Jake Bugg - On My One Album Lyrics

I'm just a poor boy from Nottingham
I had my dreams
But in this world they're gone, they're gone
Oh, I'm so lonesome on my one

Three years on the road, 400 shows
Where do I go home?
No place to go
Where do I belong?
Oh, I'm so lonesome on my one

Everytime has a stranger when I'm around
No sins forgiven, hell spit me out
Where's God, where's God?
He's even left me on my one
Where's God, where's God?
He's even left me on my one

I'm just a poor boy from Nottingham
I had my dreams
But in this world they're gone, they're gone
I'm oh so lonesome on my one
Oh, I'm so lonesome on my one

Stick lights and rounds about the old days
Keeping rich just to make new waves
I've thought about it in a few ways
Pull back, took on the pale blaze
Middle role, the world 'bout the game play
Soft coke is hard on the airplay
Tryna make it sound like the new phase
It's only gonna be the same

Baring down as words rolling deep heat
Steer back and trying to give it upbeat
Those kids talk about the old streets
Brick wall hit by the concrete
Throw Ben back in his glory
Hard to tell if any of them are foney
Took back time to think like the old me
It's only gonna be the same

Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
It's only gonna be the same

Shakes hard, turning out to get paid
Bad times, sees the people real fake
Pushing on her heart thats allready been made
Coming up fast, cut glass the next take
Better put your sticker on cause you gonna break
Late nights make you walk sideways
And now we're gonna party my way
It's only gonna be the same

Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
It's only gonna be the same

Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
It's only gonna be the same

Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
Just gimme the love
It's never gonna be the same

Crying for the one who doesn't love you
All you feel is the pain
You don't know why he doesn't want you
He hasn't called for days

So dry those eyes and don't be afraid
Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
No you don't know it don't come easy
Come easy

They say it comes in threes; love, hope and misery
I'm the first to have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I know that you must hate me

Holding back the reasons not to love you
Try to find the way
But when you're feeling down and lonely
It makes it hard to say

So dry those eyes and don't be afraid
Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
No you don't know it don't come easy
Come easy

They say it comes in threes; love, hope and misery
I'm the first to have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
And I know, and I know, and I know that you must hate me

As I think about the only way that you know to love
No, this feeling can't be right if it don't mean much
No, this feeling ain't right if it don't mean much
I can't be here for you
No, I can't live a lie, woman, that you must know
And this feeling can't be right if it moves so slow
No, this feeling ain't right if it moves so slow
I can't be here with you

They say it comes in threes; love, hope and misery
I'm the first to have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I know that you must hate me

When the morning was clear
Blackened affairs
And she could not breathe
Cause she felt scared
Couldn't help but stare
Out of the window
Even though she wouldn't go outside

She wouldn't answer the door
Curtains were drawn
And the house was cold
Her children were old
And they did not care
That's what she thought
When they tried to help
But she wouldn't answer the door

And the love we're hoping for is dying
Just like this city, that we're all in

As time went on
She felt she belonged
In a trapped domain
Drove her insane
And the men she loved
Over the years
They would only use her
They would only use her

Cause the love we're hoping for is dying
Just like this city, that we're all in

When the morning was clear
Blackened affairs
And she could not breathe
Cause she felt scared
Couldn't help but stare
Out of the window
Even though she never went outside

And the love we're hoping for is dying
Just like this city, that we're all in
And the love were hoping for is dying
Just like this city, that we're all in

When you try to get too close
In your flammable clothes
Step to the flames
But it isn't a taste
Leave it to the rain
Don't put out the fire
Put out the fire
Traveling long ground
Panic because it's a sign
It's moving really fast
So don't put out the fire
Put out the fire

Put out the fire

When you're trynna be so smart
When the forest ain't so dark
Flames cut through the trees
Grow within the breeze
You wake up on your runnin
But you'd never put out the fire
Put out the fire
It will catch real soon
And take you to your tome
It's closing in quickly
So you better put out the fire
Put out the fire

Put out the fire

When you find yourself in close
In between that heat that rose
Chocked on the smoke
Felt it in your throat
The drought provoked you
That you're never putting out the fire
Put out the fire
Only in doubt
I'm getting out
I'm never gonna breath
Cause I'll never put out the fire
Put out the fire

Put out the fire

And I don't know if I know ya
I know it sounds bad
And I don't know if I need ya
I know I must be mad

And if suddenly you leave
How we learn to stay?
Cause you don't need a guy like me
Who never wants to dance

