George Ezra - Wanted On Voyage Lyrics
Blame It On Me
The garden was blessed by the Gods of me and you
We headed west for to find ourselves some truth, ooh
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?
We counted all our reasons, excuses though we made
We found ourselves some treasure, and threw it all away, ooh
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?
When I dance alone, and the sun's beating down,
Blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused,
Blame it on me
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?
Caught in the tide of blossom, caught in the carnival
Your confidence forgotten, I see the gypsies rule, ooh
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?
When I dance alone, and the sun's beating down,
Blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused,
Blame it on me
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?
When I dance alone, and the sun's beating down,
Blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused,
Blame it on me
When I dance alone, I know I'll go
Blame it on me ooh
When I'll lose control, I know I'll go
Blame it on me ooh
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
No, what you waiting for?

Budapest
My house in Budapest
My, my hidden treasure chest,
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo
You
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all
My acres of a land
That I've achieved
It may be hard for you to,
Stop and believe
But for you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all
Ooh, for you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all
Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
Baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
My many artifacts
The list goes on
If you just say the words
I I'll up and run
To you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all
Ooh, to you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all
Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
Baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
Baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
My friends and family
They don't understand
They fear they'll lose so much
If you take my hand
But, for you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd lose it all
Ooh, for you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd lose it all.
Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
Baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
Baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
My house in Budapest
My, my hidden treasure chest,
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo
You
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all.
Ooh, for you
Ooh, you
Ooh, I'd leave it all

Cassy O
Cassy's got a new plan
Gotta get herself away
Well, I'd better act quick
Yeah, I'd better change my ways
Oh, maybe I'm wasting
Maybe I'm chasing time
Oh, come on, let's face it
I'm only ever lost in mine
Well, I got my tracing paper
So that I could trace my clock
And the bastard face kept changing
And the hands, they wouldn't stop
I was ripping out the battery
I received myself a shock
And to add insult to injury
I could still hear tick & tock
Cassy O'
Cassy O'
Please don't leave
Cassy O'
Cassy O'
Please don't leave
Cassy's got a new plan
Gotta get herself a break
And I try, I try, I try
For heaven's sake
Well, I traveled to Australia
And I traveled there by train
This something might sound strange to you
But on the way I gained a day
And I wrote to tell my family
And I wrote to tell my friends
I arrived home, it was lost again
And this torture never ends
Cassy O'
Cassy O'
Please don't leave
Cassy O'
Cassy O'
Please
Inspector, fix me, my Cassy O's burnt out
We're losing memories that I can't replace
She says she's tired of me running in circles
She says it's time that we took a break
Cassy O'
Cassy O'
Please don't leave
Cassy O'
Cassy O'
Please don't leave
Cassy O'
Cassy O'
Please don't leave

Barcelona
Barcelona,
I still long to hold her once more, oh,
My boots of leather,
From Europe
I gather you know, know,
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
The native man sang in a foreign tongue,
I still ache to know the song that he sung,
Barcelona
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Every time you have to go
I shut my mind and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona

Listen To The Man
I feel your head resting heavy on your single bed
I want to hear all about it, get it all off your chest
I feel the tears and you're not alone
When I hold you well I won't let go
Why should we care for what they're selling us anyway
We're so young girl and you know
You don't have to be there babe
You don't have to be scared babe
You don't need a plan, of what you want to do
Won't you listen to the man that's loving you
Your world keeps spinning and you can't jump off
But I will catch you if you fall, I can't tell you enough
I hate to hear that you're feeling low
I hate to hear that you won't come home
Why, should we care for what they're selling us anyway
We're, so young girl and you know
You don't have to be there babe
You don't have to be scared babe
You don't need a plan, of what you want to do
Won't you listen to the man that's loving you
Easy easy and a 1, 2, 3
Breasy breasy if you come with me
Easy easy and a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, na, na, na, na
You don't have to be there babe
You don't have to be scared babe
You don't need a plan, of what you want to do
Won't you listen to the man that's loving you
You don't have to be there babe
You don't have to be scared babe
You don't need a plan, of what you want to do
Won't you listen to the man that's loving you

Leaving It Up To You
I walk past the bleak walls of an architect's un-imagination
Returning to the venue where we held that very first conversation
To see you again, to be your friend, to hold you in my mind
And I arrived there early and as always you swanned in much later
As if nothing had ever changed, you nod at me and order your double and mixer
To see you again, to be your friend, to hold you in my mind
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
And I've been told your new playmate's successful and he's handsome and he's charming
It's a damn good job he isn't here or I may have wound up harming your darling
To see you again, to be your friend, to hold you in my mind
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
We're laughing and we're joking like we always, always used to
Until rudely interrupted by your half-wit of a boyfriend who tries to call you
To see you again, to be your friend, to hold you in his mind
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you
Leaving it up, leaving it up, leaving it up
Leaving it up to you

