"Two" (2013)




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.

"One" (2012)




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
