Charlie Winston Album

Mother,
I've gotta get out of here
So I can save our family
From this poverty
And when I make my money
I'll send it back to you

Father,
Give me strength, I pray
I have to end this misery
It's causing too much pain
I'm gonna look for richer lands
Where the money's made

I'm gonna put my whole World
In your hands
I have to put my whole World
In your hands
In your hands

Mister,
Please let me work somehow
You've kept me waiting 18 months
And still I'm not allowed
And every time you promise me:
"Not much longer now"

I've had to put my whole world
In your hands
I'm gonna put my whole world
In your hands
In your hands

Hey, hey, oho
Listen, listen to me

Mister! Mister! You say you're trying
But don't you know my brother's dying
You say "it won't be long"
But why am I so cursed
For where I am born?
I know

You've got my whole world
In your hands
I've had to put my whole world
In your hands
I'm gonna put my whole world
In your hands
I've had to put my whole world
In your hands
In your hands

I’ve always known
Since I was a young boy
In this world, everything’s as good as bad
Now my father told me always speak a true word
And I have to say that is the best advice I’ve had
Because something burns inside of me
It’s everything I long to be
And lies they only stop me from feeling free

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s gonna stop me

I’ve never yearned for anybody’s fortune
The less I have the more I am a happy man
Now my mother told me always keep your head on
Because some may praise you just to get what they want

And I said mama I am not afraid
They will take what they will take
And what would life be like without a few mistakes

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s gonna stop me

If you say this is pop; to be singing to a tune with
a rythm like this, Would it be so unpopular
for a singer like to be bringing up the fact
that we're all gonna go? Some people swear,
they say they know where. For me it's a
mystery. But which ever way you see it
you have to admit it and live it and live it

We all kick the bucket in the end, the end!
All the girls kick the bucket in the end, the end!
And the boys kick the bucket in the end, the end!
Yep! we all kick the bucket in the end, the end!
The end, the end

Blew up, my TV. It was numbing my brain
to be thinking the same as a millon other
people all fealing afraid of the same thing.
But there's nothing to lose, coz' we're all on a
bike and we're cycling through, getting off on
our injuries - but you gotta get back on it
and live it and live it to love it and live it
and love life!

Coz' we all kick the bucket in the end, the end...
All the girls kick the bucket in the end, the end
And the boys kick the bucket in the end, my friend
Yep, we all kick the bucket in the end, the end
The end, the end, the end

This is not a sad song!
I don't bring it up to get you down.
It's a celebration of all the red cells
going round and round in your body!
I don't mean to preach or to sound like a
teacher. No! - I only wanna cut the crap
and, looking back, everybody's had to
face the facts

That we all kick the bucket in the end, the end
All the girls kick the bucket in the end, the end
And the boys kick the bucket in the end, my my my friend
Yep, we all kick the bucket in the end, the end
The end, the end
The end, the end
ah aha aha aha
ah aha aha aha aha aha aha aha

Darling, I hate to see you So angry with the world
If people want a piece of you
Then they're missing something for themselves.
Maybe it's selfish of me to look at you and say
"Come back to me girl I loveand I'll stay.

Coz I love your smile
Yes, I love your smile
How I love your smile
More than you know

Sometimes I might seem cold holding back my sympathies
For people stories and people tell
Can so easily be believed.
The truth gets so distorted when everyone knows best
And sadness tends to find his friends
On the road to righteousness -
Darling, let's never be a part of that

Coz I love your smile
I love your smile
Girl,I love your smile
More than you know

I don't know why
a laugh is hard to find
could it be all of our fears
that we hide behind?
Like bricks in the wall
I wanna see them
fall down!

Coz I love your smile
Yes, I love your smile
Girl, I love your smile
More than you know

Hey hey hey
I love your smile
Girl,I love your smile
When I love your smile
More than you know

Well, I love your smile
Cause I love smile, baby
You know what I mean

They laugh at me at my life.
My life as a duck;
But I don't get worked up.
It's my life as a duck.

