Don't Let It Go To Waste

Matt Willis Don't Let It Go To Waste Lyrics
1.Up All Night

There's a picture in my wallet
I dare not speak her name
There's a letter with it on it
Washed out by the rain
And I wonder where I'm going
'Cause every day's the same
And it's summer in the suburbs
And I'm not sleeping
Tuning in on frequencies
That people leave without thinking
On mobile phones and radios
I'll get there in the morning
Keeping me up all night
Baby do you feel alright?
Keeping me up all night
I long for the morning light
Keeping me up all night
Baby do you feel alright?
Keeping me up all night...
It's five in the morning
I'm out of my head and that's not right
I've been walking out of myself
Random out of phase
I've been talking to a stranger
I haven't seen for days
I've been smashing up computers
'Cause I can't play their games
And I suffer from confusion
I can't remember
Names to all the faces
From the places I've been going lately
I've been searching, can't stop searching
It's gonna drive me crazy...
Keeping me up all night,
Baby do you feel alright?
Keeping me up all night,
I long for the morning light
Keeping me up all night,
Baby do you feel alright?
Keeping me up all night...
It's five in the morning
(I'm out of my head and that's not right)
(I can't get you out of my mind)

Keeping me up all night,
Baby do you feel alright?
Keeping me up all night,
I long for the morning light
Keeping me up all night,
Baby do you feel alright?
Keeping me up all night,
I long for the morning light
Keeping me up all night,
Baby do you feel alright?
Keeping me up all night...
It's five in the morning and nothing seems right
It's five in the morning
I can't get you out of my mind


2.Hey Kid

Lying here on my girl
Turn on the radio
Shame we had to bail
You know we put on quite a show
What am I going to do
Left on my answer phone
Tell them what I told you
Right know I just don't know
Hey kid
Don't you think you've got to try and be somebody
Yeah, it happens on it's own
Hey kid
you don't get along trying to be nobody else
That's god damned right you know
Every day will break
But another comes along
You won't have long to wait
And you've always got that song
It's funny when you're drunk
How everything is clear
Come check out my bunk
And get the rock right out of here
Hey kid
Don't you think you've got to try and be somebody
Yeah, it happens on it's own
Hey kid
you don't get along trying to be nobody else
That's god damned right you know
I'm feeling so much better in this frame of mind
Cos I've been sick thinking over all the difficult
times and I know (you know)
I'm a capable guy
I got so many things I wanted to do
and I got the chance to prove it to you
(hey) on my own (on my own)
'cause I waited my life and I am ready to blow
When I do some thing I gotta win
I'm ready to start it all over again
And I need some patience from you...
Hey kid
Don't you think you've got to try and be somebody
Yeah, it happens on it's own
Hey kid
you don't get along trying to be nobody else
That's god damned right you know
Hey kid
Don't you think you've got to try and be somebody
Yeah, it happens on it's own
Hey kid
you don't get along trying to be nobody else
That's god damned right you know


3.Ex Girlfriend

I'm not waiting for an answer
I've had enough of this
I've been channeling my anger
And I'm scared I'm going to miss
Your excuses are ten to the pound
Your perfume makes me sick
Took forever but I figured out
You're a f**king lunatic
When you're lonely, then you phone me
Have a bad time, all of the time
I slam the phone down, you're on your own now
Give it a rest, you're out of your mind
Goodbye ex girlfriend
And don't come back again
I can't pretend, I'm going to have to end it now
Get out you cow
Don't turn around, I need a holiday...
I never loved you anyway
My friends told me to be careful
Who I hang around
I'm not sorry or ungrateful,
not to put you down
Now you've stolen all of my CD's
But baby that's okay
'Cause I got them all on mp3's
And I didn't have to pay
When you're lonely, then you phone me
Have a bad time, all of the time
I slam the phone down, you're on your own now
Give it a rest, you're out of your mind
Goodbye ex girlfriend
And don't come back again
I can't pretend, I'm going to have to end it now
Get out you cow
Don't turn around, I need a holiday...
I never loved you anyway
Been patient with you, so listen when I say
Just face it we're through, time to walk away
I don't want to, I don't want to
Waste another day...