Did You Hear The Rain?
Whoa, why do you treat me so?
Whoa, why do you treat me so?
Well you cause me to weep
And you cause me to mourn
You cause me to pack up my bags and leave home
Whoa, why do you treat me so?
Did you hear the thunder?
Or the rain?
Means I'm coming home again
Means I'm coming home my friend
Did you steal my name?
Oh, you Jack of all trades
You're the master of none
Oh, the race has begun
I was born a champion
I was born to jump and run
Did you hear the rain?
Oh, the rain?
You can try & run & hide
Tearing at the chain
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Did your siblings tell you
I was wasting up your time
Oh, now you're wasting mine
You put me back in line
And I'm counting every link
And I guess you think that's fine
Did you hear the rain?
Oh, the rain?
You can try & run & hide
Tearing at the chain
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, did I send a shiver
Down your spine?
Well I do it all the time
It's a little trick of mine
Did I make you shake your knees
Did I make him spill his wine
Lord, I'm spreading like disease
Lord, I'm all up in your mind
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Lucifer's inside
Did you hear the rain?
Oh, the rain?
You can try & run & hide
Tearing at the chain
Means I'm coming home again
Means I'm coming home my friend
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, Lucifer's inside.

Drawing Board
I'll fill your pillow case up with snakes the man eating kind
Though you call yourself a women I doubted it they will mind,
Ooh my oh, ooh ooh, oh my
There's just one problem with my plan
You spend your nights with another man
Oh you don't rest your head with mine no more
I've got to take my plot back to the drawing board
Ooh my oh, ooh ooh, oh my
Oh my, my
Oh lately, I'm a heartache
I'm a desperate plan in hands oh I'm a blueprint in the sand, oh my
You mentioned taking a holiday and I recalled you couldn't swim
So I booked us scuba diving off the North coast of Belgium
Ooh my oh, ooh ooh, oh my
And I drew an image in my head of you sinking just like lead
But I never found you washed up on the shore,
I've gotta take my plot back to the drawing board
Ooh my oh, ooh ooh, oh my
Oh my, my
Oh lately, I'm a heart ache
I'm a desperate plan in hands oh I'm a blueprint in the sand, oh my
Oh, I'm the one that you seldom came to see, oh
I was hidden, oh
I've been busy working on my new scheme, oh
To teach you how to hurt
You said you needed a haircut I recommended Mr Todd
Of all the men in this big bad world he's perfect for the job
Ooh my oh, ooh ooh, oh my
Oh my, my
Oh lately, I'm a heart ache
I'm a desperate plan in hands oh I'm a blueprint in the sand
Oh lately, I'm a heart ache
I'm a desperate plan in hands oh I'm a blueprint in the sand
Oh lately, I'm a heart ache
And I haven't seen you since so now I'm praying that you're mince, oh my

Stand By Your Gun
I wouldn't recommend what I have done
Oh the prophets pointed out where I went wrong
Singing wooooo, go figure out your desire,
Wooooo, my darling, stand by your gun
See we don't need,
No nothing more,
We're quite attached to the forty-four,
Take a chance,
Take our words,
We fall down, we go there, we go anywhere, wooooo
My mistakes land like embers on your tongue
In the foreground, you're still busy getting young,
Singing wooooo, go figure out your desire,
Wooooo, my darling, stand by your gun
See we don't need,
No nothing more,
We're quite attached to the forty-four,
Take a chance,
Take our words,
We fall down, we go there, we go anywhere singing
Wooooo, go figure out your desire,
Wooooo, my darling, stand by your gun
See we don't need,
No nothing more,
We're quite attached to the forty-four,
Take a chance,
Take our words,
We fall down, we go there, we go anywhere, wooooo
Waste your time, on lessons learnt,
How long will you go? will you go? will you go? and
Waste your time, on lessons learnt,
How long will you go? will you go? will you go? and

Breakaway
He won't tell her what is going on
He won't tell her what is going on
Well try, oh, try, oh
Lie, oh, lie, oh
He won't tell her what is going on
You may think that he's a demolition expert
When he's finished with your self-esteem
It may be true, we all need knocking down a few
Oh, come find shelter, oh your shelter with me
With me
Breakaway
She don't like to disturb the peace
Became attached to the weak at least
She's got diamonds to show for it
That tree of gold for it
Well, she don't like to disturb the peace
You may think that he's a master of disguise
You lost your dignity, you compromised
It may be true, we all need knocking down a few
Come find shelter, oh your shelter with me, with me
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh
Breakaway, oh

You may think that he's a demolition expert (breakaway, oh)
When he's finished with your self-esteem (breakaway, oh)
It may be true, we all need knocking down a few (breakaway, oh)
Come find shelter oh your shelter with me, with me (breakaway, oh)

