Gabriella Cilmi : Lessons to Be Learned

Lyrics



1.Save the Lies

I'd like to find something
I got my best dress on
and I'll play from dusk 'til dawn
and when you sleep tonight
I'd hold my pillow tight
I'd turn all the lights off

Oh, I say, don't say
That you're up to nothing
You're sure up to something!
Today, boy
I'll start a-laughing
'Cos you will pay!

Save the lies
I'm a-saying
I might get a bit rough
If he ain't good to me
Oh, good to me
So I say with a smile
'Cos I know
That he'll be good
You better
Be good to me
Ya better be good

You better treat me nice
Or I'll come back to bite
Boy, just you wait & see
I'll throw you in skin deep into reality
No, this ain't fantasy

Oh, I say, don't say
That you're up to nothing
You're sure up to something!
Today, boy
I'll start a-laughing
'Cos you will pay!

Save the lies
I'm a-saying
I might get a bit rough
If he ain't good to me
Oh, good to me
So I say with a smile
'Cos I know
That he'll be good
You better
Be good to me
Ya better be good

Save the lies
I'm a-saying
I might get a bit rough
If he ain't good to me
Oh, good to me
So I say with a smile
'Cos I know
That he'll be good
You better
Be good to me
Ya better be good

Gonna set your bright soul alight
I'm gonna play my right card tonight
I'm gonna fly my bike
Ride my kite
I'm gonna eat you up
Bite you by the by

Save the lies
I'm a-saying
I might get a bit rough
If he ain't good to me
Oh, good to me
So I say with a smile
'Cos I know
That he'll be good
You better
Be good to me
Ya better be good

Oh, good to me.



2.Sweet About Me

Oh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Oh easily, the climax of the perfect lie.
Oh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Oh easily, smile worth a hundred lies.

If there’s lessons to be learned,
I’d rather get my jamming words in first so,
Tell you something that I’ve found,
That the worlds a better place when it’s upside down boy.

If there’s lessons to be learned,
I’d rather get my jamming words in first so,
When your playing with desire,
Don’t come running to my place when it burns like fire boy.

Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeah

Blue, blue, blue, waves they crash
As time goes by, so hard to catch.
Too, too smooth, ain’t all that,
Why don’t you ride on my side of the tracks.

If there’s lessons to be learned,
I’d rather get my jamming words in first so,
When your playing with desire,
Don’t come running to my place when it burns like fire boy.

Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeah




3.Sanctuary

That Old Pair Of Jeans
You Always See My Wearing When It's Grey
You Know What I Mean
Oh I'm Riding A Lazy Mood

Cause You've Been Waiting Got Me Ready To Go
And I've Been Straying Off The Way That I Know, Keep Me
Wise Enough, Nothing To Owe
Guess I Need Ya And I Want It To Show

Lying Here In My Sanctuary
Days Go Past it's Autumn Already
And I Wish It Would Thunder
Oh High Up Here In My Sanctuary
Day's Go Past It's Autumn Already
And I Sit Here And Wonder

And I'll Kick Off My Shoes
Think About The Things that I'd Like To Do
Everything Going Smooth
There Ain't Nothing I'd Rather Do

Cause You've Been Waiting Got Me Ready To Go
And I've Been Straying Off The Way That I Know, Keep Me
Wise Enough, Nothing To Owe
Guess I Need Ya And I Want It To Show

Lying Here In My Sanctuary
Days Go Past it's Autumn Already
And I Wish It Would Thunder
Oh High Up Here In My Sanctuary
Day's Go Past It's Autumn Already
And I Sit Here And Wonder

Lying Here In My Sanctuary
Days Go Past it's Autumn Already
And I Wish It Would Thunder
Oh High Up Here In My Sanctuary
Day's Go Past It's Autumn Already
And I Sit Here And Wonder

What I Say And What I Mean, Are Two Very Different Things
Can't Tell Life From Lies Got A Bad Sense Of Spins
What I Say And What I Mean Are Two Very Different Things,
Babe, It's Time To Figure It Out

Holding My Hands In Your Hands And I Wont Let Go
Keeping Your Words And Your Face Is A Place Like Home
I've Been Blind Don't You Know



4.Einstein

I'd like to think like Einstein
Know the equal of pi
And never need to as why
Why, why boys don't cry
Where we go when we die
And what's the meaning of life

Whatever the weather man's saying we follow
Sunshine or rain
But he'll never tell me how I feel tomorrow
Pleasure or pain

