Amy Macdonald-This is the life

Oh the wind whistles down the cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder each one better than before

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight? Where you gonna sleep tonight?

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four

So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go?
And where you're gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight? Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight? Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Amy Macdonald-Don't tell me that it's over
Tell me why this world is a mess
I thought you always tried your best
Tell me what I’m ought to do
Maybe you should do it too

Tell me why they’re sleeping alone
No house no where to call a home
Tell me what I’m meant to see
Won’t you stop preaching at me

And I wanna see what it’s all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung

All the money in the world
Would never slit all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world
Would never set my heart alive

I dream of a day when it’s all gone away
And the sun is shining bright
I dream of a day when it’s all gone away
But dreams are for night

And I wanna see what it’s all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung

Don’t tell that it’s over
Please I’m on my knees I’m beggin you to stop
It’s over please I’m on my knees I’m beggin you to stop

And I wanna see what it’s all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Or that this song is sung
The song ïs sung
