Natalie Imbruglia Album

I thought I saw a man brought to life
he was warm he came around like he was dignified
he showed me what t was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
you don't seem to know - or seem to care what your heart s for
I don't know him anymore
there's nothing where he used to lie
my conversation has run dry
that's what's goin' on
nothing's fine
I'm torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
lying naked on the floor
illusion never changed
into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
you're a little late
I'm already torn

so I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
but you `crawled beneath my veins and now I don't care, I have
no luck
I don't miss it all that much
there's just so many things
that I can't touch
I'm torn
there's nothing where he used to lie
my inspiration has run dry
that's what's goin' on
nothing's right I'm torn...
[chorus]

First the good news
it's gonna feel very nice
then the bad news
you gotta pay a heavy price
rip tide, we slide we ride on a deep forbidden sea
underwe go - o so slow
and you're hanging onto me
and I say
oh oh one more addiction in my world
oh one more connection to let go
oh flowing down the river
out of sight forever (from my world)

it's the only thing I know how to do
I reject you
but I can't follow through
I'd forget you
but you'd end up tappin' on my back door
somehow I lost myself
in a tunnel long and black
somewhere, at the end, I pretend
there's a way of turning back
[chorus]

take a breath
let it out
all the things you frown about are meaningless of course,
unless you're doing this for real I guess
I meant to but
I don't know what
is in the way and could I say
it's you I bet
I won't forget
maybe I'm not ready yet
[chorus]

There's no sign on the gate
and there's mud on your face
don't ya think it's time we re-investigate this stuation
put some fruit on your plate
you forgotten how it started
close your eyes
think of all the bubbles of love we made
and you're down on your knee
it's too late
oh don't come crawlin'
and you lie by my feet
what a big mistake
I see you fallin'

gotta buz in my head
and my flowers are dead
can't figure out a way to rectify this situation
don't believe what you said
you forgotten how it started
close your eyes
think of all the bubbles of love we made
and you're down on your knees
it's too late
oh don't come crawlin'
and you lie by my feet
what a big mistake
I see you fallin'

I could sting like a bee
careful how you treat me
baby I don't think l'll accept, your sorry invitation
close the door as you leave
and you cry over me
I can't wait
I feel you stallin'
and you try to reach me
what a big mistake
I hear you callin'
[chorus]

I ask you to hold me, but you don't wanna hold me,
it doesn't work that way
I want you to love me, but you don't wanna love me,
I'm losing patience now
oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
stop asking for more
I'm goin' home on my own
oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own

leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
just leave me alone

you like me to stroke you
careful I don't choke you, did you read my mind
you say don't be blue
that is the best you can do
I've lost my patience now
[chorus]

Take your hand
and place it in my pocket
flick your eyes back in my sockets
put those thoughts away
sometimes they're much too loud
I'll take a breath
and cradle your sweet head
should've stayed at home in bed
put that face away
I'm melting for you
I know, I get cold
cos I cant leave things well alone
understand I'm accident prone
me, I get free
every night the morn is mine
but when the morning comes
don't say you love me
don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
boy I'm not so dumb
but when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there

I dreamt
about another girl in bed with you
you just laughed and smiled
denied the proof
we're fine till I think of a problem
I wish it made sense
like a joke that no one gets
it's alive without regret
I want to feel that way, forever and ever
[chorus]

My lullaby, hung out to dry
what's up with that
it's over
where are you dad
mums' looking sad
what's up with that
it's dark in here
why bleeding is breathing
you're hiding, underneath the smoke in the room
try, bleeding is believing
I used to

my mouth is dry
forgot how to cry
what's up with that
you're hurting me
I'm running fast
can't hide the past
what's up with that
you're pushing me
why, bleeding is breathing
you're hiding, underneath the smoke in the room
try, bleeding is believing
I used to

why, believing is breathing
you're hiding, underneath the smoke in the room
try, bleeding is believing
I saw you crawling on the floor
why, bleeding is believing
you're hiding, underneath the smoke in the room
why bleeding is believing
I saw you crawling to the door
why, bleeding is believing
you're hiding, underneath the smoke in the room
try, bleeding is believing
I saw you falling on the floor

