Drastic Fantastic

KT Tunstall Drastic Fantastic Lyrics
1.Little Favours

I slip softly through


Your slim fingers


Leaving traces


I embrace this


Feeling that lingers


Oh that lingers, that lingers


So take me far away


And hold me close to your heart


And do me just this little favour


For I do, yes I do love you


This silence sits easy


So peacefully


Like the skin


Oh like the skin


Upon your body


Oh on your body, your body


So take me far away now


And hold me close to your heart


And do me just this little favour


For I do, yes I do love you


Yes I do love you


This little universe between our backs


So beautiful and colourful I lean on that


2.If Only

Walking around in a daze


after days now its been


Talking it up is amazing


and amazed that I'm in


Looking at the stars


for the answers


but all that you found


Was silence and dirty ground


If only you could see me now


If only you could hear me out


If only it was only me now


Listen just a little bit harder


for I always tell the truth


it isn't just a piston


in an engine


that keeps you moving


Looking like you're looking for


something and now


You're surrounded by silence


If only you could see me now


If only you could hear me out


If only it was only me now


You're surrounded by silence


silence silence


you're surrounded by silence


silence silence


You're surrounded by silence


silence silence


oh You're surrounded by silence


silence silence


If only you could see me now


If only you could hear me out


If only it was only me now


yeah If only you could see me now


If only you could hear me out


If only it was only me now


If only it was only me now


3.White Bird

White bird with a black tail,


Eyes Dark and face so pale,


You know what your future holds


over your side of the road


White bird with a black tail,


You look like an open sail,


Made me look up from my shoes.


To show me what you stand to lose


White Bird, White Bird,


With your face so pale


White Bird White bird


Where'd you get that tail


White Bird White bird


With a black tail


White feathers dipped in tar,


It's hard to tell how old you are,


Wonderin' how much you know,


About all of us below


Half of you is heavenly,


Showin off your purity


The rest of you is from the stream,


Like a land where they both meet


White Bird, White Bird,


With your face so pale


White Bird White bird


Where'd you get that tail


White Bird White bird


With your face so pale,


White Bird White Bird


With a black tail...


4.Funnyman

Locked inside your head


Do you realize the things


you said never made sense?


We can sit here and laugh


But we don't know the half of it,


in your defense


We've been talking a while


And it seems to me each time you smile,


Lights are coming on


But they don't burn too strong


And they won't stay for long


And then they're gone again


Chorus:


Funnyman, gotta plan


for the something wonderful


Funnyman, listening to


the world turning on itself


Tuning into a brand new universe


Funnyman,


you'll never be anything else


Do you remember the night


When I had to play your angel,


saving your soul?


Even though you were holding on tight


Part of you was taken


by your demons below


And with no more to lose


You said you feel like a bruise


on a beautiful body


And all the damage you do


It is so honest and true...


I don't want to feel sorry for you


Funnyman, gotta plan


for the something wonderful


Funnyman, listening to


the world turning on itself


Tuning into a brand new universe


Funnyman,


you'll never be anything else


5.Hold On

Say you to me


You're a bird with an eye


for the enemy shining


Searching the land


for a hero of a man


You say I need


More than my fair share of attention


But I think you know


That just isn't so


Oh underneath


I felt the fire of a burning question


Tearing me apart,


Right from the very start.


And now I see,


That it dont take a trick


Of the light to excite me.


So Strong


So Long


You'll see


Hold on to what


you've been given lately.


Hold on to what


you know you've got.


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on 'cause the world will


turn if you're ready or not.


Simplicity,


A heart of gold,


an old head and young shoulders


Quiet and lovely,


Becoming part of me.


And now I see


from a handful of names


and a thousand faces.


One light burning


Fiercely


I was tired of January


Tired of June


I felt a change coming


oh oh


I was tired of January


I was tired of June


I felt a change coming


oh oh


I felt a change coming,


sooon


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on to what you


know you've got.


