Badly Drawn Boy - You Were Right Lyrics






And you,
Were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery
Well the good things are never free
Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?
And I,
Was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve
You could follow me for weeks
And I'm not going anywhere
Sometimes it's hard to love someone
Till the day that they are gone

And I
Just had a dream the other night
I was married to the Queen
And Madonna lived next door
I think she took a shine to me
And the kids were all grown up
But I had to turn her down
'Cos I was still in love with you

I'm turning Madonna down
I'm calling it my best move
I'll get her tickets to what she needs

I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died
And the night Jeff Buckley died
And the night Kurt Cobain died
And the night John Lennon died
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone
And that was a lot of nights
And that was a lot of lives
Who lost the tickets to what they need?

And I
Was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life
Always hoped you'd be my wife
But I never found the time
For the question to arrive
I just disguised it in a song

And songs are never quite the answer
Just a soundtrack to a life
That is over all too soon
Helps to turn the days to night
While I was wrong and you were right

And this was a lesson learned
I'm happy to be your fool
And get you tickets to what you need

I'm turning the lights down low
I'm ready to make my move
I'll get you tickets to what you need:

    I was finding answers while you got on with real life. Always a dreamer.

    And you
    Were right to bide your time
    And not buy into my misery
    Well the good things are never free
    Do the colours of the rainbow
    Look the same to everyone

    An' I
    Was rushing round in circles
    For a reason to believe
    Wipe the slime from off your sleeve
    You could follow me for weeks
    And I'm not going anywhere

    Sometimes it's hard to love someone
    Until the day that they are gone

    An' I
    Just had a dream the other night
    I was married to the queen
    And Madonna lived next door
    I think she took a shine to me
    And the kids were all grown up
    But I had to turn her down
    'Cause I was still in love with you

    I'm turning Madonna down
    I'm calling it my best move
    I'll get her tickets for what she needs

    I
    Remember doing nothing
    On the night, Sinatra died
    And the night, Jeff Buckley died
    And the night, Kurt Cobain died
    And the night, John Lennon died
    I remember I stayed up
    To watch the news with everyone

    And that was a lot of nights
    And that was a lot of lives
    Who lost the tickets to what they need

    An' I
    Was busy finding answers while
    You just got on with real life
    Always hoped you'd be my wife
    But I never found the time
    For the question to arrive
    I just disguised it in a song

    And songs
    Are never quite the answer
    Just a soundtrack to a life
    That is over all too soon
    Helps to turn the days to night
    While I was wrong and you were right

    And this was a lesson learned
    I'm happy to be your fool
    And get your tickets to what you need

    I'm turning the lights down low
    I'm ready to make my move
    I'll get you tickets to what you need

  27. T.... J....

    This has got to be one of the worst songs to ever come out of the music industry. Everything about it is just fucking awful.

    T.... J....

    @Cristiano Torres Lol I joke, I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't like this music but it doesn't mean it's "shit" just because I think it's "shit". Now lets stop fighting because it's getting nowhere.

    T.... J....

    I knew for sure this guy was a dip shit the moment he listed sum41 as one of his favorite bands. That would be like someone saying: "I absolutely love stand-comedy." And someone says, "Oh, who's your favorite?" And he answers, "Gallagher." Instant dip shit. Or, "I love the Presidents. I know everything about them. George W Bush is my favorite." Instant dip shit. Or, "I love The Beatles. I know all the B-sides and all the outtakes and all the album tracks. My favorite song by The Beatles is Hey Jude." Jack ass clown dip shit.

    T.... J....
