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

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
