Paloma Faith - Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? (2009)
01. Stone Cold Sober
I'll be the late night lady you won't recognise
I'm a chameleon I'm always in disguise
I'd read your future but it's written in the past
Take a good look might be your last
Don't try to show me, cause you don't know me
Stay away
I can be wilder than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold sober
You're telling me something
But there's nothing cheap as words
I'm walking away before I do affect the birds
Excuse me Mr I've got other things to do
Than to stand here listening to you
Stop talking at my face take a rocket out to space and
Stay away
I can be wilder than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold
I can be wilder than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold sober
In the madness of the storm
I'm the one to carry on
I don't need no medicine
If you're looking for a cure
Don't be knocking at my door
I'll never let you in
Take a rocket into space
And stay out of my face
I can be wilder than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold
I can be wilder than the wind
119 miles an hour
I'm in a whole other dimension
Dancing doubles on the floor
You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy
But I'm stone cold sober
02. Smoke & Mirrors
I met you we made a pact
Broke promises the system snaps
All your lies and neon lights are old
Dicta-coated miracles and then one day the curtain called
Behind your smile you're phony and a fake
Give it up
You've been discovered
Don't look back 'cos you've just lost your lover
Give it up
You're an illusion
Play our tricks and all I get is just confusion
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, what I told ya
That all this junk comes back around on you
You said you were built to last
You took my hand you made a pass
The moon eclipsed and circled round my heart
With your kiss my life began
Your love it hit and then you ran
And I hope you pay your dues I'm moving on
Give it up
You've been discovered
Don't look back 'cos you've just lost your lover
Give it up
You're an illusion
Play our tricks and all I get is just confusion
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, what I told ya
That all this junk comes back around on you
You might think I'm sitting home and crying
But I'm not, oh no
I've pulled the Queen of Clubs, there's no denying
I'm having the time of my life
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, what I told ya
That all this junk comes back around on you
And now we're through
The show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, what I told ya
That all this gunk comes back around
All this junk comes back around on you
03. Broken Doll
I'm a broken doll
And you're the puppeteer
Take control for me
And wipe away my fear
I don't claim to be perfect
I know I'm damaged goods
But I wanna be let out of darkness
Just like every lady would
Lick my wounds and watch them seal
With a healing heart
Embrace my sadness, look after me
'Cause there's no-one else I'd ask
I'm a broken doll
And you're the puppeteer
Take control for me
And wipe away my fear
Piece me all together
The broken high and sweet
You thought my heart was made of wood
But I can hear it beat
I'm scared of shadows in the night
When you're not there by my side
Sick of nightmares in my sleep
There's no place I can hide
See the beauty in the blood
That drips down from my eyes
Hold the parts that were ripped out
That had took me by surprise
I'm a broken doll
And you're the puppeteer
Take control for me
And wipe away my fears
Piece me all together
The broken high and sweet
You thought my heart was made of wood
But I can hear it beat
Boom, Boom
There it goes
Boom, Boom
To the sound of the grand piano
I'm dancing in your light
And I like it here
I'm a broken doll
And you're the puppeteer
Take control for me
And wipe away my fear
I'm a broken doll
And you're the puppeteer
Take control for me
And wipe away my fear
Piece me all together
The broken high and sweet
You thought my heart was made of wood
But I can hear it beat
I'm a broken doll
And you're the puppeteer
Take control for me
And wipe away my fear
Piece me all together
The broken high and sweet
You thought my heart was made of wood
But I, I hear it beat
04. Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?
The prophet took my hand on All Saints Day
He preached the value of deception
Changing shadows by a shape-shifter's rules
Tales are never just for fools
The court of conscience came before me
Presenting me with a heavenly angel
You took my hand and ask me, truth aside
To his questions I replied
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
He stood as tall as redwood trees
Drank tea from a seamstress thimble
Didn't want to speak, the honest truth
So I spit out lies that aimed to soothe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
Secrets, lying, falling veils
I can be who you want me to be
Sacred, lies in, telling tales
I can be who you want me to be
But do you want me?
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
Sacred lies in, telling tales
I can be who you wants me to be x2
I can be who you wants me to be
But do u want me?
But do u want me?
05. Upside Down
Angels watching over me,
With smiles upon their face,
Cause I have made it through this far,
In an unforgiving place.
It feels sometimes this hills to steep
For a girl like me to climb,
But i must knock those thoughts right down,
I'll do it in my own time.
I don't care,
I'm halfway there,
On a road that leads me straight to who knows where?
I'll tell you what,
What I have found,
That I'm no fool,
I'm just upside down.
Ain't got no cares,
I ain't got no rules,
I think i like living upside down.
Watching people scurry by,
Rushing to and fro,
Oh this world is such a crazy place,
It's all about the go go go.
Sometimes life can taste so sweet,
When you slow it down,
You start to see the world a little differently,
When you turn it upside down.
I don't care,
I'm halfway there,
And I'm just soaking up the magic in the air.
I'll tell you what,
What I have found,
That i'm no fool,
I'm just upside down.
Ain't got no cares,
I ain't got no rules,
I think i like living upside down.
I'll tell you what,
What I have found,
That i'm no fool,
I'm just upside down.
Ain't got no cares,
I ain't got no rules,
I think i like living upside down.
Woa, Woa, Woa
You got to slow it down,
And then you pick it up,
Come on and try a little topsy-turvy back to front the right way round.
Take it slow, slow, slow (you gotta pick it up),
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah (let me see you slow it down),
Hey, yo, yo (tell me something something).
I'll tell you what,
What I have found,
That i'm no fool,
I'm just upside down.
Ain't got no cares,
I ain't got no rules,
I think i like living upside down.
