I Want Someone Badly

Now I want someone badly
Got a girl here tonight
Want someone new
Someone new

But (a) little cry wants someone badly
Wanna know if this is a bad lease on me
(I want know)
I want know
Am I sure that I heard you right
I want to know
If you're leaving just do it tonight

Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
Better listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything to it with me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right 

Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
Better listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything to it with me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right 

Now I, I want someone badly
Could it be true
That someone is you

Manchester

I wrote me a book
I hid the last page
I didn't even look
I think I locked it in a cage
Wrote a novel
Cause everybody likes to read a novel...

It started with a word,
and it started pretty well
about a rare and fragile bird that I couldn't even spell
on the table
I think I left it on the table...

I found the last page in the sky,
cold and sweet, like an apple
I found you and now the story has its proper end

Oh hello,
will you be mine?
I haven't felt this alive in a long time
All the streets are warm today

I read the signs
I haven't been this in love in a long time
the sun is up, the sun will stay
Oh for the new day

The very last breath of the hero of our tale,
would lead you only to guess
Did he truly prevail
in the sequel?
I guess I'll have to write a sequel...

My favourite part's when I die
in your arms like a movie
It's tragic, but now the story has it's proper end

Oh hello,
will you be mine?
I haven't felt this alive in a long time
All the streets are warm and gray

I read the signs
I haven't been this in love in a long time
The sun is up, the sun will stay
All for the new day

Will you be mine?
The days are short and I wrote me my last rhyme
All the streets are warm today
I read the signs
I haven't been this in love in a long time

It's been a long time

Hold The Line

It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

 

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

 

It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

 

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

 

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

 

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time (Love isn't always on time)

 

Hold the line, love isn't always on time (love isn't always, love isn't always on time)
Hold the line, love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
