh
You never really knew me

So given knowledge, given time
I'd take us out of recession
I'd tell the world that all was fine
And that there freedom's a blessing
Cause when I'm looking from the top
You'll all seem smaller
Ain't that what all us humans want?
To stand that little bit taller

So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh oh oh
You never really knew me
[x5]


Love For $ale lyrics - Jamie Cullum (feat. Roots Manuva)

Love, love for sale
Appetizing young love, love for sale
If you wanna buy my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale

Who, who will buy?
Who would like to sample my, sample my supply?
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
Love that's only slightly soiled
Love, young love for sale

Let the poets pipe of love
In their childish way
I've been through the mill of love
Better far than they

If you want a thrill of love,
I've been through the mill of love
Old love, new love
Anything but true love

Love, young love for sale
Appetizing young love, young love for sale
If you wanna pay the price,
For a trip to paradise
It's love, it's love for sale

[Roots Manuva]
Task master gimme that raw uncut love
Flying the dove higher than high
He never come down
We illin' ready to stick that neck out
Switcher get sticky now we get the heck out
All grown up now with a feeling for the deepness
Restless, looking for a brand new outlook
Paradise without, paradise within
The devil's design is enticing things
He without sin may frown on us.
Keep schtum mate, take it to the ground and such
Its nobody's business to be in the business
You can have it all just put it on your wish list
All becomes fair in love and war
Less becomes more, more becomes less
When you fight for your right to do for love
Ain't a thing that we won't do for love
Short term part time dancing on the timeline.
Defy definition with the ultimate position of
Karma Sutra, suit yourself
Pick up a love gun and shoot yourself
Feels so good to wanna die for love
Whatever the reason what type of love
Quick love, slow love, never gonna know love
Shame on you, we could make a home
Second to none and jump the outdone
Beat your chest 'cause you's a love champion!

If you wanna pay the price,
For a trip to paradise
It's love, it's love for sale
Young love for sale
Young love, young love for sale
Young love, young love, young love for sale
Young love, young love for sale
Young love for sale

Pure Imagination lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
What you'll find
When you look
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
Living there
You will see
What you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
Nothing to it

There is no
Life I know
That compares to
Pure imagination
What you'll find
When you look
Into your imagination

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
Nothing to it

There is no
Life I know
That compares to
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

Anyway lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Two bit philosopher with pointless proclamations on his t-shirt
Holding it together through a futuristic world that can't be much worse

What did you say, what did you do, what did you lose
You know that love ain't gonna make itself
Sleep through the day, nothing to prove, how do you choose
With all the colours taken off the shelf

I ain't gonna mind read, mind read
Cut me I will still bleed, still bleed
Cause when you've burned through the lies
All the jokes, all the rhymes
No one's gonna stop you from falling

Thought I'd do it anyway, cause there's nothing left for us to say
Thought I'd do it anyway, cause there's nothing left for us to say
I know I shouldn't - but I did it anyway
Cause there's nothing left for us to say
Thought I'd do it anyway, cause there's nothing left for us to say

Always remember that the terrorists of time, well they ain't friendly
All those decisions baby, their empty sound rings so profoundly

Summers they ache, summers they break, summers they waste
Your empty body of the bitter tears
You've run around, chasing a sound, you've never found
That kept you going through the leaner years

Patience ain't a virtue, virtue
Dreamers can't hurt you, hurt you
Cause if you live through it all
May as well lose it all
Nothing's gonna stop you from falling

Thought I'd do it anyway, cause there's nothing left for us to say
Thought I'd do it anyway, cause there's nothing left for us to say

I'm gonna tell you one more time
I'm gonna tell you one more time

Thought I'd do it anyway, cause there's nothing left for us to say
Thought I'd do it anyway, cause there's nothing left for us to say
Thought I'd do it anyway, cause there's nothing left for us to say
I know I shouldn't - but I did it anyway
Cause there's nothing left for us to say


Sad, Sad World lyrics - Jamie Cullum

So let it fall
When it meets you on the other side baby
Let it fall
We're all prisoners in a simple mind baby
Let it fall
You can grip my arm to pass the time baby
Let it fall, yeah

Will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world
Will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world

Your lashes dancing making my aching heart sing
The lights are flashing stirring up all this feeling
My hands are burning every time I'm touching your face
Let me surround you with all the love that you deserve
The dawn'll tell you of everything that you are worth
The blood it runs through everything we know of our fate

So let it fall
When it meets you on the other side baby
Let it fall
We're all prisoners in a simple mind baby
Let it fall
You can grip my arm to pass the time baby
Let it fall, yeah

