Natalie Imbruglia
Butterflies – Natalie Imbruglia
Don’t forget to breathe
Sickened by the wanting
And drowning from the need
This dichromatic vision
Of one who does not care
To sipping cocktail sedatives
Two months to hide somewhere
Butterflies, butterflies
Cut the stomach out and
Hand it over
Butterflies, butterflies
My heart will be
The bridge that
You walk over
The wolf has
Caught the chicken
And now I feel unsteady
Emotions on the blink again
So kick me
When you’re ready
Here lies a violet coffin
The death of my control
Along with all my skeletons
They put them in a hole
Sickened by the notion
I give myself again
Choking on the bullet
The gun that’s found a friend
So raise your glass to sorrow
And dring to all the pain
Tie a silver ribbon around
The pieces that remain
Butterflies, butterflies
Cut the stomach out and
Hand it over
Butterflies, butterflies
My heart will
Be the bridge that
You walk over

I’ve Been Watching You – Natalie Imbruglia
slaps your face
says your pain is a state of grace (I think that’s right)
mirror cracks
image bleeds
he’ll touch your desires
but not your needs
I stand at an open window
I see everything there is to see
I’ve been watching you
isn’t it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taking you
I’ve been watching you
isn’t it true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you
party ends
on the floor
hear a voice
behind the door
in the dark
you play his games
forget yourself
forget your name
I stand at an open window
I see everything there is to see
I’ve been watching you
isn’t it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taking you
I’ve been watching you
isn’t it true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you
so there you are all dressed in black
walk away and don’t look back
but if you must then cast a stone
the light is on but there’s nothing and no one home (I think)
cos i’ve been watching you
isn’t it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taIking you
I’ve been watching you
isn’t it true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you
I said I i’ve been watching you
Isn’t it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taking you
I’ve been watching you
isn’t true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you down.

Everything Goes – Natalie Imbruglia
You live like an island
Satisfied
You live for the moment
Here you come
You make it look easy
I bet you smile in your sleep
Are you smiling at me
You live your life
You live like an island
Surrounded by
Water and silence
Mmm there you go
You make it look easy
I bet you laugh at yourself
Are you laughing at me
‘Cause sometimes anything goes
When you’re looking at me
And sometimes everything goes
When you’re looking at me
So come on, come on
Everything goes
(When you’re looking at me)
Come on, come on
Everything goes
(Sometimes when
You’re smiling at me)
Come on, come on
Everything goes
Come on
You live your life
You live like an island
What is it like
I wish I could hold it
Mmm there you go
Making it look easy
I bet you like how it feels
But do you feel me
So come on, come on
Anything goes
Come on, come on
Everything goes
Come on, come on
Everything goes
‘Cause sometimes
Anything goes
When you’re looking at me
And sometimes
Everything goes

One More Addiction – Natalie Imbruglia
it’s gonna feel very nice
then the bad news
you gotta pay a heavy price
rip tide, we slide we ride on a deep forbidden sea
underwe go – o so slow
and you’re hanging onto me
and I say
oh oh one more addiction in my world
oh one more connection to let go
oh flowing down the river
out of sight forever (from my world)
it’s the only thing I know how to do
I reject you
but I can’t follow through
I’d forget you
but you’d end up tappin’ on my back door
somehow I lost myself
in a tunnel long and black
somewhere, at the end, I pretend
there’s a way of turning back
[chorus]
take a breath
let it out
all the things you frown about are meaningless of course,
unless you’re doing this for real I guess
I meant to but
I don’t know what
is in the way and could I say
it’s you I bet
I won’t forget
maybe I’m not ready yet
[chorus]
