Bumpy Ride

The Hoosiers Bumpy Ride Lyrics
1.Bumpy Ride

Lyricist:Jodi Marr, George Noriega, Alan Sharland, Martin Skarendahl,
Irwin Sparkes, Sam Swallows

Love it when you let go
Love it when you let go
Love it when you let go
When you let go, let go

How does it feel
To spit out sunny skies?
And do you believe it's for real
That you've always got it right?

When the words you had explode
And you swallow them up whole
No you gotta let go, let go
You'll love it when you let go, let go, let go

It's gonna be a bumpy ride
But it sure beats standing still
I know we can work it out
And I've no doubt that we will

When it hurts more than it shows
It's not the easiest of roads
No, it's never black and white
And you can keep your happy life

Isn't it hard
Making it look so easy?
And you can never drop your guard
'Cause you're afraid of what you'll see

When the words to that affect
Have no effect on you at all
But you gotta let go, let go
You'll love it when you let go, let go, let go

It's gonna be a bumpy ride
But it sure beats standing still
I know we can work it out
And I've no doubt that we will

When it hurts more than it shows
It's not the easiest of roads
No, it's never black and white
And you can keep your happy life

If only you could let go
You'd love it if you let go
Ooh, if only you could let go
If only you could let go, let go, let it go

It's gonna be a bumpy ride
But it sure beats standing still
I know we can work it out
And I've no doubt that we will

When it hurts more than it shows
It's not the easiest of roads
No, it's never black and white
And you can keep your happy life

It's gonna be a bumpy ride
But it sure beats standing still
I know we can work it out
And I've no doubt that we will

When it hurts more than it shows
It's not the easiest of roads
No, it's never black and white
And you can keep your happy life

Love it when you let go
Love it when you let go
If only you could let go
And only you could let go
If only you could let go
If only you could let go
If only you could let go


2.Who Said Anything (About Falling In Love)?

Lyricist:Alan Sharland, Luke Simpkins, Martin Skarendahl, Irwin
Sparkes, Francis Eg White

I don't know why you love me like you do
It's not like I'm special, special like you
Open your eyes, she's just been reading lines
But she's ever so convincing, want to believe her this time

Who said anything about falling in love?
Lost my mind when I surrendered
Everything to find you're in love
This is my mistake

'Cause who said anything about falling in love
In love, in love

Someone like you was made to be enjoyed
But it won't be by me and that leaves me terrified
I'm coming to terms, I know it didn't mean a thing to you
Didn't mean a thing but it meant quite a lot to me
Meant too much I can see

Who said anything about falling in love?
Lost my mind when I surrendered
Everything to find you're in love
This is my mistake

'Cause who said anything about falling in love
In love, in love?

I know, I know that you're just being kind
But it's giving me a false hope
I know, I know that I only need a little
Just a little bit of false hope
I know, I know that I'm only seeing
What I want to, whoa

Who said anything about falling in love?
Lost my mind when I surrendered
Everything to find you're in love
This is my mistake

'Cause who said anything about falling in love
Lost my mind when I surrendered
Everything to find you're in love
This is my mistake

'Cause who said anything about falling in love
Lost my mind when I surrendered
Everything to find you're in love
This is my mistake

Who said anything about falling in love
This is my mistake
Who said anything about falling in love


3.Choices

In the morning, I could take the burning sun
I could be the only warning, but I'm not the only one
So forgive me 'cause it's more than I can bare
In demand, I make my mind up by deciding not to care

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices

I'm the victim of this day and age
I've forgotten how to feel, I've forgotten how to change
So I surrender to the apple of my eye
I surrender to the wind, I will let the wind decide

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices

I could break it, I could break it 'til it hurts
I could take whatever words you say, pretend I never heard
So forgive me, shouldn't be so hard
It's they way I'm put together, so you're never getting past

Can't we talk this through?
Actions are not what I'm used to
Can't we talk this through?
Actions are not what I'm used to

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
(I surrender)

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
(Just forgive me)
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices

Without friction, we would float up into space
Maybe you could be the friction that will keep me in my place
In the morning, I could take the burning sun
I could be the only warning, but I'm not the only one


4.Unlikely Hero

Lyricist:Alan Sharland, Martin Skarendahl, Irwin Sparkes, Sam Swallows

Only love, only love will save us now
Only love will talk me down

You're my unlikely hero
I tried so hard but you won't surrender
I want you to know

I like everybody
But not everybody likes me, oh whoa
My love's not an island
It's the tip of a volcano, oh whoa

I'm alive, I'm alive but only just
I'm alive, no one to trust

Oh, you're my unlikely hero
I tried so hard but you won't surrender
I want you to know

I like everybody
But not everybody likes me, oh whoa
My love's not an island
It's the tip of a volcano, oh whoa

Everybody talks
No one hears
Everybody talks

Unlikely hero
I tried so hard but you won't surrender
I want you to know, oh, oh

I like everybody
But not everybody likes me, oh whoa
My love's not an island
It's the tip of a volcano, oh whoa

I like everybody
Not everybody likes me, oh whoa
My love's not an island
It's the tip of a volcano, oh whoa

Only love, only love will save us now
Only love will talk me down
Only love, only love will save us now
Only love will save me now

Only love, only love, only love
Only love, only love, only love
Only love, only love, only love
Only love, only love, oh, only


5.Lovers In My Head

Lyricist:Alan Sharland, Martin Skarendahl, Irwin Sparkes, Sam Swallows

I need a second opinion
I want you cross examined
Where there's a will, there's a way
And there's a will, alright

I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them again
I want you to pretend that
When you said no, you didn't say a word
'Cause it's easier

Oh, we're lovers in my head
Lovers in my soul
Disregard what you said
So close your eyes and watch the stars glow

I like the face that is hanging
From your pretty little head
I like the way that it's body
Lies on my bed

I've not met him but he's handsome
I'm sure you made the perfect choice
I got to tell you I love you
But I lost my voice and couldn't say a word
'Cause it's easier

We're lovers in my head
Oh, lovers in my soul
Disregard what you said
So close your eyes and watch the stars glow

We're lovers in my head
We're lovers in my soul
Oh, we're lovers, yes, we're lovers

Love flew away
Love flew away from me
Love flew away
Love flew away

Oh, we're lovers in my head
We're lovers in my soul
Disregard what you said
Close your eyes and watch the stars glow

We're lovers in my head
Oh, we're lovers in my soul
Disregard what you said
So close your eyes and watch the stars glow, oh

So close your eyes and watch the stars glow, oh
So close your eyes and watch the stars glow, oh
So close your eyes and watch the stars glow

We're lovers, yeah, we're lovers


6.Say Hello Wave Goodbye


Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so so love
And I'm going to make sure it never
Happens again
You and I
It had to be
The standing joke of the year
You were a sleep around
A lost and found
And not for me I fear

I tried to make it work
You in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit
(Well it just wasn't me)
You're used to wearing less
And now your life's a mess
So insecure you see
I put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene
That's going to be played my way

Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye

Under the deep red light
I can see the makeup sliding down
Hey little girl you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
What about me- well
I'll find someone
That's not going cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going off the rails

Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye

We've been involved
For quite a while now
And to keep you secret has been hell
We're strangers meeting for the first time, okay?
Just smile and say hello
Say hello then wave goodbye

Say hello then wave goodbye (x3)
Say hello wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello say goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

Goodbye...


