Jamie Cullum - Pointless Nostalgic (2003) by Jamie Cullum (보컬) on maniadb.com

You and the night and the music
Fill me flaming desire
Setting my being completely on fire
You and the night and the music
Thrill me but will we be one
After the night and the music are done

Until the pale light of dawn and in daylight
Hearts will be throbbing guitars
Morning will come without warning and take away the stars
If we must live for the moment
Love 'til the moment is through
After the night and the music die
Will I have you?

Until the pale light of dawn and in daylight
Hearts will be throbbing guitars
Morning will come without warning and take away the stars
If we must live for the moment
Love 'til the moment is through
After the night and the music die
Will I have you?

No cares for me im happy as i can be
I learned to love and to live
Devil may care
No cares for woes whatever comes later goes
Thats how i'll take and i'll give
Devil may care

When the day is through i suffer no regrets
I know that he who frets loses the night
For only a fool thinks he can hold back the doe
He who is wise never tries to revise whats past and gone

Live, love today and come tomorrow what may
Dont even stop for a sigh it doesnt help if you cry
Thats how i'll live and i'll die
Devil may care
Devil may care
Devil may care

When the day is through i suffer no regrets
I know that he who frets loses the night
For only a fool thinks he can hold back the doe
He who is wise never tries to revise whats past and gone

Live, love today and come tomorrow what may
Dont even stop for a sigh it doesnt help if you cry
Thats how i'll live and i'll die
Devil may care
Devil may care
Devil may care
Devil may care

Ain't thinking 'bout love today
Lost in the sunlight
Walking down memory lane

Ain't thinking 'bout you today
People from the past that I knew
Are slowly slipping away
Seems so long ago
Since we were carefree

Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic-
That's me
That's me

Thoughts running round my head today
Times from the past popping up where they're from I don't know
Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I've realised what life's meant to be

Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic;
That's me
That's me

Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I've realised what life's meant to be

Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic;
That's me
That's me

It's all I'll ever be
It's all I'll ever be
Cause that's me
It's all I'll ever be
Cause that's me

In the wee small hours of the morning
while the whole wide world is fast alseep
you lie awake thinking of the girl
never even think of counting sheep

while the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
she'd be yours if only she would call
in the wee small hours of the morning
is the time i miss her most of all

(Instrumental)

in the wee small hours of the morning
while the whole wide world is fast asleep
you lie awake thinking of the girl
never even think of counting sheep

while the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
she'd be yours if only she would call
in the wee small hours of the morning
is the time i miss her most off all

Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that`s
pretty clever, don`t you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
watching all the ground beneath you drop
You`d kill yourself for recognition,
kill yourself to never, ever stop ...
You broke another mirror,
you`re turning into something you are not
Don`t leave me high..
don`t leave me dry ..
Don`t leave me high ..
don`t leave me dry...
instrumental break
Drying up in conversation,
you`ll be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They`re the ones who`ll hate you
when you think you`ve got the world all sussed out
They`re the ones who`ll spit on you,
you`ll be the one screaming out
Don`t leave me high..
don`t leave me dry ..
Don`t leave me high..
don`t leave me dry..
instrumental break
Oh, it`s the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing that you ever, ever had...
It`s the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing you have had has gone away
Don`t leave me high
don`t leave me dry
Don`t leave me high
don`t leave me dry
Don`t leave me high...
Don`t leave me high...
don`t leave me dry ..

Be wise, be fair, be sure, be there, behave, beware

Be wise, be smart, behave my heart
Don't upset your cart, when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be descreet
Don't go off your feet
She's too close for comfort

Too close, too close for comfort, no, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"

Be formal, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care
When there's such temptation

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Much too, too close for comfort

Be wise, be fair, be sure, be there

Put on your old thinking cap boy
'Cause if you don't look out you
Can find that you are much too
You're too close for comfort

You're heading for a messed hat boy
The first thing that you know she
Will have you up that old tree
She's too close for comfort
(too close, to-oo close, too close...)

Be formal, be fair, be absolutely sure, beware
On your guard, take care
When there's such temptation

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Much too, too close for comfort

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Much too, too close for comfort

One thing...One thing leads to another
Much too too close for comfort now

Be wise, be fair, be sure,
be there, behave, beware
She's too close, too close for comfort now

A time for summer skies
For hummingbirds and butterflies
For tender words that harmonize with love

A time for climbing hills
For leaning out of windowsills
Admiring daffodils above

A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of

As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of

As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

Why is it all these fakers
Seem to nake the morning papers?
They're selling records by the million, seems so easy in my opinion
Lokk at the Jazz Star, he really needs some guts
Playing from seven to midnight, surviving on peanuts
Selling records by the dozen
Probably sold his tenor to make 'em
With artwork designed by his brother
And liner notes by his mother

Told what to do, miming to a tape
While a team of experts make sure you're looking great
Taking a limo to your own private bar
My God! I want to be a popstar!

Going to get on the T.V and go on dates with only the pretty
Maybe next year I'll pretend to be gay
I'll sell more records in a flash that way
Makes no difference if i look like a nut
Every kid in the world is going to copy my haircut
I'll advertise some trainers, maybe even a car
Shrewd product placement will gurantee I'm a star
An ugly guy will write my songs
Surley there is nothing wrong
Retiring when I'm 22
With a house a car and nothing to do

Instantaneous satisfaction it will be
Got no need for artistic credibility
With this attitude I'm bound to go far
My God! I want to be a popstar!

Where's the middle ground?
It's hard to make a living with you own true sound
What road am I going to tread?
What the hell would i do instead?

There may be no tours in Roma, or drug-induced designer coma
No teenage girls when show is over, I prefer my women older
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about
Sometimes it would be nice to play a place and sell out
Driving to a gig in my brand new sports car
My God! I want to be a popstar!

Maybe its too easy, to move so quickly so far
Who wants to be a popstar?
