Summertime Here All Year lyrics - Charlie Winston

It’s too hot and we’re ready to burn
It takes a big mistake before a lesson is learned.
It’s too late to turn back the time.
The weatherman has fallen through a hole in the sky.
And he’s long gone, yes, he’s long gone, 
And there’s no way that he’s coming back.

We’re too slow, beaten by the heat
You need a real reason to get onto your feet.
It’s too long since we've watered the flowers.
And every year we’re hoping for some April showers.
But they won’t come, no they won’t come 
And I’m done with us digging holes

Because it’s summertime here all year long round.
And the rain won’t pour anymore.
We’ve gotta move.
(To a land where the grass is growing, 
To a land where the grass is)

Because it’s summertime here all year long round.
And the rain won’t pour anymore.
We’ve gotta move.

The seven seas are beginning to merge
They’ve swallowed up the cities 
Now they’re starting to purge.
Sun sets on an ocean of trash.
A world of functionality reducing to ash.
And it’s all gone, yes it’s all gone
The world that we used to know

Because it’s summertime here all year long round.
And the rain won’t pour anymore.
We’ve gotta move.
(To a land where the grass is growing, 
To a land where the grass is)

Because it’s summertime here all year long round.
And the rain won’t pour anymore.
We’ve gotta move.
We’ve gotta move.
Gotta move.

(To a land where the grass is growing, 
To a land where the grass is)

Lift Me Gently lyrics - Charlie Winston

If this river be my death bed,
Made by the madness of this man,
And my words to him be thank you,
Would the heavens understand?

All my life I’ve been a good girl,
Every night I’ve said my prayers
And I hope that Jesus heard me
Through all my tears.

Hears my angels come to take me.
They are haloed in the light,
But I wish they’d touch me softly,
They’re aggressive and they’re uptight.

Lift me gently
Or leave me where I am.
I thought you’d be the hand of God.
But you’re just the same as Him.

Lift me gently.
Please not with human touch.
Christ knows I’ve had my share alive.
And it never felt like love

So I’m face down in this river
And my body’s cold and useless
And the angels pull at my soul
But it's anxious and it's nervous
And they tell me,

“You’re not the only one who waits for their delivery,
And you’re world’s too full of lonely souls.
And we’re rushed off our feet”,
But I say, please..

Lift me gently.
Or leave me where I am.
I thought you’d be the hand of God.
But you’re just the same as Him.

Lift me gently.
Please not with human touch.
Christ knows I’ve had my share alive
And it never felt like love
Lift me gently
Lift me gently

"Hobo" (2009)




In Your Hands lyrics - Charlie Winston

Mother,
I've gotta get out of here
So I can save our family
From this poverty
And when I make my money
I'll send it back to you

Father,
Give me strength, I pray
I have to end this misery
It's causing too much pain
I'm gonna look for richer lands
Where the money's made

I'm gonna put my whole World
In your hands
I have to put my whole World
In your hands
In your hands

Mister,
Please let me work somehow
You've kept me waiting 18 months
And still I'm not allowed
And every time you promise me:
"Not much longer now"

I've had to put my whole world 
In your hands
I'm gonna put my whole world
In your hands
In your hands

Hey, hey, oho
Listen, listen to me

Mister! Mister! You say you're trying
But don't you know my brother's dying
You say "it won't be long"
But why am I so cursed
For where I am born?
I know

You've got my whole world
In your hands
I've had to put my whole world
In your hands
I'm gonna put my whole world
In your hands
I've had to put my whole world
In your hands
In your hands

Like A Hobo lyrics - Charlie Winston

I've always known
Since I was a young boy
In this world, everything's as good as bad
Now my father told me always speak a true word
And I have to say that is the best advice I've had
Because something burns inside of me
It's everything I long to be
And lies they only stop me from feeling free 

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me 

I've never yearned for anybody's fortune
The less I have the more I am a happy man
Now my mother told me always keep your head on
Because some may praise you just to get what they want
And I said mama I am not afraid
They will take what they will take
And what would life be like without a few mistakes 

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me

Kick The Bucket lyrics - Charlie Winston

If you say this is pop, to be singing to a tune with a rhythm like this,
would it be so unpopular for a singer like me to be bringing up the fact that we're all gonna go?
Some people swear, they say they know where.
For me it's a mystery. But which ever way you see it
You have to admit it and live it and live it!

