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

Say It's True lyrics - Charlotte Church

Must we be just actors hitting marks?
Must just spotlights know us in the dark?
Must we live our lives out in the pages?
Must we play at lovers and friends
Before they haul us off the stage?

Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you
Are free and afraid like me.
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you aren’t getting prompts
And haven’t read ahead.

We were not given a reading list
So it’s not shocking that we have missed
Some things that should have be clearer
But I swear they’re references
They won’t happen again

Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you
Are free and afraid like me.
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you aren’t getting prompts
And haven’t read ahead

Don’t read the end
Don’t even try to guess

Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you
Are free and afraid like me.
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you aren’t getting prompts

How Not To Be Surprised When You're A Ghost lyrics - Charlotte Church

Nothing will be as it seems
Those rivers houses and trees
Are not the same once that your new
But they still tug at your heart
The memory of your heart
You musn't let it get you down
You musn't let it get you down
You musn't let it get you down

This is how not to be surprised when you're a ghost

Your love from years before,
Who got here before you
Will love you like she did back then
Your love who knelt by your side
Will soon be here with you
It's up to you to sort it out,
we hope that you can sort it out,
you musn't let it get you down

This is how not to be surprised when you're a ghost
This is how not to be surprised when you're a ghost

Just think what you can get done
There's no timing
You can put to bed, everyone
Each thing that you left untied
If your of a mind to do it
If your of a mind to do it right
If you love 'em you should do it
If you love 'em you should do it right
See the way she hides behind her hair
If you love her you should tell it right
If you ever said life isn't fair
This could be your chance to get it right

This is how not to be surprised when you're a ghost
This is how not to be surprised when you're a ghost

Beautiful Wreck lyrics - Charlotte Church

With all respect
I have to tell you you’re incorrect
What you won’t buy you wouldn’t get
Anyway
So set your sails
In doldrum waters
You’ll never fail
To sell your brine to
Everyone
Everyone

I’ll run aground on a shore
And I’ll stay there forever
Like a beautiful wreck

On the waves
You’ll see my bottled messages
Does the writing still exist
Or did
It fade away?
Well grab your guns
And anesthetics
And dance along
To the sounds of the ever changing
Superman
And close your heart

Stand by yourself on the shore
And you’ll hear I’m a siren
I’m a beautiful wreck
A beautiful wreck
A beautiful wreck

Stand with me
Amid immensements
Confide in the sea
Make no defense
There’s a trembling
The waters part
As we tumble in
The wake of the surfacing leviathan

Down in the depths of the ocean
Forever resounding
I’m a beautiful wreck

Back To Scratch lyrics - Charlotte Church

Down on my luck once more, out on a limb 
Over things I thought I knew for sure and you 
Yeah you were fundamentally too flawed to give 
what you received and you believed 
that I was yours to keep 

And I tell myself "hold on, slow down, 
girl is this me going back to scratch, again 
And oh you'll know it in the dead of night 
you're back to scratch, right back to scratch" 

Here in the heading days, love on a whim 
It's only a thing I'm sure, his daunting gaze will fade 
Then I am left on my lonesome & I'm not as young as I'd like 
My heart is slipping thru my fingers 
Though the hope of love still lingers 
I just pray that he will find me now, today 

And wait a minute, "hold on, slow down, 
girl is this me going back to scratch, again 
and oh you'll know it in the dead of night 
you're back to scratch" 

Now he's gone, I guess I'll carry on 
There's nothing else that I can do 
Suns will rise and set and rains will fall 
But when they fall on me, they won't on you 

I can't hold on to this love 
I'm going back to scratch, again 
and here I'm laying in this lonely night 
I'm back to scratch, again, again, again, again 

And I can't hold on to this love, 
I'm going back to scratch, again 
and here I'm laying in this lonely night 
I'm back to scratch, right back to scratch
