Midnight In Chelsea
Ugly
Always



Midnight In Chelsea

Kids 'round here look just like sticks
trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smile and catch the groove
Got the girls all dressed in black
serious as heart attacks
Takes a little bit of getting used to
The old man with the whiskey stains
lost the night and forgot his name
His poor wife was sleeping alone again
It ain't hard to understand
why she's holdin' on to her own hand

It's Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)
Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)

No one's asking me for favors
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy saving me

I seen a lonesome rainy drive
Seems the chauffer took a dive
sold his secrets to the sun
Ahh, later in a magazine
I finally figured what it means
to be a saint but not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
chased their shadows in the dark
Someone's gettin' off tonight
A big red bus is packed so tight
disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere, someone's dreamin'
Baby it's alright

It's Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)
Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)

No one's pinnin' dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
When Chelsea girls sing
Sha la la la, Sha la la la,
Sha la la la, Sha la la la
Oh, oh

It's morning when I go to sleep
And here comes the distant dawn with church bell rings
Another day is comin' on
Baby's born an old man dies
the way young lovers kiss good-bye
I leave my soul and just move on
wish that I was there to sing this song

La la la la, Sha la la
Sha la la la, Sha la la
It's Midnight in Chelsea
Sha la la la, Sha la la
Ahh Midnight in Chelsea

No one's askin' me for favors
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy saving me

It's Midnight in Chelsea
Sha la la la, Sha la la
yeah no one's pinnin' dreams on me
No one's askin' me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
the man I wanna be
the man I wanna be
Midnight in Chelsea...

Ugly

If you're ugly, I'm ugly too
In your eyes the sky's a different blue
If you could see yourself like others do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you

And I wish I was a camera sometimes
So, I could take your picture with my mind
Put it in a frame for you to see
How beautiful you really are to me

Ugly, Ugly
All of us just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky

When you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ugly, Ugly
All of us just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
When you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that somedays
Ain't no cure that you can buy

When you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly

So, if you're ugly, I'm ugly too
If you're a nut, then I must be a screw
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you
I wish I was as beautiful as you

Always



This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always