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on 'cause the world will


turn if you're ready or not.


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on to what you


know you've got.


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on 'cause the world will turn


if you're ready or not.


Well the world will turn


if you're ready or not


Whoa-oh, Yes the world will turn


if you're ready or not.


6.Hopeless

Hopeless


Everybody says it's just another decay


Of the soul But I know


I'm hopeless


Follower of anything to take me away,


From this hole in the ground


I'm hopeless


Clinging to this feeling


like a fish on a line


It's sublime to find it lately


Hopeless


No more saying that


there's no more time


I was trying far to hard


To be what I felt I should be


I was playing wild cards


Seeing things that weren't in front of me


Like a little tiger play fighting


I was hurting myself


Again, and again


Because I'm hopeless


Everybody says it's just another decay


Of the soul But I know


I'm hopeless


Follower of anything to take me away,


From this hole in the ground


I'm hopeless


Clinging to this feeling


like a fish on a line


It's sublime to find it lately


Hooopeless


No more saying that


there's no more time


That there's no more time


Well,


I'm just discovering


I'm living in a different body


Got a little insight into


Everything that's happening to me


Like a little spider,


I'm climbing the insurmountable


But I never hold myself accountable


No oooh


Because I'm hopeless


Everybody says I'm hopeless


But I got a bit of hopeless


In this


Oh and you could never bring me down


Even though I got solid ground


Oh because I love it so


And I think you should know


That I'm hopeless


Everybody says it's just another decay


Of the soul But I know


I'm hopeless


Follower of anything to take me away,


From this hole in the ground


I'm hopeless


Clinging to this feeling


like a fish on a line


It's sublime to find it lately


Hopeless , hopeless, hopeless


No more saying that


there's no more time


7.I Don't Want You Now

Show me what it is you've done,


Pull the covers off


in front of everyone


Sure you want to the saw seams


What you created for yourself


in spite of me,


You can try to tie me down,


You can try to string me up,


But you'd have no luck now,


Please don't ever let me down again,


It shouldn't be allowed


Please don't ever make me frown again,


You have shown me how


Please don't try to be my friend again,


Cuz I don't want you


I don't want you now


I don't want you now


So now you've learned to make your bed,


Far be it for me


to be the one to pay your head,


The truth is that


i could've pulled you up,


But you'd already advertised


that i'd slashed the tires


of your one man show


You can try to tie me down,


You can try to stitch me up,


But you'd have no luck now


Please don't ever let me down again,


It shouldn't be allowed


Please don't ever make me frown again,


You have shown me how


Please don't try to be my friend again,


Cuz I don't want you


I don't want you now


I don't want you now


I don't want you now


The truth is that


i could've pulled you up


You can try to tie me down,


You can try to stitch me up,


But you'd have no luck now,


Please don't ever let me down again,


It shouldn't be allowed


Please don't ever make me frown again,


You have shown me how


Please don't try to be my friend again,


Cuz I don't want you


I don't want you now


8.Saving My Face

See the look on my face,


From staying too long in one place


And everytime I try to leave


I find I keep on stalling


Feel like a big old stone


Standing by a strength of my own


But everytime the morning breaks


I know I'm closer to falling


I'm all out of luck


I'm all out of fatih


I would give everything


just for one taste


But everything's here


all out of place


Losing my memory


saving my face


I'm saving my face


I'm listening to what you say


Even though I look the other way


but you could never understand


the feeling of what I'm needing


I'm all out of luck


I'm all out of faith


I would give anything


just for a taste


but everythings's here


all out of place


Losing my memory and


saving my face


saving my face


ooh yeah yeah


Give it all to me


I will do the right thing


Baby I'll be everything I need


Leave it all to me


I will do the right thing


baby i'll be everything i need


give it all to me


i will do the right thing


I'm all out of luck


I'm all out of faith


I would give anything


