Siobhan Donaghy Album

And we're starting from
A background they find amusing
If i'm not gone
I'll make this home

Let loose this faceless tribune
Induce that place all our own
In every strong hold or commune
Anyone, anyone

I'll be gone 'til i'm gone
Whatever it takes to greet this longing
Let these ancient tones replace me
Said i'll be gone 'til i'm gone

Am i to blame
The womb of wrong and illusion
What keeps me sane
Nothing but song

With all it's questions assuming
Verse of mine we're all among
And ageing form all consuming
Everyone, everyone

Well haven't you heard
Baby's got a new thing
And doesn't want to be disturbed
There'll be no introducing her
But that won't deter
From making us want to meet now
Am i allowed to call this defeat

I've been shown
Without deserving
That you're at home
With my un-nerving so
I suppose
I'll take to healing
And be getting on, getting on

Answer
You get noclever answer
No Answer
So we get no further
No sir, no sir

Well haven't you heard
Lady says she's walking
And when he gave his word
She didn't find it soothing
I know what he prefers
Is a little bit more control now
Than what she had vowed
Home ain't just a place to eat

I've been trying to travel
But my ways are going nowhere
Knowing that somewhere's hard to find
But i, i start to unravel
I start to unravel
In my mind

Verse 1
Making memories take me
How horrible they can make me
See it over freezing
Puffing and wheezing
We all know
When we have acted low
Can feel it from below
A belt of luck come over

Chorus
And the pain's overrated
Composed
But i don't know do you
And the chain's so serrated
And the proof
Well i don't know do you

Verse 2
Will i ever loose
These old catholic blues
That direct my shoes
Give me the strength to choose
I feel all low
The fear won't grow
If i show
It just went and go
But i don't know

Repeat chorus

Bridge
Everything you fed me
I take it on delivery
Waved it of to lift me
Your all far too slippery
What you gonna give me
(What you gonna give me)

What i have
To get through...

Repeat chorus x2
Repeat bridge to fade

Verse 1
Truly, it's for real
We all have to deal with shame
Do we watch, do we ever stop
Another drop everyday
Here we are running round
The circle's like a penny's round
For revenge, we would say
You would look and be amazed

Short Chorus
You tire us
The little bits of misery

Verse 2
Feeling everything
All the problems i will bring
You might think that, that i'm OK
There's one word less that you can say
Fooling us like you fool yourself
You're in danger from your wealth
Treating stuff with no regard
Nothing sacred we are scarred

Chorus
You won't take
No rift from me
In every place
We feel defeat
And you tire us out
The little bits of misery

Bridge
We got there
Went oh yeah
Maybe
We should take a re-check

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Verse 1
Since I've been dealing with you
My prince suppose has taken a move
And I, I'm feeling misunderstood
Do you think our heart is made of wood

Short Chorus
Even when you say you don't
To prove a point
Even when you play it as you like it
Even though you say you won't
Be staying while around me

Verse 2
Dreams filled with pictures of you
Extremes, the things that you make me do
And I'm getting carried away
Want you in my picture today

Chorus
Even when you say you don't
To prove a point
Even when you play it as you like it
Even though you say you wont
Be staying while around me
Even when I say you don't
I know you won't
Believe a single word I'm saying
Baby won't you stay awhile
As you like it round me

Bridge
Please don't go and leave me here alone
To entertain myself
Here's my fear, I'll make it clear for you
I can't contain myself

Repeat Chorus (x2)

In the decent of man
Heading for extinction
Catch this if you can
I'll make this prediction

You're my XY chromosome
And the love between us
Is fully blown
That's why here at home
I'm your one and only
XX alone

Gone for all humanity
A Shakespearean tragedy

We're all XY, XX chromosome
And the love between us
Is very nearly blown
And that's why we are all at home
Feeling lonely
XY XX alone XX alone

God will all humanity
Fail to fine a remedy
We haven't found a place where we
Can all human kind together be

We're all XY, XX chromosome
And the love between us
Should be fully grown
And that's why
We should be all at home
And never lonely
XY XX all one