When you're lonely, then you phone me
Have a bad time, all of the time
I slam the phone down, you're on your own now
Give it a rest, you're out of your mind
Goodbye ex girlfriend
And don't come back again
I can't pretend, I'm going to have to end it now
Get out you cow
Don't turn around, I need a holiday...
I never loved you anyway
I never loved you anyway
I never loved you anyway


4.Get Out The Car

Drawing circles on the window
Then I'm staring at the floor
There are places that we could go
'Cause we've been here before
And I'm losing myself
And I'm feeling a little...
Confused, I need help
I'm outta here
Get out the car honey,
What you said was outta place
Well I guess I'm walking home
With that sad look upon my face
Straight from the heart no worries,
Got a lot of love to make
Can you feel it a little...?
Don't let it go to waste
Don't let it go to waste
We're like a long distance conversation
With a two second delay
Talk a lot but we don't listen
And we got so much to say
And I'm losing myself
And I'm feeling a little...
Confused, I need help
I'm outta here
Get out the car honey,
What you said was outta place
Well I guess I'm walking home
With that sad look upon my face
Straight from the heart no worries,
Got a lot of love to make
Can you feel it a little...?
Don't let it go to waste
Don't let it go to waste
And I don't want to miss you
Even though we got issues
Yeah I know we can get through
Live for it all, 'cause after the fall comes the high
Get out the car honey,
What you said was outta place
Well I guess I'm walking home
With that sad look upon my face
Straight from the heart no worries,
Got a lot of love to make
Can you feel it a little...?
Don't let it go to waste
Don't let it go to waste
Don't let it go to waste
If you feel it a little
Well don't let us go to waste


5.Sound Of America

There's something stirring in the neighbourhood
Ugly but it's looking good
East coast to the west
And they play my favourite song yeah
I lie awake all night on aeroplanes
I got static on my brain
Waiting for the day when I will be back with you
Here comes the sound of America
Here comes the sound of America
This is the sound of America
Look out kid I'm coming to get you
Here comes the sound of America
Here comes the sound of America
This is the sound of America
From an English who loves you

There's magic on your finger tips
Holy water on your lips
Heading for a heart attack and good vibrations
Feel it rocking on the radio
Getting deep inside your soul
Shooting down your back, panic stations
Here comes the sound of America
Here comes the sound of America
This is the sound of America
Look out kid I'm coming to get you
Here comes the sound of America
Here comes the sound of America
This is the sound of America
From an English who loves you
Does everybody know my name?
So everybody walk this way
Got to get this off my chest so hear
These words you won't forget
Got this house under arrest
I'll take you all the way...

Here comes the sound of America
Here comes the sound of America
This is the sound of America
Look out kid I'm coming to get you
Here comes the sound of America
Here comes the sound of America
This is the sound of America
From an English who loves you
Here comes the sound of America
Here comes the sound of America
This is the sound of America
From an English who loves you
From an English who loves you


6.Luxury

All I need is a luxury and she looks a lot like you
Smooth talking, keep walking,
no stopping, bar hopping
Don't need no excuse, I got my own issues
Complicated, frustrated,
but so damn scared to change this
Talk to me, every hour of everyday
they talk to me
I'm not going back again,
I'm not going back again...
All I need is a luxury and she looks a lot like you
Got a fever but I believe that
I'm gonna see this through
Want to share but I'm so damn scared
And it hurts when you can't even go nowhere
You're the one that keeps me going...
One more day, worth the wait,
you'll be driving me home