You may think this is funny;
You may think I had bad luck;
Or did you think that I was stuck,
In my life as a duck?

For all my life I've tried to hide
the animal in me
Now it's time to open up and
breathe
And breathe

I don't know where I'm going
Or from which place I have come.
But as long as I'm floating
The don't can be undone

You must be thinking 'what is he on?'
But things are looking up
I've started to believe in living
My life as a duck

For all my life I'v tried to hide
the animal in me
Now it's time to open up and breathe
And breathe

So listen!

I know everything about you
Your father was a duck
(x4)
For all my life...

As a child with ocean eyes I smiled
At a world existing just for me;
Without boxes, borders or boundaries
I built dreams;

But like plastic building blocks
They were knocked down to the ground
I grew up
To a world of compromise
Analysing what it means to dream

I don't really want to understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling, you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
we'll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they'll put us in

Who shall we propose to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
With these empty building blocks
I could make a thousand me's

I don't really wanna understand everything in my world
It spoils to find out
Come on darling, you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We'll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes They'll put us in

And I'm told we all fix in -
But why should I belong to one thing?
Who shall we propose to be
Who am I supposed to be
With these plastic building blocks
I could make a thousand me's

I don't really...
... the boxes they'll put us in

I heard you calling me
As I was swept away deeper into the sea
In love, I missed it's treachery; swimming free
And in one breath a twist of fate made history

Mother Nature took me in
She swept me under then I knew it was my end
My whole life flashed in front of me, so sudenly
And sinking down I knew I could still hear your
scream!

I hear you calling me
There's nothing I can do
I hear you calling me
To answer back to you

Ooh

And now you're losing sleep
With memories, you spend all night playing hide and seek
Replaying how it should've been and could've been
If only there were omens that you could've seen

Back in that room again
You hope to reach me through a medium
But there's no use; I can't reply to this lover's cry
Oh! How I wish I could see you
one more time
To say goodbye!

I hear you calling me
There's nothing I can do
I hear you calling me
To answer back to you

mmh

I hear you calling me
There's nothing I can do
I hear you calling me
To answer back to you
(2x)

Now's a chance, here in France, I've got to give it a go
How d'you say I'm happy? Estoy feliz contigo? No! No!
Désolé, mon français est un petit peu confus
Parce que tout le temps si j'essaie
Hablo poco spanish - another stupid English boy!

Anyway, if I say 'si j'essaie' donc I do.
Je voudrais que tu saches en français:
Tu mi gusto mucho Piense que te amo

I gotta whole lotta love on the tip of my tongue
But the words won't come like I want them to come
I'm like Old Mother Hubbord getting lost in hre cupboard
And I think I'm loosing you

mmmh

Second go, take it slow, it's not the end of the world
Enfin bon, ça c'est bon, ce n'est pas la fin du monde.
Mais il y a quelque chose que je voudrais te dire -
Listen up! écoute! Important!
Te quiero mucho. La chica mas linda
Oh no! That's español!

I gotta whole lotta love on the tip of my tongue
But the words won't come like I want them to come
I'm like Old Mother Hubbord getting lost in hre cupboard
And I think I'm loosing you

So give me one more chance let me try to explain
I've got the words in my heart
But not in my brain
And now I'm all tongue tied
But at least I tried
To build a little bridge to you

In a moment of weakness I give up on the romance
And I fall for a cliché but without thinking I say
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?"
But you turn your back
And back with a slap!

I gotta whole lotta love on the tip of my tongue
But the words won't come like I want them to come
I'm like Old Mother Hubbord getting lost in hre cupboard
And I think I'm loosing you

So give me one more chance let me try to explain
So give me one more chance let me try to explain
And I have my whole tongue tied
But at least I tried
To build a little bridge to you

I'm gonna be a little breach to you
I'll be a little breach to you

All of me
You found a way to all of me
mmh
And helplessly, I've fallen like a child
Hopelessly, I'm hoping you're the one for me
mmh
You comfort me
With every certain smile

But we have only just begun
Still so much for us to learn
Give and take; let's take our time
Taking turns in touching
Nowhere that I'd rather be
Than with you making history
Close your eyes; I'll close mine
And learn to love you
Tu tu tututu...