Will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world
Will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world

So will you help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world
So come and help me paint a smile
On this sad, sad world



Take Me Out (Of Myself) lyrics - Jamie Cullum

There was an age the battered times
Were coiled up around you like a diamond cage
Though your sparkle's long resigned
It flickers like the embers of a dying blaze
These might be the last days of the blinding lights
So you and me should go and get so high tonight

Take me, take me, take me
Take me out of myself
You and me should go and get so high tonight
Just like everyone else

Take me, take me, take me
Take me out of myself
You and me should go and get so high tonight
Just like everyone else

We crossed the line so many times
It's nothing more than chalk wiped off a darkened wall
Speeding through those crystal nights
Clearly punctuated by some bloody falls
What used to seem so magical now seems so trite
So one more time let's go and get so high tonight

Take me, take me, take me
Take me out of myself
You and me should go and get so high tonight
Just like everyone else

Take me, take me, take me
Take me out of myself
You and me should go and get so high tonight
Just like everyone else

You and me should go and get so high tonight
You and me should go and get so high tonight

Take me, take me, take me
Take me out of myself
You and me should go and get so high tonight
Just like everyone else

Take me, take me, take me
Take me out of myself
You and me should go and get so high tonight
Just like everyone else

Just like everyone else



Save Your Soul lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Know this, it's a universal truth
People let you down
So reach out for the things that you can use
Buried in the ground

I think I've been misunderstood
Not all my choices have been good
In the fading light
So we should put this one to bed
Before it bursts out of my head
Ready for the fight

So when it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
So when it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here

Inside of another tiny life
Full of big ideas
It strikes me with the baggage left behind
I could dry those tears

All of my secrets they are free
Now watch them tumble out of me
Into better days
So save those homiletic tones
And conjure singing from the moans
And you'll hear me say

So when it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here

So step away from castle walls
Those voices calling in the halls
They are moving on
So I'll keep my side of the street
Cleaner than where our pounding feet
Ever walked upon

So when it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here

When it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here


Get A Hold Of Yourself lyrics - Jamie Cullum

As I sit and wait for some answers
The questions go round like a Kamikaze pilot
Enlightenment's just a romancer
I wish it were here burning brightly though the skylight

Get a hold of yourself
Get a hold of yourself, now boy
Get a hold of yourself
Get a hold of yourself, now

If everyone here is invited
I'm more in the dark than I ever even guessed
Should I cling on to something solid
I wish it were here dressed up in its Sunday best

Get a hold of yourself
Get a hold of yourself, now boy
Get a hold of yourself
Get a hold of yourself, now

Get a hold of yourself,
Get a hold of yourself,
It's time to get a hold of yourself,
Get a hold of yourself, now


You're Not The Only One lyrics - Jamie Cullum

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


Comes Love lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Comes a rainstorm, get your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snow-storm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done.

Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tire, you can buy another sure
Comes love, nothing can be done.

Don't try hiding cause there isn't any use
You start sliding when your heart turns on the juice

Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done.

Comes a heat-wave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes the summer, you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done.

Comes the measles, you can quarrantine the room
Comes a mousy, you can chase it with the broom
Comes love, nothing can be done.

That's all brother, if you've ever been in love
That's all, brother, you know what I'm speaking of

Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done.

Just One Of Those Things lyrics - Jamie Cullum

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


I'm All Over It lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Hello Innocence
Though it seems like we've been friends for years
I'm finishing
How I wish I had never begun
Though it should be the last one
And it's dragging me down to my knees
Where I'm begging you please

Let me go
Don't you know

I'm all over it now
And I can't say how glad I am about that
I'm all over it now
Cause I worked and I cursed and I tried
And I said I could change and I lied
Well there's something still moves me inside

She's a melody
That I've tried to forget but I can't
It still follows me
When I wake in the dead of the night
And I know that I can't fight
That song going round in my head
Like the last things you said

Please don't go
You think I know

I'm all over it now
And I can't say how glad I am about that
I'm all over it now
Cause I worked and I cursed and I cried
And I said I could change but I lied
Well there's something still moves me inside

No I won't come back
No I won't come back
No I won't come back
No I won't come back

One dark morning
She left without a warning
And took the red-eye back to London town

I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now

I'm all over it now
And I can't say how glad I am about that
I'm all over it now
Cause I worked and I cursed and I've cried
And I said I would change but I lied
Yeah there's something still moves me inside