The lessons I'm learning,
just leave me burning for more and more,
I lie awake hoping, Jesus 'aint joking
I'm sure, that he's sure

Whatever the weather man's saying we follow
Sunshine or rain
But he'll never tell me how I feel tomorrow
Pleasure or pain

So tell me why the world keeps on turning, turning
And why so many people are hurting, hurting
How we traded honestly for lying, lying
Cause were only gonna make it if were trying, trying

You put a man on the moon
But you can't save that baby
And that pains me
You'll make a red rose turn blue
But you can't stop us dying keep on trying

Whatever the weather man's saying we follow
Sunshine or rain
But he'll never tell me how I feel tomorrow
Pleasure or pain



5.Got No Place to Go

Fuel can take a minute to light
Wonderland 'aint built in a night
Two can burn a bridge in a day
Now one of us is walking away
Don't believe the stories you're told
Not everything that glitters is gold
Love is just a word that we say
Now one of us is walking away
away
away

And I, I got no place to go
Yeah I hate it when I am feeling cold
Only get it when I'm feeling low
Way back then my soul brother was my home
There's a caterpillar in my soul
S'what you get when you don't get no

Honeys only sweet as the bee
Who only ever takes what he needs
And deserts need the sun and the rain
'Coz pleasure only comes after pain
Fuel can take a minute to light
Wonderland aint built in a night
Two can burn a bridge in a day
When one of us is walking away
away
away

And I, I got no place to go
Yeah I hate it when I am feeling cold
Only get it when I'm feeling low
Way back then my soul brother was my home
There's a caterpillar in my soul
S'what you get when you don't get no

And I, I got no place to go
Yeah I hate it when I am feeling cold
Only get it when I'm feeling low
Way back then my soul brother was my home
There's a caterpillar in my soul
S'what you get when you don't get no

Ooh stop, I'm breakin'
breakin' up
Ohh too hot, baby had enough

And I, I got no place to go
Yeah I hate it when I am feeling cold
Only get it when I'm feeling low
Way back then my soul brother was my home
There's a caterpillar in my soul
It's what you get when you don't get no



6.Don't Want to Go to Bed Now

I know you'll think it's right
If you see inside my mind
It's summer everyday
And it's music through the night
I know you'd think it's fine
If you free your state of mine
Some might say it's strange
But the bullet's worth a bite

Oh, waiting, waiting, baby

And I, I don't wanna go to bed now
I wanna be indiscreet
I don't wanna go to bed now, bed now, not now, no
And I, I don't wanna have to beg now
Sellin' my soul too cheap
I don't wanna go to bed now, bed now, not now, no

I feel it in my feet
And I feel it in my bones
My heels dug in so deep
Need a truck to drag me home
I know you feel it too
Through the faces in the crowd
It's only me and you
And some good stuff going down

Oh, waiting, waiting, baby

You look good, look good, you're good looking, yeah
You look good, good, good, you're good looking, yeah

And I, I don't wanna go to bed now
I wanna be indiscreet
I don't wanna go to bed now, bed now, not now, no
And I, I don't wanna have to beg now
Sellin' my soul too cheap
I don't wanna go to bed now, bed now, not now, no

You look good, look good, you're good looking, yeah
You look good, good, good, you're good looking, yeah



7.Messy

So I Thought I'd Get A Little Messy
One Day Before It Gets Too Heavy
So I Thought I'd Get A Little Messy
One Day Before It Gets Too Heavy

See, Ya Make My Folks Grumpy
The Sweetest Thing, Ya Make My Socks Go Ding
Me, I Like The Road Bumpy

Oh I Do Do, Love It Baby, My Hearts Loud
Yeah, I'm Too, Too, Bloody Lazy To Start Now

So I Thought I'd Get A Little Messy

So I'll Let Loose And Get Things Heavy

Freeze, Drop To Your Knees
You Gotta Roll, Take Control
Freeze, Drop To You Knees
You Gotta Roll, Take Control



8.Awkward Game

Oh What My Luck The Game That I Played
I'll Duck For Cover When You Call Out My Name
And Oh La La La Unravel Your Chain
'Cause I Won't Touch Ya, Ya Burning Flame

You've Seen All Of Me And I Know
That All The Riches Come And Go
There's Something I Need You To Know

So, Quit Askin' Me, No, No More
Can't You See, Tonight I Won't Fall

If You Follow That Same Awkward Game
There's Nothing To Gain You Will Find, Oh Yeah
Some Day I'll Explain It's Fact, I Did It Again Yeah

