L.A - Amy McDonald

Oh here’s a story about a boy named Jay
Nothing he did would ever get in my way
But there’s still a long long way to go

I’ve only ever seen his face on film
I’ve only ever heard the lines he’d say
But still they won’t get in my way

I’m always told to be the dreamers pal
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring you down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I’m happy to be by myself
I don’t need no one else

He’s never ever seen my face before
I’m trying hard cos this I can’t ignore
But there’s still a long long way to go

I’m always told to be the dreamers pal
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring you down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But im happy to be by myself
I don’t need no one else

All my dreams are built around your face
And this place
All the times of staring at the sun
You’re the one
All my dreams are built around your face
And this place
All the times of staring at the sun
You’re the one

I’m always told to be the dreamers pal
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring you down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I’m happy to be by myself
I don’t need no one else

I’m always told to be the dreamers pal
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring you down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But im happy to be by myself
I don’t need no one else

Mr. Rock And Roll - Amy McDonald

So called Mr Rock And Roll
Is dancing on his own again
Talking on his phone again
To someone who tells him that his balance is low
He's got no where to go
He's on his own again

Rock chick of the century
Is acting like she used to be
Dancing like there's no one there
Before she never seemed to care
Now she wouldn't dance
It's so rock and roll to be alone

And they'll meet one day
Far way
And say "Hey I wish I was something more"
And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say " Hey I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"

Mrs Black and White
She's never seen a shade of grey
Always something on her mind
Every single day
But now she's lost her way
And where does she go from here

Mr Multicultural
Sees all that one can see
He's living proof of someone
Very different to me
But now he wants to be free
Free so he can see

And they'll meet one day
Far way
And say "Hey I wish I was something more"
And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say "Hey I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"

He says "I wish I knew you, I wish I met you
When time was still on my side"
She'll say " I wish I knew you, I wish I loved you
Before I was his bride"

And so they must depart
Too many more a broken heart
But I've seen that all before
In TV, books and film and more
And there's a happy ending
Every single day

And they'll meet one day
Far way
And say "Hey I wish I was something more"
And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say "Hey I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"