7.Used To Be Love

Used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, no it doesn't matter
Used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter at all

Let's make up our life
I'll pretend I'm doing fine
Blissful sleepless night
Oh it just won't let it show that I can't let it go

Whisper in my ear (in my ear)
Your touch sweet paranoia
I am, I'm so hopeless
Got blissed stars, hope that you remember when it

Used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter
But it used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter
But it used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter at all

Change your frequency (frequency), to a different wavelength
Broken sympathy
And I just can't let it show that I can't let it go
Thousand sleepless nights (sleepless nights)
Took comfort in confusion
I am, I'm so hopeless
You got blissed stars, hope that you remember when it

Used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter
But it used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter
But it used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter at all

Tell me something, but that could be a chance
That could be a chance
But I keep on hoping
Lie, you tell me something, but that could be a chance
That could be a chance
Sleep, hope, a chance

Used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter
But it used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter
But it used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter
But it used to be
Used to be love
But it doesn't matter, now it doesn't matter at all


8.Squeeze

Trouble, where have you been all my life?
Always surrender when I should stand-up and fight.
Get out; you shouldn't have come back again.
Regret shouldn't be planned.
I should have learnt to stay clear.

Cold, cold, cold, apply the pressure 'till I'm on my knees!
Oh-Oh Oh~
Strangle-hold, apply the pressure 'till I feel the squeeze!
No more moderation in infatuation, you got a squeeze on me!
Pretend I got the power make me say it louder, you got a squeeze
on me!

'May care, young and ambitious, but that combination you make
malicious to me.

Cold, cold, cold, apply the pressure 'till I'm on my knees!
Oh-Oh Oh~
Strangle-hold, apply the pressure 'till I feel the squeeze!
No more moderation in infatuation, you got a squeeze on me!
Pretend I got the power make me say it louder, you got a squeeze
on me!
No more moderation in infatuation, you got a squeeze on me!
Pretend I got the power make me say it louder, you got a squeeze
on me!

Silent, your lies are like diamonds.
They shimmer above you.
You'll be the death of me. (Silent, your lies are like diamonds)
I convinced myself I don't understand.
Results of the actions upon my hand, there's no magic wonder for
me!

(Ah-Ah Oh-oh) Ohh-Ohhh-Ohh oh (Ah-Ah Oh-OH) Ah-Ah Oh-Oh Ooh!

No more moderation in infatuation, you got a squeeze on me!
Pretend I got the power make me say it louder, you got a squeeze
on me!
No more moderation in infatuation, you got a squeeze on me!
Yeah!
Pretend I got the power make me say it louder, you got a squeeze
on me~!
Apply the pressure 'till I'm on my knees!
Apply the pressure 'till I feel the squeeze!
Apply the pressure 'till I'm on my knees!
Apply the pressure 'till I feel the squeeze!
Apply the pressure 'till I'm on my knees!
Apply the pressure 'till I feel the squeeze! (Oh-Oh-Ahh Ah-Ah)
Apply the pressure!
Apply the pressure!
Apply the pressure!
Apply the pressure!

You got a squeeze on me-e-e-e. (Oh-Oh-Ahh Ah-Ah)
You got a squeeze on me-e-e-e!
You got a squeeze on me-e-e-e.
You got a squeeze on me-e-e-e!

You got a squeeze on me.

(Ahh-Ahh Ah-ah Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh! Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh!
Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh! Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh! Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh!
Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh! Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh! Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh!
Ahh-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh! )


9.Sister Sister

She's got magic in her fingertips
She's turning me on now
Rubbing shoulders but not kissing lips
I'll get her home somehow

She's turning heads like a whiplash
You know she's not to blame
I've got to wonder where you come from, baby
With that name

Sister, sister, you have all the fun and
I insist you leave some for everyone
I know I know it's a cruel world for you
Sister, sister

Imagination getting fired up
She got the money to burn
I come to see you say you won't mix with me
It's my turn

Sister, sister, you have all the fun and
I insist you leave some for everyone
I know I know it's a cruel world for you
Sister, sister you have all the fun and
I insist you leave some for everyone
I know I know it's a cruel world for you
Sister, sister

Can't stand to see you fall apart
Something has touched my hollow heart
And I can't watch you do this to yourself

Ah ah ah ah ah

Sister, sister, you have all the fun and
I insist you leave some for everyone
I know I know it's a cruel world for you
Sister, sister you have all the fun and
I insist you leave some for everyone
I know I know it's a cruel world for you
Sister, sister

Sister, sister
Sister, sister
I know I know it's a cruel world
I know I know it's a cruel world
I know I know it's a cruel world for you
