Verse
It’s about the time of night that you need to get home
The walls are spinning and you cannot find your phone
Your feet are dragging and your brain has gone haywire
Your head is spinning, just like a rolling tire
Oh, I said oh
You’re doin’ all the things I don’t
Chorus
Till they play your favourite song, And you
You start to sing along, To the
Words are in your heart and from your head
Verse
Bad thoughts are starting to seem like some good ideas
You no longer feel pain
You no longer feel fear
Your mind is empty, yet you feel like you’re on fire
Your head is spinning, just like a rolling tire
Oh, I said Oh
You’re doin’ all the things I don’t
Chorus
They play your favourite song, And you
You start to sing along, to the
Words are in your heart and from your head
Your arms are waving round and your feet pounding the ground
With your, baby in your arms you are
Oh yeh
Bridge
Put your hands up, move em’ all around and put your feet
Shimmer to the ground
Put your hands up, move em’ all around and put your feet
Shimmer to the ground
Put your hands up, move em’ all around and put your feet
Shimmer to the ground
Put your hands up move em’ all around and put your feet
Chorus
They play your favourite song, And you
You start to sing along, to the
Words are in your heart and from your head
Your arms are waving round and your feet pounding the ground
With your, baby in your arms you are
I said you are
You’re doin’ all the things I don’t.

Verse
Its been a long time coming now
I don’t know where to look
Like a scene from a movie, like pages in a book
The crows they’re circling, they’re waiting for fresh meat
You better start hustling, you better get up, get up and move your feet
Chorus
I can catch more fly with sugar boy
Baby you ain’t no fly to me

Baby you ain’t no fly to me
I can catch more fly with sugar boy
Baby you ain’t no fly to me

Always knew it was better to be
To be cruel then kind
Never got my way from being, sweeter than your wine
If you’re a rose, then I’ll be the thorns that are on your vine
You better start hustling, you better get up, get up and move your feet
Chorus
I can catch more fly with sugar boy
Baby you ain’t no fly to me

Young Again
04:50
|
|||
Chorus
When I die
Know I’ll be young again
And all my old and broken bones will mend
Dry all my tears, that I once cried for you
And I’ll meet you for that first time again
Verse
Do you still see me like you used too?
Not just some broken shell, that everyone else do
Years have gone by, but I don’t feel older
I just feel lost and a little bit colder
I hope I didn’t break you, Know that I didn’t mean to
I hope I didn’t make you doubt who you’d become
But see I got some reasons to be somebody
I’ve got some people who need me to be someone
Chorus
When I die
Know I’ll be young again
And all my old and broken bones will mend
Dry all my tears, that I once cried for you
And I’ll meet you for that first time again
Verse
Oh I hope I didn’t break you
Know that I didn’t mean too
I hope I didn’t you doubt who you’d become
But see I got some reasons to be somebody
I’ve got some people who need me to be someone
Chorus
When I die
Know I’ll be young again
And all my old and broken bones will mend
Dry all my tears, that I once cried for you
And I’ll meet you for that first time again
When I die
I’ll be young again
And all my old and broken bones will mend
Dry all my tears, that I once cried for you
And I’ll meet you for that first time again
And I’ll meet you for that first time again
And I’ll meet you for that first time again

Shouldn't Of
03:00
|
|||
Verse
I met a boy he was so fine
He kept on giving me some line
Right from his head until his toes
He was good looking, I’d lose control
I knew that he could be a jerk
Kinda guys who’d treat women like dirt
While he was busy with defiling
He forgot the satisfying
Chorus
I thought he was, thought he was her man
I thought he would, thought he’d understand
I thought he knew, what he meant to me
So I gave him things I shouldn’t of
Verse
I met a boy, he was so cute
He kept on giving me that look
That look of depth and understanding
So sensitive and undemanding
I met a boy he was so sweet
Some kinda candy counted treat
If I could go back to that day
I probably would have done it that same way
Chorus
I thought he was, thought he was her man
I thought he would, thought he’d understand
I thought he knew, what he meant to me
So I gave him things I shouldn’t of
Thought he was her man, I shouldn’t of
Thought he’d understand, I shouldn’t of
What he meant to me,
But I gave him things I shouldn’t of
Oh no, oh no
Bridge
I thought he was my boy I thought he was
So I gave him things that I shouldn’t of
I thought he was my boy I thought he was
So I gave him things that I shouldn’t of
Chorus
I thought he was, thought he was her man
I thought he would, thought he’d understand
I thought he knew, what he meant to me
So I gave him things I shouldn’t of
Thought he was her man, I shouldn’t of
Thought he’d understand, I shouldn’t of
What he meant to me
But I gave him things I shouldn’t of
Thought he was her man, I shouldn’t of
Thought he’d understand, I shouldn’t of
What he meant to me
But I gave him things I shouldn’t of

Chorus
He’s a sad a cowardly cowboy
With a record in his hand
He’s a sad and cowardly cowboy
That no women understands
Verse
He’s so far away from nowhere
He’s too far away from here
And he gets lost in the daytime
In the night time sees clear
And he’s calling for his baby
He keeps calling loud and long
But there’s no way she can hear him
Maybe she will hear his song
Chorus
He’s a sad a cowardly cowboy
With a record in his hand

And he cries tell me that I’m someone
That my life means more than this
That my weaknesses mean nothing babe
If I could have your kiss
Verse
He’s a lion with no courage
He’s a bird that’s got no flight

If he could have one night
There were times when he was braver
There were times when he was strong
But I don’t know where that man went
I don’t know what went wrong
Chorus
He’s a sad a cowardly cowboy
With a record in his hand
He’s a sad and cowboy

Don’t you know that I’ve got to
Got to tow the line

Verse
Its been a cold day, I can feel it in my bones
Like an old woman, one who just knows
When the storm is coming home
I guess you dug this grave a long time ago
With the things you did, the people that you know
Guess you’ll never, never make amends
Chorus
I said I’d laugh at your funeral baby
Here I am crying instead
Cos I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
But you knew that

So many scars that are from my past
But none would stay, no none that would last
Except the ones you made on me

I said I’d laugh at your funeral baby
Here I am crying instead
I said I’d laugh at your funeral baby
Here I am standing black
Cos I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
But you knew that

Tell me is this counterfeit
Or am I in pain
Tell me is it me that we bury today
The weight of guilt, its haunting me now
It’s pulling me further down, in the ground
Down in the ground, ohhhhh
Chorus
I said I’d laugh at your funeral baby
Here I am crying instead
I said I’d laugh at your funeral baby
Here I am standing in black

But you knew that
Oh
Cos I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
Cos I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
Cos I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
But you knew that

Take me to the interstate
