Badly Drawn Boy Lyrics

Badly Drawn Boy » A Minor Incident Lyrics

There's nothing I could say
To make you try to feel ok
And nothing you could do
To stop me feeling the way I do
And if the chance should happen
That I never see you again
Just remember that I'll always love you

I'd be a better person
On the other side I'm sure
You'd find a way to help yourself
And find another door
To shrug off minor incidents
And make us both feel proud
I just wish I could be there
To see you through

You always were the one
To make us stand out in a crowd
Though every once upon a while
Your head was in the cloud
There's nothing you could never do
To ever let me down
And remember that I'll always love you

Badly Drawn Boy » A Peak You Reach Lyrics

No sign of life
Pulsing through these ageing veins
I bet at your age
That's easier for you to say
Forcing answers into questions
And worrying that she might stop breathing
On and on we sift through alphabets of life
That never get us anywhere, anyway
I'd like to feel we have the best intentions
I want you to know
That I know it's not easy
I want you to know
That I know it's not easy, easy, easy

Then there's a peak you reach
Out to somebody that's never even there
Somebody that you may hope that might care
For nearby health or distant welfare
I'm pleased to hear
That your warmth is not freezing
Yeah I'm freezing
Cold

I don't to be alone
Is that out of the question
I'd like a happy home
Is that too obvious
Quit being pushed around
And stand on my feet
And kick all these losers
Out of my street

I've been losing confidence in the heat
Just when I'm feeling the strength
I get weak

[Repeat]

That is the peak you reach
I wanted somebody
A peak you reach
That's never even there
A peak you reach
I'd like you to feel we've reached our peak
Peak you reach

Badly Drawn Boy » Above You, Below Me Lyrics

Don't want to give
Don't want to steal
Don't want to be anything I'm not
You take answers
I give questions
Like some rolling monologue
Want to be the one to say
That today could be the day
A day to believe in what you know
Is what you know

I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
Find your lonely life bizarre
I know it's above you
I know it's below me

All this and more

Don't want to live life in your shoes
I don't feel I know the way
Feeling you
Giving me directions
I don't need
Up above and round we go
First it's fast and then it's slow
Could you connect with my intellect

I won't take you as you are
Please don't take me as I am
Find your lonely life bizarre
You see this in love
You see this in life

THrow an all year round reception
For a love with no connection
Knowing you knowing my
Ignorance to modern life

I know it's above me
I know it's below you
I know it's above me
I know it's below you

I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am

Find your lonely life bizarre
I know it's above you
I know it's below me

I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
There'll be something in the wind
To show us we're right
And tell us we're wrong

I want to know more

Badly Drawn Boy » All Possibilities Lyrics

All possibilities
Are landing at my feet
There's nothing I can see
But possibilities

All colours are changing in my eyes
Your hopes are all fading, that will never do
You're seeing the world through cynical eyes
I'm seeing the world through the eyes of somebody new
Oh there's a hope left, there's a dream still in my heart
Look past the answers, there's a chance that there's no rulebook for this love

All possibilities
Are landing at my feet
There's nothing I can see
But possibilities

All the colours are changing in my eyes
Your hopes are all fading, that will never do
You're seeing the world through cynical eyes
I'm seeing the world through the eyes of somebody new

Oh there's a hope left, there's a dream still in my heart
Look past the answers, there's a chance that there's no rulebook for this love

Badly Drawn Boy » Another Devil Dies Lyrics

Well your face still makes my day
Just like it did in the past
When you turned me away
I kept coming back for more
That's a choice I chose
You were so distant
But I stayed close

It feels like we've weathered the storm
Without having the privilege of calm

And when we sing
I hear another devil dies
When that bell rings
An angel gets its wings
And if I pushed
Would you all fall down?
Coz I don't need this on my back

The hatred will tear us apart
If you don't do what you did at the start

Should I go or will you stay
We'll find a plan of attack
There's a price to pay
For showing no reaction
To all the simple things
In time you will know what I know
But for now you win

The hatred will tear us apart
Another devil will take out your heart

But when we sing
I hear another devil dies
When that bell rings
An angel gets its wings
And if I pushed
Would you all fall down
Coz I don't need this on my back

It seems like we've weathered the storm
Without having the privilege of calm

Badly Drawn Boy » Another Pearl Lyrics

Why are you trembling so much
I don't think I ever felt so good
When all I need is to be free
Where I love you and you love me
Follow the circle sur la plage
On a mono coloured trip voyage
This is the colour of my world
Stay and watch me find another pearl

Follow the gold leaf trail back where
We were young and didn't have a care
Tracing the circles that we made
I don't wanna live life in the shade
Will this be a desert or a beach
Or a place to find the things we need

Now you and I make up perfect things
Watch me trade my wheels for wings
But don't ever use the wings to fly
Just the essence of a lullaby
Now I am a giant grain of sand
But I maybe slipping through your hand
Follow my colour coded world
And I watch me find another pearl

It's a sound that I love
And it came from above
There's the sound of the sea
Are you following me?

