I wanna let you go but my hands won't loosen their grips
If I see you falling, I can reach out with my fingertips
I wanna let you go, but I can't let you pack your case
I can't let you leave me, delete me from your database
I know I should move on now
Just imagine you've gone now
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
I wanna let you go, but I can't let you walk out the door
I guess I can't take that I won't see you for ever more
I wanna let you go, but I know I am hopelessly yours
I know you'll never ask me why, 'cause I know you know you are the cause
I know I should move on now
Just imagine you've gone now
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Pack your case
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Walk out the door
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Hopelessly yours
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
You know you are the cause
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
I can't take this any more
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Hopelessly yours, hopelessly yours
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
You're the one that's letting go
I wanna let you go, I wanna, wanna let you go
Losing my grip, so pack your things

He's a go-go boy (go-go boy)
He doesn't want your love
He's a party boy (go-go boy)
He never has enough
Tight skin, beautiful smile
He's the reason you've been here for a while
He's got the body, he's got the moves
He knows how to get you in the mood
And when that song comes on
You're the only one in the room
A flash of eye-contact
Lap it up, feed and consume
He's a go-go boy (go-go boy)
He doesn't want your love
He's a party boy (go-go boy)
He never has enough
And so, the story goes on
You wouldn't recognise him with his clothes on
And then your dream came true
When he smiled straight at you
And then that song came on
You were the only one in the room
A flash of eye-contact
Lap it up, feed and consume
He's a go-go boy (go-go boy)
He doesn't want your love
He's a party boy (go-go boy)
He never has enough
He's a go-go boy (go-go boy)
He doesn't want your love
He's a party boy (go-go boy)
He never has enough

Idiots and the rich
Have smiles on their faces
Ignorance is bliss
When you decline the races
Happiness comes from not knowing why
Ceasing to care until you die
All of your days filled with peace
All of your nights filled with sleep
Idiots and the rich
Have smiles on their faces
Ignorance is bliss
When you decline the races
Life is a bitch
When it puts you through your paces
Idiots and the rich
Have smiles on their faces
Pity or envy? Jealous or free?
Whatever it is, you get to me
I hate that you seem so smug
Out of your tree on this drug
Idiots and the rich
Have smiles on their faces
Ignorance is bliss
When you decline the races
Life is a bitch
When it puts you through your paces
Idiots and the rich
Have smiles on their faces
'cause life's a bitch
Unless you're rich
And life's a pain
When you use your brain
'cause life's a bitch
Unless you're rich
And life's a pain
When you use your brain
Idiots and the rich
Have smiles on their faces
Ignorance is bliss
When you decline the races
Life is a bitch
When it puts you through your paces
Idiots and the rich
Have smiles on their faces
'cause life's a bitch
Unless you're rich
And life's a pain
When you use your brain
'cause life's a bitch
Unless you're rich
And life's a pain
When you use your brain

A train goes past the station
There are leaves upon the line
Commuters stifle sniffles
With a plastic cup of wine
Waiting at a level crossing
Stands a silver four-wheel-drive
Time to pick the kids up
Who knows when they will arrive
Down the lane a little cyclist
With a little flashing light
Slips past a little church
Its little windows shining bright
Around the back a graveyard
With some ageing wooden benches
Empty beer cans litter graves
Of those who died in trenches
We're all living on this island
We're all getting by
Empire lost, we count the cost but
Stiff upper lips don't cry
On the fields of Battle
There's a kid flying a kite
His parents pecking fingerfoods
Discussing who is right:
He says they should move
But she wants to stay put
He's increasingly insistent
But she's putting down her foot
Across the road a pub is open
Parasols out front
People drinking continental lager
Talking with a grunt
The cat jumps up on to the bar
A glass falls with a smash
“That's coming from your wages”
Says the landlord waving cash
We're all living on this island
We're all getting by
Empire lost, we count the cost but
Stiff upper lips don't cry
Streets away, a tiny woman
Pulls a basket on its wheel
Inside the Yorkshire terrier
Looks forward to its meals
She stops into a corner shop
Picks up a box of tea
She strolls back home and watches
Something on the BBC
Next door a baby's crying
'cause she wants to have her feed
Her mum lets out a big sigh
'cause she's settled down to read
Up and down the country
On the doorsteps and the drives
All the British people
Going about their British lives
We're all living on this island
We're all getting by
Empire lost, we count the cost but
Stiff upper lips don't cry
We're all living on this island
We're all getting by
Empire lost, we count the cost but
Stiff upper lips don't cry

