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

We Were Young lyrics - Charlotte Church

We were young

We had plans

That we wrote

On the back of our hands

So the ink could wash off

If we found that the plans had to stop

In the spring, 

In the night

I would hide

And give you

Such a fright

When I jumped

From behind

Our couch

We spent months

Trying to buy

And you held me so tightly

That I couldn't breathe

And you whispered assurance

That you'd never leave

And we talked through the night

Of what we could achieve

We were young

There were times

When I felt

That there just

Couldn't be anyone else

In the world

But ourselves

And then times

When we put each other

Through hell

And I lay all the blame I could find onto you

'Cause nearly nothing of what you had said was the truth

And our only excuse was the one we had used

We were young

I don't wanna leave, but I'll go now

No matter how hard I'll rub you, you won't come out

My blues hit your browns by the door

And I could hit the floor

But the plan on my palm says I'm leaving

We had burnt

All the songs

That we thought

Could make us millions

And the time

That was left

Meant we only had

Seconds to live

And I cried to my family and cried to my friends

And I promised my people that this was the end

But the thing that hurts most is I won't kiss you again

We were young

Ruby lyrics - Charlotte Church

Ruby, what am I gonna do with you

Baby you choose what you wanna do

Don't walk my Ruby in the dust

Lost and lonely baby then you must

Understand that I'm here

And you come to me

My Ruby

Ruby, what a life you choose

Baby you loose what you wanna do

Don't walk my Ruby in the dust

Lost and lonely baby then you must

Understand that I'm here

And you can come to me

Understand that I'm near

And you belong to me

My Ruby, my Ruby

Unravelling lyrics - Charlotte Church

Don’t dismay, it’s ok.

If you’re spinning shaken stumbling in a daze.

I’m the same

Oh no, oh no, don’t wanna let it show

Oh no, oh no, but when I turn to go

Humility it’s everlasting, please stay is all you’re asking.

Heart's resolve is crumbling, here I stand unravelling.

Don’t fade into the midnight,

Unafraid of how the thread might

Hold our hearts entwined.

Yet, I'm unravelling

Lost myself in the wealth

Of your subtle smile the way your shadow felt

So leave me here

Oh no, oh no, I’m falling like a cannonball

Oh no, oh no, I lose you then I lose it all

Humility it’s everlasting, please stay is all you’re asking.

Heart's resolve is crumbling, here I stand unravelling.

Don’t fade into the midnight,

Unafraid of how the thread might

Hold our hearts entwined.

Yet, I'm unravelling

Ooohh… I'm unravelling

Oh no, oh no, I’m falling like a cannonball

Oh no, oh no, I lose you then I lose it all

You say it’s everlasting, please stay is all you’re asking.

Heart's resolve is crumbling, here I stand unravelling.

Don’t fade into the midnight,

Unafraid of how the thread might

Heart's resolve is crumbling, here I stand unravelling.

You say it’s everlasting, please stay is all you’re asking.

Heart's resolve is crumbling, here I stand unravelling.

Don’t fade into the midnight,

Unafraid of how the thread might

Hold our hearts entwined.

Yet, I'm unravelling

Logical World lyrics - Charlotte Church

You got the wrong shoes, honey, the wrong size

You wear the left foot on the right side

You got a sad laugh, honey, when you cry

You know the answer still you ask why, you ask why

Walking in the sunshine in the middle of the night

Painting pictures with the rain

Been dreaming a real life and living at a dream

I'm a mixed up girl, in a logical world

You got blue hair honey and... blond eyes

Shocks are boring but the day today is a surprise

You go a real no, honey, when you get high

You give a warm welcome with a goodbye

When you say goodbye

Walking in the sunshine in the middle of the night

Painting pictures with the rain

Been dreaming a real life and living at a dream

It's me with the wrong size, me with the blond eyes

I laugh when I cry I'm the one who's asking why

I get high when I get low and I just want to show

I'm a logical girl in a mixed up world, mixed up world

Walking in the sunshine in the middle of the night

Painting pictures with the rain

Been dreaming a real life and living at a dream

I'm a mixed up girl in a logical world

I've been walking in sunshine in the middle of the night

I've been watching my pictures fade away in the rain

I've been dreaming a real life and living at a dream

I'm a mixed up girl in a logical world

I'm a mixed up girl, I'm a mixed up girl...

Suitcase lyrics - Charlotte Church

Here I go I’m handing my heart out like communion

I pour it out in rhythm and rhyme

Sticks and stone throws won’t change my lines

Tell me how to sing what everyone is feeling

When oh so many others have tried

Tears on the paper, love in my mind

Heavy the heartaches, we carry the suitcase

And you can tell it to the weather it won’t get any better

Until you learn to live with your scars

It's all in the suitcase, that holds who you are

Glory days and bad times are all here in my baggage

They’re folded up and kept here like clothes

Throw out the hurtful to lighten the load

Heavy the heartaches, we carry the suitcase

And you can tell it to the weather it won’t get any better

Until you learn to live with your scars

Heavy the suitcase

Hidden in the pocket space

The hope you lost in younger days

And the few you thought you couldn’t face

They’re travelling today, you’re throwing them away

Heavy the heartaches, we carry the suitcase

And you can tell it to the weather it won’t get any better

Until you learn to live with your scars

It's all in your suitcase, that holds who you are

That holds who you are

The Actors lyrics - Charlotte Church

A silhouette of cigarette smoke crescents the wall

In purple pearl for the curtain call

I'm resigned to the fact that I'm alone in life

Lonely life, lonely life

I'm in the wings

The chorus sings on my own pretending

But here it is ceaseless and unbending

Life's to rest on my happiness

My constant trying

Lonely life, lonely life

Where did the actors go?

Backed out renounced the show

And left me stumbling on the stage

With just a rhyme left on the page

With just one act left of the play

And one more line for me to say

Lonely life, lonely life

Could it be that I'm the one caring and not cared for

Or is it there something I've not dared to comprehend

I'm content to just pretend they want me

Lonely life, lonely life

Where did the actors go?

Backed out renounced the show

And left me stumbling on the stage

With just a rhyme left on the page

With just one act left of the play

And one more line for me to say, to say, to say, to say

Where did the actors go?

Backed out renounced the show

And left me stumbling on the stage

With just a rhyme left on the page

With just one act left of the play

And one more line for me to say, to say, to say, to say