Let's walk to the sound of distant shells
To a place where life would have no end
You'd be the mother of my pearls
If you follow me into my world
Back to a place where we'd be free
Where I love you and you love me
This is the colour of my world
Watch me find another pearl

Badly Drawn Boy » Bedside Story Lyrics

Goodnight my answer, your dreams are still sweet
Goodnight, be careful with yourself
Don't worry about the money, forget about the wealth

You'll be my angel, divert me from hell
Help me, protect me from myself
Don't worry, don't worry

Goodnight my answer, goodnight my answer
Goodnight my answer
Goodnight my answer
Goodnight my answer

Badly Drawn Boy » Born Again Lyrics

Maybe there's a reason why I'm born again
There's something rare going on under my skies
You got to chill out, find a reason for your soul again
And judge the miracle by feel, not size
Infinite the reasons why I'm born again
The modern innocents have soul on their side

Try to capture reasons why I'm born again
The more I look at it the less that I find
But I wont bail, they will be a reason for my soul again
Another miracle has seasoned my mind

Maybe there's a reason why I'm born again
There's something real going on under my skies

I'm born again
My soul again
I'm born again
Find my soul again

Born again
Born again
Find my soul again
And I'm born again
My soul again
Born again, born again, born again, born again

Badly Drawn Boy » Camping Next To Water Lyrics

Camping next to water
A fish infested slaughter
I feed the fishes into me
It's misty within reason
I'm hoping I don't freeze here
I fuel the fire, feed its glow
But there's no use in feeling
All the things I'm feeling
There's no one here to feel with me

The second day is easier
Though it may be breezier
And the snow is falling down
But as the fire smoulders
I never will grow older
Because I drink from waterfalls
The stars above shine on me
I beckon them to fall on me
I'll catch and save them in a jar

My feet a mass of blisters
Collecting frost on whiskers
As I taste the morning dew
I think my mind is clearer now
I want you to be nearer now
I'm ready to come back to you
Cause there's no use in feeling
All the things I'm feeling
There's no one here to feel with me

Badly Drawn Boy » Cause A Rockslide Lyrics

Can I get close to ya
If only for a while
I don't need to busy you
You're the jive guru and I want to sing along with you
With you
Your sweetness, would cause a rockslide
If only before the summertime
This could be our last goodbye
Please darling please don't cry
Ooh ooh

Can I get close to ya
If only for a while
I don't need to busy you
You're the jive guru and I want to sing along with you
Sing along with you
Your sweetness, would cause a rockslide
If only before the summertime
This could be our last goodbye
Please darling please don't cry
Ooh ooh

Badly Drawn Boy » Disillusion Lyrics

Seems you created your own illusion
Fuelled by an image of me
Well I couldn't stay at your side
It wouldn't be right
A picture that I just don't see

Why do you have to make it so complicated
Can't it just be beautiful
I don't want to stifle your flight
I didn't mean to fall in love

Always in pursuit of the perfect people
Oh and I can see that it shows
But there's just an innocence in you I wanna wring out
I know it could be beautiful

But I don't want a part ofsome situation
I don't want to be in that boat
I don't want to stifle your flight
I didn't mean to fall in love

Seems you created your own illusion
Fuelled by an image of me
Well I couldn't stay at your side
It wouldn't be right
A picture that I just don't see

Badly Drawn Boy » Donna & Blitzen Lyrics

Merry Christmas

Pay for the light
But you may still slide
Baby it's not your sleigh ride
But this year is ours
Maybe tomorrow
We're gonna see things we never believed
I'll make you want me you'll see
The initial warning is free
But only to reindeer
Oh what a sight
As they take their first flight
Oh darling it's all in time
But I will (To repeat)

We're going to turn all men in to the sky
Oh what a sight, beautiful
And I will, I will sleep tonight

I will sleep tonight

Badly Drawn Boy » Easy Love Lyrics

Never had an easy love
Never had an easy love
Like the one I'm dreaming of
Find a hand that fits the glove
Of love
Of love

Talking to a friend yesterday
It was good to hear him say
That although two years had passed
Still felt like she could ask
Of my time, of my time
Seems I did something right
Something right

Looking for another pearl

Badly Drawn Boy » Epitaph Lyrics

Please don't leave me
Wanting more
I hope you never die
There's no need to say why
Just promise that you'll try
To give me all you can
I'll never ask for more
There's new life through the door
A cradle rocks and falls
As new fruit fills the tree
Cements the melody
To signify we're free
Our troubles passing

Through decaying
Simple times
I'll tread you're trail with pride
C'est maintenant decide
I've nothing better
Please don't leave me
Wanting more
I hope you never die
There's no need to say why
Just promise that you'll try

