KT Tunstall Tracks In July & Pot Pourri(EP) Lyrics
1.Paper Aeroplane (Original Ver.)

Well this stone that I have swallowed
Isn't going down so well
And this road that I have followed
Is leading me to Hell

And you said it didn't matter
But I think you're a liar
Is this one of your talents
That stokes the very fire
that burns you
Each time you try to live

And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give

Oh something has to give

And when I build you a steeple
You say it's incomplete
'Cause you need the whole cathedral
To satisfy the need

And you're like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand that chokes you
Each time you try to live

And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give

Oh something has to give

Well you're like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand

Well you're like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand
that chokes you
Each time you try to live

And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
The pressure is building
The fire that burns you
Each time you try to live

And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give

Something has to give ...

Give


2.Gone to the Dogs (Original Ver.)

Since you've been gone,
gone to the dogs
In a roundabout way

You're still sing,
singing along
I can see it in your face

Everywhere you go
It's there with you
Takes part of you
I'll never let you go
At it alone
But if you would
I know you could
Be so much more than this
And life could be bliss

But now you're gone,
gone to the dogs
I don't know you like I did

So why don't you say,
say it out loud
All these things you hold inside
Of yourself, holding on tight
As if you're frightened of the ride

Everywhere you go
I'm there with you
Still part of you
I'll never let you feel
At it alone
But if you do
I'll make sure you
Are standing on your feet
Coz life could be sweet

But now you're gone,
gone to the dogs
And I don't know you like I did

And then I hold you up
No, I never let you down
You know I do my best
If I ever held you up
And you never let me down
You let yourself down
Let me down

But now you're gone,
gone to the dogs
And I don't know you like I did


3.Trumpets

Well it's you I adore
And I want everyone to know
That I am yours
Let all the little flowers bloom once more
For I am truly a part of you
And you are a part of me

Up into the sky
Look as far as the eye can see
You're in my life
As something I am needing
Two people rising
My eyes on you
To do what you do with me

You and me

No other love
No no ...
Could it be like you and me


4.Little Favours (Original Ver.)

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


5.Lay Down Low

You are the up, my darling,
and I am the down
You wear the smile, my darling,
and I wear the frown
You are the winner
whereas I always lose
You walk all over me
because you wear the shoes
You say you're high and I am low
But you're a liar, now I know
You're just a stepping stone
that help me on my way
And you can lay down low

Lay down low ...

You are the right, you know,
and I am the wrong
I am the silence while you sing a song
You keep me for yourself
while I am alone
You suck the life from me
and I am just skin and bone
And now it's time for me to show
That there's an arrow in my bow

You think I'm lost in you
but I have found
That you can lay down low

Lay down low ...

Where skin lies on bones
With the bones so thin
I do so with, I do disguise the things
that lie within
Where skin lies on bones
The way the bones are thin
I do so with, I do disguise the things
that lie within
Where skin lies on bones
The way the bones are thin

I do so with, I do disguise the things
that lie within
Where skin lies on bones
The way the bones are thin
I do so with, I do disguise the things
that lie within
That you can lay down low
Lay down low ...


6.The Change

The wind is cold tonight
Or so I am told
I don't really know
And as I kill my life
There's nothing left to show
How does that blow hit you?
And if I change am I denying what was said?
If I remain the same
am I creating greater problems instead?

Do you ever think you're being thought about?
Do you still believe we need to sort things out?
Does it matter now
All those things we said
I want to know can I still creep
into your bed at night?
Leave your head alone

Well, the wind is cold tonight
Or so I am told
I don't really know, no
And as I kill my life
There's nothing left to show
How does that blow hit you?
And if I change am I denying what was said?
If I remain the same
am I creating greater problems instead?

Do you ever think you're being thought about?
Do you still believe we need to sort things out?
Does it matter now
All those things we said
I want to know can I still creep
into your bed at night?
Leave your head alone


7.Quiet

Now I'm standing on the edge
And the area's oh so clear
The view is so outstanding
And it's sounding in my ears

Come thundering

Now the weather's come and gone
I feel flippancy and fear
Wrapped my mind around you
So it feels like you're near
Under my skin

Well I sense a warmth
inside this darkness
Feel a hand upon my head
Realize that I am relatively special
So I'm quiet instead
Yes I'm quiet instead

Now I open up my ears
Rise up in my eyes
Open up my heart
so I can feel with my mind
Set the wheels in motion

Now I glide along the street
With the wind inside my sears
Flapping my wings and I'm wagging my tail
Like a boat on the ocean

Well I sense a warmth
inside this darkness
Feel a hand upon my head
Realize that I am relatively special
So I'm quiet instead
Yes I'm quiet instead

And I don't need to shout out
I don't need to cry out loud
Don't need to write it down
'Cause I can find a way to get away
And be the way and see the way I am now

I can see the way I am now

I don't need to cry out
I don't need to shout out loud
Don't need to write it down
'Cause I can find a way to get away
And be the way and see the way I am now

Well I sense a warmth
inside this darkness
Feel a hand upon my head
Realize that I am relatively special
So I'm quiet instead
Yes I'm quiet instead


8.Riptide

Well I'm feeling stupid,
thick and tired
Faking through and wrongly wired
Revolving slowly and slowly and slow

And every time I'm washed away
Come up for air in other ways
Revolving slowly and slowly and slow

Yes, I am

And I feel like I do now
'Cause I was talked to and brought to this
And I need like I do now
While I am

I'm caught inside this riptide

So save our souls
Don't hold me, let me go

I'm into you ...
Inside a riptide
into you ...

