This Charming Life - Joan Armatrading

Page 1





Eh oh eh Let‘s go Eh oh eh There is something going round Trying to make our lives a wasteland

Let‘s go … There‘s a bad man coming Trying to bring us down There‘s a bad man coming Trying to bring us down

Put a strangle hold on hope But there ain‘t no tempo we can‘t play

I got a feeling in my bones Everything is gonna work out

Let‘s go …

On a spiritual level There ain‘t no mountain That we can‘t climb

Everybody gets to ride A bad patch of life But it don‘t mean luck Is never on your side There‘s a bad man Trying to break our backs But he‘ll need the strength of ten Before he breaks a sweat We‘re fierce like a lion Strong in our convictions Hey we are determined In our heart and soul Yeh we stand Yeh we fight Yeh we hold Into the night

Hey mister man Better get yourself a plan If you think we‘re gonna fail Then you‘ve on the wrong track I can tell by the way That you‘re choking for breath You know you‘re looking at people Who win Let‘s go We‘re the people who win







Everywhere and in between I see your face baby Everything I do I do to make you happy Maybe I try to hard But I can‘t resist Such a beautiful face Such a beautiful face You‘re fine you‘re fine You‘re fine you‘re fine Every part of you Is like a diamond Precious to have Expensive to keep

But the night‘s treasures Is alright by me Yeh da da da… A part of me will always be with you I don‘t mind the weather I don‘t mind the rain falling It doesn‘t matter if it‘s sunny Or there‘s clouds up above I‘ll take a chance and I‘ll predict That we will always be in love Whatever life throws us we will catch We will catch with a glove I‘ve got a hunger for you baby I just can‘t get enough. I don‘t mind the weather I don‘t mind the rain falling As long as I‘m with you I‘ll ride I‘ll ride I‘ll ride The seven seas I‘ll ride I‘ll ride I‘ll ride The seven seas





You had some worries Like the size of earth And the weight on your shoulders Of the universe I said hey hey Look at you now Look at you now With your best dress on You painted yourself In a corner space Trying to lose that stigma And the badge of shame But everybody has a cross to bear You were a slave to your desire To make a better way I said hey hey Look at you now Look at you now With your best dress on I can see you dancing In the pale moonlight And you‘re moving round Just like a spinning top Got your hair highlights

And got your painted nails Got your glad rags on And got your humour back Yeh the purple people They can learn from you To control a mind And make it follow through From the darkest recess Found a shining light Built your world back up And set your life to right I said hey hey Look at you now Look at you now With your best dress on Look at you now Look at you now With your best dress on On a blind date Under shooting stars Met an angel Chosen by your fate And that‘s how destiny is shaped When you lend a helping hand


I said Look at you now Look at you now With your best dress on It doesn‘t seem so very long ago That your mind was weak And dragged your spirits low I say hey hey Look at you now Look at you now With your best dress on



Nothing you can do Is ever gonna hurt like this Nothing you can say Is ever gonna hurt like this

Nothing you can do Is ever gonna hurt like this Nothing you can say Is ever gonna hurt like this

And I can‘t forget the one Said I can‘t forget the one No I can‘t forget the one I saw you holding

And I can‘t forget the one Said I can‘t forget the one No I can‘t forget the one I saw you holding

Why just doesn‘t matter What I want to know is when When did you stop craving For the nearness of me And my perfumed smell When I play with your hair And the feeling you get When I touch you The sun has set Our love Is shaded And all I can do Is cry
