Precious Heart

You bring meaning to the way that I feel
You bring new meaning, when you say ‘netflix and chill’
And I know that rhyme was weak
But it’s no accident, your cheeks just flushed
With a smile so pure
You say you’re sure, but I say sure
Cos baby where you’re from
Has a higher regional income
It maybe that I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t
admit that in a song
Cos now I know that you exist
I’ll believe in spells and magic tricks
Oh, and fairytales with each inhale and kiss, from precious lips
And now you’re resting on my arm
Your skin enchants me and your charm
I’ll run my fingers through your hair and guard, your precious heart
My love
And I feel it more with every coffee that you bring
My smile gets even wider, every time I hear you sing
And I know that its not easy
And I know that it sounds cheesey
But I’ll hold your hand
And do my best to understand
That sometimes you need pombear crisps
To help you through the day
And when you’re feeling jealous
You should always get your way
When people ask us what’s the secret
I’ll know what to say
An hour long bath, with late night snacks
Some TV and some cheescake, baby
Now I know that you exist
I’ll believe in spells and magic tricks
Oh, and fairytales with each inhale and kiss, from precious lips
And now you’re resting on my arm
Your skin enchants me and your charm
I’ll run my fingers through your hair and guard, your precious heart
With love
So before the chorus comes back round
I’ll use a bridge to say
That to love and to be loved by you
Feels like I’m dreaming every day
Now I know that you exist
I’ll believe in spells and magic tricks
Oh, and fairytales with each inhale and kiss, from precious lips
And now you’re resting on my arm
Your skin enchants me and your charm
I’ll run my fingers through your hair and guard, your precious heart
With love
Now I know that you exist
I’ll believe in spells and magic tricks
Oh, and fairytales with each inhale and kiss, from precious lips
And now you’re resting on my arm
Your skin enchants me and your charm
I’ll run my fingers through your hair and guard, your precious heart
With love

On a river before it meets the sea
On its banks are banks and tourist traps, with shops + eateries
Where the theatres and council chambers lie
In a place where several people died
Though I never knew the person that you were
It seems to me your sacrifice was more than they deserved
In the face of danger you refused to hide
You were one, when several people died
And now people have to go about their day
And stronger than before
Like soldiers marching on through life
We will not lose this war, Sing…
Peace be with you, in every country
Lets sing peace be with you, then we can humbly
Come together as one, put down our guns, and win
Fight fire with kindness
And open your mind
If we can all unite and we can aim for a time
When we can combine, our resources and find
A place of equality for humankind
Instead of the blind always leading the blind
With someone always left behind, their visa’s get declined
Because their race or religion is how we define them
Do I have to remind you, that what is inside
Is the same biology whether you’re black or you’re white
Or any minority with which you identify
We are required today to put race aside
And stand with our brothers and our sisters with pride
Saying we’ll win this fight, for those people who died
People of every faith, lets hold our head up high and sing:
Peace be with you, in every country
Lets sing peace be with you, then we can humbly
Come together as one, put down our guns, and win
On a river before it meets the sea
On its banks are banks and tourist traps, with shops + eateries
Where the theatres and council chambers lie
On the bridge where several people survived

With Love To My Darling
04:18

On this pleasant afternoon
There are people in the streets
Commuters on the pavements
I hear the rhythm of their feet
There are lovers in the backstreets
And one begins to sing
A charming barcarolle, he starts
“With love to my darling…
I will love you every evening
Until the moon falls down
I will love you every morning
Til that moon comes back around
And until the day that Jupiter
Flies right into Mars
And fish begin to fly through space
And find their way to stars
We’ll always be together darling
My hands are yours to hold
And as we grow together love
Our hands will turn old”
Then stopped the boy and stopped the song
As she began to cry
Not tears of joy or tears of pain
But fear of saying goodbye
Goodbye...
In her mind the hands of Time
are clasped around her throat
Each wrinkle like a poison
But there is no antidote
The longer spent the greater love
But more to lose, as such
And Time gets ever nearer
And we can’t escape his clutch
Togetherness a great reward
For love to breed and bloom
But haunted by the ticking clock
Of Time’s impending doom
So stare (stop) into the glass you hang
On each and every wall
Reminding you that age old tale
Of how the mighty fall
I’ve heard that story twice before
Please, Grandpa don’t go on
Granny can you hear me now
I’m shouting down the phone
Now there’s rich-teas in the biscuit tin
The TV’s turned up loud
The lovers look to one another
Pupils holding clouds
Goodbye..
[Instrumental Break]
In the evening I went back there
I walked around the streets
Cracks in every paving stone
And moss under my feet
No lovers in the backstreets
No sound but for the bell ring
And echoes of the song he sang
“With love to my darling…”

You said that I can’t be all yours
You think I’ve felt like this before
I told you, I can’t change my past
It’s not your first, it’s your last
And I hold a memory
We’re running through the streets with
Your body glowing
And the wind under our feet and
I wish I could
Change the things I’ve done
And I wish I could
Let you be the one
And I hope that you
Can forgive me
We try to talk, you roll your eyes
You lose that twinkle in your smile
Under the carpet it gets pressed
Until the next time you feel stressed
And I hold a memory
You’re playing songs to me
And I’d give anything for you
To play them sweetly for me
I wish I could
Change the things I’ve done
And I wish I could
Let you be the one
And I hope that you
Can forgive me
I wish I could
Change the things I’ve done
And I wish I could
Let you be the one
And I hope that you
Can forgive me
Can forgive me [x3]

Girls

When I met this girl
She gave me butterflies
She changed the world
By looking in my eyes
She called me up to say
She wants to go on dates
With another guy
Then my next girlfriend
She had her tummy pierced
She was a 10/10
A little more experienced
But with another man
I caught her holding hands
And it was my best friend
You’d think I’d learn the lesson that the nice guys always lose
You think I’d find what I’m missing and put my hurt to use
While I’m here running circles around the same old lame excuse…
‘They’re just girls’
And then there was Marie
I loved her like a fool
She was all I could see
All I could pursue
But when we went to Spain
She left and ran away
With another dude
Then I settled down
I thought I had it right
Nearly five years now
The future in our sight
I gave her all I have
She tore my world in half
Cos she was fucking some other guy
You’d think I’d learn the lesson that the nice guys always lose
You think I’d find what I’m missing and put my hurt to use
While I’m here running circles around the same old lame excuse…
‘They’re just girls’
I finally found the one
Who gives me butterflies
I want to change her world
By looking in her eyes
I’m gonna hold her hand
And see our future plans
With me by her side
You’d think I’d learn the lesson that the nice guys always lose
You think I’d find what I’m missing and put my hurt to use
While I’m here running circles around the same old lame excuse…
‘They’re just girls’