just for a taste


but everythings's here


all out of place


losing my memory and


losing the best of me


I'm all out of luck


I'm all out of faith


I would give everything


just for a taste


but everything's here


all out of place


losing my memory


and saving my face


saving my face


9.Beauty Of Uncertainty

I need a mirror


In the eyes of a man


I need no protaction


From my bullet proof plan


And i've got a ticket


For all that I like


It may think that i'm gone good


But I know that i'm coming back


Sit it my table


Sip for my boat


Feel like unknown now


And I will do 'till I get old


You might not see me


Trust that I'll stay


But is no sense in traveling


If we've alredy benn that way


Night isn't matter


it didn't mean grasp


May I let the light hands on


Waste to see how long you left


But you know better


You stand your ground


And might just stand a little


She know you syicking around


The beauty of uncertainty


ooh..


10.Someday Soon

I think it's time to put myself away,


See I got a little silence,


Close the doors and sit a while


And walk a little


And as i put my words away


The flow slows


See this penny in the stream


Pickin it up is easy


Follow the shape of it


Jump in


Swallow it whole


Jump In


Even though I know my way around


Possibly there's something


that I've found,


Holdin on for fun on solid ground


Someday soon...


Gunna turn myself into the grass


And I'll grow


Gunna take this space above my head,


I'll never need a little,


Gunna wear my feather-head dress


Like an indian chief


Gunna stretch out both my arms,


I'm Gonna test the temperature


Follow the taste of it


Jump in


Swallow it whole


Jump In


Even though I know my way around


Possibly there's something


that I've found,


Holdin on for fun on solid ground


Oh oh oh


Even though I know my way around


Possibly there's something


that I've found,


Holdin on for fun on solid ground


Someday soon...


And I'll walk a little...


Someday soon..


11.Paper Aeroplane

This stone that I have swallowed


Isn't goin down so well


And this road that i have followed


Is leading me to hell


You said it didn't matter


That i think you're a liar


Is this one of your very talents


Stokes the very fire that burns you


Each time you try to live,


The world will turn below you


Pressure is building


and something has to give..


And when i build you a stable


You say it's incomplete


Cuz you need the whole cathedral,


To satisfy your needs,


You're like a paper aeroplane


That never seems to land,


Flying by through anything,


Straight into the hand


That chokes you


Each time you try to live,


The earth will turn below you


Pressure is building


and something has to give,


Something has to give...


12.Suddenly I See (Live)

Her face is a map of the world


Is a map of the world


You can see she's a beautiful girl


She's a beautiful girl


And everything around her


is a silver pool of light


The people who surround her


feel the benefit of it


It makes you calm


She holds you captivated in her palm


Suddenly I see


This is what I wanna be


Suddenly I see


Why the hell it means so much to me


I feel like walking the world


Like walking the world


You can hear she's a beautiful girl


She's a beautiful girl


She fills up every corner like


she's born in black and white


Makes you feel warmer


when you're trying to remember


What you heard


She likes to leave you


hanging on a wire


And she's taller than most


And she's looking at me


I can see her eyes looking


from a page in a magazine


Oh she makes me feel like


I could be a tower


A big strong tower


She got the power to be


The power to give


The power to see


Suddenly I see


Suddenly I see


13.Bad Day

Tell me how I can find
Something to compare
To this kiss so fine
I've been looking everywhere

What used to be wrong is right
Honey can you see
How your lightening
Coming down striking me
How your lightening
Coming down striking me

You're a good moon
You're good food
When it's a bad day, anyway

You're a la-li-lighthouse
On a dark night
Too tired to fight it anyway

Familiar to your sound
Like honey when you breathe
In and out
Oh you know you pacify me
And if I go tomorrow
I wanna thank you for today
For being together
Even on a bad day

Cos you're a good moon
You're good food
When it's a bad day, anyway

And you're a la-la-la-lighthouse
On a dark night
I'm too tired to fight it anyway


You're a good moon
You're good food
When it's a bad day, anyway

You're a la-li-lighthouse
On a dark night
Too tired to fight it anyway
