"Four" (2014)




Entanglement lyrics - Charlotte Church

For why
Are we
Tangled up?

Interrelated
Knit together by something
Faster than light

For why
Are we
Tangled up?

I can't explain why I
Love you little atom
Just like I know you love me
Precisely as much

Did we simply bump heads
Or burn together in a cosmic crucible
And spin off
In opposite directions?
Maybe love will react again

But against
All odds
We're tangled up

Maybe every atom
Maybe every proton, quark and prion
Will meet someday
Until that day
We're tangled up

Love Alone lyrics - Charlotte Church

Sometimes I need to feel
I'm not the sole occupant of this body
Invade me

And occupy my mind
It's folds are full and it's hills are high
And it runs deep

Don't want to be alone
Don't want to be alone
But you can't get there by love alone

No

Beyond the power of man
There are things I know that I know you think are pure crazy
Invade me

Drill into my skull
Hook me up and get every viewpoint in HD

Don't want to be alone
We'll never feel alone
When we know each other to the bone

But you can't get there by love alone

Beyond the power of man
There are things I know that I know you think are pure crazy
Invade me
Invade me

Little Movements lyrics - Charlotte Church

All the little movements
That make you a real human
A full fledged human

Never known, forever true
Born with and learned and borrowed
A full fledged human

Add it up
Add it up
Add it up
The unfathomable complexity

Add it up
Add it up
Add it up
The fractal of you sitting next to me

And I've known it for a long, long, long, long time
The way that the golden sections
Collapse and expand in your eye
They're such a window to the heart of what is
True

Kaleidoscopic complexity
Add it up
Add it up
Add it up
Kaleidoscopic complexity
Add it up
Add it up
Add it up

All the little movements
That make you a real human
All the little movements
That make you a real human
All the little movements
That make you a real human
All the little movements
That make you a real human

They're such a window to the heart of what is true
They're such a window to the heart of what is true
They're such a window to the heart of what is true

Death And Mathematics lyrics - Charlotte Church

Mistakes
Made by death and mathematics
Allow me to fall
Impossibly in love with you

As darkness falls
Seems to make the whole world
Disappear

These thoughts
These thoughts
Only seem to scatter away

Beneath
Beneath
Daylight but trust my love

They remain
Time chewed up by an impossible and absolute machine
Lets those blinding eyes amaze in my time
And my space

Darling you leave me amazed

If F is more than death
Then what could be the limit?
If C is you plus me
Then what could be the limit?
If F is more than death
Then what could be the limit?
If C is you plus me
Then what could be the limit?
If F is more than death
Then what could be the limit?
If C is you plus me
Then what could be the limit?

If time has no limit
Then how do we define ourselves?

By mistakes

Hood Shade lyrics - Charlotte Church

Hey, wait
I needed longer in your
Hood shade
The empty space where we were stood
I'd stay forever if I could

My jacket's hanging on the door
I picture everything inside my head

Forever more
The branch that holds the leaves
It seems each day the less I care
Just sailing on a breeze

And then the voice said
Can you hear me
When I'm outside?
Then the voice said
Can you hear me
When I'm outside?

Love lyrics - Charlotte Church

When I came out from the river
When I came out from the river
When I was still small
When I was still safe
And I didn't have to contemplate

Love

When I went back to the water
And I emerged with a daughter
My arms were full of life
Life reached her arms out to cradle us
I didn't have to
I didn't have to
I didn't have to complicate

Love

Sparrow lyrics - Charlotte Church

I awake
Most days
Below a robins nest
With my wings
So cold
And a heart that overflows
To redden snow.
I've been an envelope,
Are you the sparrow?

With a letter-red
Blood-fluttered
In plumes
For the bayonet
Has carved away,
And it carves away
At the arrowhead
Lodged within my breast.

Sparrow,
We all end up 
Buried in the snow
So pick leaves and cover me;

Pluck the arrow
From my breast and let me rest

So far below
The robin's nest.

Remains lyrics - Charlotte Church

And when the bough has broken
Red amber ash of fractal light
Breaks up to form new gods
Falling down, falling
In glazed blue droplets of sound
And pounding hearts
Pumping water.

(And when the bough has broken
And when the cradle's fallen
Take what remains
And build new gods
To pray we can exist in an ocean abyss
What else is there?
What else is there?)

