Tanita Tikaram – Thursday’s Child

I swear I wasn’t cat-napping
To edge into your life
I didn’t notice no sad thing
(It’s a sundance)
To the strange strains that you entice
Now you may walk into an ocean view
(Exciting)
It’s like you have understood
And I was just talking at you
Talking at you
For the good inside, the good inside of us

Do you send me?
No, you’re a kind of dream
But somewhere in the scheme of things
We’ll find who’s Thursday’s Child

We don’t have to undo you
Or entertain your kind
Only reason I talk to you
Is ‘cos I think you may be, a heart attack is blind

And checking out your resume
And making out your plans
The kisses are not something we can talk about
They happened – and you laughed about it
Laugh out loud

Do you send me?
No, you’re a kind of dream
But somewhere in the scheme of things
We’ll find who’s Thursday’s Child

Once,
Is our boast
Do you?
Would you?
Only excite me

To join us is a talking clock, yes
He tells us everything – we want him to stop
But somewhere in the corner
He’s a-laughin’, he’s a-crying out loud
For some kind of attention which isn’t shrouded by
Nicety is something which hangs around this stage
Believe me when I tell you – you can act around it
Mewl and puke about it
I don’t want to hurt you
I just want to join in
This is a kindly creamer
A kindly crematorium

Do you send me?
No, you’re a kind of dream
But somewhere in the scheme of things
We’ll find who’s Thursday’s Child

Cathedral Song

——————

I saw you from the cathdral
You were watching me
And i saw from the cathedral
What i should be

So take my lies
And take my time
‘cos all the others want to take my life

And i watch you with an intent, basic
It’s the same for you
You hold your hand
And it’s all fine – laced and
What would you make me do?

So take my lies
And take my time
‘cos all the others want to take my life

Serious for the winter time
To wrench my soul
Whole cotton, whole cotton ears
But i know there must be
There must be, yes, i know there must be a place to go

You saw me from the cathedral
Well i’m an ancient heart
Yes, you saw me from the cathedral
Well here we are just falling apart

You catch me
I am tired
I want all that you are

I saw you from the cathedral
You were leaving me
And i saw from the cathedral
You could not see to see

So take my lies
And take my time
‘cos all the others want to take my life

Tanita Tikaram – it all came back today

The following is played under the verses:

I’ve marked the start of each bar with and respectively below
(other than between each verse, where I’ve put in [D,D/C#] and [G,D] for each bar).

[D,D/C#][G,D]

Well, he said it like he meant it
But he did not really care
So I sat upon the Eve’s embraces
I was never there –
No, I was never really fabled
I was never really lost
I was cunning through this habit of mine
Y’see all the words were lost
Yes, all the words were lost

[D,D/C#][G,D]
[D,D/C#][G,D]

And you can stand upon your own life
Say it always seemed to seal
There were smiles upon the picture
But I don’t know what to feel
And I told a million stories
And I sat down to risk half
But I never really meant it
‘Til you came and stole my heart away
You came and stole my heart away

[D,D/C#][G,D]
[D,D/C#][G,D]

And even if your real thought hid
A thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

[D,D/C#][G,D]
[D,D/C#][G,D]

Well, the rain scales up
And your soul is drowned
And mother’s saying still raise a frown
And mother’s saying still makes you see
What you have lost instead of me

[D,D/C#][G,D]

And even if your real thought hid
A thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

[D,D/C#][G,D]
[D,D/C#][G,D]

And even if the starlight falls
And takes your breath away
You still stare up towards the toss
I don’t know what to say
I don’t know how to be alone
With some kind fretless friend
And even though the Harvest brings
Well, we all begin again
Yes we all begin again

And even if your real thought hid
A thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

I would like this sun
Be spoke until I find
I was all remembrance
Until the words got tired

[D,D/C#][G,D]
[D,D/C#][G,D]

And even if your walk grows stale
And you got nothing left
I caught the stylist, the sun, the soul,
There is a second breath to take
Yes, there is a second