Wheels lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Everyday you live a life so full of hope
Shouldn't drag your soul around you like a leather vogue
You remember everything you thought your life would be
Well its fallin through the craks of ancient history

Oh, Is this something that I never, something that I never had
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that I never had
Tell you what I've heard
The wheels are falling off, the wheels are falling off the world

Friday night and everything is a ok
We are living like we've always known a different way
We are taking on our different roads before our goal
It'll bring you back around to the one you know

Oh, Is this something that I never, something that I never had
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that I never had
Tell you what I've heard
The wheels are falling off, the wheels are falling off the world



If I Ruled The World lyrics - Jamie Cullum

If I ruled the world,
Every day would be the first day of spring.
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
and we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

If I ruled the world,
Every man would be as free as a bird.
Every voice would be a voice to be heard,
take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.

My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams.
My world would wear a smile on its face,
like the man and the moon has, when the moon beams.

[piano solo]

If I ruled the world,
Every man would see the world was his friend. Yeah
There'd be happiness that no man could end,
no my friend, not if I ruled the world.

Every hand would be held up high,
There'd be sunshine in everyones sky.
If the day ever dawned,
will I rule the world.

Every hand would be held up high,
Every star would shine in everyones sky.
If the day ever dawned,
will I rule the world.


You And Me Are Gone lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Every time I see what's written on your mind
I turn away and drop my guard
Your high horse will be the leader of the blind
Tender love and truth aside
I'm in possession of so many tones
I loved it all my life
Feel the rhythm in your very bones
I never sleep at night.

You and me are gone
You and me are gone
Winter's bitter song
You and me are gone, gone away.

Truthfully I've got the most upper hand
I never seem to finish lovin'
You train your eye and force yourself to make a stand
When it dies a warmer stuffing
Lose yourself and on the edge of reason
Teenage ears so drown
Even I don't know what I am feeling
Lost you til I'm found.

You and me are gone
You and me are gone
Winter's bitter song
You and me are gone, gone away.

Yeah...

See the joyous pro's have left my tongue
For other warmer things,
Battle songs are written to be sung
A million toxic lies.

You and me are gone
You and me are gone
You and me are gone
You and me are gone
You and me are gone
You and me are gone


Don't Stop The Music lyrics - Jamie Cullum

[Rihanna cover]

It's gettin late
I'm making my way over to my favorite place
I gotta get my body moving
shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate (yeah)

Who knew,
That you'd be up here looking like you do
You're making staying over here impossible
Baby I must say your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go, don't

Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dancefloor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
And now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

Baby are you ready cause it's getting close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode
What goes on between us no one has to know
This is a private show (oh)

Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dancefloor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
And now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

(Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music)


Love Ain't Gonna Let You Down lyrics - Jamie Cullum

[VERSE 1:]
Everyone knows that I'm rightfully yours
So bring out your dirt from your previous wars
So lay thee to rest 'cause I'm chasing away
all the dust that you're Leaving behind

[CHORUS:]
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more

'Cause I'll turn your world around
and love ain't gonna let you down

[VERSE 2:]
You wear your heart like a brooch for all to see
But the blood that pumps through
So will you save that for me
I've sweetened my tongue
And I've sharpened my words and my wit
And I've written my lines

[CHORUS:]
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more

'Cause I'll turn your world around
and love ain't gonna let you down

[BRIDGE:]
Feel it burning like a bomb raging a thousand summers grazing
on your skin restlessly anticipating so many tiny things
[etc...]

[CHORUS]


Mixtape lyrics - Jamie Cullum

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


I Think I Love lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I think I love
every single little crack on your face
I think I love
even our most casual embrace
You don't have to try
Cause I've made up my mind
Baby, I think I love you today

Remember that time
you threw a can of beer at me like a stone
You drunk too much wine
and threw up in the taxi cab on the way home
You looked like a mess
But I must confess
Baby, I think I love you today

When I think what we could do
If I could only say to you, yeah
All of these things,
well do I dare
and would you care?

I think I love
everytime you honor me with a kiss
I think I love
well, there are just a million things I could list
Should let you know
but maybe tomorrow
Baby, I think I love you today

We Run Things lyrics - Jamie Cullum

We run things another way,
We run things another way,
Getting love if you can love (yeah)
Getting love if you can love (yeah)
Nothing left for you to say,
Trouble melts and ridence stays,
Don't stop 'coz it's getting tense now.