Like A Fool lyrics - Charlotte Church

I got worked up like a fool,
Now I need to wash myself with thoughts
As pure as water.
I got worked up like a fool for you,
I don't need those flowers 
To make myself as pure as water.

Mountain water
Flash my veins
Flush me out

I think I'm losing touch;
I'm diaphonous, a figure of smoke and mirrors.
I think I'm losing touch with you.
Is my smile bent,
A rod seen through the clearest water?

Mountain water
Flood my lungs
Won't you pull me out

Pull me out
Pull me out
Pull me out
Of the rising water.

Magician's Assistant lyrics - Charlotte Church

You box me up
So you can cut me in half.
I'm a loop to you,
You connect me up
Or split me in two.

I'll be the dove
You can hide in your hand
I'll be kissing the keys to you
And go limp as a glove in your hands.
Such magic hands.

Oh, 
Hide me behind a mirror
There I'll stay
Until I hear
Those words
Such incantations
Those words
As if from another time and space
Drifting through the darkness

I'll step out
And we'll bring down the house.
Is there anything that we can't do
As long as within we there's you?
You and your loop.

Those words
Such incantations
Those words
As if from another time and space
Drifting through the darkness.

I'll step out
And we'll bring down the house
Is there anything that we can't do
As long as within we there's you?

House Upon The Sea lyrics - Charlotte Church

Here we are
A house upon the sea
A bad dream
The woods on the hill are aware
And there's a terrible voice that echoes around

The wind has it's sting
Puts the salt in your skin

And morning light clears
Oh won't you bring me to rest
Says I should fake a death
And failing that
I should enter the house
And face what I left
Upon the water

Here we are
House upon the sea
And I know it's but a bad dream
The morning light
The morning light 
Will clear
But it's all so real

The dark reflects the day
Like a shadow on the waves.

I Can Dream lyrics - Charlotte Church

I can dream
I can dream
I'd build a castle for a crystal cup
I'd flood the ravine just to
Raise you up

I can dream
I can dream
Freezing the snowfall for your favourite view
Whip up a firestorm just to
Warm you 
Through

Oh I will deliver when I sleep
I deliver you and wake
Oh with a shiver when I sleep
I will shake myself 
To face the day
Oh I will deliver when I sleep 
I make promises

I can dream
I can dream
Fill up the glasses
A toast to the sick-sweet
The best and the better
The best
The ever-ripening best

Oh I will deliver when I sleep
I deliver you and wake
Oh with a shiver when I sleep
I will shake myself
To face the day
Oh I will deliver when I sleep
I make promises
I make promises

Water Tower lyrics - Charlotte Church

I am a water tower
Heavy is my head
And when the land around you is dying
I will keep your fields fed
I will keep your belly full
I will keep your family whole
I am indestructible.

The things with tiny bones
Scurry round my legs
And they nag at me with their hopes;
Little dreams for little heads.
I wish I could clear them all,
Sweep them up combustible,
Burn them in a crucible.
From their sacrifice a light
To keep you company tonight
Keep you company tonight.

Snap them up like crocodile
Retreat to river with a smile;
Just to know
They won't 
Be bugging you anymore,
That's a fair reward.

Glitterbombed lyrics - Charlotte Church

It caught my eye
So I brushed my arm;
Just a speck of silver light
Trapped on the peak of my fingertip.
Just a speck of silver light,
Just a mote to know you by.

I’ve got glitter in my wounds
Since I was glitterbombed by you.

When I walk
Back from your house
I leave silver in my steps.
When I talk
And your words fall out
They’ve got silver on the edge,
Hang shining in the air.

I’ve got glitter in my wounds
Since I was glitterbombed by you
And I don’t mind.
What once was yours alone,
Now it’s mine.

I’ve got glitter in my wounds
Since I was glitterbombed by you
Now I sparkle when I move
‘Cause I’ve been glitterbombed by you
And I don’t mind.
What once was yours alone,
Now it’s mine.

Breach Of The Peace lyrics - Charlotte Church

Maybe it’s the easiest way
If we just call it a day;
No more phone calls
That lead to late night brawls.
We don’t even have to pretend
That we’ll try to stay friends.
We’ll just walk back clothes
We left in each others’ homes

And say it’s nice to have known you.

