1.Are You Here
He's a real live wire
He's the best of his kind
Wait till you see those eyes
He dresses like this different scene
He'll kiss you make you feel sixteen
What's it even mean?
Are you here
Are you here
Are you here, cause my heart recalls that
It all seems the same
It all feels the same
Pick me up
It's hard to recall the taste of summer
When everywhere around, the chill of winter
It gets so far away
Are you here
Are you here
Are you here, cause my heart recalls that
It all seems the same
And he comes to lay me down in a garden of tuberose's
When he comes around there's nothing more to imagine
Just tuberose's
Tuberose's
Are you here
Are you here
Are you here, cause my heart recalls that it
All seems like
All looks like
It all feels like
It tasted like
Tasted
Tasted like
When he comes to lay me down in a garden of tuberose's
When he comes around there's nothing more to imagine
Just tuberose's
Tuberose's
Wait till you see those eyes
2.I'd Do It All Again
Ooh, you're searching for something I know
Won't make you happy
Ooh, you're thirsting for something I know
Won't make you happy
Ooh, you did it all again,
You broke another skin
It's hard to believe this time, hard to believe
That my heart
My heart's an open door...
You got all you came for, baby
So weary
Someone to love is bigger than your prides worth
Is bigger than the pain you got for it hurts
And out runs all of the sadness
It's terrifying, life, through the darkness
And I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again
You try sometimes but it won't stop
You got my heart and my head's lost, ooh yeah
I've been burning down these candles for love, for love
So weary,
Someone to love is bigger than your pride
Someone to love,
Someone to love
Someone to love
Ooh, you're searching for something I know
Won't make you happy
Ooh
3.Feels Like the First Time
Corinne Bailey Rae - Feels Like The First Time
I could pretend that I was okay
I wind around the parties, drink in hand
I could pretend when you went away
That I had changed and I no longer hear the band
But I won't lie
I found a love
I had to rediscover
I was emotionally scarred we could not get it away
There are times when it breaks and I feel amazed
Feels just like the first time when you kiss me, my lover
Angels in the sky will descend on our love
And it's hard to deny what is happening
Although we talk, talk, talk on the telephone
We laugh, laugh, laugh at the things we know
I've been a soldier for much too long
I'd willingly surrender all my arms
If you decided you won't be long
I'd wait here patient for you
Look for you every morning
Had this love
These were sparks
We tried to push it on but
I was afraid of the dark
We could not get it away
Never mind what they say
I would feel the same
Feels just like the first time when you kiss me, my lover
Angels in the sky will descend on our love
And it's hard to describe what is happening
Although we talk, talk, talk on the telephone
We laugh, laugh, laugh at the things you know
If I could choose then my heart would be in it,
My charms would be in it,
My love would be in it
Feels just like the first time when you kiss me, my lover
Angels in the sky will descend on our love
And it's hard to describe what is happening
Although we talk, talk, talk on the telephone
We laugh, laugh, laugh at the things you know
4.The Blackest Lily
So young for death,
We walk in shoes too big
But you play it like a poet,
Like you always did.
And I lay face upturned on the palm of God,
Pushed on by the fingertips of dreams,
They haunted me,
Consoling me.
And I would like to call, call it beauty,
Strained as love's become, it still amazes me
And I would like to call it beauty, ....
You slept a sigh like the angels speak,
And we danced into tomorrow on bleeding feet
And I had thought that I would die here
But you pushed me on,
You pushed me on,
You pushed me on
(Oh) And I would like to call it ,call it beauty,
Strained as love's become, it still amazes me
And I would like to call it beauty, ....
You can keep it all locked up in your leaden chest
Or you can lay mouth open on the water's edge
But all your angels and your God will stitch and wash you
Oh I would like to call, call it beauty,
Strained as love's become, it still amazes me
And I would like to call it beauty, ....
5.Closer
I don't want to give you up
I don't want to hold you up
I don't want ambiguous
I just know that I've had enough
I want you to travel with me
Let loose and let your mind go free...
Show you things that you've never seen
You just go to go with me
Ohhh
Your love is so good that I want to show you
Don't make me responsible,
For something you that can't find
Ohhh
Your loving is so good, so good, the closer
I want it, I want it
Into me
I want it, I want it,
Leave it here
I want it, I want it,
I want to get closer to you baby
Experience...
I want it, I want it
Generous...
Lay down what's impeding you
Cause I want to get closer to you
I don't want to give you up
I'm tired of the pull and push
I'm tired of the making love
Don't you feel like you've had enough
I want you to journey with me,
explore all the innocence
I don't mind us to build tension
but we've got to move in the same direction
Ohhh
Your love is so good that I want to show you
Don't make me responsible,
For something you that can't find
Ohhh
Your loving is so good, so good, the closer
I want it, I want it
Into me
I want it, I want it,
Leave it here
I want it, I want it,
I want to get closer to you baby
Experience...
I want it, I want it
Generous...
Lay down what's impeding you
Cause I want to get closer to you
You just got to go with me...
Your love is so good that I want to show you
Don't make me responsible,
For something you that can't find
Ohhh
Your loving is so good, so good, the closer

