Hummingbird Lyrics

Just some of my favourite song lyrics.


Oh Land - White Nights
"There is no silence
I will keep following the sirens."



Caro Emerald - That Man
"My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man."



Ed Sheeran - The A Team
"And in a pipe she flies to the motherland
Or sells love to another man."



Adele - Set Fire to the Rain
"I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames"



Hellfire
"It's not my fault
If in God's plan
He made the Devil so much stronger than a man."



Take That - The Flood
"Where the thunder turns around they'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away."


Coldplay - The Scientist:
"Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be this hard. Oh, take me back to the start."


The Wanted - Glad you came:
"My universe
Will never be the same
I'm glad you came."



James Blunt - Love Love Love:
"'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe,
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me.
And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me.
It's a lie that sets you free."



Urszula - Wielki Odlot:
"Atlas nieba - to tylko mogę ci dać
Lek na lęk, lęk na sen, na wielki poranny strach"



Mike & The Mechanics - All the Light I Need:
"You take me by the hand
You say you understand...

I think it wouldn't be so bad
If only you believed I had some
Kind of plan...

You say that in the end
You'll always be my friend..."



Loudon Wainwright - Daughter:
[The whole song really, but mainly:]
"That's my daughter in the water
everything she owns I bought her
Everything she owns.
That's my daughter in the water,
everything she knows I taught her.
Everything she knows.

That's my daughter in the water
every time she fell I caught her.
Every time she fell.
That's my daughter in the water,
I lost every time I fought her.
Yea, I lost every time."



Bruno Mars - The Other Side:
"I really can't explain what I'm feeling inside,
If you knew what I was you'd run and hide
Many have tried to go into the night
Cross over the line and come back alive"



Elliott Smith - Waltz #2
"She appears composed, so she is, I suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead china doll"



Florence and the Machine - Only if for a Night
"And the only solution was to stand and fight,
And my body was loosing all the sattelites,
But you came over me like some holy life,
And I know the whole story,
You're the only light

Only if for a night."



Florence and the Machine - Shake it Out
"And I've been fool and I've been blind
I could never leave the past behind
I can see no way, i can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
All of these questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
Its always darkest before the dawn"



Florence and the Machine - Seven Devils
"Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done"



Coldplay - Paradise
"When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep"



Gaslight Anthem - Boomboxes and Dictionaries
"And if you're scared of the future tonight,
We'll just take it each hour one at a time.
...
Because the radio will still play loud,
Songs that we heard as our guards came down."



Alyssa Reid - Alone Again
"When you said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you

Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that"



Lana del Rey - Off to the Races
"Now I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is
Tight and I am falling down.
I can see your faces, shameless
Cipriani's basement
Love you, but I'm going down.

God I'm so crazy, baby
I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
I'm your little harlot, starlet
Queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
Sorry 'bout it"



Billy Talent - Surrender
"I'd play the game but I'm the referee.
...
I'd travel time and confess to her,
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger."



Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations
"I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?"





Florence and the Machine - Heartlines
"What a thing to do. Oh.
What a thing to choose.
But no, in some way, I'm there with you.
Up against the wall, on a Wednesday afternoon.
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand."




Marina and the Diamonds - Teen Idle
"Yeah, I wish I'd been, I wish I'd been, a teen, teen idle

Wish I'd been a prom queen, fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen, I'm burning up a bible
Feeling super! super! super! suicidal
The wasted years
The wasted youth
The pretty lies
The ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find, I've come alive."




Marina and the Diamonds - Starring Role
"It almost feels like a joke to play out the part
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart.
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role."




Placebo - Running up that Hill
NB: Screw Placebo, I'm so in love with Bo Bruce! She doesn't technically sing this bit though :(
"You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
There is thunder in our hearts, baby.
So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?


You, be running up that hill
You and me, be running up that hill
You and me won't be unhappy."
