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" (2010)




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
