"Shape Of You"

This woman's eyes ain't got no colour
When I think about life without you
Even if it's for the best, regardless
It's the hardest thing to do
Looking at the path that we've taken
We didn't leave a stone unturned
But don't you believe that this won't slay me
Even if I act unconcerned

With a smile, I'll face the world
Though my eyes reflect the truth
I'm moving on
But you know I do.
With a hole in my heart in the shape of you.
With a hole in my heart in the shape of you.

I step into unchartered water
And I'm afraid of what I've done
See I can't head toward my future
Reminicing on how just far we had come
Maybe we could find redemption
Maybe then it all could make sense
Until then I must believe these words
Even though I think you know
That I'm unconvinced

[Chorus]

"Fallen Soldier"

Stranger on the face of it.
Brother in the heart of a nation that prays for you, loves you, calls you by name

Struck out, like some criminal
Cut down like an animal, suddenly everything I know, just ain't the same

We ask for solution
Did anyone hear us?
For your retribution
Did anyone care?
So while this world marches on with the memory gone
My heart will remember

You are my fallen soldier
One of our many martyrs
I would have loved to know you
Still you're my fallen soldier

[Rpt x 2]

"Hurricane Jane"

Call me Hurricane Jane,
Dry season's over, here comes the rain,
Sweeping over your plain, blazing as I go
Call me Hurricane Jane,
This kind of weather's hard to contain,
Nothing's ever the same, when I start to blow

Far from home, lonely time
Thinking about, you and I
Pictures form in my mind, all of them remain.
Here I go like before, signs that I can't ignore.
Close my eyes, cue the storm
Ready for the change...call me.

[Chorus]

Rushing in like a flood
Barren land, turns to mud
Every thought heats the blood,
Temperature will rise.
Ready to pump and it's all good
I love me better than anyone could
You inspire like you should and I cannot deny

[Chorus]

Said I rage like a fire, and I flow like the water
Ain't no surprise I was born under Aries sign.
This is my body, so I do what I choose
Nothing to hide when I am alone, cause there ain't no rules.

[Chorus (x2)]

"Beautiful Contradiction"
(feat. Musiq Soulchild)

[Beverley Knight]
Guess my Mama knew exactly what she meant the day she said
"Be careful what you wish for it will come to you."
Little did I know the day I met you, you would demonstrate
How everything in Mama's words would ring so true
Independent people with a different take on living
Now how did we become more than just good friends?

[Chorus (Both)]
Baby we make such a beautiful contradiction
Together we are in no two ways the same.
Baby we make such a beautiful contradiction
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame.

[Musiq Soulchild]
You and I should be like oil and water
but somehow we mix together and we make a very special blend
Every day we clash on politics, religion,
but we learned the art of how to kiss and make up in the end yeah.
Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
Alien invasion of my heart and soul

[Chorus]

[Beverley Knight]
I realise it, you learn, you gotta cry, you gotta respect and
Feel somebody you gotta fall, you gotta rise
To really understand the things that make this little world go round.
That's what really makes us, that's how we learn.

Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
Alien invasion of my heart and soul.

[Chorus]

"Same (As I Ever Was)"

Still got my fire, I'm never cold
It burns within me, It's taken hold
Still finding mountains , I've yet to climb
I still get lonely, But never mind

I'm the same
Same
As I
As I ever was
The same
As I
As I ever was
True to the last word baby
Still making myself heard baby
I'm the same
Yeah
I'm the same
Yeah

Still got my family, Old friends of mine
I know they still will stand, The test of time
Still feel my history, My future too
Black gold and green, Red white and blue

[Chorus (x2)]

Still got my temple. Each curve and line
Those who can't get with that , Ain't worth my time
Can't compromise no, That would be strange
I'm still that Aries lady, ain't nothin' changed

"Whatever's Clever"

[Intro]
Are you ready for me?
Better let me know
Are you ready for me?
Better let me know
Are you ready for me?
Better let me know
You'd better, you'd better do whatever's clever baby

[Verse 1]
How can you be down?
you gotta do whatever's clever
So that I will stick around
you gotta do whatever's clever
And you don't want to waste your time
you gotta do whatever's clever
You gotta go somewhere you gotta do whatever's clever
If you wanna step to me
You gotta do whatever's clever
So I'll listen carefully..
You gotta do whatever's clever
You gotta say whatever, hear whatever, mean whatever, hear whatever,
Feel whatever, think whatever do whatever's clever

So you want to roll with me,
Here's advice that you should heed
Common sense is all you need
To avoid my thunder
First of all talk to my face
Not the view below my waist
How we gonna conversate
While your head's down under?
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.