Gotta get back
gotta figure out a way
I'm losing - my senses to you
Where'd it go, the bluebird I should follow
back home? But where is home?
guess it won't amount to much
won't be long before I crush
I'll stand in line
don't believe a thing they say, today
seems we all get lost amongst the pigeons and the crumbs

all alone
but I'm in a crowded room
I'm sinking in quicksand tonight
you pick me up and I shine across the sky till morning, then
you color me in
guess it didn't amount to much
seems to me I've lost my touch
I'm back in line
don't believe a thing they say today
turn around and walk away
everything will go your way, I pray
seems we all get lost amongst the pigeons and the crumbs

Some people
don't worry
about nothing
don't know what's going on
I'm not one
who cant say they're sorry
I just care what's going on
there's more important things
than making sure your watch looks just right
and second hand opinions
don't make you look any smarter
don't you think
don't you think
don't you think that maybe it's time, yes it's time
time you started thinking
time you started thinking
and don 't just sweeten up the taste

brother shoots brother
but meanwhile you're fixing up your face
you're not affected by the truth
unless it's on your doorstep
deodorize your paradise
no point in getting crazy
don't you think
don't you think
don't you think that maybe it's time, yes it's time
time you started thinking 'bout things in the back of your
head

someone said before you turn a blind eye
hear a bell ring sex sells everything
but I don't buy it so don't try it
sleeping in the small world head in the sand
better wash your hands, make a new plan
there's more important things
than making sure your shoes walk just right
ignore reality there s nothing you can td about it...
the clothes you wear don t make the man
it's just another party
[chorus]

Sweet confetti out looking for a saviour
finding it hard to break the chain
nothing ventured nothing gained
ice cream beauty acting on her best behavior
finding it hard to bite her tongue
feeling so old as the night is young
six foot leaning on a lizard chest
two red dragons ironed on his vest
all that money you deserve the best
I'm impressed, I'm impressed, I'm impressed

what you've got isn't all that you've been given
changing your body like you change your jeans
nothing is ever as seems
something tells me it's a marriage made in heaven
stealing your look from a magazine
playing the part from a movie scene
six foot leaning on a lizard chest
two red dragons ironed on his vest
that money you deserve the best
I'm impressed, I'm impressed, I'm impressed

everyday is like your birthday
but the candle's burning, don't you see. don't you see

Everybody's been in my face
tellin' me I gotta make a change
all I ever hear day and night is "you better hurry up and get
a life"
I need some direction - 'cause the clock is ticking away
then a friend of a friend of mine
says I've really been on his mind
find wants to go out and check out what the feelin's about
says we have a deep connection - well it sure is news to me
and all can I say is
intuition tells me how to live my day
intuition tells me when to walk away
could have turned left
could haven turned right
but I ended up here
bang in the middle of real life

then another one always says - she'd do anything to get ahead
she doesn't care if she has to scratch and claw to get in the
door
she wants her 15 minutes of fame and 20 would be nice
but I guess it's her life
'cause intuition tells me that I'm doin' fine
intuition tells me when to draw the line
could have turned left
could have turned right
but I ended up here
bang in the middle of real life

should have turned left but I turned right
and I ended up here and I feel alright
you make it hard for me
can't find the real you
you really think that I can't see
what it is that you're going to do

[chorus]

Had a dream
had a drowning dream l was in a river of pain
only difference this time
I wasn't calling out your name yeah
has it ended before it's begun
you hold on
and I try to run but
anybody heading in my direction
away from the city
anybody wanna
change the way they feel step inside
doesn't really matter where you wanna take me
away from the city
I wanna start again
I wanna start again
I wanna take it back
I wanna start again

funny how those friends forget you when you tire of their
games
you miss a show or a party that blows
and they' ve forgotten your name, yeah
and you wonder what you've become
they pull you back when you try to run
well anybody heading in my direction
away from the city
anybody wanna change the way they feel step inside
doesn't really matter where you wanna take me
away from the city
I wanna start again
I wanna start again
I wanna take it back
I wanna start again

I left the me I used to be
I wanna see this through
I left the me I used to be
if only you'd see it too
well I wonder what you've become
you pull me back when I try to run
[chorus]

End of the third round
as I put the phone down
chasing the same lines
over the old ground
I'm pushing zero
where s my hero
he's out there somewhere
left of the middle
and your world falls down
and you're there calling out
but it's something I can't say
though it seems the only way
but it's a game that I can't play - not today

I got my ticket
find I got a straight road
but I'm passing the same signs
over and over
and my world falls down
and I'm there calling out
but it's something I cant say
though it's the only way
but it's a game that I can't play - not today

I need to tell you
trying to get through
it's not always easy
left of the middle