I'm angry, they tell me
Don't need their bullshit therapy
Got a social disease
Thanks a lot but I don't believe
Denying no faking, I'm trying they're mistaking
'Talk to me', all they ever seem to say is
'talk to me'
I'm not going back again,
I'm not going back again...
All I need is a luxury and she looks a lot like you
Got a fever but I believe that
I'm gonna see this through
Want to share but I'm so damn scared
And it hurts when you can't even go nowhere
You're the one that keeps me going...
One more day, worth the wait,
you'll be driving me home
You'll be driving me home,
you'll be driving me home
You'll be driving me home,
I'm not going back again,
I'm not going back again,
I'm not going back again,
I'm not going back again...
All I need is a luxury and she looks a lot like you
Got a fever but I believe that
I'm gonna see this through
Want to share but I'm so damn scared
And it hurts when you can't even go nowhere
You're the one that keeps me going
You're the one that keeps me going
You're the one that keeps me going...
One more day, worth the wait,
You'll be driving me home


7.From Myself Baby

I have a little trouble trying to be myself
I feel inadequate next to everybody else
I didn't figure out I was in bad health
Without you
I only feel alive when you're...
Something 'bout the love that is in your eyes
It captivates and runs straight through to my mind
Then I smile
Oh baby, I'm going crazy
Do you think you can save me, from myself baby

I only feel alive when you're...
Something 'bout the love that is in your eyes
It captivates and runs straight through to my mind
Then I smile
Oh baby, I'm going crazy
Do you think you can save me, from myself baby
from myself baby

Oh baby, I'm going crazy
Do you think you can save me, from myself baby
From myself baby
Do you think you can save me?
Do you think you can save me?
Do you think you can save me?
From myself...
From myself baby
From myself baby


8.Get Bored

Matt Willis - Who You Gonna Run To
I've taken all the locks from the door
And I've picked up all your clothes from the floor
I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs
And I'm gonna need a beat from the drums...
I was gonna make a difference today
I was gonna go and jump on a plane
But who you gonna run to?
Who you gonna run to?
I was gonna call you up on the phone
But the thought of watching tv alone
Yeah who you gonna run to?
'cause I just wanna let you know
Can't we pick up where we started?
Can't we be adults about it?
What you saying? What you take me for?
I kinda get the feeling we've been here before I know
Let's do something about it
cuase I just wanna let you know

Have you got enough for the cab?
'cause I gave you everything that I have
Yeah who you gonna run to?
Who you gonna run to?
Amazing what a difference a day makes
Don't you say we're gonna be mates
Yeah who you gonna run to?
'cause I'm the one who loves you
Can't we pick up where we started?
Can't we be adults about it?
What you saying? What you take me for?
I kinda get the feeling we've been here before I know
Let's do something about it
cuase I just wanna let you know

I've taken all the locks from the door
And I've picked up all your clothes from the floor
I've taken all the locks from the door
And I've picked up all your clothes from the floor
Can't we pick up where we started?
Can't we be adults about it?
What you saying? What you take me for?
I kinda get the feeling we've been here before I know
Let's do something about it
cuase I just wanna let you know


9.Falling Into You

Matt Willis - Falling Into You/Me And Your Mother


I don't want to fight, don't want to be afraid


I'm falling straight into you


Are everything that I need right now


I have fallen for you


Turn off the lights 'cause you're killing me


Can't take the eyes that you're giving me


We've hurt each other before


Can't take the pain anymore


Turn out the lights 'cause I don't wanna hide


I gotta know you are by my side


Don't wanna lose you now


When we're so good together...


(Turn out the lights


Can't take those eyes right now


I have fallen for you, turn out the lights


I need to know right now


If you have fallen for me)


'Cause this time it's for real


'Cause this time it's for real...


Falling into you, I'm falling into pieces


Just got to tell you but


I'm scared you won't believe it


And one day I'll wake up to find that we broke up


I don't want that for you, I don't want that for me


I just want to stay here


I feel that it's time to say those three words to you


Words are all that I have


Don't walk away, don't want to feel no pain


That's okay I got you...


