A2: Michael Kiwanuka: Home Again lyrics

ADVANCED: Madeleine Peyroux - Between The Bars


Drink up, baby
Stay up all night
Things you could do
You won't but you might

The potential you'll be
You'll never see
Promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about
Pressure of days
Do what I say
And I'll make you okay
And drive them away
Images stuck in your head

People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I’ll keep them still

Drink up, baby
Look at the stars
And I'll kiss you again
Between the bars
Where i'm seeing you there
With your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught

Drink up one more time
And I'll make you mine
And keep you apart
Deep in my heart
Separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
Keep the things you forgot

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

SONG: "Bridge over Troubled Water" Simon & Garfunkel

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Citizens! True Romance


Oh my love
what are we doing here
This little heart
Racing through the gates
Lighting up my cigarettes and counting out the change in our pockets
Tell me love
Will we ever know ourselves?

True romance
True romance

Oh my love
Keep your eyes on the road
I am asleep to the lights up ahead
What kind of minds are these that the gods and the television gave us
Hold me love until we disappear again

Here we are
True romance
Here we are
True romance
You hold in your hands true romance
I found a place to make a stand true romance

Never knowin where you came from
Or where to go, true romance
Never knowin where you came from
Or where to go, true romance
Or whatever I wasn’t thinking
WhenI let you go
Now tell me what was I thinking
When I let you go

True romance
True romance
Here we are, true romance
True romance
Here we are
