Dido - Hunter

Image
20010910 ===== With one light on in one room I know you're up when I get home With one small step upon the stair I know your look when I get there If you were a king up there on your throne would you be wise enough to let me go for this queen you think you own Wants to be a hunter again wants to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go The unread book and painful look the tv's on, the sound is down One long pause then you begin oh look what the cat's brought in If you were a king up there on your throne would you be wise enough to let me go for this queen you think you own Wants to be a hunter again wants to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go let me leave For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now and I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow and all the time I'm thinking, thinking I want to be a hunter again want to see the worl...

Dido - Sand In My Shoes

Image
20040913 ===== Two weeks away it feels like the whole world should've changed But I'm home now And things still look the same I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack Try to forget for one more night That I'm back in my flat on the road Where the cars never stop going through the night To a life where I can watch sunset I don't have time I don't have time [Chorus] I've still got sand in my shoes And I can't shake the thought of you I should get on, forget you But why would I want to I know we said goodbye Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity should run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here Try to remind myself that I was happy here Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away From the road where the cars never stop going through the night To a life where I can watch sunset And take my time Take all our time ...

Dido - Don't think of me

Image
20000219 ===== So you're with her and not with me I hope she's sweet and so pretty I hear she cooks delightfully a little angel beside you So you're with her and not with me Oh how lucky one man can be I hear your house is small and clean Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen Oh how lovely it must be When you see her sweet smile baby Don't think of me When she lays in your warm arms Don't think of me So you're with her and not with me I know she spreads sweet honey In fact your best friend I heard he spent last night with her Now how do you feel When you see her sweet smile baby Don't think of me When she lays in your warm arms Don't think of me And it's too late and it's too bad Don't think of me Oh it's too late and it's too bad Don't think of me Does it bother you now all the mess I made Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear Does it bother you now all the angry...

Dido - Don't Believe In Love

Image
20081027 ===== I wanna go to bed With arms around me But wake up on my own Pretend That I'm still sleeping Til' you go home Oh I can't look at you This morning I should probably have a sign That says 'Leave right now or quicker' You've overstayed your time If I don't believe in love Nothing will last for me If I don't believe in love Nothing is safe for me When I don't believe in love You're too close to me And that's why You have to leave Maybe I slept peaceful On your shoulder Your arm warm around my side But it's different now It's morning And I can't face your smile The second that I feel Your safe hands Reaching out for mine I slip away and out of sight You've ovestayed your time If I don't believe in love Nothing is good for me If I don't believe in love Nothing will last for me When I don't believe in love Nothing is new for me Nothing is wrong for me And not...

Dido - Life for Rent

Image
20030929 ===== I haven't ever really found a place that I call home I never stick around quite long enough to make it I apologize once again I'm not in love But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking It's just a thought, only a thought But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get Cos nothing I have is truly mine I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea To travel the world alone and live more simply I have no idea what's happened to that dream Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me It's just a thought, only a thought But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get Cos nothing I have is truly mine If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get Cos nothing I have is truly mine While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down Wh...

Dido - Thank You

Image
20001212 ===== My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall it reminds me that it's not so bad it's not so bad I drank too much last night, got bills to pay my head just feels in pain I missed the bus and there'll be hell today I'm late for work again and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day and then you call me and it's not so bad it's not so bad and I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through then you handed me a towel and all I see is you and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue because you're near me and I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life O...

Dido - White Flag

Image
20030901 ===== I know you think that I shouldn't still love you, Or tell you that. But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again And I caused nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again And if you live by the rules of "it's over" then I'm sure that that makes sense I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be And when we meet Which I'm sure we will All that was there Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've...

Dido - End of Night

Image
201304 ===== Only now its gone I can see the year See for what it was And start another day All the liberty you took The love that you abused The friends that you turned Against me if you could And youre twisting what I say All that saying you were scared It doesnt matter anymore Cos Im not there You were careless when the beat kicked in And careless when it left And careless all the way I didnt see it till the end I feel nothing When you cry I hear nothing See no need to reply I can smile now And turn away Come over here So you can see me walk away And celebrate The end of night The end of night It only takes one lie To bring this house down Behind closed doors No one tells the first time round Pain is worse when you bring it on yourself The sweetest bully building A love that couldnt last You were ugly when the beat kicked in And ugly when it left And ugly all the way, I didnt see it till the end I...
