WEST LONDON MAGIC

1.
I don’t know why you’re with me. Is it for your silly songs. You’re so cruel Maybe next time you’ll see me. Maybe next time I’ll belong In your world Maybe next time you’ll see Maybe next time when you’re wrong You’ll apologise Maybe next time when you’re gone I won’t miss you Maybe next time when you dance I could dance with you I don’t mind Holding on to all the times when you Gave me nothing I don’t know why you’re with me Is it for your silly songs You’re so cruel It’s not always about you It’s alright to be wrong You’re not cool Maybe next time You’ll see through me
2.
The Angels are awake between 3 and 6 It’s love it hurts and I believe in God She’s with me now it’s understood I would love you more if I could If I could It’s love it hurts and the dream is alive It’s hard to know if we will survive When I didn’t try You were so hard to find When I didn’t try You were so hard too hard to find When I didn’t try you were so hard to find Try try try try So many teachers and so many lies Maybe I’ll listen to you this time This tiny love is more than enough Lifts me up to the skies above The best is yet to come The end is here a sigh of relief Broken hearts never sleep When I didn’t try You were so hard to find When I didn’t try You were so hard too hard to find When I didn’t try you were so hard to find Try try try try So many teachers and so many lies Maybe I’ll listen to you this time

Dynamite 03:24
Where you gonna sleep tonight You know it’s cold outside of course you do Where you gonna score tonight You know it’s dynamite The lights went out and I wasn’t blind anymore A deeper wound and I’m not the man I was before You once turned heads Young and pretty so they said There’s another now Where you gonna eat tonight Who’s gonna care tonight Maybe only you Was a bad time was a summertime was a wintertime a lifetime Was a bad time was a summertime a wintertime a lifetime All the painted houses on Elizabeth Street The lights went out and I wasn’t blind anymore A deeper wound and I’m not the man I was before You once turned heads Young and pretty so they said There’s another now
4.
I’m angry ‘cos I’m frightened And the nights they feel so long Got to hold on And the way I feel tonight All my life Felt like I was wrong And I need more time And I need more time Hold on I’m angry ‘cos I’m frightened We’re not the same but we belong Together Holding on And the way I feel tonight All my life I’m waiting for the silence I’m waiting for the good times I’m waiting for the sunshine Sunshine You don’t know what you’ve got Tell you a thousand times you’re a star You don’t know who you are Tell you a thousand times Wishing you’d believe in yourself like I believe in you