We run things another way,
We run things another way,
I draw a face on a dartboard (yeah)
I wear it out like a record (yeah)
Tierd eyes an' razor blades,
Tearing through a radio wave,
Don't stop 'coz it's getting tense now

'Coz I'm trying to hold on to something, Yeahh,
'Coz if you let me,
I'll show ya
I'll do it, can ya' hear it?
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things, another way.

We run things another way,
We run things another way,
Get on top 'coz I'm falling (yeah)
I never stop with your calling (yeah)
I shiver now I feel the raise,
I batter time and wasted days,
Don't stop if ya wanna tense now

'Coz I'm trying to hold on to something, Yeahh,
'Coz if you let me,
I'll show ya
I'll do it, can ya' hear it?
We run things another way,
We run things,
I'm trying to hold on to something, yeah,
'Coz if you let me,
I'll show ya
I'll do it, can ya' hear it?
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things, another way.



Not While I'm Around lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna hurt you, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry,
whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

...

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Music Is Through lyrics - Jamie Cullum

If you wanna get with me
Then you've gotta pin me down
Cover everything you see,
In the sweat that I could drown

Watch it fall and let it die,
The rain will cut you open now
All the words are plagiarised,
They crystallise your tears somehow

If you look like you wann, baby I don't
Mind if I do
Girl I got your number,
Call you when the music is through
If you look like you wanna, baby I don't
Mind if I do
Girl I've got your number,
Call you when the music is through

If you wanna fuck with me,
Lord you'll never bring me down
All the things you never see,
In the sweat I could drown

If you wanna fuck with me,
Then you gotta get me down
All the things you never see,
In the sweat I could drown

If you look like you wanna,
Baby I don't mind if Id do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through
If you look like you wanna, baby I don't
Mind if I do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through

If you wanna get with me,
Then you've gotta pin me down
Everything you see's for free,
In the sweat I could drown

If you look like you wanna,
Baby I don't mind if I do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through
If you look like you wanna,
Baby I don't mind if I do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through


I Love This lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Every single part of me
Is full of possibilities
My tired eyes are blinking in the glare
If you and I should make out too
We’re drunk and have to both come up for air

Rolled up socks and empty hall
Will a game called football
Only goal I ever really scored
The truth is I can climb a tree
Joked about our history
And Melanie

[Chorus:]
I love this better than anything
I love this – everything falls apart
Can you mend my broken heart
Cause I love this

Where we are survivors roll
The tiny bets we pay a toll
Every single second of the youth
It’s just another secret in
The rusty confused version of the truth

I’ll put it in perspective
If you’re feeling too reflective
Just bones of us from a of why you are
Have you seen the beauty in
The chaos that surrounds you like the stars

[Repeat Chorus]

Truthfully our love is like a dyslexic
Upside down and back and front couldn’t fix it
Of every heart I loved is gonna love a lot of things
Well this time – don’t let me down

[Repeat Chorus]

Gran Torino lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Realign all the stars
Above my head
Warning signs
Travel far
I drink instead
On my own
Oh,how I've known
The battle scars
And worn out beds

Gentle now
A tender breeze blows
Whispers through a Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song

Engines humm and bitter dreams grow
Heart locked in a Gran Torino
It beats A lonely rhythm all night long

These streets are old
They shine with the things I've known
And breaks through the trees
Their sparkling

Your world
Is nothing more
Than all
The tiny things
You've left behind

So tenderly
Your story is
Nothing more
Than what you see
Or
What you've done
Or will become
Standing strong
Do you belong
In your skin
Just wondering

Gentle now a tender breeze blows
Whispers through the Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song
Engines humm and bitter dreams grow
A heart locked in a Gran Torino
It beats A lonely rhythm
All night long

May I be so bold and stay
I need someone to hold
That shudders my skin
Their sparkling

Your world
Is nothing more
Than all
The tiny things
You've left
Behind

So realign
All the stars
Above my head
Warning signs
Travel far
I drink instead
On my own
Oh
How i've known
The battle scars
And worn out beds

Gentle now a tender breeze blows
Whispers through the Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song
Engines humm and better dreams grow
Heart locked in a Gran Torino
It beats a lonely rhythm
All night long
It beats a lonely rhythm
All night long
It beats a lonely rhythm
All night long

Get Your Way lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Dinner at eight, that sounds fine,
I suppose that means you'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]


London Skies lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Paint a picture,
Clear cut and pale on a cold winters day,
Shapes and cool light wander the streets like an army of strays,
On a cold winters Day.

[Chorus:]
Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.

Patient moments you chill to the bone under infinite greys,
Vision hindered mist settling low like a ghostly ballet,
On a cold winters Day.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Nothing is certain except everything you know can change,
you worship the sun but now,
can you fall for the rain...

