KT Tunstall

Now I know
I took for granted that things
Would always go the way
I wanted oh
I was going to be a treetop
A sea a boat a rock of ages
I don't always get it right
I'd see it in a different
kind of light
Pay my lip service
Keep it eloquent
Optimistic but
Never quite elegant
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo
after all these years

I'd always thought it's automatic
to grow into a soul less static
But here I am upon the same spot
Attempting to lift off into space
I don't always get it right
But a thousand different ways
And I just might
Pay my lip service
Keep it eloquent
Optimistic but
Never quite elegant
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo
after all these years
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo
after all these years

Pay my lip service
Keep it eloquent
Optimistic but
Never quite elegant
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo
after all these years

Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo
after all these years
After all these years

Isn't much more, I can do for you
Isn't much more that I can try,
twisting herself into shapes,
to stop you crying,

What'll I do, if I lose you?
What'll I do if I lose?
Difficulties, coming my way,
coming my way

Making my way into places,
only been seen only been seen
on your darkest days,
breakin' my heart to take a walk into your jungle

What can I do, in this world for you
if difficulty is my friend?
Keeping me company when I know,
I don't need it.
I don't need it.

Oh, oh, oh

You change everyday,
you change everyday, yeah x 2

You change everyday,
you change everyday,
I cannor tell you choose,
when I don't want to.

Possible days, in my future,
possible ways, into my past,
sowin'in up, nice and tightly
so I don't wonder,

What if I did, so much more
for you & what if I said, so much more?
Difficulty would be a stranger, a stranger to me

You change everyday,
you change everyday, yeah x 2

You change everyday,
you change everyday,
I cannor tell you choose,

Oooh, yeahh, yuooh,
yeahh, oooh, yeahh,
I'm govern by difficulty

Oooh, yeahh, yuooh,
yeahh, oooh, yeahh,
I'm govern by difficulty

Oooh, yeahh, yuooh,
yeahh, oooh, oooh,
oooh, oh, oh, oh


You change everyday,
you change everyday, yeah x 2

You change everyday,
you change everyday,
I cannor tell you choose,
when I don't want to.

When I don't want to x 6

You grew wings, on your heart
But you let it out your ribcage,
And it flew into the dark

Like a ghost, just like a ghost
And it flutters by my window
When I need my sleep the most..

So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it everyday, starting to notice you're fading away

Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..

You want eyes, in your hands,
And power in your pocket,
To stop to watch you dance

With your hips swinging they shake, hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again..
Got your hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again, again and again, and again

So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about you everyday, starting to notice..

Two steps forward and one step back,
Make up in love what you think I lack,
You've got a vampire on your neck,
Everybody knows what happens next

You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..

Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..

Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..

Hold your fire
I'm coming out and I'll tell you the truth
I was trying to raise my roof
Did you see it
That I needed to prove
That my stinger always stays
You said she's beautiful when she plays
Did I hit you in the proper place

Suddenly

[Chorus 1]
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Before I head for home

It's my turn
With the spotlight burning a hole
But my bird-heart's turning cold
As the temperature rises all around
To the sound of a ticking bomb
And then it’s not just showing off here
You know there's something going on here
Going on here

Suddenly

[Chorus 2]
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Well I could live in this town
Before I head for home

And considered it odd
That I ever stayed

You know that feeling you get
when you don't want to leave

That feeling when you don’t want to leave

[Chorus]
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Well I could live in this town
Before I head for home

And considered it odd
That I ever stayed

You grew wings, on your heart
But you let it out your ribcage,
And it flew into the dark

Like a ghost, just like a ghost
And it flutters by my window
When I need my sleep the most..

So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it everyday, starting to notice you're fading away

Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..

You want eyes, in your hands,
And power in your pocket,
To stop to watch you dance

With your hips swinging they shake, hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again..
Got your hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again, again and again, and again

So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about you everyday, starting to notice..

Two steps forward and one step back,
Make up in love what you think I lack,
You've got a vampire on your neck,
Everybody knows what happens next

You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..

Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..

Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water
All the muscles
tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside
of the world to me
On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world
Can you help me
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world
The otherside of the world
You're the otherside
of the world to me

I need a mirror
In the eyes of a man
I need no protaction
From my bullet proof plan
And i've got a ticket
For all that I like
It may think that
i'm gone good
But I know that
i'm coming back

Set it my table
Sip for my boat
Feel like an
And I will do 'till
I get old
You might not see me
Trust that I'll stay
But is no sense
in traveling
If we've alredy
been that way

Night isn't matter

Waste to see how
long you left
But you know better
You stand your ground
And might just
stand a little
She know
you syicking around

The beauty of uncertainty
The beauty of uncertainty
The beauty of uncertainty
The beauty of uncertainty
The beauty of uncertainty
The beauty of uncertainty
The beauty of uncertainty
beauty of uncertainty
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Say you to me
You`re a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searchin` the land
For a hero of a man
You say I need
More than my fair share of attention
But I think you know
That just isn`t so

Underneath, i felt the fire of a burning question
Tearin` me apart
Right from the very start
And now I see
That it don`t take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong
So long
You`ll see

Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you`re ready or not

Simplicity
A heart of gold, an old head, and young shoulders
Quiet and lovely
Becomin` part of me
And now I see
From a handful of names and a thousand faces
One light, burnin`, furiously

I was tired of January
I was tired of June
I felt a change a-comin`
Oh, I was tired of January
Tired of June
I felt a change a-comin`
Oh, I felt a change a-comin
I felt a change a-comin
felt a change a-comin, soon

Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you`re ready or not

Oh yeah, well the world will turn if you`re ready or not
Oh, yes the world will turn if you`re ready or not

Hopeless
Everybody says
it's just another decay
Of the soul But I know
I'm hopeless
Follower of anything
to take me away
From this hole in the ground
I'm hopeless
Clinging to this feeling
like a fish on a line
It's sublime to
find it lately
Hopeless
No more saying that
there's no more time

I was trying far to hard
To be what
I felt I should be
I was playing wild cards
Seeing things
that weren't in front of me
Like a little tiger
play fighting
I was hurting myself
Again and again
Because I'm hopeless
Everybody says
it's just another decay
Of the soul But I know
I'm hopeless
Follower of anything
to take me away
From this hole
in the ground
I'm hopeless
Clinging to this feeling
like a fish on a line
It's sublime
to find it lately
Hooopeless
No more saying that
there's no more time

That there's no more time

Well
I'm just discovering
I'm living in a
different body
Got a little insight into
Everything that's
happening to me
Like a little spider
I'm climbing
the insurmountable
But I never hold
myself accountable
No oooh
Because I'm hopeless
Everybody says I'm hopeless
But I got a bit of hopeless
In this
Oh and you could never
bring me down
Even though
I got solid ground
Oh because I love it so
And I think you should know
That I'm hopeless
Everybody says
it's just another decay
Of the soul But I know
I'm hopeless
Follower of anything
to take me away
From this hole in the ground
I'm hopeless
Clinging to this feeling
like a fish on a line
It's sublime to
find it lately
Hopeless hopeless hopeless
No more saying that
there's no more time

Show me what it
is you've done
Pull the covers off
in front of everyone
Sure you want
to the saw seams
What you created for
yourself in spite of me
You can try to tie me down
You can try to string me up
But you'd have no luck now
Please don't ever
let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me
frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to
be my friend again
Cuz I don't want you
I don't want you now
I don't want you now

So now you've learned
to make your bed
Far be it for me
to be the one
to pay your head
The truth is that
i could've pulled you up
But you'd already
advertised that i'd
slashed the tires of
your one man show
You can try to tie me down
You can try to stitch me up
But you'd have no luck now
Please don't ever
let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me
frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be
my friend again
Cuz I don't want you
I don't want you now
I don't want you now
NO I don't want you now
NO I don't want you now
NO I don't want you now
NO I don't want you now
The truth is that
i could've pulled you up
You can try to tie me down
You can try to stitch me up
But you'd have no luck now
Please don't ever
let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever
make me frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be
my friend again
Cuz I don't want you
I don't want you now
I don't want you now
I don't want you now

Walking around in a
daze after days
now its been
Talking it up is amazing
and amazed that I'm in
Looking at the stars
for the answers
but all that you found
Was silence and dirty ground
If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
Listen just
a little bit harder
for I always tell the truth
it isn't just
a piston in an engine
that keeps you moving
Looking like you're looking
for answers and now
You're surrounded by silence
If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
You're surrounded by silence
silence
you're surrounded by silence
silence
silence
you're surrounded by silence
silence
silence
You're surrounded by silence
silence
If only you could
see me now
If only you could
hear me out
If only it was only me now
yeah If only you
could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
If only it was only me now
If only it was only me now

I slip softly through
Your slim fingers
Leaving traces
I embrace this
Feeling that lingers
Oh that lingers
that lingers

So take me far away
And hold me
close to your heart
And do me just
this little favour
For I do yes I do love you

This silence sits easy
So peacefully
Like the skin
Oh like the skin
Upon your body
Oh on your body your body

So take me far away now
And hold me close to
your heart
And do me just
this little favour
For I do yes I do love you
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
This little universe
between our backs
So beautiful and colourful
I lean on that