(Don't walk away girl I'm begging you


You gotta hear what I'm telling you


Don't want to feel your pain


'Cause I believe in you...


And I hope you feel it too)


Falling into you, I'm falling into pieces


Just got to tell you but


I'm scared you won't believe it


And one day I'll wake up to find that we broke up


I don't want that for you, I don't want that for me


I just want to stay here


10.Smashing Kelly

Matt Willis - Get Bored
Monday, saw something in the paper
I said I'd read it later, but later never came
Friday, that bastard tried to sue me
He thinks he's gonna screw me
But no-one does these days
Tuesday or was it really Thursday
I woke up on the driveway
Of someone else's house
Yeah that's right, got crippled by the snake bite
And hearing for the tenth time
That you've been feeling down
This is a confession I'm making
Nothing is turning me on...
Get bored when I'm in the crowd
Get bored when it's way too loud
Get bored when I'm on my own
I get bored of being alone
Get bored of the radio
Get bored of the TV shows
One thing I know is true
I hope I never get bored of you...

Sunday, was meant to be the other day
But I don't hear a word they say
A million miles away
Please don't hate me 'cause I'm finding lately
When I'm drifting off, it's you I'm thinking of
This is a confession okay
Thank god you're turning me on
Get bored when I'm in the crowd
Get bored when it's way too loud
Get bored when I'm on my own
I get bored of being alone
Get bored of the radio
Get bored of the TV shows
One thing I know is true
I hope I never get bored of you...

I get so bored all the time
I get bored out of my mind
I get bored, day and night
I get bored all of the time
Get bored when I'm in the crowd
Get bored when it's way too loud
Get bored when I'm on my own
I get bored of being alone
Get bored of the radio
Get bored of the TV shows
Get bored of what I have
I get bored of days that drag
Get bored of the things they say
Get bored it's a boring day
Get bored of my favourite bands
I get bored of all my plans
Get bored I'm bored as shit
Get bored I'm dealing with it
One thing I know is true
I hope I never get bored of you...


11.Fade Out

Girl I got a question needing your attention
Something that you can't avoid
Gotta to get a chance to
Trying to get an answer
Somewhere in between the noise
Think you got a reason
Everytime you're screaming
Shouting till you got no voice
Don't know where your head is
I don't want to feel this baby
But I got no choice
Tell you what you want from me
Is there somewhere
That you'd rather be?
'Cause everytime that we're alone...
I'm watching it all fade out
I'm feeling my heart grow colder
Bridges are burning down
And I just want to get away
I'm hearing a different sound
I'm hoping the worst is over
Waiting to hit the ground...
Every memory of us, for once was never enough
to the dust while...I'm watching it all fade out

Standing in the bedroom
Whistle-ing the sametune
How I never walk the walk
Hearing 'bout the problems
How I got to solve them
'Cause you see it's all my fault
Same conversations, same explanations
Yeah but you never gonna have the time
Always come undone
'Cause I'm trying to be someone baby
That I just can't find...
Tell you what you want from me
Is there somewhere
That you'd rather be?
'Cause everytime that we're alone...
I'm watching it all fade out
I'm feeling my heart grow colder
Bridges are burning down
And I just want to get away
I'm hearing a different sound
I'm hoping the worst is over
Waiting to hit the ground...
Every memory of us, for once was never enough
to the dust while...I'm watching it all fade out
Yeah, what used to seem so right
yeah is fading out of sight
Oh, do you even care?
I'm watching it all fade out
I'm feeling my heart grow colder
Bridges are burning down
And I just want to get away
I'm watching it all fade out
I'm feeling my heart grow colder
Bridges are burning down
And I just want to get away
I'm hearing a different sound
I'm hoping the worst is over
Waiting to hit the ground...
Every memory of us, for once was never enough
to the dust while...I'm watching it all fade out