[Chorus]

Photograph lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Her name was written on a photograph,
Right next to her red, sunburnt face,
It all had happened in that long tall grass,
About a mile from her old place,
I can't remember how it started
And if it lasted that day in the sun.

We said that we were going to study hard,
We held our books instead of hands,
She held a blanket over cans of beer,
I can't deny I was so full of fear.

It's just another story caught up
In another photograph I found.
And it seems like another person lived that life A great many years ago from now,

When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
When I look back on my ordinary ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.

And there's the first time that I tried that stuff,
I think I look a little green,
I remember throwing up behind a bush,
And I found it hard to use my feet,
And who's that easily led
Little boy who's really off his head?

It was the same night that I kissed that girl,
The tall one with the auburn hair,
I remember laughing coz to kiss me,
She had to sit down on a chair!
She tasted like the schnapps she'd drunk,
And the cigarette she'd stolen from her mum.

And it's just another story caught up in another photograph I found.

When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
When I look back on my ordinary ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.

I Only Have Eyes For You lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'cause I only have eyes for you, dear
My love must be some kind of blind love
I don't see anybody but you
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'cause I only have eyes for you.

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
I only have eyes for you
My love must be some kind of blind love
I don't see anybody but you

Nothing I Do lyrics - Jamie Cullum

We were so drunk last night,
We had that stupid fight,
You called me a useless selfish prick,
So I'm in a fix right now,
And we'll measure the truth somehow,
Love is a funny thing to me

[Pre-Chorus:]
Then you stormed out and grabbed your coat,
While slamming shut the door,
A ruthless move so cold you left your keys inside the door Oh...

[Chorus:]
Can Nothing I do make you happy anymore,
Nothin' I say put a smile onto your face,
Can nothing I say bring us back together,
Nothing I do put a smile onto your face.

[Spoken] Well Okay..

[Verse 2:]
Next day I called you back,
And you called me a stupid twat,
And then you were crying on the phone,
You sounded so upset, you said,
I wasn't the man you'd met
3 years and 7 months ago

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I pleaded with her take me back,
I'll change my sorry ways
So tell me why mysteriously I'm annoyed instead of shamed
Ohhh

[Chorus:]
Can Nothing I do make you happy anymore,
Can nothin' I say put a smile onto your face
Nothing I do bring us back together
Nothing say put a smile onto your face

[Bridge:]
MMmmmm, Yeahhh

I'm pondering it all after that call
I think it is clear
I am here, you're from another stratosphere
Oh, now all the things she said they went around my head
And come out my ear,
And not before long,
This stubborn soul thinks he's done no wrong.

[Instrumental]

[Pre Chorus:]
As when the questions flutter
'round my head like butterflies,
My head spins at reflecting on
Another love's demise, Ohhhh

[Chorus:]
Can Nothing I do make you happy anymore,
Can nothin' I say put a smile onto your face
Can nothing I do bring us back together
Nothing I say put a smile onto your face,

Ohhhhh

[spoke] All together, 1,2,3...

Mind Trick lyrics - Jamie Cullum

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......

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

na na na's.... (watch me forget about missing you)


21st Century Kid lyrics - Jamie Cullum

There's maybe a way I can tell you
'Cos with everyday things continue
To get more compromised,
So who will fantasise
A new generation politicised

When things are done in our own name
Are we as much to blame?
Now it's become clear to me,
But only lately
And the ground is removed underneath

Shout it from the brink,
You're louder than you think

[Chorus:]
21st century kid, you're surrounded by illusion and confusion,
So maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Your weapon

Nothing is certain except a memory
And that's soon washed away by a low sea
Now sit yourself down my one
And see what you become,
Ignoring a smouldering gun

The white dove's flown
D'ya think we're on our own?

[Chorus:]
21st century kid, you're surrounded by illusion and confusion.
So maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
Could it be the greatest weapon?
21st century kid, you're surrounded by illusion and confusion.
So maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Your weapon


I'm Glad There Is You lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Said I many times, love is illusion,
A feeling result of confusion
With knowing smile and blas© sigh,
A cynical so and so, am I.

I feel so sure, so positive,
So utterly unchangeably certain
Though I never was aware of loving you
'til suddenly I 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, 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...