You (Redux 2 version)
04:16

Breathe in, breathe out, make no noise
I've heard you talking in your sleep
You're hanging out with those boys
The ones that think that I'm a creep
But they don't know me like you do
There are things I never show
But you're my confidante, it's true
And only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
I keep my cards close to my chest
It's how I feel secure
I think we both want what's best
But I've got to be sure
It's more than merely trusting you
So much deeper we can go
Understanding all the blood we drew
And only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
It's our conspiracy of two
They just don't understand
When they see me with you
Your hand in my hand
But they don't know me like you do
There are things I never show
Losing all the blood we drew
And only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know now
Only you know
Only you know now
Only you know

No one knows where the journey begins
Everyone struggles to try to fit in
Another day with the end nowhere near
The road’s pretty long from here
Do you remember where the journey began?
We started rolling like a cameraman
Cutting a path through the haze of the heat
We’ve got our favourite song on repeat
We’re on a journey
Nothing’s stopping us learning
Keep up with the world
As it’s turning
Time is on fire and we’re burning
No one knows where the journey begins
Everyone struggles to try to fit in
Another day with the end nowhere near
The road’s pretty long from here
Do you remember where the journey began?
We started rolling like a cameraman
Cutting a path through the haze of the heat
We’ve got our favourite song on repeat
We’re on a journey
Nothing’s stopping us learning
Keep up with the world
As it’s turning
Time is on fire and we’re burning

Let's face it, the party's over
All that's left is mess and being sober
We've nowhere left to go
And nothing left to say
Let's face it, it's never worth it
Cold, alone, outside; it's so imperfect
You can struggle all you want
It's pointless anyway
Get up, pack up, goodbye
The party's over
It's time to say goodbye
The party's over
You can feel it in your heart
It's time for us to part
The party's over
Let's face it, the party's over
All that's left is mess and being sober
We've nowhere left to go
And nothing left to say
Let's face it, it's never worth it
Cold, alone, outside; it's so imperfect
You can struggle all you want
It's pointless anyway
Get up, pack up, goodbye
The party's over
It's time to say goodbye
The party's over
You can feel it in your heart
It's time for us to part
The party's over

Maybe I'll never know
Whether I'm wrong or right
Maybe it'll become clear
At midnight
I'm nothing but a grain of sand
Seeing myself in the light
But maybe everything will change
At midnight
I've taken the steps
And made preparation
It'll take me away
From eternal damnation
I'm sure not to falter
While the moon's in the sky
I've got my reasons
But I still wonder why
Maybe I'll never know
Whether I'm wrong or right
Maybe it'll become clear
At midnight
I'm nothing but a grain of sand
Seeing myself in the light
But maybe everything will change
At midnight
I've found my way through
The darkest of night
Avoided the drunks
The scuffles and fights
I'll find my way home
Before it gets light
But everything's different
At midnight
Maybe I'll never know
Whether I'm wrong or right
Maybe it'll become clear
At midnight
I'm nothing but a grain of sand
Seeing myself in the light
But maybe everything will change
At midnight
Everything seems different at midnight
Everything seems different at midnight

All the noise
All the crying
All the shouting
All this lying
We won't give in
We won't let up
If we didn't love each other
We'd just give up
We'd just give up
But we carry on
At each other's throats
All the while we carry on this dance
We've got a fighting chance
We got a fighting chance
All the fire
All the pain
All the bruises
All this shame
We won't give in
We won't let up
If we didn't love each other
We'd just give up
We'd just give up
But we carry on
At each other's throats
All the while we carry on this dance
We've got a fighting chance
We got a fighting chance

Battered and bruised tonight
Blood dripping down my shirt
And refuse to fight
So I'm the one who gets most hurt
One big apology
Nobody takes my side
Social pathology
All the things I can't abide
These situations often get confused
So, how come I'm the only one who gets battered and bruised?
Battered and bruised again
Why is it always me?
I sorely need a friend
But not one that's with me through pity
If you want my advice
Don't let them in too close
Be safe, try to think twice
Deepest betrayal hurts the most
These situations often get confused
So, how come I'm the only one who gets battered and bruised?
With time I'll get used to getting used
Reach out and touch the lies or get it all refused
These situations often get confused
So, how come I'm the only one who gets battered and bruised?
With time I'll get used to getting used
Reach out and touch the lies or get it all refused

You come back home
So late at night
I hear your thoughts
Filled with sad delight
It will take years
For me to find the proof
But until then you're
Hinting at the truth
When dawn breaks
I get up to see
Living in your lies
Is living comfortably
Searching for clues
Will drain away my youth
So I ignore you
Hinting at the truth
With your secret life
You can do what you want to do
Just bring me home some love
And I'll keep loving you
With your secret life
You can do what you want to do
Just bring me home some love
And I'll keep loving you

I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