Badly Drawn Boy » Everybody's Stalking Lyrics

Been feeling high, and then feeling low
Just strap your hands across my engines
I'm not broke so please don't mend me
You're like a neon sign, just burn so bright
Penetrates like an infection
Gives me feelings I can't mention

Maybe all I need, you need too
Don't wait for me, I'll wait for you

I'm gonna follow you around
I'm gonna wear you down
I don't want to alienate you
You've got as long as it might take you
Things come in ones, and double up to two
Don't wanna rain on your procession
Only seeking your obsession

Maybe all I need, you need too
Don't wait for me, I'll wait for you

Might take a little time
Got all the time we need
i'm not here to try and fool you
Just trying to break on through you
That wasn't right, but then's nothings wrong
I've got a feeling it's all right
I gotta keep you in my sights

Maybe all I need, you need too
Don't wait for me, I'll wait for you

Maybe all I need, you need too,
Don't wait for me, I'll wait for you

Don't wait for me, I'll wait for you

Badly Drawn Boy » Fall In A River Lyrics

Don't ask me where to fall in a river
Might not deliver you all the way home
I guess that you think I'm stupid or something
Well that's a good thing
That's okay

Well that's a good thing, that's okay

Badly Drawn Boy » Fewer Words Lyrics

Bet you wish you knew what time it is
And it's clear that you don't
Understand a love that requires fewer words
It's been a while since we spoke
But there's still hope
If we materialise the myth
Never trivialise the kiss
Oh it feels like there's no fire left in your eyes
This is how love dies
This is how love dies

Badly Drawn Boy » File Me Away Lyrics

File me away
In your heart someday
You just be you
I'll be me ok

[Ad lib]

File me away
In your heart someday
You just be you
I'll be me ok

[Ad lib]

File me away
In your heart someday
You just be you
I'll be me ok

Badly Drawn Boy » Four Leaf Clover Lyrics

Go on do what you've got to do.
You've got your dreams I've got mine too.
Be strong get off at the next stop.
Don't worry about a thing.
Keep taking it easy.
This time it's not personal.
The universe will help you now.
To find a place you can breathe.
And do what you've got to do.
Keep taking it easy.
Keep taking it easy.
Come on.
I'll let you borrow my four leaf clover.
Come on.
Take it with you, you can pass it on.
Come on.
You know I'm not the kind to say that it's over.
We'll be rubbing shoulders once again in the sun.
Come on.
Take your dreams, where nobody can find them.
Come on.
You know I won't be happy till you've won.
So come on.
Come on over, borrow my clover.
Is there anything left that you haven't done?
Go on do what you've got to do.
You've got your dreams I've got mine too.
Be strong get off at the next stop.
Don't worry about a thing.
Keep taking it easy.

Badly Drawn Boy » Have You Fed The Fish? Lyrics

The keys to your heart open the door to the world
You've got to give me two days
And woman I'll make you a girl

Sometimes you've got to rewind to go forward
There's some good times around the corner
But have you fed the fish today?
Have you made your wish today?

I need a new eiderdown
I want some binoculars
Don't want to be obvious
I want to surprise myself
I've killed all the mockingbirds
I've wrestled the octopus
I came out with extra arms
To carry your baggage

Sometimes you've got to rewind to go forward
There's some good times around the corner
But have you fed the fish today?
Have you made your wish today?

Badly Drawn Boy » Holy Grail Lyrics

Do you know where we're going to?
Do you know what we will do when we arrive?
As I wait for you to set sail.
Don't you know that I hope you find your holy grail.
Suffered in silence so long.
Don't you know it's easy to see where you went wrong.
You forgot you've got oxygen running through your veins.
Suffered in silence so long.
Can't you see it's easy to know where you went wrong.
You forgot you've got oxygen running through your veins.
Do you know where we're going to?
Do you know what we will do when we arrive?
As I wait for you to set sail.
Don't you know that I hope you find your Holy Grail.

Badly Drawn Boy » How? Lyrics

What if there is nothing else for us after all this
I don't care, I don't mind, just as long as we find sometime
Just come back and I'll stay out of the way
An be all the things you need
Another mouth to feed

How can I be sure again, once more
How can I find time to be with you again?

How can I give you the answers you need
When all I possess is a melody?
Yeah, how can I take up the air that you breathe
When all I possess is a melody?

How can I be sure, again, once more?
I don't care, I don't mind, just as long as we find some time
When you come back I'll go out of my way to be all the things you need
Another mouth to feed

How can I give you the answers you need
When all I possess is a melody?
Yeah, how can I take up the air that you breathe
When all I possess is a melody?

How can I find time to be with you again?
When you come back I go out of my way
And be all the things you need
Another mouth to feed