Oh God lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I know it's been a while since I have talked to you
But maybe you're the one who makes the winds blow
We're looking at the stars without explanation
We contemplate as kings and simple men on trial
Our little world's fragile

Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
So who's the last resort... Oh God

Tumbling towards unclear destinations
Do they wash away the blame,
The wind and the searing rains
As our powers interchange

Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
So who's the last resort... oh God

[Sax intro]

Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
So who's the last resort

Catch The Sun lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Every day it comes to this
Catch the things you might have missed
You say, get back to yesterday
I ain't ever going back
Back to the place that I can't stand
But I miss the way you lie
I'm always misunderstood
Pulled apart and ripped in two
But I miss the way you lie

Catch the sun, before it's gone
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone
Catch the sun, it never comes
Cry in the sand, lost in the fire

I never really understood
Why I didn't feel so good
But I miss the way you lie
I've always been up and down
Never wanted to hit the ground
But I miss the way you lie

Catch the sun, before it's gone
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone
Catch the sun, it never comes
Cry in the sand, lost in the fire


7 Days To Change Your Life lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Just one local call and you'll see
A happy path through life not for free
A little bit fat you can't get a girl
Short on cash I'll change your world
The only way now is straight up
Your deepest despair I'll make it stop
Just 19.95 all major credit cards
And you'll stay alive and you'll go far

In just seven short days
You'll change your life
All of your innocence found
You'll even lose a few pounds
See yourself making a mint
Quality time with your kids
Send me your money and I'll change your life

I know sometimes your life is a bitch
So come purchase my easy fix
I've been there myself sad fat and bald
But soon with my help, you'll have it all
Ill build you back up for the fight
You'll be so wound up your stomachs tight
Your the laugh of the party you'll get yourself laid
Surely you'll trust me once I've been paid

In just seven short days
You'll change your life
All of your innocence found
You'll even lose a few pounds
See yourself making a mint
Quality time with your kids
Send me your money and I'll change your life
Change

So many years ago I was so low and lonely and depressed
I hadn't left my flat in weeks and never even bothered getting dressed
And I was smoking weed and I was in a mess and that's when it happened
So I opened up the blinds to let the light in on my sorry life
I dreamed about success and money muscles women cars
And even wives and they would always attend to my every need
So do you see what you can be, baby when you're with me?

In just seven short days
You'll change your life
All of your innocence found
You'll even lose a few pounds
See yourself making a mint
Quality time with your kids
Send me your money and I'll change your life


Our Day Will Come lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring.

No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know
Cause I love you so
And you love me, love me.

Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
No tears for us
Think love and wear a smile.

And our dreams are meant to be
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come.

[Piano Solo]

Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
And no tears for us
Think love and wear a smile.

And our dreams are meant to be
Because we'll always stay
In love this way.
Our day, our day, oh daaaaay, will come.


Back To The Ground lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Lately, i've let myself go
I've been screening the calls
From my friends to my foes

Although I've been weak
Far for so very long
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
Back to the ground

Sultry siren messed with my song
I'm gonna send her back
To where she belongs

I keep my enemies
Much, much, much too close
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
Back to the ground

When you're attracted to the danger
And tasting every flavour
Then bring it on and bleed yourself dry

Reality is twisted
Your mind's getting shoplifted
Is there underneath an innocent guy?

[Instrumental]

So clearly, I've let myself go
So does admission take my sins to a new low?
And when you're way down there

You'll find all those old friends
You used to know
And they're gonna help ya

Get yourself back to the ground


Fascinating Rhythm lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm a rhythm
That pitter pats through my brain
So darn persistent, the day isn't distant
When it'll drive me insane

Comes in the morning
Without any warning
And hangs around all day
I have to sneak up to it, some day I'll speak up to it
And hope it listens when I say...

Fascinating rhythm
You got me on the go
Fascinating Rhythm, I'm all a quiver
What a mess you're making
The neighbours want to know
Why I'm always shaking
Just like my grandmother

Each morning I get up with the sun
To find at night no work has been done...
I know that once it didn't matter
But now you doing wrong
When you start to patter, I'm so unhappy
Won't you take a day off
Decide to run along
Somewhere far away off
And make it snappy

Oh how I long to be
The man I used to be
Fascinating Rhythm
Why don't you stop picking on me

My Yard lyrics - Jamie Cullum

So hail a taxi cab and come around here
And I will meet you right outside.
I got some DVDs and a couple of beers,
If you want to,
We can stay up all night.
It's nothing fancy, just a little couch and me
And conversation for your mind.
So let's explore all the possibilities
Of the things that we both talked about last time.

[chorus:]
Take a trip to my yard
Don't you know the grass is greener on the other side?
Take a trip to my yard
Don't you know the love that you've been Dreaming of is mine?

