Long as you're lookin' good...
You can win the admiration,
Of the current population,
You can be star,
Long as you're lookin' good!
You have made the main connection,
You can win the next election,
Don't care who you are,
Just leave them mesmerised, give their eyes a picture to play with,
And you will be so surprised at how much you can get away with!
Long as you're lookin' good!
Let that be your main credential,
You'll get treatment preferential,
It's a rule that's still essentially iron-clad,
Remember you can' look bad,
Long as you're lookin' good!
[instrumental]
You can tell the world to shove it,
Show 'em crap and make 'em love it!
Uh!
You can run their life,
Long as you're lookin' good!
They'll believe you walk on water,
Even trust you with their daughter,
Sometimes with their wife,
Don't have to know a thing, just look like you're a sensation,
Don't have to dance or sing to get that standing ovation!
Long as you're lookin' good!
You can show up late for dinner,
Play the saint or play the sinner,
A blag, a crank, a rank beginner,
Or just a cad!
Remember you can't look bad,
Long as you're looking good!
Long as you're soundin' good!
I Want To Be A Popstar lyrics - Jamie Cullum
Why is it all these fakers
Seem to make the morning papers?
They're selling records by the million, seems so easy in my opinion
Look at the Jazz Star, he really needs some guts
Playing from seven to midnight, surviving on peanuts
Selling records by the dozen
Probably sold his tenor to make 'em
With artwork designed by his brother
And liner notes by his mother
Told what to do, miming to a tape
While a team of experts make sure you're looking great
Taking a limo to your own private bar
My God! I want to be a popstar!
Going to get on the T.V and go on dates with only the pretty
Maybe next year I'll pretend to be gay
I'll sell some more records in a flash that way
Makes no difference if i look like a nut
Every kid in the world is going to copy my haircut
I'll advertise some trainers, maybe even a car
Shrewd product placement will gurantee I'm a star
An ugly guy will write my songs
Surley there is nothing wrong
Retiring when I'm 22
With a house a car and nothing to do
Instantaneous satisfaction it will be
Got no need for artistic credibility
With this attitude I'm pretty sure to go far
My God! I want to be a popstar!
Maybe its too easy, to move so quickly so far
I want to be a popstar!
Where's the middle ground?
It's hard to make a living with you own true sound
What road am I going to tread?
What the hell would i do instead?
There may be no tours in Roma, or a drug-induced designer coma
No teenage girls when show is over, I prefer my women older
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about
Sometimes it would be nice to play a place and sell out
Driving to a gig in my brand new sports car
My God! I want to be a popstar!
I want to be a popstar!
Maybe its too easy, to move so quickly so far
Who wants to be a popstar?
Seem to make the morning papers?
They're selling records by the million, seems so easy in my opinion
Look at the Jazz Star, he really needs some guts
Playing from seven to midnight, surviving on peanuts
Selling records by the dozen
Probably sold his tenor to make 'em
With artwork designed by his brother
And liner notes by his mother
Told what to do, miming to a tape
While a team of experts make sure you're looking great
Taking a limo to your own private bar
My God! I want to be a popstar!
Going to get on the T.V and go on dates with only the pretty
Maybe next year I'll pretend to be gay
I'll sell some more records in a flash that way
Makes no difference if i look like a nut
Every kid in the world is going to copy my haircut
I'll advertise some trainers, maybe even a car
Shrewd product placement will gurantee I'm a star
An ugly guy will write my songs
Surley there is nothing wrong

With a house a car and nothing to do
Instantaneous satisfaction it will be
Got no need for artistic credibility
With this attitude I'm pretty sure to go far
My God! I want to be a popstar!

I want to be a popstar!