And I need like I do now
'Cause I was talked to and brought to this
And I feel like I do now
While I am

I'm caught inside this riptide

So save our souls
Don't hold me, let me go


9.Night Like Pepper

Don't come near me
I'm not the one to save your skin
But if the stars have brought you here
Then here you are

Lock me into something new
Something different from this
Cause I need bliss
in the solar system

I'm a lighthouse on the edge of the rocks
But my warning light is fading

I'm a lighthouse on the edge of the rocks
But my warning light is fading

Don't think you need to
carry me upon your back
I ask you what do you believe?
I remember looking upward
To a night like pepper ...

I'm a lighthouse on the edge of the rocks
But my warning light is fading
I'm a lighthouse on the edge of the rocks
But my warning light is fading


I remember looking upward
To a night like pepper ...

I ask you what do you believe?
I remember looking upward
To a night like pepper ...

Can you see me still?


10.Leather

You twist my time
And I don't want you to
Cause I was happy
at the volume I was at
Before you turn me up
And I'm oh so loud
That I'm deafening myself
Above the buzzing of the crowd

You are so cool
Then my temperature
must be a little bit chilly
Cause you melt me every time
And I look your way
And you send me rocketing high
Because you don't know notice my eyes

And I'm armoured with nothing
but the space between you and I
I'm enamoured by you
by you

Last night in slumber
I met you walking
upon some astroplane circumstance
And your breath upon my back
convinced me that
I would pay to play again

I would pay to play again

I would pay to play again

And I'm armoured with nothing
but the space between you and I
I'm enamoured by you
by you


And I'm armoured with nothing
but the space between you and I
I'm enamoured by you
by you


11.Telephone Bill

Well call this number now
Even though I'm feeling low myself
I'll try and help
Talk for as long as you can afford

Pay me with your idle chatter
I'll give you my usual patter
You may be mad as a hatter
Voices never tell

If I fill a space that so is hollow
Surely peak rate doesn't matter
Rule the world and marry Francis
I'm sorry that this call is tapped
So there's no trouble
After 10 the rates go double
But if you are on a roll
We'll carry on long distance kissing
I'll be the brunette that you are missing

Well if I could see your eyes
Maybe I could take you as sincere
But as it stands,
you're just a joke
for the girls in the bar
Please don't think your name is sticking
As you watch your units ticking
I know if I ask you to hold
Ask me if you carn

If I fill a space that so is hollow
Surely peak rate doesn't matter
Rule the world and marry Francis
I'm sorry that this call is tapped
So there's no trouble
After 10 the rates go double
But if you are on a roll
We'll carry on long distance kissing
I'll be the brunette that you are missing

Tell me what you want
and I'll be what you want

I'll be ...

I'll be the brunette that you are missing
the brunette that you


12.Fall

How many times? How many faces?
How many years? How many places?
And I know the faces that I have seen
Recognise the places where I have been
If I try

Do you have me in your memory?
Have I dented your soul?
Could you mould my face from cold clay?
In the darkness
Would you fall?

How many lies below my window
Run around my head and beneath my pillow

I know the faces inside my head
Haven't got a place to go instead
If you try

Do you have me in your memory?
Have I dented your soul?
Could you mould my face from cold clay?
In the darkness
Would you fall?


13.Quiet (Remix)

Now I'm standing on the edge
And the area's oh so clear
The view is so outstanding
And it's sounding in my ears

Come thundering

Now the weather's come and gone
I feel flippancy and fear
Wrapped my mind around you
So it feels like you're near
Under my skin

Well I sense a warmth
inside this darkness
Feel a hand upon my head
Realize that I am relatively special
So I'm quiet instead
Yes I'm quiet instead

Now I open up my ears
Rise up in my eyes
Open up my heart
so I can feel with my mind
Set the wheels in motion

Now I glide along the street
With the wind inside my seals
Flapping my wings
and I'm wagging my tail
Like a boat on the ocean

Well I sense a warmth
inside this darkness
Feel a hand upon my head
Realize that I am relatively special
So I'm quiet instead
Yes I'm quiet instead

And I don't need to shout out
I don't need to cry out loud
Don't need to write it down
'Cause I can find a way to get away
And be the way and see the way I am now

I can see the way I am now

And I don't need to shout out
I don't need to cry out loud
Don't need to write it down
'Cause I can find a way to get away
And be the way and see the way I am now

I can see the way I am now

Well I sense a warmth
inside this darkness
Feel a hand upon my head
Realize that I am relatively special
So I'm quiet instead
Yes I'm quiet instead


14.Parachute

Introverted and converted
Perverted and prefer it
If I was a little closer to perfection

So well treated and concieted
Defeated I believe it
If I had an easier connection

You could hold my hand
Let me fall
Catch me up
And way down
'Coz I'm nearly invisible
Becoming smaller
Big enough to land in your arms

Understated and sedated
Fool proof and armour plated
Never bend beneath the pressure
Lowered and double sided
Remember when it all collided
It was too big to measure

Here I am,
Parachute man
He said 'Here I am,
Parachute man'
Yes, as he said 'Here I am,
Parachute man'
Here I am,

You could hold my hand
Let me fall
Catch me up
And way down
'Coz I'm nearly invisible
Becoming smaller
Big enough to land in your arms
You could hold my hand
Let me fall
Catch me up
And way down
'Coz I'm nearly invisible
Becoming smaller
Big enough to land in your arms

You could hold my hand
Let me fall
Catch me up
And way down
'Coz I'm nearly invisible
Becoming smaller
Big enough to land in your arms
