The Road to Mandalay - Guy Chambers

Save me from drowning in the sea Beat me up on the beach What a lovely holiday There's nothing funny left to say This sombre song won't drain the sun But it won't shine until it's sung No water running in the stream The saddest place we've ever seen Everything I touched was golden Everything I loved got broken On the road to mandalay Every mistake I've ever made Has been rehashed and then replayed As I got lost along the way Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom There's nothing left for you to give The truth is all that you're left with Twenty paces then at dawn We will die and be reborn I like to sleep beneath the trees Have the universe at one with me Look down the barrel of a gun And feel the moon replace the sun Everything we've ever stolen Has been lost, returned or broken No more dragons left to slay Every mistake I've ever made Has been rehashed and then replayed As I got lost along the way Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom Save me from drowning in the sea Beat me up on the beach What a lovely holiday There's nothing funny left to say

You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh I realize It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it Of the darkness inside you Makes you feel so small But I see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful, Like a rainbow Show me your smile then, Don't be unhappy, can't remember when, I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show your, True colors True colors Are beautiful lke a rainbow If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear Just call me up Because you know I'll be there And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show your, True colors True colors Are beautiful lke a rainbow

I threw a coin and it fell Down the wishing well And it sunk to the ground like a cannon ball (ground like a cannon ball) And you think I'm out of touch I call you too much Now words they just sound like a waterfall (sound like a waterfall) I, I'm falling behind My watch doesn't wind So I'm keeping time with an hourglass (time with an hourglass) And you think I'm immature And you seem unsure Why we're spitting on cars from the overpass (cars from the overpass) If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you That I love you I, I told you with pride Where all the stars die Down on Hollywood boulevard (Hollywood boulevard) And you, you think it's absurd That I've never heard A single thing about Baudrillard (thing about Baudrillard) If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you That I love you I love you I tripped over my words I lost all my nerve When I asked you to ride in my motorcar (ride in my motorcar) You, you kissed me just once But only because We fell in love on a monkey bar (on a monkey bar) If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you That I love you I love you

Will you rise or will you fall? Will you walk or will you crawl? Will you dream in black and white When you're sleeping cold tonight? Will you bend or will you break? Will you give or will you take? Will no angel shine no light? And leave you sleeping cold tonight Way o Way, way o way, o way o why Way o Way, way o way, o way o why Will you stand or will you turn? Will you teach or will you learn? When your demons rise above You'll be sleeping cold my love Would you stay or would you leave? Would you fail or would you believe? Would you stand your ground and fight When I'm sleeping cold tonight? Would we know what's wrong or right If we're sleeping cold tonight? Way o Way, way o way, o way o why Way o Way, way o way, o way o why

I've given my words to you I'd do it again You know them by heart by now You have them within Oh, would you still offer your embrace If it's another place you'd find me in? If it's ours and ours to use How can we refuse a cease of fire? Between your heart and mine Well I'll surrender first tonight In your false withdrawal You'll have me rise, you'll have me fall I won't be worthy of this fight In your feigned retreat I'll follow blindly in defeat I've given my heart to you You know its ways Yes, in its chambers you have lived Though lately you have come to realize That for the bullets that you fire I'm the main supplier I'm the one The trigger for your gun Well I'll surrender first tonight In your false withdrawal You'll have me rise, you'll have me fall I won't be worthy of this fight In your feigned retreat I'll follow blindly in defeat My fear is dead I lost it in you I do hear you I do fear you I do need you