Who wants to be a popstar?
After You've Gone lyrics - Jamie Cullum
After you've gone, and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
Some day, when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine for you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal that you've ever had
There'll come a time, don't you forget it
There'll come a time when you regret it
Some day when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine for you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
After you've gone, there's no denying
Some day, when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine for you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal that you've ever had
There'll come a time, don't you forget it
There'll come a time when you regret it
Some day when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine for you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
Hey, Look Me Over lyrics - Jamie Cullum
[from "Going in Style" soundtrack]
Hey, look me over, and me and it
Fresh out of clover mortgage up to here
But don't pass the plate
Folks, don't pass the cup
I figure whenever you're down and out, the only way is up
And I'll be up, like a rose
But high on the vine
Don't thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I'm a little bit short of the other room, but let me get me some
And look out world here I come
Hey, look me over, let me in here
Fresh out of clover mortgage up to here
But don't pass the plate
Folks, don't pass the cup
I figure whenever you're down and out, the only way is up
And I'll be up, like a rose
But high on the vine
Don't thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I'm a little bit short of the other room, but let me get me some
And look out world here I come
Hey, look me over, and me and it
Fresh out of clover mortgage up to here
But don't pass the plate
Folks, don't pass the cup
I figure whenever you're down and out, the only way is up
And I'll be up, like a rose
But high on the vine
Don't thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I'm a little bit short of the other room, but let me get me some
And look out world here I come
Hey, look me over, let me in here
Fresh out of clover mortgage up to here
But don't pass the plate
Folks, don't pass the cup
I figure whenever you're down and out, the only way is up
And I'll be up, like a rose
But high on the vine
Don't thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I'm a little bit short of the other room, but let me get me some
And look out world here I come
Move On Song lyrics - Jamie Cullum
Pictures that I can't throw away
One life, tattooed
It's been several months and a day
Since we were referred to, as me and you
Even though your heart has gone dry
You won't deny me my dreams
At least that's what it seems
Now that you're gone
I had to write this move on song
Just for me ...
So I could figure where it went wrong
I channelled the soul of Elton John
The tea's gone cold and salty with tears
My friends beckon me out, for comeback beers
The truth be known like summer lawn
I've always been drawn to the clouds
Where I'll sit for hours
Now that you're gone
I had to write this move on song
Just for me ...
I resent you being a bitch
Self-preservation, oh, that little trick
I even had the guts to call time
On a wounded while and ragged rhymes
The truth be known like summer lawn
I've always been drawn to the clouds
Where I'll sit for hours
Now that you're gone
I had to write this move on song
Just for me ...
Right now
Love's gonna make me slam my fist right through the door
It's time now
To scatter myself in all those pieces on the floor
To serve me up some shots of my words
A joke on the lessons I've learned
That darkens my world
Now that you're gone
I had to write this move on song
Just for me ...
Work Of Art lyrics - Jamie Cullum
I'm gonna tell you where we are
C'mon love me and we'll go far
There's an ocean underneath the sea
Put me in your narrative
Paint your sunset golden red
There's a beautiful world for us to see
Whaddya say?
Say can you hear me?
You gotta jump right in
If you gonna find the lovin' that you need
I wanna live my life like a work of art
I wanna live my life like a work of art
If there's just one thing to give you any truth
C'mon and live your life like a work of art
There's sunshine in my veins
That's never gonna be contained
That sounds like paradise to me
The secrets in my brain
Tell me we're all the same
The more you sing the more you're free
So what you say?
Say can you hear me?
You gotta jump right in
If you gonna find the lovin' that you need
I wanna live my life like a work of art
I wanna live my life like a work of art
If there's just one thing to give you any truth
C'mon and live your life like a work of art
Live my life, live my
Like a work of art
[x8]
C'mon love me and we'll go far
There's an ocean underneath the sea
Put me in your narrative
Paint your sunset golden red
There's a beautiful world for us to see
Whaddya say?
Say can you hear me?
You gotta jump right in
If you gonna find the lovin' that you need
I wanna live my life like a work of art
I wanna live my life like a work of art
If there's just one thing to give you any truth
C'mon and live your life like a work of art
There's sunshine in my veins
That's never gonna be contained
That sounds like paradise to me
The secrets in my brain
Tell me we're all the same
The more you sing the more you're free
So what you say?
Say can you hear me?
You gotta jump right in
If you gonna find the lovin' that you need
I wanna live my life like a work of art
I wanna live my life like a work of art
If there's just one thing to give you any truth
C'mon and live your life like a work of art
Live my life, live my
Like a work of art
[x8]
So They Say lyrics - Jamie Cullum
They put it in a can
Everybody needs or wants to join a band
And they play, and they play, and they play
Drink more, you used it well
A million people playing at your tabloid hell
You ok, you ok, you ok, you ok
‘Cause Knoxville’s doing all your stunts
And time is running out for love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You and me gonna set the world on fire
The president has proved himself to be a lie
So they say, so they say, so they say
So they say, so they say, so they say
Maybe just a little more to get me high
Its clear to everybody that the girl’s got style
So they say, so they say, so they say
Watched night, the Percocet
Buy it in in bulk over the internet
So they say, so they say, so they say
So grow down and rule the world
Sitting on your face with meeting random girls
Its ok, its ok, its ok, its ok
Your stone heart needs a little shove
And time is running out for love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You and me gonna set the world on fire
The president has proved himself to be a lie
So they say, so they say, so they say
So they say, so they say, so they say
Maybe just a little more to get me high
Its clear to everybody that the girl’s got style
So they say, so they say, so they say, so they say
Your stone heart needs a little shove
Is that Green Peace picking through your junk?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You and me gonna set the world on fire
The president has proved himself to be a lie
So they say, so they say, so they say
So they say, so they say, so they say
Maybe just a little more to get me high
Its clear to everybody that the girl’s got style
So they say, so they say, so they say, so they say
