Imelda May Album

(written by Imelda May)

Good life came callin', I fell under its spell and kept fallin'
Great night, so fittin', I sat into your lap and stayed sittin'
Oh your smile seemed willin', you hid behind your porcelain fillin'
Oh big lights, so pretty, got swept away by lies it's a pity
I'll write you a story, but knowin' you you'll take all the glory
Oh fat cats got lazy, the truth behind the cream it got hazy
So now you're pullin' the rug from under me
Puttin' a gun in front of me, pullin' the rug from under me
But I won't let you get me down, gonna spin you upside down
‘till you don't know your head from your tail
I got a way, I got a will, God I'm never standin' still
Long enough for you to pin a win or fail
Oh pullin' the rug yeah
Time is tickin' by, my life is flyin' high
But you, you, you, you and I have ended our days of dreamin'

(written by Imelda May)

Keep on takin' your medication
Lock that temper behind those pills
Your brain is flyin', insanely fryin'
Just remember it's bad to kill
I go with a psycho
I go with a psycho
No more growlin', Stop your prowlin'
Leave those cars and people alone
You're an animal, a human cannibal
Snarlin' and a snappin' like a dog on a bone
I go with a psycho
Yeah I go with a psycho
You terrify the neighbours when you scream and shout
You look like it's contagious, you're foaming at the mouth
You're a freakin' nightmare when you're lyin' in my bed
You sleep with eyes wide open like the living dead
I go with a psycho
I go with a psycho

(Written by Imelda May)

He said he didn't even hear trains let alone the few words
The ladies maybe sayin' about him
She freaks and tells her closest friend that she'll never love again
But she'll never, no not ever
Live without him

Chorus – Wouldn't believe it, if you seen it
Oh, Mayhem doo doo doop
Yeah, Mayhem doo doo doop
Yeah, Mayhem doo doo doop
A lotta Mayhem, woh oh oh yeah

She said he didn't mean a thing so she threw her diamond ring
Out the window of a black cab in Camden
He couldn't take it, what she did,
So he threw a hissy fit and he took it out on anyone at random

Chorus

Dinning sound, lights spinning round, some mothers' son
Gotta fight or got to run run run run
Run run run run run

Solo

Ten pints and then he starts a fight and he lands himself a night
In a cell wearing grey pants and bruises
Twelve mates bangin' on the door, oh the back up vans galore
Never saw such a street full of losers

Chorus

Repeat mayhem

Do you remember we traipsed around from pub to pound shop up through Kentish Town
Only a fiver to our name, the drunk on the doorstep had more to our shame
Living over the offie had its trials the fights all night out there and inside
And those stews that lasted three days into four and the dreaded baliffs returned to our door,

but we stook with each other with all our might, we pulled it together and held on tight,
And I’m glad for us yeah I’m glad machree but its nothing to anyone ‘cept you and me
There were wrongs for every right, there’s ups and there's downs
But you’re the one for all my life, my true love I have found, yeah you my love I found

I watched the moon cover the might of the sun,
The weird eerie light at a quarter past one, and I knew in my head as I lay in my bed that you’d stay in my heart til the day I was dead,
We killed each other and loved in time, and laughed til we almost cried, yeah we cried as well when it all went to Hell,
And my heart it broke til I swear it died

but we stook with each other with all our might, we pulled it together and held on tight,
And I’m glad for us yeah I’m glad machree but its nothing to anyone except you and me
There were wrongs for every right, there’s ups and theres downs
But you’re the one for all my life, my true love I have found, yeah you my love I found

*****guitar solo******

Oh you’re good at the things I’m hopeless at and I notice what you ignore
But its when I see you’re not prefect for me, its then I love you more and more,

and we stook with each other with all our might, we pulled it together and held real tight,
And I’m glad for us, I’m glad machree but its nothing to anyone except you and me
There were wrongs for every right, there’s ups and theres downs
But you’re the one for all my life, my true love I have found, yeah you my love I found

Ooo oooo

There were wrongs for every right, there’s ups and theres downs
But you’re the one for all my life, my true love I have found, yeah you my love I found

Watch my lips when I'm tellin' you this, yeah it's all for you
Every flick of the wrist, every swing of the hips, yeah it's all for you
When I toss my hair, throw my head in the air, yeah it's all for you
Every hook, every clip, every twitch of the zip
Yeah it's all for you
I'm spellin' it out it's not written in code
I want you so much I think I'm gonna explode
Watch my lips when I'm tellin' you this
Yeah, all for you, ooh, all for you
When I move real slow, babe I want you to know, yeah it's all for you
Every bump, every grind, oh I think that you'll find, yeah it's all for you

(written by Darrel Higham)

Since I met you baby, I feel that you somehow saved me
Your smile lets me know that your heart warmly glows
It took forever to find eternity
It took forever to find eternity
Time flew by me, now I understand you see
Time played a waiting game, it seems you felt the same, oh
It took forever to find eternity
It took forever to find eternity
When love passes by, no one really understands why
But time will help you see
Another wait, is not too late, to find eternity
Love is now set free, the waiting game was the key
And when I see you standing there, everything now seems fair
It took forever to find eternity
It took forever to find eternity

Love it's a crazy make my heart go oopsy daisy
Make my blood flow not so lazy
Cos I love you inside out
Time is a wasting while you hold out
So frustrating cos you know that
Your looking amazing
And I love you inside out

I love your eyes blue as the skies
I love your lips to your finger tips
I love your bones, your old sticks and stones
Yeah I love ya inside out

Oh don't you believe me
Yes I know it's kind a creepy
Woah but oh lovin me deeply
Admit I did it you know you're going to keep me

