Firework

We got sparklers, we wrote our names together
Yellow in the midnight air
In the darkness, your lips as soft as feathers
We kissed and it was love I swear
Your breath so sweet
Well, it intoxicated me
If heaven could be
Lying here forever
I'd never ever leave
Ah-woo-hoo, ah-woo-hoo
My heart is like a firework
Ah-woo-hoo, ah-woo-hoo
And you're the one who lit the spark
I think about you more than must be healthy
You're the one I'm doing it for
I don't believe I'll ever be that wealthy
I never was the millionaire sort
But if you don't mind
Being with a poor boy like me
Then that's alright
I'll be there in the morning
To make your toast and marmite
Ah-woo-hoo, ah-woo-hoo
My heart is like a firework
Ah-woo-hoo, ah-woo-hoo
And you're the one who lit the spark

Everything Is Beautiful
02:22

Girl on the bus, she smiled at me
And now everything is beautiful
Boy in the street sang a song for me
And now everything is beautiful
Everything is beautiful
Everything is beautiful
Everything is beautiful
Oh now, everything is beautiful
Bird in the sky flying fast and free
He knows everything is beautiful
Little brown nut make a big oak tree
Shows everything is beautiful
Everything is beautiful...
It's in the little things, you know
Like when a total stranger turns and says hello
I'm like a child running down a hill
Maybe a little out of control
But it's worth the risk for the sake of the thrill
Gap in the cloud let the sunlight in
And now everything is beautiful
Every now and then a loser wins
That's when everything is beautiful
Everything is beautiful...
All day long

The Boxer
03:23

Like a boxer who goes one fight too far
I'm staring at the ceiling, but I'm looking at the stars
I'm a man who believes he's always right
No ground is worth conceding without a fight
And I wish that I could tell you that I love you so
I wish that I could say you look beautiful
I wish that I could fill you with that happy glow
But I can't cos I've got too many punches left to throw
Like a boxer who knows he's past his prime
My ears are full of ringing and my heart beats out of time
But I can't let it go, I can't let things be
It kills me that it always ends violently
And I wish that I could tell you that I love you so
I wish that I could say you look beautiful
I wish that I could fill you with that happy glow
But I can't cos I've got too many punches left to throw
And if you strike, I'll strike you back
Though my head says don't react
My poor heart just screams attack, attack, attack
The snow is falling out the back
You say it's white, I say it's black
I wish that I could just relax and act like that means nothing
Like a boxer who goes one fight too far
I'm staring at the ceiling, but I'm looking at the stars
I'm a man who believes he's always right
No ground is worth conceding without a fight
And I wish that I could tell you that I love you so
I wish that I could say you look beautiful
I wish that I could fill you with that happy glow
But I can't cos I've got too many punches left to throw

Breakup Song
03:43
|

I used to say I love you
Now I tell you you're a whore
I used to send you flowers
I don't send them anymore
I used to let you in
But now I've boarded up the door
And now it's war
I lost my sense of humour
When you lost your sense of fun
Didn't see that all your stories
Bored the shit out of everyone
And now you're spreading rumours
That I was the reckless one
Did you think I'd run?
Words won't work this time
When hate and hate collide
You can say just what you like
Cos I'm doing alright
Yeah, I'm alright darling
Didn't know how I could hurt you
Then the answer came along
So I got this piece of paper
And wrote this breakup song
And I hope somehow it reaches you
So you see that you were wrong
And now it's done
Words won't work this time
When hate and hate collide
You can say just what you like
Cos I'm doing alright
Yeah, I'm alright darling
You thought you could live without me
Turns out you were wrong about me
You looked like a fool to doubt me
I'm drunk on the schadenfreude
Is now a good time to tell you
It wasn’t me, it was always you
You built your own hell and now you
Can shout all you like in the void
Words won't work this time
When hate and hate collide
You can say just what you like
Cos I'm doing alright
Yeah, I'm alright darling