I'm dreaming
The meaning of words
And, what do they all mean
It's all so absurd
We focus on all the worst things
And we're all full of fear
For what the life brings

You're my XY chromosome
And the love between us
Is fully blown
That's why here at home
I'm your one and only
XX alone

We're all XY, XX chromosome
And the love betwen us
Should be fully grown
And that's why
We should be all at home
And never lonely
XY XX all one

XX alone

It's a good sign
When little things
Make a big difference
I'm not lying
It's a sign of me

Take a look
Get a hook
It's worth holding
Read the book
See the look
We're moulding
As one body
As we cook
Every nook
Too scolding

Never save something
For a special occasion
Everyday
Your life is a special occasion

Take a look
Get a hook
It's worth holding
Read the book
See the look
We're moulding
As one body
As we cook
Every nook
Too scolding

Baby shook
What you took
I'm holding
You're the cook
Read my book
It's folding
Ours is not to reason why
Get a hook
My every nook's
Worth holding

Take a hold of every moment
Then remove my every garment
Melt my soul like you're a solvent
I could use your deep involvement

Verse 1
And all i know that when i'm twisted
One and two can mean the same thing
And if this stone has ever lifted
Then God knows i would have gone the distance
And by the hands i would have taken you
But due to circumstances
Get this image but i can't taste
Without knowing what this is

Chorus
Can you find the words to say
That i hate you is not an easy thing to say
Can you admit that each mistake
You ever made is just another twist of fate

Verse 2
I'm never told that my difference
Will pay off in every instance
And with all this double meaning
I have doubt in my resistance
Only fame a turns a change
Seem apart of our existence
Tell me how i'm supposed to keep you
With all i've witnessed

Repeat Chorus x2

Bridge
What have i heard
That's got me reaching
For every turn there's a turning point
From this eternal battle
And all of this hassle
What have i learnt

Repeat Chorus x2

Waiting

And the days they speak to me
With all their history
The little ways and passing phases
Oh so consistently
As the gazes reach for me
With that intensity
Through this maze of misled praise
The words get into me

Staring at faces of our times
To reconcile
There's always patience waiting
For a place in our minds
And in that autumn you'll find
Every orphan will loose their need to pine
Reassure them
The world before them
Staring at faces

Change

'Cause words alone
Will soon dissolve
And leave us with a face
We can't console
In the zone
Conscious of tones
We can't resolve

Enemies with love and without fortune
Render me while we're still immune to them
When those months have gone by shortly friend
I know, i know in war you'll report me then

Your dismay can't be cured
And at this stage
If i could then i would i'd help you
Rage disguises pain
In this maze of blood and veins
And this gaze that kills you gaze that kills you

Shakespeare
Cliche of reality
Literally
Our stories from those page
Dialect is clouding understanding
When they come asking
I know that you'll report me then

You wanna try me
On what you think you know
You never saw me
Saw me ever

You wanna try me
For my crimes alone
I'll last forever
Last forever

In between the lines
We replace somebody
How often do i find
Revolution in me

Watch the space that's left by those who're gone
The names of men
Written for only the desperate to find
Better yet again gather what we know
And start to show
Those many miles of woe, so

A mean design
This mind and body
When the two collide
Revolution in me

I'm tired of all these bad signs
And now there's no time to wait for people
To change their minds
'Cause from now on their burden is mine
Without their screaming
When they say their leaving
Now i only to remind, remind

Hurling ourselves
Down to the depths
Back since the day lest we forget
'Cause time it is set
Our memories crept
So now lets political get

There is no left wing
To fight the right wing

We're like turkeys in a box
Our feathers all plucked off
And we're all ready for Christmas day
Here's the paradox
We're like presents all wrapped up
And we can't wait for you to give us away

Acceptable face
All over the place
The lower you stoop the less the disgrace
You use all your charms
To sound the alarm
Have you got the legs to call us to arms

Like lambs to the slaughter
We pay for your daughters

Like the cut of your love
Like the cut
That won't heal up
Enough

We all
Put it all
Put it all
Put it all
