Something Sort of Grandish - Petula Clark

Baby, you've got the sort of hands to rip me apart And baby, you've got the sort of face to start this old heart But your eyes are warning me this early morning That my love's too big for you my love Baby, you've got the sort of laugh that waters me And makes me grow tall and strong and proud and flattens me I find you stunning but you are running me down My love's too big for you my love, my love's too big for you my love And if I was stronger then I would tell you no And if I was stronger then I would leave this show And if I was stronger then I would up and go But here I am and here we go again Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales That your sort of mouth just will not say, the truth impales You don't need me but you won't leave me My love's too big for you my love, oh, my love's too big for you my love And if I was stronger then I would tell you no And if I was stronger then I would leave this show And if I was stronger then I would up and go But here I am and here we go again Tell me what to do to take away the you? Take away the you, take away the you Take away the you And if I was stronger then I would tell you no And if I was stronger then I would leave this show And if I was stronger then I would up and go But here I am and here we go again

I see you running out from the garden Calling the kids, the floor is rotten Brittle-boned homes for adolescents I guess we do turn into our parents And all of the discord I thought I ran for Don't wanna feel more, don't wanna feel And it just gets harder, swear I feel further Just wanna feel you, just wanna If you're gone, who gets the toothbrush ready? If you're gone, I'll watch too much TV If you're gone, how do I go on living? If you're gone, how do I go on? Call it a cop out like hating a hometown Knock on your window with leash in my mouth I've been agent, I wanna be anchored You look right through me like some sort of stranger And all of the distance I thought I missed it Don't wanna feel it, don't wanna feel And it just gets harder, swear I feel smaller Just wanna feel you, just wanna If you're gone, who gets the toothbrush ready? If you're gone, I'll watch too much TV If you're gone, how do I go on living? If you're gone, how do I go on? I won't say your name again I'll hate words that resemble it I won't say your name again I'll hate words that resemble it I won't say your name again I won't say your name

Intet varer evigt gør det vel? Problemet er at slå sig selv ihjel Disse bjælker er for tynde til at bære Jeg tænker at i dag så lader jeg være Jeg vil dø som en sort tulipan Og springe ud fra den smukkeste altan I en film og i en rolle jeg kan bære Lev dit smukke liv eller lad være Men rollen blev besat til anden side Til hvem det får du aldrig helt at vide Det er dyrt at være fattig må du lære Som blomsten hos Rimbaud og Baudelaire Vil jeg dø som en sort tulipan Og springe ud fra den smukkeste altan I en film og i en rolle jeg kan bære Lev dit smukke liv eller lad være C'est un grand problem Oui, c'est vraimint sérieux Le suicide! Je sais, je m'en fous Intet varer evigt gør det vel? Nu er det lykkes mig at slå mig selv ihjel Jeg har svigtet alle drømme af værdi Lev dit stille liv or let it be Jeg skulle jo dø som sort tulipan Og springe ud fra en femtesals altan Jeg kunne have spillet hvilken rolle det skulle være Tag dit smukke liv eller lad være Nej jeg vil dø som en sort tulipan Og springe ud fra den smukkeste altan Jeg hilser hver en spurv og hver en stær En gade får mit navn på Frederiksberg Det er din film og din rolle må du bære Lev dit smukke liv eller lad være

Every day as heaven Moves further and further away Familiar blue eyes I once knew Turn a colder shade of grey Every day as heaven Moves further and further away Familiar words we used to share Seem so difficult to say And I am alone In a world of cold flesh Cold steel, cold stone I close up like a clam And shut the world out with the slam of the door To shut out all the fighting, all the hatred, all the war You just cannot stay calm When your soul screams less, but something always wants more What for? Every day as heaven Moves further and further away Familiar blue eyes I once knew Turn a colder shade of grey Every day as heaven Moves further and further away Familiar words we used to share Seem impossible to say Every day Every day Heaven moves further and further away Everyday Everyday Heaven is moving further and further away Every day Every day

The wood burns warm The house is still The music soothes And soon I will Look for in another What I'd found in you What we had in each other But you couldn't live through Old love burns My body aches And I'm taking time For as long as it takes As the sunset fades And the moonlight breaks I'll try and put right All my mistakes A throwaway world A throwaway life I'm glad I'm by myself tonight When all passion's spent In the one you love When there's no guiding hands From a god above When all that's left Is never enough But there was a time That I can't find Filled with light From a love inside Filled with love It was a world so wide And we'd run from one To the other side Filled with laughter And a love so bright Now I wait for something By hushed firelight Something that would tell me Everything's all right A throwaway world A throwaway life I'm glad I'm here by myself tonight Where the wood's all warm And the fire burns bright And I tell myself everything will be all right As the sunset fades And the moonlight breaks The world is a small warm room tonight
