Turned Upside Down
Turned Upside Down
You know him well
I can tell by the look in your eyes, you're hiding lies
he knows you too, he's slept with you but you say it's not true
when I ask you
But he only wants sex just to get over his ex,
and that will probably hurt you
it's hurting me too
but If i was you I'd say 'fuck you we're through, we're through'
But all the things I wanna say are in my head
along with the final words you said
but I wish you just stopped and turned around
before my world turned upside down
You know him well
I can tell by the look in your eyes, you're hiding lies
he knows you too, he's slept with you but you say it's not true
when I ask you
But he only wants sex just to get over his ex,
and that will probably hurt you
it's hurting me too
but If i was you I'd say 'fuck you we're through, we're through'
But all the things I wanna say are in my head
along with the final words you said
but I wish you just stopped and turned around
before my world turned upside down

JAZZ CABBAGE
It's late but I wanna say that I need you so
never ever, ever want to let you
and it's so strange you're in the back of my mind,
when you're all alone and feeling kind
but is it too late for me to be what I want to be?
It's late but I wanna know what I need to know
will you ever, ever, ever let me go (ever, ever let me go)
and it's so strange you're in the back of my heart,
when we're all alone and torn apart
and it's too late for you to do what you need to do
I try to call you but you don't reply
you don't answer and here's the reason why
you're either drunk or high
or living life or living lies
and I try to love you but you don't reply
you don't answer and here's the reason why
I love you too but I'm already over you
I try to call you but you don't reply
you don't answer and here's the reason why
you're either drunk or high
or living life or living lies
and I try to love you but you don't reply
you don't answer and here's the reason why
I love you too but I'm already over you (already over you)
I try to call you but you don't reply
you don't answer and here's the reason why
I love you too but I'm already over you
BOYFRIEND
Do you still love you ex boyfriend?
will this feeling ever end?
can I commend him for stealing your heart
done something that only a few can do
he's broken you're heart and he's broken you
but you still love him too
In my room trying not to cry
our love was just a lie
Do you still love you ex boyfriend?
will this feeling ever end?
can I commend him for stealing your heart
But love isn't everything thats true
but for me it was and all I want is you
but he wants you too
but when he does break your heart again
you'll run back to me but I'll say no,
you're not my friend
what don't you comprehend?
In my room trying not to cry
our love was just a lie
Do you still love you ex boyfriend?
will this feeling ever end?
can I commend him for stealing your heart
can I commend him for stealing your heart
UNDERSTAND
What do you do in the night,
when you're not feeling right?
don't you understand I wanna be your man?
What do you do in the day,
when you're love has gone away?
don't you understand I wanna be your man?
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
don't you understand I wanna be your man?
What do you do with your heart,
now we're torn apart?
don't you understand I wanna be your man?
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
don't you understand I wanna be your man?
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
don't you understand I wanna be your man?
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your man
BUT SHE'S JUST A LITTLE SHY
Her friends say she likes me but she's always to shy,
to tell me what she's feeling and whats on her mind
but I wish she'd just tell me what's gone a rye
but she's just a little shy
When it's comes to anything but loves she's always,
"Mrs Chatterbox" and "Mr Uncut"
but when the subjects changed to her love life
then she goes a little shy
The little saying and the things she do,
make my heart beata nd make my eyes blue
I wish she'd just tell me what's truth and lie
but she's just a little shy
Her friends say she likes me but she's always to shy,
to tell me what she's feeling and whats on her mind
but I wish she'd just tell me what's gone a rye
but she's just a little shy (Just too shy, too shy)
but she's just a little shy (Just too shy, too shy)
When it's comes to anything but loves she's always,
"Mrs Chatterbox" and "Mr Uncut"
but when the subjects changed to her love life
then she goes a little shy
I CAN'T HELP IT (IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU)
Can you repeat those words you said,
the words you said when you were stuck in my head,
in early may, the glory days
can you whisper then in my ear, in my ear so I can hear them clear and understand you and just to get close to you
what a shame that the words you said were filled with dread,
and hurt my head as you said them,
and I felt them
"sorry that I've taken so long I've been choosing my words so not to upset, but they still do. Well I like you loads as a mate and being in your company's always great but I'm sorry I'm just not ready to get close to you"
Well I should have seen it from the very start
my friends said that you would break my heart
but I didn't listen to my mates
coz I took you on three dates
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
well, I can't help it if I love you
although you don't love me too
I still wanna get close to you
We're currently in the awkward stage
the stage where we both don't know what to say or do
coz you know I still love you
well I'm sure that you had some love,
but were too shy to show it when it was about me
and you would rather see me lonely that say how you really feel
Well I should have seen it from the very start
my friends said that you would break my heart
but I didn't listen to my mates
coz I took you on three dates
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you (still in love, still in love)
well, I can't help it if I love you (still in love, still in love)
although you don't love me too
I still wanna get close to you
(arr arr arr close to you, oo oo) x2
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you (still in love)
well, I can't help it if I love you (not in love)
although you don't love me too
I still wanna get close to you
(still in love, still in love,still in love arr arr)
although you don't love me too
I still wanna get close to you
(still in love, still in love,still in love arr arr)
although you don't love me too
I still wanna get close to you
THINK IT THROUGH
You said you would be here at four,
but I don't know if you're coming around anymore
coz you're always late and you're always down
and you'll get dropped off in the middle of town
it's always funny when you say I'm cool,
coz you didn't even know me when I was at school
five o' clock and you're still not home,
I guess I'll just wait around for you on my own
You said you would be coming soon,
so I don't really understand what to do
coz you're always troubled and you're always tired and ,
nothing you do will ever be admired
coz you're always late and you're always down
and you'll get dropped off in the middle of town
but I still want you too
so I'm gonna wait up and talk to you
Every night I'm sitting on my own,
waiting around for you to call me on my telephone
But you never do
coz that's you
I really need to think this through before I call you
coz I don't know what to do
You say your friends like me too
but I don't really think that they fucking do
coz I'm always late and I'm always down
and I'll get dropped off in the middle of town
they think I'm strange in a normal way,
because I lay in bed at night and I smoke in the day
although you don't know what I do
I'm still gonna wait up and talk to you
Every night I'm sitting on my own,
waiting around for you to call me on my telephone
But you never do
coz that's you
I really need to think this through before I call you
coz I don't know what to do
Every night I'm sitting on my own,
waiting around for you to call me on my telephone
But you never do
coz that's you
I really need to think this through before I call you
coz I don't know what to do
(I don't know what to do, I need to think it through)
(I don't know what to do, I need to think it through)
I DON'T KNOW
Tonight I love you so,
will this feeling ever go?
