Ten Feet High

Andrea Corr Ten Feet High Lyrics
1.Hello Boys

Hello boys I know you're watching me,
I think that I like it.
I'm so tired that I can barely see,
Come find where my light is.

Now I don't want conversation,
It gets in the way.
Just use your intuition,
I'm here to play.

Hello boy, what's your name?
Hello boy, what's your name?

See me walking down the avenue,
I look like a waitress.
But I don't serve anything you've ever tasted,
I'm a plate.
Now I don't need smooth seduction.
I don't need a date.
I would take your complication,
I'll make you okay.

Hello boy, what's your name?
Hello boy, what's your name?

What do you really want?
What do you dream about?
Are you ready for?
Why do you do that?
What are you living for?
What do you dream about?
Are you ready for?



Hello boy, what's your name?
Hello boy, what's your name?





2.Anybody There

I get up late
Make my way
Down the stairs
Move into the kitchen
I drink tea
Read the mail
Feel the cold
Find myself a sweater

Could there be
Anybody there
Anybody there to love me
Now you're gone
Get anybody there
Anybody there to hold me

I don't look up
I hear your voice
With a smile
Tell me I'm an wasted
Your giving up
You won't move on
And what is life
If there's no one there to share with

You say there'd be
Anybody there
Anybody there to love me
And now you're gone
Let anybody there
Anybody there to hold me


Too late at night
To go to bed
So tired and numb
I won't even miss you
Won't think of times
I fell asleep
And never dreamed of no more night to kiss you
Could there be
Anybody there
Anybody there to love me
And now you're gone
Give anybody there
Anybody there to hold me

Could there be
Anybody there
Anybody there to love me
And now you're gone
Could anybody there
Anybody there to hold me


Andrea Corr-Anybody there


3.Shame On You (Radio Edit)

You left me thinking what a bore
I'm always stuck inside
I've got a feeling there is more
Than I've been left behind
A lot of pain a lot of noise
That these four walls hide
Happy faces go to war
And dance upon the mines

Come, come join, come join, come join us
You're barely young, come join us
Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you to keep my love from me

You planted me in foreign ground
A pen within a hand
At least I am not on my own
In hell I have a friend
And though I find the sin of shame
It isn't my crusade
Pretty faces in a war
Asleep in open graves

Come, come join, come join, come join us
You're barely young, come join us
You'll be a man, come join, come join us
You're big and strong, come join us

Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you to keep my love from me
Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you to keep my love from me

Close your eyes to see it
Unlock your heart to feel it
Changed his name to a number
But he's somebody's child

Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you to keep my love from me
Shame on you (close your eyes to see it)
Shame on you (unlock your heart to feel it)
Shame on you (changed his name to a number)
But he's somebody's child

Shame on you (close your eyes to see it)
Shame on you (unlock your heart to feel it)
Shame on you (changed his name to a number)
To keep my love from me

Andrea Corr-Shame on you(Radio edit)


4.I Do

I want an open chariot,
Black horses and shiny shoes
An off-white vintage lacey gown,
I've Juliette's hand-me-downs
But Romeo ain't my lover
And all that really matters is

Hey, I love you
Hey, I love you, love you
I do

I wanna dream my Mother's smile,
Rains confetti from the sky
And Dad's got a brand new poem to try
He's sailing a lullaby
And happily ever after
Is where I'm gonna live, cause

Hey, I love you
Hey, I love you, love you
I do
I do
I do
I do

Hey, I love you
Hey, I love you, I love you
I do
Andrea Corr-I do


5.Ten Feet High

You ask me all kinds of questions
Like I, I've got something to hide
And I don't know why this all began
You used to love me for freedom
Said you'd climb aboard and fly
Now we're on the ground, and I'm locked in.

I don't wanna lie
Sayin' it's alright
Starin' at the walls round our lives
And are ten feet high
No, I'm not dumb
You don't need to smile
When you hurt inside
I can see the doubt in your eyes
And the fun we had is done

But I won't sit and watch you
Go cold when summer has left the room
This curtain is closing
I'm not stayin' to see the end...