I'll be your neighbour at the other end of town
And the benefits you soon will find.
So let's enjoy the fact that we're on our own
And we will answer to nobody else this time.
Tonight might be nothing but the moon and me
Any time that we take the script and flip it baby
Take a trip to my yard

[chorus:]
Take a trip to my yard
Don't you know the grass is greener on the otherside?
Take a trip to my yard
Don't you know the love that you've been dreaming of is mine?

What A Difference A Day Made lyrics - Jamie Cullum

What a difference a day made, twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers where there use to be rain
My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
Oh, what a difference a day made
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you, is you

My yesterday was blue dear
Still I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
Oh, what a difference a day made
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you, is you, is you

These Are The Days lyrics - Jamie Cullum

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've thought you said that love would last forever
Leave and that the tears would end for good
I told you that we 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


Singing In The Rain lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
For love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Singing, singing in the rain
In the rain.

La...

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
I'm singing, singing in the rain
In the rain
In the rain


Twentysomething lyrics - Jamie Cullum

After years of expensive education
A car full of books and anticipation
I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot
But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought
Maybe I'll go traveling for a year
Finding myself, or start a career
Could work the poor, though I'm hungry for fame
We all seem so different but we're just the same
Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat
Aren't things more easy, with a tight six pack
Who knows the answers, who do you trust
I can't even separate love from lust
Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans
Working nine to five, answering phones
But don't make me live for Friday nights
Drinking eight pints and getting in fights
Maybe I'll just fall in love
That could solve it all
Philosophers say that that's enough
There surely must be more
Love ain't the answer, nor is work
The truth eludes me so much it hurts
But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me

But For Now lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Sure I know you'd like to have me
Talk about my future
And a million words or so to fill you in about my past
Have I sisters or a brother
When's my birthday how's my mother
Well my dear in time I'll answer all those things you ask

But for now I'll just say I love you
Nothing more seems important somehow
And tomorrow can wait come whatever
Let me love you forever but right now
Right now

Some fine day when we go walking
We'll take time for idle talking
Sharing every feeling as we watch each other smile
I'll hold your hand you'll hold my hand
We'll say things we never had planned
Then we'll get to know each other in a little while

But for now let me say I love you
Later on there'll be time for so much more
But for now meaning now and forever
Let me kiss you my darling then once more
Once more

But for now let me say I love you
Later on I must know much more of you
But for now here and now how I love you
As you are in my arms I love you
I love you
I love you

Old Devil Moon lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I looked at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me

I looked at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the sky
It's that old devil moon in your eyes

You and your glance makes this romance too hot to handle
Stars in the night blazin' their light can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
I just wanna cry
Wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes

Just when I think I'm free as a dove
Old evil moon deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love

I looked at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me

I looked at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the sky
It's that old devil moon in your eyes

You and your glance makes this romance too hot to handle
Stars in the night blazin' their light can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
I just wanna cry
Wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes

Just when I think I'm free as a dove
Old evil moon deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love

I Could Have Danced All Night lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I'd never ever done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
But all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, danced, danced, danced

Bed? I couldn't go to bed
My head's too light to try to settle down
Sleep? I couldn't sleep tonight
Not for all the jewels in the crown!

I'll never know what made it so exciting
But all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, danced all night


Blame It On My Youth lyrics - Jamie Cullum

If, I expected love, when first we kissed, blame it on my youth
If only just for you, I did exist, blame it on my youth
I believed in everything
Like a child of three
You meant more than anything
You meant all the world to me

If, you were on my mind, all night and day, blame it on my youth
If, I forgot to eat, and sleep and pray, blame it on my youth
If I cried a little bit, when first I learned the truth
Don't blame it on my heart, blame it on my youth

I Get A Kick Out Of You lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you

Some get their kicks from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
That I get a kick out of you

I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to me that you obviously do not adore me

I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you

Some get their kicks from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
That I get a kick out of you

I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to me that you obviously do not adore me

I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick
She gives me the boot
I get a kick out of you

All At Sea lyrics - Jamie Cullum

I'm all at sea
Where no-one can bother me
Forgot my roots
If only for a day
Just me and my thoughts sailing far away
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
All at sea
I'm all at sea
Where no-one can bother me
I sleep by myself
I drink on my own
Don't speak to nobody
I gave away my phone
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
All at sea
Now I need you more than ever, I need you more than ever, now
You don't need it every day
But sometimes don't you just crave
To disappear within your mind
You never know what you might find
So come and spend some time with me
We will spend it all at sea
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
All at sea



Wind Cries Mary lyrics - Jamie Cullum

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
'Cause 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 it's crutch, it's old age and it's wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."