Leave it here
I want it, I want it,
I want to get closer to you baby
Experience...
I want it, I want it
Generous...
Lay closer,closer...
Cause I want to get closer... to you
6.Love's on Its Way
Oh Father,
I wish I had understanding.
Never known more
Never been so well informed
We know the score
Heard it all before,
But I've never felt more powerless
There's so much blood on the streets
So much hope refused
So much grainy teenage photographs on the evening news
Oo, when everywhere's violence
Silently I go
Love's on its way
I hope it won't be too late
When the day comes
And I've counted all my sins
How mant I'll see
I want to be able to say that I did more, more than pray
I did more
Than just spend my money
Just writing letters
Than just going out marching
I did more than talking and saying the right thing
Wearing the right thing
It's time for an uprising
Love's on its way
Hope it won't be too late
Love's on its way
Love's on its way
Love's on its way
Hope it won't be too late

8.Paris Nights New York Mornings
Breakfast at Mickey's, make-up still on
Elbows on the greasy table cloth
One more coffee and one last cigarette
Smiling at the rain cause you hold me close
My best dress on underneath this old coat
Walking down Bleecker no one is awake yet
Still, seven hours
Nothing but clouds
It's enough to make your heart sigh
We should try
So pick me up and take me out
Oo we crash into love-filled nights
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Oo we race till we're out of time
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
And now that you've taken me up so high
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I could see the lights from the restaurant
I couldn't quite perfect that nonchalance
Paris and champagne with one brown sugar cube
And we danced while the band played 'She's not there'
Kissed me in the rain by the Rue Voltaire
It's a perfectly good way to ruin those silk shoes
Still, seven hours
Nothing but clouds
It's enough to make your heart sigh
We should try
For each other and for the lovers
Oo we crash into love-filled nights
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Oo we race till we're out of time
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
And now that you've taken me up so high
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
You change and you grow
But we were young
We were young and we didn't know
We didn't know
Oo we crash into love-filled nights
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Oo we race till we're out of time
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
And now that you've taken me up so high
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

9.Paper Dolls
You have incredible eyes and all the boys will go wild for you
But I was scared in case you made me made do those things
But would you oh would you believe me that I was your fool
Cause I've been lying awake at night wondering where you are now
And if that metal turned out right
All my life all my life
I said it's not right
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
Yeah
I have tried I have tried
To say it's alright
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
You wore undoubtable smiles you were divorced from inside they
said
But I was disturbed when I heard that it's not what you
preferred It gets to the point they expected
And who are you to disappoint them anyway
Time will get you in the end
Just when you shook off that regret
Around the corner comes a Mary in a fur coat to talk about it
All my life all my life
I said it's not right
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
Yeah
I have tried I have tried
To say it's alright
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
Many words that have been spoken
Cut me out like paper dolls
Made me into something different
Something I could not dissolve
So far over don't their words slow ya
All my life all my life
I said it's not right
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
Yeah
I have tried I have tried
To say it's alright
Nobody told me I could do something
Nobody told me I could be something
10.Diving for Hearts
Till then I wasn't alive,
I longed for you like the lovesick moon pulls the tide.
So I peeled off my skin,
I just slipped right in
And I become alive.
'Cause down here there's no fear
There's no cause for panic
There's just bright cold calm,
I feel no harm.
This underwater feeling's abandon and it fires my heart.
Was it emotion
Or should I just keep on diving,
Keep on diving down?
Under this ocean
I long to keep on diving,
Till my heart is found.
It's got a hold on me
Can't forget the things I've seen
World will all end
And new worlds will begin
It's a thought so stark.
We're at once determinant,
Yet so insignificant,
Spinning out in the velvet dark.
Still, down here
There's no fear
There's no cause for panic
There's just this bright cold calm
Yeah, it leaves a scar
So show me how to find again,
If I'm lost, show me where you are
Was it emotion
Or should I just keep on diving,
Keep on diving down?
Under this ocean
I long to keep on diving,
Till my heart is found.
It's got a hold on me
Can't forget the things I've seen
11.The Sea
I never knew you were standing on this shore.
It says everything. Explains everything.
And then from then on it couldn't be just like before.
It says everything, changes everything.
So don't just stand there wishing life would fade away.
Don't you go around with anyone that makes you feel ashamed.
Goodbye Paradise...
I hope that someday you could try.
Goodbye... such a shame, that you 'd give it all away.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Saw your face in a faded light.
Said everything, explained everything.
In home saw you dazed and it comes to you a lie.
You did everything, blamed anything.
But don't you cut those ribbons to take away the pain.
Don't you go around with that same old crowd
that makes you feel ashamed.
Goodbye Paradise...
I hope that someday you could try.
Goodbye...such a shame that you'd give it all away.
Goodbye, goodbye paradise.
The Sea, the Majestic Sea.
Breaks everything, Crushes everything
Cleans everything, Takes everything from me.
