album: "Don't Believe The Truth" (2005) "Lyla"
Calling
on the stars to fall And catch the silver sunlight in your hands Come for me and set me free Lift me up and take
me where I stand
She believes in everything and everyone and you and yours and mine I waited for a thousand years For
you to come and blow me out my mind
Hey Lyla The star's about to fall - So what you say Lyla The world around
us makes me feel so small Lyla If you can hear me call then I can say Lyla Heaven help you catch me if I fall
She's
the queen of all I've seen And every song and city far and near Heaven help me mademoiselle She rings the bell for
all the world to hear
"The Importance Of Being Idle"
I sold my soul for the second time Cos the
man, he don't pay me I begged my landlord for some more time He said "Son, the bills waiting"
My best friend
called me the other night He said "Man, are you crazy?" My girlfriend told me to get a life She said "boy, you lazy"
But
I don't mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine I'll be fine If you give me a minute A mans
got a limit You cant get a life if your hearts' not in it
I don't mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars
that shine I'll be fine If you give me a minute A mans got a limit I cant get a life if my hearts' not in it
I
lost my faith in the summertime Cos it don't stop raining The sky all day's as black as night But I love complaining
I
begged my doctor for one more line He said "Son, words fail me" It ain't no place to be killing time But I guess
I'm just lazy
I don't mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine I'll be fine If you give
me a minute A mans got a limit I cant get a life if my hearts' not in it