There’s no love left in this machine.
We both stopped operating months ago.
You know this cut is going to hurt like hell
But it’s what we need
Before we cause a breach of the peace.
Before we cause a breach of the peace.

I could colour your lips
With a kiss
But it hurts too much,
Boy you’re driving me straight off a cliff;
So let me fall.
I don’t want to know that I won’t be awake
When you get home.
If I’ve got you
Then my God I want you.

There’s no love left in this machine.
We both stopped operating months ago.
You know this cut is going to hurt like hell
But it’s what we need
Before we cause a breach of the peace.
Before we cause a breach of the peace.

You won’t let me go.
You won’t let me love.
Do you need me?
Do you even see me?

There’s no love left in this machine.
We both stopped operating months ago.
You know this cut is going to hurt like hell
But it’s what we need
There’s no love left in this machine.
We both stopped operating months ago.
You know this cut is going to hurt like hell
But it’s what we need
Before we cause a breach of the peace
Before we cause a breach of the peace.

(I hope that someday
You know I never meant any harm)

The Mistress lyrics - Charlotte Church

If you see me on the street
I don’t expect we’ll speak
But please acknowledge me
And don’t pretend we didn’t sleep
Entangled in the sheets
She washes every week
But don’t you worry
I won’t make a scene in front of her.
‘Cause I know you love me
Though not enough to leave
And I’m half praying
You would disappear to somewhere
I could never be.

No. I couldn’t let you go.
I’m forced to watch the show;
I bought the most expensive seats.
I’m here in the front row.

Nerve lyrics - Charlotte Church

Are you just a waste of my time?
Have I let it slip
Through your hands?
Are you just a waste of my time?

Is that all your have to say?
Well if you feel this way
Then throw me out
Because I’d rather that than waste any more of your time.

You don’t listen to anything
You don’t want to hear,
Well what am I to do?
Because I’m confused
And I love you.

Am I just a waste of your time?

Well if you feel like that then I’ll go now.
Because I’d rather that than waste any more of your time.

You don’t listen.
You don’t want to hear,
Well what am I to do?
Because I’m confused
And I love you.

Lasts, Or Eschaton lyrics - Charlotte Church

Last night was the end of radio.
The last light went out on the last home stereo;
The last transmission to circle the earth
Was a song from the year of my father’s birth.
The singer could only see
As far as the girl next to him on the bench seat
And she was all that he could ever need.

Last night I lay in and I listened
To the last song sung on the dying airwaves.
My ambition to make something worth a listen
Snuffed out in an instant.
I could have told you that I’m just an infant
And the world ages faster with every breath
But she was all that he could ever need.

Cigarette smoke and a screen kiss.
Cigarette smoke and a screen kiss.
Only we know that we ever existed,
It’s our secret
So let’s keep it.

Last night was the end of radio;
The DJ said to think of all of the songs you used to know
And keep them safely in your head
‘Til you can sing them with someone who knows them.
You know the singer could only see
As far as the girl next to him on the bench seat
So you are all that I could ever need.

Cigarette smoke and a screen kiss.
Cigarette smoke and a screen kiss.
Only we know that we ever existed,
It’s our secret
So let’s keep it.

Box lyrics - Charlotte Church

Put me in my box
Put me in my box
Kiss me
Or kill me
Put me in my box

I find myself lost
I find myself lost
Kiss me or kill me
Fell me or fill me

Velvet crush
Against my cheek,
Cardboard soles for feet
That have no fear of rain
Anymore.
There’s a core
That’s always poor;
Alms for the sick
And the sad and the sore.
The punchbowl’s full
Of pounds and pence,
The party’s winding down
And dawn’s arms are folded
Hold me like she did
God look what we did

Put me in my box
Put me in my box
Kiss me
Or kill me
Put me in my box.

The Rise lyrics - Charlotte Church

In the silence
In my morning
I welcome
The numbness
That carries
My weight

Towards self-conviction
I hope that she will wait
She’ll wait
She’ll wait
She’ll wait

And I rise
And I rise
And I forget
To fall
Back to silhouette

Even when I’m
Crushed, closed
Mouth sewn
Hush my breath in the air
All things
Burn bright
When the dark is the sharpest
The skin can be bare

I’ll burn
A constellation
I hope that you will wait
Just wait
Just wait
Please wait

And I rise
And I rise
And I forget
To fall