We all kick the bucket in the end! The end!
All the girls kick the bucket in the end! The end!
And the boys kick the bucket in the end! The end!
Yep! We all kick the bucket in the end! The end! The end! The end! The end!

Blew up my TV. It' was numbing my brain to be thinking the same as million other people all feeling afraid of the same thing.
But there's nothing to lose, 'cause we're all on a bike and we're cycling through,
getting off on our injuries - but you gotta get back on it and live it and live it to love it and live and love life.

Cause we all kick the bucket in the end! The end!
All the girls kick the bucket in the end! The end!
And the boys kick the bucket in the end! My friend!
Yep! We all kick the bucket in the end! The end! The end! The end! The end!

This is not a sad song!
I don't bring it up to get you down,
It's a celebration for all the red cells
Going round and round in your body!

I don't mean to preach or to sound like a teacher.
No! I only wanna cut the crap and looking back, everybody's had to face the facts.

That we all kick the bucket in the end! The end!
All the girls kick the bucket in the end! The end!
And the boys kick the bucket in the end! My friend!
Yep! We all kick the bucket in the end! The end! The end! The end! The end!

I Love Your Smile lyrics - Charlie Winston

Darling, I hate to see you So angry with the world
If people want a piece of you
Then they're missing something for themselves.
Maybe it's selfish of me to look at you and say
"Come back to me girl I loveand I'll stay.

Coz I love your smile
Yes, I love your smile
How I love your smile
More than you know

Sometimes I might seem cold holding back my sympathies
For people stories and people tell
Can so easily be believed.
The truth gets so distorted when everyone knows best
And sadness tends to find his friends
On the road to righteousness -
Darling, let's never be a part of that

Coz I love your smile
I love your smile
Girl,I love your smile
More than you know

I don't know why
a laugh is hard to find
could it be all of our fears
that we hide behind?
Like bricks in the wall
I wanna see them
fall down!

Coz I love your smile
Yes, I love your smile
Girl, I love your smile
More than you know

Hey hey hey
I love your smile
Girl,I love your smile
When I love your smile
More than you know

Well, I love your smile
Cause I love smile, baby
You know what I mean

My Life As A Duck lyrics - Charlie Winston

They laugh at me at my life.
My life as a duck;
But I don't get worked up.
It's my life as a duck.

You may think this is funny;
You may think I had bad luck;
Or did you think that I was stuck,
In my life as a duck?

For all my life I've tried to hide
the animal in me
Now it's time to open up and
breathe
And breathe

I don't know where I'm going
Or from which place I have come.
But as long as I'm floating
The don't can be undone

You must be thinking 'what is he on?'
But things are looking up
I've started to believe in living
My life as a duck

For all my life I've tried to hide
the animal in me
Now it's time to open up and breathe
And breathe

So listen!

I know everything about you
Your father was a duck
[x4]
For all my life...

Boxes lyrics - Charlie Winston

As a child with ocean eyes I smiled 
At a world existing just for me;
Without boxes, borders or boundaries
I built dreams;

But like plastic building blocks
They were knocked down to the ground
I grew up
To a world of compromise
Analysing what it means to dream

I don't really want to understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling, you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
we'll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they'll put us in

Who shall we propose to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
With these empty building blocks
I could make a thousand me's

I don't really wanna understand everything in my world
It spoils to find out
Come on darling, you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We'll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes They'll put us in

And I'm told we all fix in -
But why should I belong to one thing?
Who shall we propose to be
Who am I supposed to be
With these plastic building blocks
I could make a thousand me's

I don't really...
... the boxes they'll put us in

Calling Me lyrics - Charlie Winston

I heard you calling me
As I was swept away deeper into the sea
In love, I missed it's treachery; swimming free
And in one breath a twist of fate made history

Mother Nature took me in
She swept me under then I knew it was my end
My whole life flashed in front of me, so suddenly
And sinking down I knew I could still hear your
scream!

I hear you calling me
There's nothing I can do
I hear you calling me
To answer back to you

Ooh

And now you're losing sleep
With memories, you spend all night playing hide and seek
Replaying how it should've been and could've been
If only there were omens that you could've seen

Back in that room again
You hope to reach me through a medium
But there's no use; I can't reply to this lover's cry
Oh! How I wish I could see you
one more time
To say goodbye!

I hear you calling me
There's nothing I can do
I hear you calling me
To answer back to you

mmh

I hear you calling me
There's nothing I can do
I hear you calling me
To answer back to you
[2x]