Verse
So, say you love me like a hobo
Worn and grubby but you know though
There's no one above me
And you love me inside out

Oh don't you believe me
Yeah I know its kind of creepy
Whoah But oh loving me deeply
Admit it I did it, you know you gonna keep me

So say you love me like a hobo
Worn and grubby but you know though
There's no one above me
And you love me inside out

I love your chin and the skin that you're in
I love your nails, even your entrails
I love your soul even your little mole
Yeah I love ya inside out

I love your arms and your laugh out loud charms
I love your wits and all your wobbly bits
I love your lungs and your talking tongue
And I love ya inside out

(written by Imelda May)

I said Lord here's the total of what I done
Sometimes I did good, sometimes I done wrong
But I did the best I could from where I come from
And I'll keep on tryin' till my day is done
And so I'm proud and humble, humble and proud
Yeah, I'm proud and humble, humble and proud
I'll be proud and humble, humble and proud when I come
Yeah, when I'm done
Oh, I made the most from what I knew then
But if I lived it over I'd do the same again
I try, I try for You to please
But You know I'm only human, You created me
Well I'm humbled by You and thankful oh Lord
I studied Your life and Your holy word
But I hold my head just a little high
'Cos I'm proud that I got on with this given life

(written by Imelda May)

I'm behind you, I'm watchin' your back
I'm gonna find you, look in every crack
I know your passwords, I cracked your codes
I know you backwards, I even searched your clothes
'Cos I'm a sneaky freak, yes I'm a sneaky freak'
Watch out cos I'm a sneaky freak, oh I'm a sneaky freak
'Cos I'm a creepy sneaky freak
What you up to? 'Cos I'm gonna find out
Hidden secrets yeah I know about
I picked your locks yeah, I stole your ID I know what rocks you
You'll never know it was me
You locked your door 'bout quarter past four, you're hiding something I know
You're holding your phone whenever you're at home, you jump on it whenever it goes
You got a feeling something's not right, you should be keeping one eye open at night
O'er your shoulder, was that something you saw?, I'm getting bolder, 'cos I'm above the law
I'm creepy
Yeah I'm sneaky
Oh Freaky

(written by Imelda May)

Secrets I hide in me, deep down inside of me
I keep them, I keep them at bay
No one will ever know what I don't wanna show
I lock them, I lock them away
And so I dig, yes I dig
I'm goin' to bury my troubles away
I'm goin' to bury my troubles away
Oh worries, stop haunting me, don't you keep taunting me!
I won't be, I won't be no slave
I put you to rest for good, I did the best I could
So get in, get into your grave
Farewell ye gentlemen, goodbye my mental friends
Hear what, hear what I'm sayin'
Ashes and dust to dust, that is the end of us
Oh Lord, oh Lord I'm prayin'

(written by Imelda May)

I'm too sad to cry, you won't find a tear in my eye
My baby's gone and hurt me so
I'm way too sad to cry
I'm too tired to die, though my heart has just waved me goodbye
Why so wrong I'll never know
I'm way too tired to die
What do I do now, oh I don't care
Where do I go now, oh where oh where
Not thinking straight now, oh I despair
Lord won't you carry me away from here

(written by Imelda May)

Smother me with your kisses
Bury me in your arms
Oh the love that this is
has chained me to your charms
Oh lock me up in your heart
Drown me in your eyes
'Cos when you hold me, I'm alive
You wash me clean of all sadness
You cleanse me of all doubt
Now this new born feeling I can't live without
You've drugged me I'm addicted
I'm drunk just on your smile
'Cos when you hold me, I'm alive
I'm alive to each fingertip
To the end of each fine hair
My lips it seems, with every kiss,
Are sending thankful prayers.
You've woken a part of my soul
That's slept for way too long
Now I just can't get enough
I understand love songs
I'll sing to you forever
I'll love you 'til I die
'Cos when you hold me, I'm alive

(written by Imelda May)

Poundin' down the door, drownin' out your name
Stompin' through the floor, let me out boy I'm goin' insane
I'm hissin' like Eartha Kitt in a cage, I'm howlin' like a dog
You're evil what you're doin' to me, I kissed you but you're still a frog
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
You got me and you dangle the key, freedom in front of my rage
You better let me out or I'm gonna break every bone in this human cage
Your holdin' too tight, you're tyin' me down, this time you gone too far
You're evil what you're doin' to me, I'll be nobodys prisoner
Oh I'm startin' to freak, I'm startin' to shake
Oh I can't breathe, but you're not gonna take
A lot of action, I'm near distraction, I'm goin' outta my mind
Gonna rattle the bars, gonna break up the ball
Gonna tear out my hair, kick holes in the wall
My possession is your obsession, you're not gonna win this time

(written by Ed Cobb)

Sometimes I feel I've got to, run away I've got to
Get away, from the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light ‘cos I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you, now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh... tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to, run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think that love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you but you hurt me so
So I got to pack my things and go

He got me with a hook
Those big bass notes
Thunder in my chest
Stuck in my throat
Pulling me down
Like a rumble in the ground
Crawls up from the depths
With a deep down sound

Johnny got a boom boom
Johnny got a bam
He got a...

Big bomb body
Lonely neck
Swear it was a woman
That he had in his grip
Big vibrations, yeah
Just one glance
He'd gonna blow my mind
He's gonna make me wanna
Make me wanna, oh

Watch that man
See what's in his hands
Got no joy
He's a big bad boy

He's gonna freak you out
You're gonna shriek out loud
He's got you in his hands
He's gonna make you wanna
Make you wanna, oh