Over The Creek
I may love you in the morning
Like today, you'll never know
Step this way, I find the garden
Like today, you'll never know
Well you may claim that you found me
Like today, you'll never know
Like today, you'll never know
Well nonetheless,
I must confess,
That I'm the mess that has been left to save you
Your situation must be dire
Your situation must be over the creek
Haunted we speak
But I can't of left you, I still haven't met you
Well I may fall into your dance
Like today, I'd never know
We may meet with awkward hearts
Like today, I'd never know
Oh like today, I'd never know
Well nonetheless I must confess, that I'm the mess that
Has been left
Well nonetheless I must confess I'm the mess that
Has been left to save you
My situation must be dire
My situation must be over the creek
And haunted we speak, and I can't of left you
I still haven't met you
If ever said too much
Hear my last spoken words
And if I never said enough
Well bleed my last spoken words
Well bleed my last spoken words
Oh nonetheless I must confess that I'm the mess
That has been left
Well nonetheless I must confess that I'm the mess that
Has been left to save you
Our situations must be dire
Our situation must be over the creek
Haunted we speak, over the creek
Haunted we speak
I can't of left you
I still haven't met you

Spectacular Rival
Violence in the air, cutthroat stares
We're just window shopping
Won't you dance with me?
I'm gonna knock you down
Have you afterhours
Too many sherbet dips
You'll get licked if you carry on this way
Beautiful punchbag
I'm gonna lay you down
Just call me Mr. Brown
Ohhhhhhh,
I'm not that kind of man in the day,
Won't you hold me steady, spectacular rival?
And I've had medicine
Though you're not my friend,
I'll love you 'till the end
Either way,
Heaven's got a place for me
Your majesty,
Why you got it in for me?
Either way,
Heaven's got a place for me
Your majesty,
Why you got it in for me?
Either way,
Heaven's got a place for me
Your majesty,
Why you got it in for me?
Either way,
Heaven's got a place for me

Song 6
The modern office building's are chasing the sun
and the wind is racing after the day
And everybody's chasing a beauty they don't have
and I'm, woah I'm, I'm chasing you
The raindrops keep falling, searching for a home
My televisions gasping for air
And everybody's searching, searching for a reason
and I'm, woah I'm, searching for you
We are only dreaming and I'm dreaming only of you
We are only dreaming and I'm dreaming only of you
The militant commuters come waiting for the train,
in the longest Bavarian night
And everybody's waiting, waiting for the sunrise
And I'm, woah I'm, waiting for you
We are only dreaming and I'm dreaming only of you [x4]

Its Just My Skin
There's a lock on my cupboard door,
That I can only reach once inside,
And I often sit and wonder who designed,
Such a perfect place for me to hide
It's just my name,
It's just my skin,
Holding a boulder,
Can you swim?
Oh as we fall,
Through the water,
You find a piece within,
And you know it's just your skin
Well I was never lonely 'till the day that I was born,
Since that day I masquerade in a skin that I have worn,
With at least three separate individual minds,
When long John returns he'll give a scream,
and what he finds
Is just my name,
Is just my skin,
Holding a boulder,
Can you swim?
Oh as we fall,
Through the water,
You find a piece within,
And you know it's just your
Black dog, black dog, that I'll never know,
Oh black dog haunts you mind, your world, your soul,
Oh black dog, black dog, can't you see I am fine?
Oh black dog, black dog, you're no plague of mine.
It's just my name,
It's just my skin,
Holding a boulder,
Can you swim?
It's just my name,
Oh, it's just my skin,
Holding a boulder,
Can you swim?
Oh as we fall,
Through the water,
You find a piece within,
And you know it's just your skin.

Da Vinci Riot Police
Country boys and city girls
Travelling to a foreign world, world
Oh, Da Vinci riot police
Cold War preacher on your street alone, alone
It started when your mother was young,
In every song your father sung
He'd take it and he'd make it your own
Many other roads yet to run
So bind your heart in, back with love
Carry on, carry on
Many other roads yet to run
So bind your heart in, back with love
Carry on, carry on
Call your friends and pack your bags
To the brim, now we're nomads, mad.
European sonic boom, electric chapel - book a room, a room
It started when your mother was young,
With every song your father sung
He'd take it and he'd make it your own
Many other roads yet to run
So bind your heart in, back with love
Carry on, carry on
Many other roads yet to run
So bind your heart in, back with love
Carry on, carry on
It started when your mother was young,
With every song your father sung
He'd take it and he'd make it your own
Many other roads yet to run
So bind your heart in, back with love
Carry on, carry on

Blind Man In Amsterdam
I saw a blind man in Amsterdam with a box around his neck
And the music box kept singing on and the song I won't forget
It went boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom, boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom, boodum boodum boodum
Well, one and two and three and four walk past the man so fast
The audience kept moving on ignoring the cast
I found fifty of his currency and dropped it in his tin
He said "when your adventure ends your next one will begin"
"When this adventure ends your next one will begin"
With a boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom, boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom, boodum boodum boodum
You'll find a blind man in Amsterdam with a box around his neck
And the music box keeps singing on and the song you won't forget
The song you won't forget
With a boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom, boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum, boodum boodum
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum, boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum, boodum boodum
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum, boodum boom boom
