Bring The House Down

(browne/maitland/glenister)

How can i explain how it came to be
It wasn't over night while i couldn't sleep
I can still remember how it used to be
Oh, 'cause somewhere, it's hard remembering but somewhere
Somebody knows my name

Just give me a coat and a shirt that's clean
Just a little dutch stops my body quaking
Don't wait too long before the doubt sets in
Oh, 'cause somewhere, why can't you understand that somewhere
Somebody knows my name

Here i am with my back against the wall
No further left to fall
If i can't stand then at least if i can crawl
Then i know that i won't forget
Somewhere

I know what's going on what they've planned for me
I catch every word it's all in my hearing
Don't wait too long before the doubt sets in
Oh, 'cause somewhere, it's hard remembering but somewhere
Somebody knows my name

Here i am with my back against the wall
No further left to fall
If i can't stand then at least if i can crawl
Then i know that i won't forget
Somebody knows my name

Somebody somewhere
Somebody somewhere
Somebody knows my name

How can i explain how it came to be
It wasn't over night while i couldn't sleep

Somebody knows me
Somebody knows me
Somebody knows me

Good morning - it's raining
Everything you ever said - yeah
But, this morning, the way it's falling
Nothing's landing on my head
There's a cloud - grey - the lining it's shedding
Can't touch my day - it's rice at a wedding
And you, me and everybody i know
Is waving us away

Chorus
It's a heavenly day
There's a whole lot more on the way
It's a heavenly day
Angels with me today
If you could believe you'd see
What else could it be
It's a heavenly day

It's easy - believe me
To get outside you situation
I'm transfixed - all the red bricks
Circle round in celebration
There's a chalk smile drawn in the road
It could be mine - i'm taking it home
It's for you, me and everybody i know
I'm giving it away

It's a heavenly day
There's a whole lot more on the way
It's a heavenly day
Angels with me today
If you could believe you'd see
What else could it be
It's a heavenly day

(browne/glenister)

Getting peeled off another bar
I've got to go but it's just too far
She's looking good for a night in a padded cell
Like a virus with no antidote
She's looking good but she might be a bloke
She could be venus but it's getting so hard to tell

(chorus)
How would i know the kind of love
One in a million girls
One in a million years
Could give me

I see the smiles through the coloured smoke
I'd love to laugh but i don't ge the joke
Guess i'm the star in a one man show
Pour me a cab with a lemon twist
A bowl of peanuts and a well-placed fist
Oooh i'm seeing those chips again

(chorus)

Looking at the world
Why can't it see me
You know i wish it could see me

(chorus)

(browne/maitland/glenister)

You have all you want
Your shadow stands so tall
You can't see over it
And it's what you need

There's no-one going to
Stop you from believing it
And so the game begins
Watching the china spin
Walking on gilded pins

(chorus)
Become more than a mother's son
Who jumped the blocks before the gun
Disturbed the silent sun i know
Only a friend would know
And though you think it just don't show
Only a friend would notice
Only a friend would know


When you're getting down
Remember all the things
We used to dream about
How you'd leave this town
And be the only thing they'd talk about
There's something to be said
For laying down and playing dead
Why don't you live instead

(chorus)

(browne)

Corners round off the edges
Of my broken heart
Borders, close off the edges
Of my mind
Won't you be my love
Every time i see that
Look in your eyes
Be my life
It's only then that i realise
Be my home
Don't believe me
When i tell you goodbye
Whatever i might say
Don't believe me

Slow down
What hurry are you in anyway
I wonder now
There's nothing
Nothing i won't do to keep you here

So won't you be my love

(browne/glenister)

She thinks the world and his dog
Should walk up her street
Maybe she's on to something
She keeps her head in the limelight
Wasting all my time
Time with this thing
Time won't help me now
She, she loves the sun
To shine on her face
Only to be her servant
I, i've got the rain
Full in my face
And a piece from the masters table
Peace won't help me now

Chorus
She lives in circles
The king is dead, long live the king
She lives in circles
But i won't be there next time round
I won't be there

She wants to play in my sand
But only today
Tomorrow's another story
I, i think she's great
It's a welcome mistake
That's leaving me wanting more
More won't help me now

She lives in circles
The king is dead, long live the king
She lives in circles
But i won't be there next time round
I won't be there

I know what i've seen there
She's loose in her dreams there
Her head is spinning - new sensation
She's out of her head
But i don't think she sees it
Ah she lives in circles
Long live the king
But i won't be there next time

She thinks the world and his dog
Should walk up her street
Maybe she's on to something
I, i think she's great
It's a welcome mistake
That's leaving me wanting more

She lives in circles
The king is dead, long live the king
She lives in circles
But i won't be there next time round
I won't be there

She lives in circles
Long live the king
She lives in circles
But i won't be there next time round
I won't be there
