It's My Life lyrics

Dum the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl

The dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
Another sigh with no regret
more coins inside her hands.
One time to own respect
now mercenary she stands.
I'm no boy stealing pennies from the poor

Break it down canY you see she's.
Dum the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
the dum dum girl
. ..

Such a shame to believe in escape
'A life on every face'
And that's a change
Till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame

The dice decide my fate

Well baby how the weeks fade
Baby was the best part of your youth a sensation
Yeah, that's a change
I never thought I'd end up fooling you

D'you hear what they say
All these people living up in our street, well they say
Out of touch, she lives in faded dreams

Renée
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change

And maybe when the cheat plays
Maybe when the ace falls from his suit

(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
April song
Lilac glistening foal
Ten as one
On the breeze they flow
When it gets my heart out
Nature's son
Don't you know where life has gone
Burying progress in the clouds
How we learn to linger on
Head in sand
Expecting the dour
To redress with open arms
Ascension in incentive end
When it gets my heart out
Nature's son

(Mark Hollis / Simon Brenner / Paul Webb / Lee Harris)
Cover me with shades of disbelief
Can happiness be someone's else's dream
Numbers call to spell my name
Move about as values change
Catch me if you can but don't delay
Today Today
It's a dream aw
ay
Today Today
Governed by the title on the wall
Commit me to a life within a fool
Happiness can often bleed
Beggars lay among the sheep

(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
When do you know you know
You know you learn
Do you die in sin or born again
With will to wind and wander climb
Through needle neck to consent
When do you know you know
You know you learn
Arrive at spring once again
And still to rise beyond the tide
And mortal track
Fretful or fair
By straw by strap
Toughening tear
Dust to dust to dust to dust

Maybe when the heat's away

you're fine.

To put another drink away

is out of line. (out of line)
It's so easy with a thief to blame

for breaking every pledge I've made.

Does it matter

if I can't say Caroline knows?

Every little accident takes time.

Forget about mistakes I've made

they're left behind, (they're left behind)

It's so easy with a thief to blame

(Mark Hollis / Simon Brenner / Paul Webb / Lee Harris)
I've given everything with nothing in return
I'm filled with images that play on every word
No one to tell me there's a cloud before my eyes
Not only broken I don't know the reason why
It's so serious
This endless sea of tears the feeling that I'll drown
I'd try to catch them but they're sure to touch the ground

Say goodnight
Every hour brings the morning of my life
Out of time
Every step I take I'm further down the line

Here I stand left behind
My eyes open wide
If you need me you should try

Calling the night boy
Calling
Calling the night boy

Say goodnight
Every hour brings the morning of my life
Out of tune
Every breath I take I take it over you

I don't care what people say

(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
Change, I was flying
Seems my life is dying
How can I confess
I've given everything that I had and still you left
How can I forget
I'm getting images of you inside my head
Pictures of Bernadette
Bernadette
Pictures
of Bernadette
Change, I'm no closer
How can I reproach you
How can I pretend
I'm living like a King in a land that's heaven sent

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