And I don't know if I need ya
I know it might be cruel
And I don't think that I love ya
I know I'm such a fool

But I'll be waiting by the phone
Waiting on for hours
But I'll be waiting all alone
For a love that's not out

And if suddenly you leave
How we learn to stay?
Cause you don't need a guy like me
Who never wants to dance
Never wants to dance

Hang around on the weekends darling
While we figure it out
Maybe leave on the Sunday morning
Cause I'd act tough and we'd break up
It's on, it's on

Never mind what you said last week babe
I forgive what you've done
You come back on the Sunday evening
We go out, we live in doubt
It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on

It's getting old and it's all your fault
Because I won't do what I'm told
It's makes my mind need bitter salt
It's on, it's on

Shall we look to the pictures darling
Shall we go see what's on
Just to argue about everything
Cause when we're out we only shout
It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on

It's getting old and it's all your fault
Because I won't do what I'm told
It's makes my mind need bitter salt
It's on
It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on
It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on

It's getting old and it's all your fault
Because I won't do what I'm told
It's makes my mind need bitter salt
It's on, it's on, it's on

It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on
It's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on

Keep up, keep up and listen slow
Trying to picture this but still nobody knows
Where the people age quick but still they never grow
Where the men keep bluffing till they're toe to toe
A place where your friends and foes they stoop low
Ready to boast soon as they made a bit of dough
Can't really blame 'em for the life that they chose
Cause I knew that all of them are in the same boat

This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme

Enough blues here for the edge of you seat
Never hear anything about it on the TV
Only about who dough, make the tax payer bleed
Oh, and the corporation greed
We live in a world of vulturous thieves
Where you can't just wind up the dividing stream
And when you're in the middle, which side do you lean?
I must say it's hard being in between

This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme

I understand that it must be a hard life
I know I'm lucky and can't sympathise
Patronising would be trying to give advice
Come on Curtis just put down the knife
I knew from his eyes he wasn't gonna think twice
Put your mask on before committing crimes
These kids need to think about time inside
Cause a dagger through the heart comes at a price

This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme

Keep up, keep up and listen slow
Trying to picture this but still nobody knows
Where the people age quick but still they never grow
Where the men keep bluffing till they're toe to toe
A place where your friends and foes they stoop low
Ready to boast soon as they made a bit of dough
Can't really blame 'em for the life that they chose
Cause I knew that all of them are in the same boat
It sounds like a place that you don't wanna go
But this is the place that I call home

This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme

This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme
This ain't no rhyme

For now I'm living in the country
I was working up until I fell
I only went down, my ship had already sailed
I met a girl out in Memphis, it was going well I thought at first
She never said bye, she left when she'd knew I'd fail

And if I could understand
My body'd get some rest at last
Would I fight to take a stand?
I'd never look back
Never have to look out for the man

But now I'm moving out the country
Found my lucky pardon, I was saved
Couldn't get out, I found no check in the mail
So I went up to Nashville
It was going well but then went stale
I couldn't get by, lucky to live to tell the tale

And if I could understand
My body'd get some rest at last
Would I fight to take a stand?
I'd never look back
Never have to look out for the man

And if I could understand
My body'd get some rest at last
Would I fight to take a stand
I'd never look back
Never have to look out for the man
Said never look back
Never have to look out for the man

I was a man
Who lifted his head
When times are hard,
they grow holding in back from all that

When I was in New York
I met a girl
Left all her friends
and she's running away from all that

She ain't got worries
She lives by the ocean
And she's got all that
The one who is all that
Yeah, she's got all that

When I was in L.A.,
She drifted away
She spoke of freedom, fame and all that
She ain't got worries
She lives by the ocean
And she's got all that
The one who is all that
Yeah, she's got all that
Yeah, she's got all that

Honey, I've been thinking 'bout you
I said, honey, I said I think about you
'Cause lady, I said I don't think twice
I said, lady, I said I don't think twice

No, you don't give me lovin' when I need it real bad
You got it all messed up from the moment you had me
Lady, I got a hold on you
Cryin' lady, I got a hold on you

Honey, I said I don't look back
I said, honey, I said I don't look back
'Cause, lady, I said I don't think twice
I said, lady, I said I don't think twice

No, you don't give me lovin' when you get real mad
You got it all messed up from the moment you had me
Lady, I said I got a hold on you
Cryin' lady, I got a hold on you
