The Concretes Album

I must say it was love from the start
when you gave me a tune to sing
But I guess you'll never know
'cause some things are meant
to stay unrevealed

I heard a song on the radio
and it was sung for your ears only

When you're lost though you know
all directions by heart
take a look what's behind the scene
There are hills and trees to be climbed
when you know someone awaits your return

Our sunbeams will have a rough year this year
trying to shine you through 'n' through
Yes I've got all the mirrors it'll take
Don't you worry
you won't get burned

Spend some time in the shade with me

I'm terribly sorry I didn't let you through
I didn't know you were you

I've built a house by the sea for you and me
Walls of glass so don't bring any stones
One of these days we'll open the blinds
Not to worry, you won't get burned

Just spend some time in the shade with me
Close your eyes don't let go of it

I'm terribly sorry I didn't let you through
Don't worry you'll be as new

There's a change in the weather
Heard it's coming soon
There's a change in the weather
Hope this gets to you
Here's to everyone, sing along

There's a change in the weather
Don't know where to go
There's a change in the weather
Don't go to work
Here's what we say, sing along
Here's what we do, sing along

When it's closing in we're gonna hold you
and whisper sweet melodies in your ear
So you never feel lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely

There's a change in the weather
we will come for you
There's a change in the weather
We will comfort you

I don't know about falling in love
'cause it comes to an end I've been told
But when it comes to falling in love
it runs me over

Now I'm out here with my heart in my hand
to hand it over
Now I'm out here with my heart
in my hand

Have you seen my chosen one recently
If you do tell him I'm in for love

As I walk in you get up to leave,
You head straight for the door
Is it because what happened between us
I liked it better before

My comment really wasn't that funny
You were never polite
I recall your laughter as sweeter
I guess those things can change overnight

Forgive me, I take it back
Forgive me, I'd take it all back if I could

I call you, hang up
I call you, hang up
I call you, hang up
I call you, hang up

So many things came out bad
I didn't mean them at all
I regret not telling you sooner
On the other hand you never called

Believe me I'd take it back
Believe me I'd take it all back
if I could

Moments you wish never happened
Other you keep for the rain
Forget that they'll be forgotten
Running through you like a train

Believe me I'd go back
Believe I'd go all the way back
if you would

Call me I'll hang up
Call me a hang up
Call me, hang up

You don't seem to grasp your own importance
You misbehave in almost every chapter
You take your rescue in some written fiction
While your own book could use a better plotline

The font should be bold

Try and turn the next page with some tenderness
And maybe things will take a nicer turn
You can't control it like some written fiction
But try at least to pick a selling title

Yesterday I lost me a memory
I kept too long for no good reason
They seem to hang around to greet the future
And what goes around will come around most likely

Can I go with you tomorrow
I just wanna go, tomorrow

I remember an insect some kind of bee
That came around for a visit on my balcony
It made me so glad I cried
You got a pretty costume indeed

Can I follow you, tomorrow
I just wanna go, go tomorrow
Tomorrow

We landed on an old forgotten shore
That been kept away from sight
since ancient times
Then I took command of some river boat
And steered it into the great wilderness

So if you wanna go where I go
If you wanna go where I go, tomorrow

I was held by a woman known as the holder
And I'll stay in her arms for the rest of my days

She told me she had something,
Something sacred to give me
And she asked for me to open my mind, so I did

It was very hard
And the struggle nearly killed me
Then she told me to inhale
Whatever came my way

Then a colour turned up
Which never been seen by human eyes
And she said it was mine to keep, to keep, to keep

Now it's deep inside of me
And it holds four different women
Who am me, if you see what I mean

That was why she gave me that gift
So that I could make room
For the me, the me, the me and the me

Dressed in lilac
with a scarf wrapped 'round your head
All that beauty fading in the dark
Hope and youth they with come the grey

Dressed in Jackie
Dress she wore some fall before
Revolutionary for the day
Technicolour made it stay the same

Baby, baby, baby you have to leave this town

Flag in one hand
Polished shoes for perfect march
Eight hours of practice is too long
With no one there to see your victory dance

Like a kitten
You sure adored the sun
Ocean view, the blue called out for you
Swim suit on, what kept you in the grey

Love the city
Yet you stay in that old house
Mother's voice the only noise you know
Doing what she loves the most, not you

The colour of your eyes has faded,
They're not as brown as I remember them as a child
Oh why wasn't I a real child?
Why did I have to run before my morning came around?

You were looking for a way of life
Some way to put your mind aside

This chance you had was your last, you said
I admired your strength to give it one more try
Though the cards were stacked against you, you decided to fight it
And you, you looked so young again

Then the day came around
Or it was actually an evening, when you failed
I remember the moment wasn't anywhere close to right
But will there ever be for those things?

I am still glad you decided to give it a final try
Now all I wish for your well deserved rest
I know we don't choose our parents
But we can't ignore the feelings that we grow for them

I had me an aim and I had me a token
To deliver this letter sealed
Now I'm halfway through this trek,
halfway through this trek
Secrets with me won't stay sealed for long
If you hand me the truth I'll spead the news
I'll spread the news

Suddenly a light came on
And it shone me a hole right through my bone
And there I could see it all and there I saw the
shore

High time for me to make up my mind
after what I've seen
Then I heard a bell strike five
Heard a bell strike five

Ooh la la...

He has a voice you can't stop listening to
'cause it touches like a lover
Then the strings come in and ask you not to mind
as he says farewell to Caroline

I loved a crazy man from Mexico
Because he managed to get all
the questions wrong
But the daughter of a sumer month in black
she got her heart broken really, really bad

Then there's the couple with the marching band
The wife she really wanted out
And the horns were shining brighter than the lights
as she was pleading, then leaving for the night

This is for the songs
The songs we had to love