I'll tell you what,
What I have found,
That i'm no fool,
I'm just upside down.
Ain't got no cares,
I ain't got no rules,
I think i like living upside down.
06. Romance Is Dead
The plastic flowers you gave for sit on the table so unstable
And there is some greasy finger prints in the pre-wrote birthday card you wrote your name in
And I know that you make your effort but I think you could do much better
A rose is blue and violets red
Say it isn't true Don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up you sleepy head
All your dreams are just a kiss away...
I ask you for a letter so you emailed, Have we failed?
Oh, you kiss with such a potential, then ask to speed up
It's not enough now I am carrying my own bags up, 17 flights of stairs, love
A rose is blue and violets red
Say it isn't true, don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up sleepy head
Think of all the magic we could make
All your dreams is just a kiss away...
You shouldn't take just valentine day just to show you love me
You don't need any money, just a bit of imagination
A rose is blue and violets red
You say it isn't true, don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up you sleepy head
Think of all the magic we could make
All your dreams is just a kiss away
All roses blue and violets red
You say it isn't true don't tell em romance is dead
So wake up you sleepy head
Think of all the magic we could make
All Roses blue and violets red
You say it isn't true don't tell em romance is dead
So wake up you sleepy head
Think of all the magic we could make
All your dreams is just a kiss away!
07. New York
The days were long and the nights so cold
The pages turn and the tale unfolds
He left me for another lady
She stood so tall and she never slept
The was not one moment he could regret
He left me for another lady
He took my hand one day and told me
He was leaving
Me disbelieving
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Had to let him go
Her name was New York, New York
And she took his heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She had poisoned his sweet mind
Mmmm
The wolves they howled for my lost soul
I fell down a deep black hole
He left me for another lady
She poured the drinks and she poured the power
Diamond girl who could talk for hours
He left me for another lady
Now I am on my own
He told me he was leaving
And I was pleading
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Had to let him go
Her name was New York, New York
And she took his heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She had poisoned his sweet mind
The greatest times
I don't wanna hear it
Your new laughter lines
I don't wanna hear it
The new found friends she introduced you to
I don't wanna know them I just want to be with you
Please don't make me go to...
New York, New York
She took your heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She poisoned your sweet mind
She poisoned your sweet mind.
08. Stargazer
He was a star collector, she knew about the skies
He was a tightrope walker, she was the talk of the town
While he was in the clouds he'd show her the signs
And he know what they mean
Twinkle twinkle little dream
Stargazer, heart breaker, wish you were here
How will I shine anymore without your atmosphere?
My dear stargazer, don't disappear
How will I shine anymore when you're not here?
She had it all and lost it, now is forever in space
He circles Halley's comet and lights up the sky like a flame
Now she's a star collector, she knows the signs
And she knows what they mean
Twinkle twinkle little dream
Stargazer, heart breaker, wish you were here
How will I shine anymore without your atmosphere?
My dear stargazer, don't disappear
How will I shine anymore when you're not here?
In my everyday, and the moment I wake up beyond me
You're the only one who can bring me stars for me
Twinkle twinkle little dream
My little dream
Stargazer, heart breaker, wish you were here
How will I shine anymore without your atmosphere?
My dear stargazer, don't disappear
How will I shine anymore when you're not here?
Give me a shooting star
And I'll make a wish
I'll make a wish for you
How will I shine anymore, when you're not here?
09. My Legs Are Weak
I'm collecting people's tears
They cried because they miss you
They filled the seas and all the lakes
With memories the wind blew
I'd run out of jars
Before a second could pass
Didn't have enough time with you
To turn the hourglass
Pictures in my head, suddenly appear
Why'd you have to go away
It's all not very clear
Goodbye sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the times we had, on my memory
My legs are weak
When i close my eyes i see you
The dimples in your cheeks
I forgot to thank you for things
Cos i hadn't seen you in weeks
Woke up this morning
And hoped for a dream
But reality sat next to me
And forced me to believe
Knocked down too soon
Like a skittle on the lanes
The man took the wrong stop
From lifes's fast moving train
Goodbye sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the times we had, on my memory
My legs are weak
Funeral flowers, won't make me believe
They can carry out your casket
And i'll still expected see, you, you
Come round tomorrow
And tell me all your news
I don't ask for much from you
Sleep to my lullaby
Only give me one more chance
To say my last goodbye
Goodbye sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the times we had, on my memory
My legs are weak
Goodbye sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the times we had, on my memory
My legs are weak
10. Play On
We are a lullaby,
An everlasting Song
Taken this prisoners to a place where we belong
If the tune stops, I will not wake Oh No
Without us I am no one,
My soul swells and aches
So I am the day
When the music dies so will our Love, there will be some pain
But I will keep it in my Locket
If you'll lead the band, I will have to follow
There is no escape for me So Play on
Keep me dancing in the air
Play on, No one else can compare
Play on, to the harmony of our sweet rapture
Play on, you have a supernatural flair
Play on, Push me further than I dare
Play on, Play on, Play on
So play on for me
So If this melody just stopped or fade away
Oceans will drain out and the stars disintegrate
It's like 2 roads, I have lost all my control, I look into you, you make me rock and roll
So I am the day
When the music dies so will our love, there will be some pain
But I will keep it in my locket
If you will lead the band, I will have to follow
There is no escape 4 me So play on
Keep me dancing in the air
No else can compare, play on
To the harmony of our sweet rapture
Play on,
You have a super natural flair
Play on, push me further than I dare
Play on, play on, play on
So play on for me
Keep me dancing in the air
No one else can compare
To the harmony of our sweet rapture
Play on,
You have a super natural flair
Play on, push me further than I dare
Play on, play on, play on
So play on for me