We said we'd never become this
And tell each other how to live
Now I know your high times aren't with me
We keep finding more ways
To escape you and me
Pretend you're asleep when you're lying awake

I'm not gonna lie
Say it's alright
Starin' at the walls round our lives
We were ten feet high
No, I'm not dumb
You don't need to smile when you hurt inside
I can see the doubt in your eyes
And the sun we had is down

But I don't want to say it's over when I still love you
Don't say it's over when I still love you

I won't let it go cold
When summer has left the room
This curtain is closing,
I'm not stayin' to see the end

I won't watch it grow old
When summer has left the room
This curtain is closing,
I'm not stayin' to see the end

Watch it go old
Summer has left the room
This curtain is closing
I'm not staying to be the end

Say it's over and I still love you
Say it's over and I still love you

Andrea Corr-Ten feet high


6.Champagne From A Straw

Midday in the underground
There's a teenage girl
Selling music for her bed
I'll be the one that you look upon
Thank your lucky stars
That you walk in your own shoes
Clip clop past a sleeping bag
And a woolly hat
Lying open on the ground
Give money and sympathy,
Hold your little girl
Like you won't see her again

Does anyone know all
The places you go
On a day like today
I drink champagne from a straw
And I get my own way,
He loves me above them all
And there's no such thing as poor little rich girls
On a day like today
I've got my all-over-tan
And my tummy tuck,
My two babies, boy and girl
Big house in the country
With expensive bags
For my scary little dog
My man sleeps around a bit,
Keeps him from my bed,
One less job for me to do
I'm the one you look up to
And wish on every star
For one day in my high shoes

Can anyone hear mmmmm....
It's hollow in here
On a day like today
I drink champagne from a straw
And I get my own way,
He chose me above them all
And there's no such thing as poor little rich girls
In a day like today
A day like today
A day like today
A day like today
Oh,
Can anyone hear mmmmm....
It's hollow in here
On a day like today
I drink champagne from a straw
And I get my own way,
He chose me above them all
And there's no such thing as poor little rich girls
In a day like today
On a day like today
I drink champagne from a straw
And I get my own way,
He loves me above them all
And there's no such thing as poor little rich girls
On a day like today
Andrea Corr-Champagne from a straw


7.24 Hours

I see your eyes remember,
You know this song
And I try to see your picture
But that's your song with somebody else
You know I love inside your head
Cos I can't be there
You are mystery,
Intrigue and regret
And your eyes
Grow all big and sad
I'd stay awake all night for 24 hours of your love
I'd lead a simple life for 24 hours of your love
I'm not the only one that loves you
Hey, everyone does
You've got a map of your past
Engraved on your face
But your strange heart
Is the heart of a boy
You know I love inside your bed
And I wanna be there
You're not comfortable,
You're volatile
But you sleep like
You've answered a prayer
I'd stay awake all night for 24 hours of your love
(24 hours of your love)
I'd promise black was white for 24 hours of your love
(24 hours of your love)
I'd believe wrong was right for 24 hours of your love
(24 hours of your love)
I'd lead a simple life for 24 hours of your love

(24 hours of your love)

I'd stay awake all night for 24 hours of your love
(24 hours of your love)
I'd promise black was white for 24 hours of your love
(24 hours of your love)
I'd believe wrong was right for 24 hours of your love
(24 hours of your love)
I'd lead a simple life for 24 hours of your love
(24 hours of your love)
(24 hours of your love)

(24 hours of your love)
Andrea Corr-24 hours


8.This Is What It's All About

Is it any wonder I'm
Higher than an angel, our
Bodies they are touching and
You've not yet woken. Your
Breath is like a feather
Caressing my neck
Your hands, they are whispers,
Can't wait till they've spoken

Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

I'm
Moving through the city with
My love blanket
My armour of memories
When moonlight met sunrise
I look at other people,
Do they wear it too?
He's given me a secret
I don't want to keep

Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

Is it any wonder we
Keep still and quiet?
Pretending we've not woken
When moonlight meets sunrise
And linger in a half-sleep,
Warm orange love light
Spilling through the curtains
On you by my side

Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

It's about you and me and love
You and me and love

It's about you and me and love
You and me and love

Andrea Corr-This is what it's all about


9.Take Me I'm Yours

I've come across the desert to greet you with a smile
My camel looks so tired, it's hardly worth my while
To tell you of my travels across the golden east
I see your preparations
Invite me first to feast

Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be a heaven in your kiss

Amusing belly dancers distract me from my wine
Across Tibetan mountains are memories of mine
I've stood some ghostly moments with natives in the hills
Recorded here on paper
My chills and thrills and spills

Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be a heaven in your kiss


It's really been some welcome, you never seem to change
A grape to tempt your leisure, romantic gestures strange
My eagle flies tomorrow, it's a game I treasure dear
To seek the helpless future
My love, at last, I'm here

Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be a heaven in your kiss

Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be a heaven in your kiss


Andrea Corr-Take me i'm yours


10.Stupidest Girl In The World

My life
Just when it's going well I smash it all in pieces
I'm like
A magnet to the ground, to everything that's creeping


What am I doing back here?
I thought I'd finished with you
But I'm starting again
What am I gonna do now?
Who do you really love now?
Getting broken again

Your life
And your covenant to lie that promise you'll be keeping, I'm
sure
I know
Your every gritty move, it wakes me when I'm sleeping

What am I doing back here?
I thought I'd finished with you
But I'm starting again
What am I gonna do now?
Who do you really love now?
Getting broken again


These situations are my own creation,
A dark fascination, I want to be small again
I lose concentration, you sense my vacation,
A prime invitation, you're getting control again

What am I doing back here?
I thought I'd finished with you
But I'm starting again
What am I gonna do now?
Who do you really love now?
Getting broken again


Andrea Corr-Stupidest girl in the world


11.Ideal World

Jeanie marries when she's 21,
She has a baby one year on
And every year that's the way that life goes
Lost herself in domesticity
A cleaning, feeding entity
She can't recall what she was before

In an ideal world kids would keep their rooms tidy
In an ideal world he'd be home from his work on time
And in the morning I could lie in

Johnny signs his share of autographs
For all the people he makes laugh
And he walks home to an empty flat
Does his best to fight the silence
Late night TV vicodens
He can't forget what he had before

In an ideal world she would still think I'm funny
In an ideal world she'd be waiting in bed for me
And in the morning we could lie in
In an ideal world


Molly's sitting in a waiting room
The top doctor will see her soon
In the body nature gave her
Worried if she'll ever wake up
Wondering if she's better off
Why can't she be what she was before?

In an ideal world he would still think I'm pretty
In an ideal world he would only want bed with me
And in the morning we could lie in
In an ideal world you would make a decision
In an ideal world you'd be making a home for me
And in the morning we could lie in
Sunday mornings we could lie in


Jeanie marries when she's 21,


12.Shame On You(To Keep My Love From Me)

You left me thinking what a bore
I'm always stuck inside
I've got a feeling there is more
Than I've been left behind
A lot of pain a lot of noise
That these four walls hide
Happy faces go to war
And dance upon the mines

Come, come join, come join, come join us
You're barely young, come join us
Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you to keep my love from me

You planted me in foreign ground
A pen within a hand
At least I am not on my own
In hell I have a friend
And though I find the sin of shame
It isn't my crusade
Pretty faces in a war
Asleep in open graves

Come, come join, come join, come join us
You're barely young, come join us
You'll be a man, come join, come join us
You're big and strong, come join us

Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you to keep my love from me
Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you to keep my love from me

Close your eyes to see it
Unlock your heart to feel it
Changed his name to a number
But he's somebody's child

Shame on you, shame on you
Shame on you to keep my love from me
Shame on you (close your eyes to see it)
Shame on you (unlock your heart to feel it)
Shame on you (changed his name to a number)
But he's somebody's child

Shame on you (close your eyes to see it)
Shame on you (unlock your heart to feel it)
Shame on you (changed his name to a number)
To keep my love from me

Andrea Corr-Shame on you(Radio edit)
