1. Jamie Cullum – Get Your Way
Dinner at eight, that sounds fine,
I suppose that means you'll turn up round nine.
Bought a bunch of flowers, just for her,
She says the burden's on the receiver.
I opened the door and you walked in,
(Sniff) The scent of wild jasmine.
The room, seemed to freeze in time,
My regular table will be just fine.
Radiant and elegant, you might be
But your concentration is so go-lightly
Both of your eyes reflecting the moon,
You really think you own the room.
CHORUS:
So What Game Shall We Play Today?
How About The One Where You Don't Get Your Way?
But Even If You Do,
That's Okay.
So What Game Shall We Play Today?
How About The One Where You Don't Get Your Way?
But Even If You Do,
That's Okay.
Try to pick it up, reading the signs,
It's turning out to be a real good time,
And who'd have thought that entertainment,
Lies in the winter of your discontent.
Now, sit at the table, face to face,
Queen takes pawn, check or checkmate!
I feel your foot brush against my leg,
I'm not that easily led.
You flutter your eyes and you toss your hair,
I have to say that it is kind of unfair,
Let me tell you baby now what's in store,
You win the battle, but I'll win the war!
CHORUS
This has been fun, I suppose,
Although my feelings are all juxtaposed,
But truth be told, I'm as fickle as hell,
But gentlemen never kiss and tell!
CHORUS
2. Jamie Cullum – London Skies
Paint a picture,
Clear cut and pale on a cold London day,
Shapes and cool light wander the streets like an army of strays,
On a cold London Day.
Chorus:
Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.
Patient moments you chill to the bone under infinite greys,
Vision hindered mist settling low like a ghostly ballet,
On a cold London Day.
Chorus
Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.
Bridge:
Nothing is certain except everything you know can change,
you worship the sun but now,
can you fall for the rain...
Chorus
Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.
3. Jamie Cullum – Photograph
Her name was written on the photograph,
right next to her red, sunburnt face,
it all had happened in that long tall grass,
about a mile from her old place,
I can't remember how it started and if it lasted that day in the sun.
We said that we were going to study hard,
we held our books instead of hands,
she held a blanket over cans of beer,
I can't deny I was so full of fear.
It's just another story caught up in another photograph I found.
and it seems like another person lived that life a great many years ago from now,
When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
when I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
And there's the first time that I tried that stuff,
I think I look a little green,
I remember throwing up behind a bush,
and I found it hard to use my feet,
and who's that easily led little boy who's really off his head?
It was the same night that I kissed that girl,
the tall one with the auburn hair,
I remember laughing coz to kiss me,
she had to sit down on a chair!
she tasted like the schnapps she'd drunk,
and the cigarette she'd stolen from her mum.
And it's just another story caught up in another photograph I found.
When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
4. Jamie Cullum – I Only Have Eyes For You
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'cause I only have eyes for you, dear
My love must be some kind of blind love
I don't see anybody but you
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am i
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
I only have eyes for you
My love must be some kind of blind love
I don't see anybody but you
5. Jamie Cullum – Nothing I Do
We were so drunk last night,
We had that stupid fight,
You called me a useless selfish prick,
So I'm in a fix right now,
And we'll measure the truth somehow,
love is a funny thing to me,
Pre-Chorus 1:
then you stormed out and grabbed your coat,while slamming shut the door,
a ruthless move so cold you left your keys inside the door Oh...
Chorus:
Can Nothing i do make you happy anymore,
nothin' i say put a smile onto your face,
can nothing i say bring us back together,
nothing i do put a smile onto your face.
(Spoken) Well Okay..
Next day i called you back,
and you called me a stupid twat,
and then you were crying on the phone,
you sounded so upset, you said,
i wasn't the man you'd met
3 years and 7 months ago
Pre-Chorus 2:
i pleaded with her take me back,i'll change my sorry ways
so tell me why mysteriously im annoyed instead of shamed
Chorus2:
Can Nothing i do make you happy anymore,
Can nothin' i say put a smile onto your face
nothing i do bring us back together
nothing i say put a smile onto your face
Im pondering it all after that call
i think it is clear
i am here, you're from another stratosphere
Oh, now all the things she said they went around my head
and come out my ear,
and not before long,
this stubborn soul thinks he's done no wrong.
Pre Chorus 3:
As when the questions flutter 'round my head like butterflies,
my head spins at reflecting on another love's demise, Ohhhh
Chorus2:
(Spoken) All together now... ah 1,2,3...
*Whistles in tune to the chorus* -- until fade out
6. Jamie Cullum – Mind Trick
I missed the opportunity
To get you babe to stay with me
Never thought, i’d regret the excuses that i’ve made
Like a song, it will fade
*I’m lifting you up
I’m letting you down
I’m dancing till dawn
I’m fooling around
I’m not giving up
I’m making your love
This city made us crazy and we nust get out
So I put my feeling out to dry
Love...