And the wind cries Mary.


Lover, You Should Have Come Over lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know

I'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to break free and run

Sometimes a man, he gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
Cause sometimes a man must awake to find that really he has no one

So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

Sometimes a man, he gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
Cause sometimes a man must awake to find that really he has no one

So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
'Cause it's not too late



It's About Time lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Walking down to the water's edge
Where I have been before
If I don't find my love sometime
I'm walking out that door
Some may come and some may go
But no-one seems to be
The person I've been searching for
The one whose meant for me
Biding my time, trying to find a heart that's lonely
Looking for her, my love my one and only
Maybe I'll dream, tonight about the girl who'll be coming my way
So I'll take this chance and celebrate the day
When I'm making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I"m ready to make someone mine
Making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I'll find her, 'cos it's about time
You try too hard and it feels just like
You're running on thin air
Why does luck happen by suprise
If you don't really care
The past is gone the flames are out
From fires that have burned
New ideals and different thoughts
From lessons I have learned
Biding my time, trying to find a heart that's lonely
Looking for her, my love my one and only
Maybe I'll dream, tonight about the girl who'll be coming my way
So I'll take this chance and celebrate the day
When I'm making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I"m ready to make someone mine
Making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I'll find her, 'cos it's about time
Got the feeling this could take a pretty long while
To find that smile
Put my faith in another piece of good advice
Well I tried that twice
Waiting for, a little something more
To inspire, take me higher
And I"m ready to make someone mine
Making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I'll find her, 'cos it's about time
It's about time



Next Year Baby lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Next Year,
Things are gonna change,
Gonna drink less beer
And start all over again
Gonna pull up my socks
Gonna clean my shower
Not gonna live by the clock
But get up at a decent hour
Gonna read more books
Gonna keep up with the news
Gonna learn how to cook
And spend less money on shoes
Pay my bills on time
File my mail away, everyday
Only drink the finest wine
And call my Gran every Sunday
Resolutions
Well Baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things?
The answers probably no
But if there's one thing, I must do,
Despite my greatest fears
I'm gonna say to you
How I've felt all of these years
Next Year, Next Year, Next Year
I gonna tell you, how I feel
Well, resolutions
Baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things?
The answers probably no
But if there's one thing, I must do,
Despite my greatest fears
I'm gonna say to you
How I've felt all of these years
Next Year, Next Year, Next Year


Everlasting Love lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Hearts gone astray, deep in her when they go.
I went away just when you needed me so.
You won't regret, I'll come back begging you. (mmm)
Won't you forget, welcome the love we once knew.

Open up your eyes, then you realise.
Here I stand with my everlasting love.
Need you by my side.
Girl to be my pride.
Never be denied everlasting love....

oh...

Hearts gone astray deep in hurt when they go.
I went away just when you needed me so.
You wont regret I'll come back begging you.
Wont you forget, welcome love we once knew.

Open up your eyes, then you'll realise.
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side.
Girl to be my pride.
Never be denied everlasting love.

From the very start open up your heart, feel that you've fall in,
Everlasting love......

need a love to last forever.
need a love to last forever.
need a love to last forever.
need a love to last forever.........

I need a love to last forever



Frontin' lyrics - Jamie Cullum

Don't wanna sound full of myself or rude,
But you ain't looking at no other dudes cause you love me (uh oh)
So you think about a chance,
You find yourself trying to do my dance,
Maybe cause you love me (uh oh)
So then we tried - we had to slow down
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched
The we locked eyes - and I knew I was in there
And I was gon' tear ya ass up,

I know that I'm carrying on, nevermind if I'm showing off
I was just frontin (you know I want ya babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want ya (you should stop frontin babe babe, yea yea yea

Trying to be the best girlfriend you could be
But still you sneak and look at me, and girl I love it
Then you give your other girl a shove
Tell her you gon' palm her ass like it was
And she's gon love it (whoa-oh whoa)
So then we tried - gotta slow down
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched,
Then we locked eyes - and I knew I was in there
And I was gon' tear ya ass up,

I know that I'm carrying on, nevermind if I'm showing off
I was just frontin (you know I want ya babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want ya (you should stop frontin babe, babe, yea yea yeaa)

[instrumental]

I know that I'm carrying on, nevermind if I'm showing off
I was just frontin (you know I want ya babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want ya (you should stop frontin babe, babe, yea yea yeaa)