[Chorus repeat]

Here's a very simple truth
"Monkey see is monkey do"
So you're never getting through
If your boys are busters
Finally please understand
All I have is by my hand
On my own I'm making ground
I am my own woman.
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can choose if he steps my way.
Stop where are you going
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
Stop, this is worth knowing
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.

[Chorus repeat]
[Intro repeat (x2)]

"Ambition (It All Comes 2 U)"

In my life I have but one obsession
It consumes my thought both night and day
It shows in everything I've done
The will to be a number one
That's just how I pray
I've gotta run..

Faster than the lead
Just can't stop, can't go slow
I've gotta drive beyond full speed
Just can't stop still I know
No matter what you desire, how much you pursue
Well, it all comes to you

Mama says I gotta learn a lesson
From those who crash and burn and fade away
She tells me there's a higher hand
Presiding on a master plan
So what's in store who can say?
So I try to run

[Chorus]

Possibility are infinite
I'm not the kind to wait
Maybe all the things you really need
To choose
What my Mama said
But I've gotta run..

"Bestseller Mystery"

Oohhh you hit me like a high speed freight train
Just when I thought all was lost
Now intrigue desire racing all through my brain
I opened Pandora's box
My best friend done told me that you were the shit
See that added fuel to my fire
With the eyes of an angel and a mouth made for sin
Speaking words made to inspire

Something gotta hold of me
Hell 'O- automatic chemistry
This is the way I feel
You're just like a Bestseller mystery
I can't put down
I need to read to the end
Baby you flow so heavenly
Gotta turn to page one
Start you all over again

Blazing front cover in every which way
Tell me, what's behind that little smile?
I done read a couple things
I done read a coupla chapters
I like your turn of phrase
And oohh those lips beguile

[Chorus]

I just gotta know
Can I show just what it is
What it is you do, what you do to me
I just gotta know if I explode, you won't run away from me boy
I just gotta know , does it show in my face the way you look at me boy
I just gotta know can I go, unveil the mystery?

[Chorus]

"Gold"

Some people never recognise it
Though it's right before their eyes
And shines in all its glory
They never ever see
They choose something that looks just like it
And it may glitter all the time
But gold it will never be
I guess you never held on to quality
Or you woulda recognised by now
Something so special so true
When it's standing right in front of you

I'm gold babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don't know
Pure gold babe
You're looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth you wouldn't let go [x2]

Oh no!

Gold lies in rivers undiscovered
Hidden from the sight of those
Who don't know what to look for
(They ain't never gonna find it)
Sometimes the value is uncovered
Other times it's cast aside
By those who are just unsure

I guess you never held on to quality
Or you would of recognised by now
Something so special so true
When she's standing right in front of you

[Chorus]

All the things you failed to see
Separated you from me
I decide who wins my time
And who comes inside yeah
Cause what is true and what is real
Finds a way of being revealed
I don't have to even try
Cause I'm certified¡-pure¡-

[Chorus (x2)]

"Come As You Are"

The weather's hot like hell
It's sort of casts a spell
I want a friendly face
Inside a cool dark space

Yeah, summers begun
This is where one, needs to be two
Yeah I know i'm bold
But baby I'm sold on me with you

Come as you are
You can stand
Take my hand, I'll help
Come as you are
Don't be shy
Don't deny, yourself

So are we good to go?
Don't act like you don't know
This is a brand new dress
Don't want to make no mess...

Yeah, summers begun
We can have fun, playing for kicks
Yeah habits to feed
And baby I need to get my fix

Come as you are
You can stand
Take my hand, I'll help
Come as you are
Don't be shy
Don't deny, yourself

Come as you are
You can stand
Take my hand, I'll help
Come as you are
Don't be shy
Don't deny, yourself

Got to give a shout out
Going to the people who feel
What a sista like me is talking bout
Got to give a shout out
Going to the people who feel
What a sista like me is talking bout

Hey, hey, hey!

Come as you are
Come on

Come as you are
You can stand
Take my hand, I'll help
Come as you are