Once day again i’ll have to try
Falling out, making up it seems such a silly game
Why do I never again
*I’m lifting you up
I’m letting you down
I’m dancing till dawn
I’m fooling around
I’m not giving up
I’m making your love
This city made us crazy and we nust get out
[music]
*I’m lifting you up
I’m letting you down
I’m dancing till dawn
I’m fooling around
I’m not giving up
I’m making your love
This city made us crazy and we nust get out
7. Jamie Cullum – 21st Century Kid
There's maybe a way I can’tell you
Cos with everyday things continue
To get more compromised
So who will fantasise
A new generation politicised
When things are done in our own name
Are we as much to blame
Now it's become clear to me
But only lately
And the ground is removed underneath
Shout it from the brink
You’re louder than you think
21st century kid surrounded by illusion and confusion
So maybe if you’re holding out for the truth now
Could it be the greatest weapon
Could it be the greatest weapon
Your weapon
Nothing is certain except a memory
And that's soon washed away by a low sea
Now sit yourself down my one
And see what you become
Ignoring a smouldering gun
The white dove's flown
D'ya think we're on our own
21st century kid surrounded by illusion and confusion
So maybe if you’re holding out for the truth now
Could it be the greatest weapon
21st century kid surrounded by illusion and confusion
So maybe if you’re holding out for the truth now
Could it be the greatest weapon
Could it be the greatest weapon
Your weapon
8. Jamie Cullum – I’m Glad There Is You
said i many times, love is illusion,
a feeling result of confusion
with knowing smile and blasin’ sigh,
a cynical so and so, am i
i feel so sure, so positive,
so utterly unchangeably certain
though i never was aware of loving you
'til i suddenly realised there was love in you and oh...
chorus:
in this world of ordinary people...
extraordinary people,
i'm glad there is you
in this world of overrated pleasures
and underrated treasures,
i'm glad there is you.
i live to love,
i love to live with you beside me
this role, so new
i'll muddle through with you
if you'll guide me through.
in this world where many, many play at love
and hardly any stay in love,
i'm glad there is you
more than ever, i'm glad there is you
said i many times, love is illusion...
9. Jamie Cullum – Oh God
I know it's been a while since I have talked to you
But maybe you're the one who makes the winds blow
We're looking at the stars without explanation
We contemplate as kings and simple men on trial
Our little world's fragile
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
So who's the last resort... Oh God
Tumbling towards unclear destinations
Do they wash away the blame,
The wind and the searing rains
As our powers interchange
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
So who's the last resort... oh God
(Sax intro)
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Maybe it's not just down to you
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
So who's the last resort
10. Jamie Cullum – Catch The Sun
Every day it comes to this
Catch the things you might have missed
You say, get back to yesterday
I ain't ever going back
Back to the place that I can't stand
But I miss the way you lie
I'm always misunderstood
Pulled apart and ripped in two
But I miss the way you lie
Catch the sun, before it's gone
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone
Catch the sun, it never comes
Cry in the sand, lost in the fire
I never really understood
Why I didn't feel so good
But I miss the way you lie
I've always been up and down
Never wanted to hit the ground
But I miss the way you lie
Catch the sun, before it's gone
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone
Catch the sun, it never comes
Cry in the sand, lost in the fire
11. Jamie Cullum – 7 Days To Change Your Life
Just one local call and you'll see
A Happy path through life, not for free
Little bit fat, you can’t get a girl
Short on cash, I'll change your world
The only way now is straight up
You're deepest despair, I'll make it stop
Just 19.95 on major credit cards
And You'll stay alive, you'll go far
In just 7 short days, you'll change your life
All of your innocence found
You'll even lose a few pounds
See yourself making a mint
Quality time with your kids
Send me your money and I'll change your life
I know sometimes your life is a bitch
So come purchase my easy-fix
I've been there myself, sad, fat and bald
Soon with my help you'll have it all

All of your innocence found
You'll even lose a few pounds
See yourself making a mint
Quality time with your kids
Send me your money and I'll change your life
So many years ago I was so low and lonely and depressed, I hadn't left
my flat in weeks and never even bothered getting dressed and I was
smoking weed and I was in a mess
And that's when it happened
So I opened up the blind to let the light on my sorry life, I dreamed
about success, the money, Moses(?), women, cars and even wives and they
would always tend to my every need
So do you see what you can be
Baby, when you’re with me
In just 7 short days, you'll change your life
All of your innocence found
You'll even lose a few pounds
See yourself making a mint
Quality time with your kids
Send me your money and I'll change your life
12. Jamie Cullum – Our Day Will Come
Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring.
No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know
Cause I love you so
And you love me, love me.
Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
No tears for us
Think love and wear a smile.
And our dreams are meant to be
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come.
(Piano Solo)
Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
And no tears for us
Think love and wear a smile.
And our dreams are meant to be
Because we'll always stay
In love this way.
Our day, our day, oh daaaaay, will come.
13. Jamie Cullum – Back to The Ground
Lately, i've let myself go
I've been screening the calls
From my friends to my foes
Although i've been weak
Far for so very long
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
Back to the ground
Sultry siren messed with my song
I'm gonna send her back
To where she belongs
I keep my enemies
Much, much, much too close
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
I gotta get myself
Back to the ground
When you're attracted to the danger
And tasting every flavour
Then bring it on and bleed yourself dry
Reality is twisted
Your mind's getting shoplifted
Is there underneath an innocent guy?
So clearly, i've let myself go
So does admission take my sins to a new low?
And when you're way down there
You'll find all those old friends you used to know
And they're gonna help ya
Get yourself back to the ground
14. Jamie Cullum – My Yard
so hail a taxi cab and come around here
and i will meet you right outside.
i got some DVDs and a couple of beers,
if you want to,
we can stay up all night.
it's nothing fancy, just a little couch and me
and conversation for your mind.
so let's explore all the possibilities
of the things that we both talked about last time.
chorus:
take a trip to my yard
don't you know the grass is greener on the other side?
take a trip to my yard
don't you know the love that you've been dreaming of is mine?
i'll be your neighbour at the other end of town
and the benefits you soon will find.
so let's enjoy the fact that we're on our own
and we will answer to nobody else this time.
tonight might be nothing but the moon and me
any time that we take the script and flip it baby
take a trip to my yard
chorus:
take a trip to my yard
don't you know the grass is greener on the otherside?
take a trip to my yard
don't you know the love that you've been dreaming of is mine?