All of me
You found your way to all of me
And helplessly
I'm faling like a child
Hopelessly
I'm hoping your the one for me
You comfort me
With every certain smile

But we have only just begun
Still so much for us to learn
Give and take, let's take our time
Taking times and touching
No way that I grab the bees?
And with you making history
Close your eyes, I'll close mine
And learn to love you

No one needs to know
If we choose to run away far from here
tutu tututu ...

No one cares for each other here
And no one shares words we need to hear
We take what we want
And turn our backs on it all
Life is sweet coz we've got it all
But who knows love as necessity?
And who knows fear as reality

It's all mixed up in the highstreet shops
Where you think you're smart coz the price is cut
But two for one never means too much
Coz it's all on top and you're in the clutch
Of society boasting "beautiful"
With the garantee it's ephemeral
You can see right through
It's not made to last
It's a precious lie
with a heart of glass

Oh ohohoho

Looking out at the emptiness of faces
Makes me wonder what a wonder world this is
Is this another generation lost in the darkness
Everybody is someone else's opinion

I don't wanna be a victim of this culture
More prey for a people to dispose of
Anytime I try and come to some conclusion
I'm only faced to with confusion. Confusion

Welcome to a generation spent
Tutu tutututu
We're all dead and spent
Welcome to a generation spent
Tutu tutututu
We're all dead and spent
Devil spent

Everybody's desillusioned with religion
No one really wants to talk about or question god
You're only someone if you're seen on television
I would love to sit back and turn the whole world off

Coz I don't wanna to be a victim of ya culture
Giving money to a people I'm ashamed of
I'm happiest when reality is dreamed up
To socialise is to compromise myself

Welcome to a generation spent
Tutu tutututu
We're all dead and spent
Welcome to a generation spent
Tutu tutututu
We're all dead and spent
Dead and spent

I'm a fool to be kind to you:
It's not what the men in your life tend to do
Must be so strange; finding someone
who only accepts you
Rejection's a lesson you've had
You're lost in the anger you feel for your dad
But, oh, how he loves you,
There's no doubt
With all his high hopes for you

I could push you away
I could say I don't want you no more
I could drive you right into the floor
And tell you you're useless;
Get used to it lady
But I'm big in believing that, baby, you're bigger than that
It's respect for yourself that you lack
And success; it's a mood that you choose
With every step

I want to grow old with you
To hold your old hand and look back on our youth
I will be strong. Times I might not
I'm only human

I could push you away
...
With every step

So, be free like a bumble bee
Spread wings like a bird
Squawk like a peacock and
Let your voice be heard, it's OK
I have no lock, key or a cage
You've got to want to stay

I won't push you away
I won't say I don't want you no more
I won't drive you right into the floor
But I'll tell you you're beautiful;
Get on with it lady
Coz I'm big in believing that, baby,
you're bigger than that
It's respect for yourself that you lack
And success; it's a mood that you choose
With every step
So take a step
It's just step by step

I won't apologise for the mess that you're in
I'm gonna hide my eyes from your crimson sin
No sacrife can make atonement again
The blood is on your hands: You should be ashamed

You won't forget my name!
You won't forget my name!

So now I say goodbye and this to you, I pledge:
Take your final step and plummet over the edge
You listened to the snake! I won't take any blame
Now here's my breath in your face,
I leave you up in flames.

You won't forget my name!
You won't forget my name!

Behold! The angel's singing sweet
For righteousness; a cry!
He sings for you so tenderly:
"Apple of my eye!"

Stay right where you are;
Don't be foolish to try any courageous moves
You won't be saving lives
I didn't do all I've done for you to put me to shame
Now in your final hour my legacy remains

You won't forget my name!
You won't forget my name!

Behold! The angel's singing sweet
For righteousness; a cry!
He sings for you so tenderly:
"Apple of my eye!"
