Pocketful of Sunshine

He was a running spring of fresh hopes,
you wanted to marry him then
You wanna start living again
If I could, l’d put some blue sky in your head
Five o’clock on a winter’s day, lamps on in every room
You’re wishing your life away
If I could, I would
If I could, l’d put some blue sky in your head
You were a running spring of fresh hopes,
I don’t know how to begin
I wanna start living again
If I could, l’d put some blue sky in your head
You were a running spring of fresh hopes,
you had your pockets full of sunshine
I had my hands full of rain
If I could, I would
If I could, l’d put some blue sky in your head
Some of us will never have that
Goodnight my city, goodnight my pretty
Some fall in love, some fall in loneliness…

Whatever it was that went wrong,
she poured it into sang
Whatever it was that went wrong
Write your way of town, write your way out of sorrow
Years of running round had worn you out
With your notebooks in a shoebox,
mattress up on milk crates
And the days repeating themselves
Weil hold on, that’s all l’m asking you to do
Hold on, I know l’m asking for a lot
But hold on-this isn ’t final
Write your way of town, write your way out of sorrow
Could you write your way back to me some day?
For a while the missing stops,
then it just starts up again
I don’t know how this ends
Well hold on, that’s all l’m asking you to do
Hold on, I know l’m asking for a lot
Hold on-this isn’t final
No feeling is final, just keep going
Hold on… no feeling is final

Where You Used to Be

Half of me is with you now, half of me is in the past
Ask me about goals, you know I don’t have any
Ask me about wishes you know I got plenty of them
l’ve had plenty of them
You built your life on those end of night choices
You only trust those seen-it-all-before voices now
Are you listening?
There’s a hole in the world where you used to be
There’s a hole in the world
Summer’s here then summer’s done,
remind me now of all that’s gone
Summer comes and summer goes
and the world we used to know
Patsy Cline was playing in the park in the evening
Patsy Cline was singing ’bout the pieces he left her in
Are you listening?
There’s a hole in the world where you used to be
There’s a hole in the world
Ask me about goals, you know I don’t have any
Ask me about wishes you know I got plenty of them
l’ve had plenty of them
Half of me is with you now, half of me is in the past
Half of me is with you now, half of me is in the past
Are you listening?
There’s a hole in the world
Where you used to be, where you used to be…

What's Beauty to Do?

That was your special gift-
to take something good and make a mess of it
l’d lost you, was in a daze,
had to go and find myself some other way to live
What’s beauty to do in the face of it all?
What’s beauty to you? lt’s a light in the dark
What’s beauty to do in the face of it all?
lt doesn’t save anyone, doesn’t change anything
Makes nothing happen yet happiness happens again
That was your special gift-
to take something good and make a mess of it
l’d lost you, was in a daze,
had to go and find myself some other way to live
l’m all mixed up, l’ve never saved anyone
l’d run through bullets for you
but it never saved anyone
I could find my way blindfold
through the dark and the rain
The feeling I had then I won’t get back again
That was your special gift-
to take something good and make a mess of it
l’d lost you, was in a daze,
had to go and find myself some other way to live…
l’d lost you, l’d lost you
Made a mess of me, made a mess of you
Made a mess of me, made a mess of you
lt’s a light in the dark, it’s a light in the dark,
it’s a light in the dark
What’s beauty to you?
lt’s a light in the dark

Butterfly Kiss

Sha-la-la-la la la
Sha-la-la-la la la
Lucy the world has changed,
l’m sorry we’re left behind
You said the years were running out,
so you changed your mind
O Lucy the world has changed. We’re all fucked up
Please don’t judge me now, there’ll be time for that
You saved my life with a butterfly kiss
I had so many troubles that nothing could fix
Even the guy I was in Twenty Ten
is a stranger to me now
I know where we’re going now,
the world of never again
Every memory I have is a danger to me now
O Lucy the world has changed,
I’m sorry you’re left behind
But it’s not such a bad thing if people were kind
You saved my life with a butterfly kiss
I had so many troubles that nothing could fix
Instead of singing through the Summer
I shoulda worked instead
I went singing through the Summer, singing
I went singing through the Summer, singing
Singing through the Summer, I went singing
I went singing through the Summer
Jake, Jake, Jake-this is Chinatown…
You saved my life with a butterfly kiss,
so many troubles I just couldn’t fix
I went singing through the Summer,
then the Winter set in
I went singing through the Summer,
then the Winter set in
When it’s gone, it’s gone… it’s gone, it’s gone
Even the guy I was in Twenty Ten
is a stranger to me now
Even the guy I was in Twenty Ten
is a stranger to me now
So many troubles… a stranger to me now
Every memory I have is a danger to me now
Every memory I have is a danger to me now
Every memory I have
I went singing through the Summer…
then the Winter set in

Sit there and stare at the rain on the window
Sandy is singing… where does the time go?
Well I turned up after she’d gone
I look care of you. We talked through till dawn.
You and I know it’s no country for old men
The streets that we scored on, we’ll never go back
Well I played all the broken down songs
Stayed up with you after he’d gone
Did the world let you down?
Did the world let you down?
Chaos and laughter, that’s what we went after
You ran through your life like a cat in the rain
And I played all the broken down songs
I stayed up with you. We talked through the dawn.
I made a thousand wishes and it got me nowhere
Got me nowhere, got me nowhere, got me nowhere
I made a thousand wishes and it got me nowhere
Got me nowhere, got me nowhere
Got me nowhere
No, no, no, nowhere

It’s a mystery to me now, what I ever saw in you
I believed in your talent, I believed in your luck
But it’s such a long time since I gave a fuck about you
Don’t give a fuck about you anymore
It’s a history of need now. l’m sorry that I ghosted you
The nights that we had, the good and the bad
What does it matter
if I don’t give a fuck about you anymore?
I know the troubles you stared down
There are some you can’t defeat
You got so good at giving up
but no one’s as good as me…
There was a time when I thought about you,
there was a time
I like living without you. Can’t you see l’m getting by?
Except when l’m dreaming or drinking,
breathing or sleeping
Walking or talking
I don’t give a fuck about you anymore
You won’t be so sad anymore,
it won’t be so bad anymore
You won’t be so sad anymore,
it won’t be so bad anymore…

The Fading Light
06:40
|
|||
|
They drove on through the fading light
They drove on through the fading light
What they’re looking for aint there anymore,
the places no longer exist
Looking good and going nowhere,
that was the story of our lives
You count the Springs, the Autumns too,
you count the seasons left for you
More behind than up ahead, more behind you now
Her childhood towns all fog and rain,
a past that calls her back again
Her ups and downs and Saturdays,
the rides she’ll never take again
Our England’s gone and so are you
Our England’s gone
You don’t look back or regret it,
the women in and out of your life
Had the years made it better,
all that waking alone in the night?
Wanting you was a habit I was quitting
and quitting again
But I knew that it mattered
and l’d always give in in the end
Her life seemed stopped, her life seemed over,
thirty three last October
I’ve heard it all before you said,
won’t someone put the moon to bed?
More behind than up ahead, more behind you now
Oh you were so unlike the rest,
my North, my South, my East and West
You were so unlike… the rest
Driving down deserted streets,
twilight filled with old defeats
They drove on through the fading light
Emily was left behind to find her way without you
The ones we love are torn from us for no good reason
They drove on through the fading light
I’ll never leave you, that’s what I said
I’ll never leave you
They drove on through the fading light
Won’t someone put the moon to bed?
