Lyrics

Come With Me (written for the T-Mobile ad campaign)

*Check out the music video for this song here*

(Russell, Owens, Ward, Glozier)

I pack my case in the night
You tell me I’ll be alright
I call up all of my friends
I hold my breath, count of ten, then you

Come to me, we go together and you
Stay with me, we stay together and you
Come with me, we go together and we
Run

First light and we’re on our way
I say all I have to say
You stand with all of my friends
I run and run and run and run and then you

Come to me, we go together and you
Stay with me, we stay together and you
Come with me, we go together and we
Run

Come with me
Stay with me
Come with me
Stay with me

Come to me, we go together and you
Stay with me, we stay together and you
Come with me, we go together and we
Run

This House Will Burn

Brightest Star

(Russell, Owens)

I’ve been waiting for an answer and I waited for you
But you never came home

I gave all the fire inside of me, I gave it to you
But you never came home

I’ve been waiting up for hours and sleep is coming soon
To my opening eyes

I’ve been bleeding all the chemistry coursing through my veins
So my desire won’t die

Show me strength and find me the energy
To let go my fear so that I can be free

Give me fire and give me smoke
Give me something I can wish for
Set me free don’t let me choke
Keep my heart beating

Give me thunder in the dark
Give me light enough to find you
Show me somewhere I can start
Don’t leave me reaching
Don’t leave me reaching
Or I will never be free

The sun is crawling over London and shining down on me
From an ebony sky

I’ve been lost and I’ve been wondering what this world could be
In a happier time

Lead me to the light I’ve been following
Then let go my hand so that I can be free

You’re the brightest star in the morning light

Good Time Back

(Russell, Owens)

Get back and stay right back if you’ve got nothing to say
We used to blow the roof off every Saturday

Bring the good time back
Bring the good time back
This is my sweet return
Just give me money to burn

Gimme aid to communicate because I’m out and I don’t know
Just bring me way back up ‘cos I’ve been way down low

Bring the good time back
Bring the good time back
This is my sweet return
Just give me money to burn

Could take a lifetime to figure it out
Could take a lifetime wasted in doubt
Could take a lifetime to figure it out
So let’s bring the good time back
Let’s bring the good time back
Bring it all on back

Get back and stay right back if you’ve got nothing to say
We used to blow the roof off every Saturday

Bring the good time back
Bring the good time back
This is my sweet return
Just give me money to burn

Put The Gun Down

(Lyons)

Well, that’s me on the pavement
Kicking my heels and digging the dirt
That’s you in the papers
Kick me when I’m down – it’s all I deserve

We’re one but we’re not the same
When you’re not catching my eye
But don’t say ‘no change today’
As you go and pass me by

It don’t make no sense
It don’t make no sense

Put the gun down

That’s me with my can in one hand
The other stretched out for more
And that’s you with your head in the clouds
Your feet firmly on the floor

We’re one but we’re not the same
Mistakes, I’ve made a few
Cos it seems like only yesterday
I was once just like you

Sleepless

Emily

(Russell, Owens, Lyons)

Little sister walking by, with a look in her eye,
“Come on”, she’s saying.
“I’m going out with all my friends tonight,
See we’ve got drinks to buy and parties to attend,”

“Oh, today I got a man from SA
He’s got a lot to learn and I’ve got plenty to say”
So come on (come on), come on (come on)
She wanna stop in The Sun, smile at everybody,

Emily, I’m sorry,
We’re just fooling around (just fooling around)
Emily, I’m sorry
We’re just fooling around (just fooling around)

”Four more hours of work today, then it’s time to play,
I’ve got all my things,
And I love the conversation-stop
When they laugh a lot at the things that I say”

Chorus

Little sister, smiles and tan, got a brand new plan
Most all of the time,
Says “I’ve got some other flames to fan,
See not quite every man is eating out of my hand…”

Chorus

Run

(Russell, Owens)

If you’re ever gonna run my boy
I’m afraid you’re heading for a wall
And I’d hate to see you fall
I think you’d better step outside
One day you might hear a deeper call
But you don’t care at all

You’re never gonna swim that ocean clearer
You’re never gonna be that boy again
You’re never gonna fly unless you leave her
Or something’s gonna give inside your head

You’re never gonna run
You’re never gonna run

I hear you say “It’s not my fault”
You play the game but you don’t know the rules
Afraid you’re gonna lose 

As seven easy years have shown
We can give you everything you need
But it won’t come for free

Chorus

I wish I could be more than just a witness
I don’t want to see this fall apart
But there has been a fire and London’s burning
Nothing that we built is built to last

Chorus

There are places that you’ve never seen in sunlight
People that you’ve never understood
A conversation overheard at midnight
Imagination trampled underfoot

A million other faces keeping secrets
Don’t you feel a fire for what they mean?
Where is the desire and where’s the hunger?
Nothing for a thousand miles to see

You’re never gonna run

England

(Russell, Owens, Lyons)

My father worked every hour
My timing was good
Fought enemies we believed in
For honour we stood

With sentiment, I grow older
I’m watching things change
These settlement walls are burning
Fear bellows the flames 

For another second we remain
Halt the fire with steady, ashen rain
Raise us up and bring us home again
The dawn is falling, the dawn is falling
Take me home

Take me home
Take me home (I hear England)
Take me home (I hear England)
Take me home 

It’s hidden in every heartbeat
It’s written on every wall
We’re sending a silent army
To fight for us all

Nail a call to battle on our door
Name the ground and what we’re fighting for
Take the strain and wait for us to fall

We won’t come crawling
We won’t come crawling
Take me home

Take me home
Take me home (I hear England)
Take me home (I hear England)
Take me home  

Do you believe in me now?�

I’m Not

(Russell, Owens)

You came to talk and to set things straight
I’d say you’ve come to the right place

We promised never to part
But here we are again
So just in case

You think I’m coming back… I’m not

You think I care for what you’ve got
There’s nothing left and I don’t care

I did not come to be made a fool
It’s such a shame to be so cruel

You said “Take care of my heart”
But here we are again
So just in case

Chorus