When Your Heart Skips A Beat, Silence Be Afraid
I'm Loving The Heat Honey I Got The Rest Of Time
And I Feel Oh So Good Like I Should And I Know
Time Is Frozen, Bound And Broken Promises Are Cheap

So, Quit Askin' Me, No, No More
Can't You See, Tonight I Won't Fall

If You Follow That Same Awkward Game
There's Nothing To Gain You Will Find, Oh Yeah

So Don't Waste All Your Time
Pretending You Can

Well I'm Taking Back All That Your Stealin'
'Cause I Don't Want Nothing Your Dealin'
Sorry Not Sleeping I'm Leaving
Memory Coming Back Creeping



9.Safer

That Someone Far From Home Said To Me
I Can Tell, Luck Has Run Dry, What Do You See?
The Sky Above's Kind Of Broken And Torn
And Every Rose Plucked From My Hearts Twisted With Thorns

And Just When I Think I'm On Top I Wonder How I'll Get Back Down
And Just Then The Moment Is Lost, I Stumble And I Hit The Ground

And I Just Wanna Feel A Little Safer, Yeah I'm On My Knees
And I Don't Wanna Deal With All This Later, The Pain I Just Can't Take
And I Just Wanna Feel A Little Safer, Yeah I'm On My Knees
And I Don't Wanna Deal With All This Later, Just Drifting On The Breeze

That Someone In My Head Said To Me, I Can Tell
Deep In Your Heart You'll Find What You Need
Wasted Time Building Castles With Sand
And Everynight I'll Watch Them Fall And Slip Through My Hands

And Just When I Think I'm On Top I Wonder How I'll Get Back Down
And Just Then The Moment Is Lost, I Stumble And I Hit The Ground

And I Just Wanna Feel A Little Safer, Yeah I'm On My Knees
And I Don't Wanna Deal With All This Later, The Pain I Just Can't Take
And I Just Wanna Feel A Little Safer, Yeah I'm On My Knees
And I Don't Wanna Deal With All This Later, Just Drifting On The Breeze



10.Cigarettes and Lies

Soon, Soon You'll Sing It Out Loud,
You Gotta Stop Before You Go And Let Me Down, Yeah
Soon, Son You'll Sing It Out Loud,
You Gotta Stop Before You Go And Let It Down, Yeah

And Too Many Times Have You Shut Me Out

Don't You Want To Come And Play
I've Seen You Too Many Times A Day
When We Go We Fight To Be Sure
See I Can't Leave You Alone

Maybe, Baby, Maybe,
Maybe We Could Go Into The Sun,
Every Little Baby Makes Me Feel I've Won, Yeah
I Said Maybe, Baby, Maybe,
Maybe We Could Go Into The Sun,
Every Little Maybe Makes Me Feel I've Won, Oh

12.Sit in the Blues

Baby Listen, Every time You Asked Me, I Gave You Mine
Invitation For One Night, But You Never Thought Of Me More Then Twice

Cause There 'Aint Nothing That I Could Speak
You Give And You Take Then Your Done With Me

I Sit In The Blues, Waiting For You, Who I'll Never See
There's Never Good News No Not Bout You
Cause Something Don't Feel Right
There's Nothing To Choose I can't Refuse My Turn To Try
I Guess I Loose Boy 'Aint That Right

I'd Hate To Lie, My Friend Don't Deny
Cause What You Sees Real Even Though You Can't Feel
Count Back From 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Times
You'd Say You'd Drop By, But I'm A Fool Every time

Cause There 'Aint Nothing That I Can Speak
You Give And You Take Then Your Done With Me

I Sit In The Blues, Waiting For You, Who I Never See
There's Never Good News No Not Bout You

There's Nothing To Choose I can't Refuse My Turn To Try

The Way I Feel
And What I Know
Cause I Can't Explain
What's Going Down
The Way I Feel
And What I Know
Cause I Can't Explain Why I Can't Let Go




13.Echo Beach

I know
It's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo beach
I watch the sun go down

From nine till five
I have
To spend my time at work
The job is very boring
I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps
Pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back
At Echo Beach some day

On a silent summer evening
The sky's alive with light
Building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
On Echo Beach
Waves make the only sound
On Echo Beach
There's not a soul around

From nine till five
I have
To spend my time at work
The job is very boring
I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps
Pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back
At Echo Beach some day

Echo Beach
Far away in time
Echo Beach
Far away in time