well, I don't know
I don't know
and tonight you'll cry,
coz love is in your eye and it's not in mine
but I think it might be the time
that love is fine
So hold me close and don't let go
never, ever ever let me go
so hold me close and hold me tight tonight,
coz love is right
coz love is right
Tonight I want you so,
will this feeling ever go?
well, I don't know
I don't know
and tonight I'll cry,
coz love is in your eye and it's not in mine
but I think it might be the time
that love is fine
So hold me close and don't let go
never, ever ever let me go
so hold me close and hold me tight tonight,
coz love is right
coz love is right
So hold me close and don't let go
never, ever ever let me go
so hold me close and hold me tight tonight,
coz love is right
coz love is right
love is right
coz love is right
MODERN WORLD
Think about what's been said today
your life's dull, black and grey
but it's okay
coz it's a modern world
Hear what they're saying in the streets
earths empty, dead and bleak
but it's okay
coz it's a modern world
What's been gained from having more time to cry?
when you're on your own
this world will pass you by
You know what you've got to do,
make a world that's fresh and new
how dare you
coz it's a modern world
things have gotta change some how
stiff upper lip and highbrow
are no use now
coz it's a modern world
What's been gained from having more time to cry?
when you're on your own
this world will pass you by
coz it's a modern world
it's a modern world
coz it's a modern world
coz it's a modern world
it's a modern world
coz it's a modern world
it's a modern world
it's a modern world
SOMEHOW / BED
Somehow
Now I'm alone
sitting in my room on my phone
sleeping through the days and nights
my heart is not right
And I think of you
in a way that I used
but nowI can't have you
coz you've got somebody new
And I close the blinds
but you're still all that's on my mind
and I wonder what you're doing now
and try not to cry somehow
Bed
White socks, old shoes, the blues
the three things you'll never lose
but you can't decide where to go,
got no cash or tobacco
Pinging head? feeling dead? need you bed?
you don't know what I said
coz you're on your own
with no battery on your broken phone
Wide eyed? tongue tied? feeling high?
all the things you try to deny are all true
but thats just my point of view
heavy heart, another part, brand new start
wavy vision that's your decision
as well as long
coz that's all you're thinking of
DECEMBER
In one day, I'll tell you somehow, how I really feel
in one hour I'll show you that my love
and you'll love it too
coz its predictable just like you
and it's hard to say what I want when what I want is you
does that mean we're over?
does that mean we're through?
if you're using different words
it still hurts
But in a way that I can't say in just another line
"You'll be okay" & " You'll be fine" is all I hear from my friends
but when will my heart mend?
Does it hurt when I see you walking down the street
does it remind you that we were supposed to meet,
but you decided not to show
and that's just fucking low
You've got a way to keep me off your wicked, wicked mind
"I'll be okay" & " I'll be fine" is all that you tell your friends
but your heart won't mend
In one day, I'll tell you somehow, how I really feel
in one hour I'll show you that my love
and you'll love it too
coz its predictable just like you
WIDE EYED
Check your phone I'm all alone and just waiting around for you
coz I make you cry and I made you blue
what a shame the blame is on my loving heart
but your half the blame you don't feel no shame and I do
Heartache, heartbreak, heart fake and loving too
four things I thought you'd make me do
it's all a lie but all I cry is 'loving you'
but I'm sure you cried
and you eyes went wide when we got high
Check the sky if you're up too high and don't know who you are
if I made you cry it's all a lie I just went to far
you've gotta try or love won't find you anywhere
and I'm sure you denied
you always cried when we got high
Turned Upside Down
You know him well
I can tell by the look in your eyes, you're hiding lies
he knows you too, he's slept with you but you say it's not true
when I ask you
But he only wants sex just to get over his ex,
and that will probably hurt you
it's hurting me too
but If i was you I'd say 'fuck you we're through, we're through'
But all the things I wanna say are in my head
along with the final words you said
but I wish you just stopped and turned around
before my world turned upside down
