Katie Melua – Nine Million Bicycles

*** Katie Melua – Nine Million Bicycles ***

Lyrics

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That’s a fact,
It’s a thing we can’t deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That’s a guess,
No-one can ever say it’s true
But I know that I will always be with you.

I’m warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don’t call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you’re the one I love the most of all

We’re high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I’ll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That’s a Fact,
it’s a thing we can’t deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you ’till I die!

Katie Melua – If You Were A Sailboat

*** Katie Melua – If You Were A Sailboat ***

Lyrics

If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor
If you were a sail boat I would sail you to the shore
If you were a river I would swim you,
If you were a house I would live in you all my days
If you’re a preacher I’d begin to change my ways

Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you

If I was in jail I know you’d spring me
If I was a telephone you’d ring me all day long
If I was in pain I know you’d sing me soothing songs

Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you

If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you’d read me every night

If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor
If you were a sail boat I would sail you to the shore
If you were a sail boat I would sail you to the shore

Katie Melua – Spider’s Web

*** Katie Melua – Spider’s Web ***

Lyrics

If a black man is racist, is it ok?
When it’s the white man’s racism that made him that way,
Because the bully’s the victim they say,
By some sense they’re all the same.

Because the line between,
Wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread,
From a spider’s web.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.

I could tell you to go to war,
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more,
How do I know which is right,
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight.

Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider’s web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.

Should we act on a blame?
Or should we chase the moments away?
Should we live?
Should we give?
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time.
Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider’s web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind…

Katie Melua – The Closest Thing to Crazy

*** Katie Melua - The Closest Thing to Crazy ***

Lyrics

How can I think I’m standing strong?
Yet feel the air beneath my feet
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep?
Then break my dreams the way you do
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
I was never crazy, on my own and now I know
That there’s a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you

How can you make me fall apart?
Then break my fall with loving light
It’s so easy to break a heart
It’s so easy to close you eyes
How can you treat me like a child?
Yet like a child I yearn for you
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
I was never crazy, on my own and now I know
That there’s a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you

And being close to you…
And being close to you…
