I Can't Hear the Music - James Blunt

Is it a warning?

Is it an evil sign?

Is it a people

who have lost their mind?

Is it the darkness?

Is it a man resigned?

Is it a best friend

leaving you behind?

Is it ever gonna stop

will they ever let you go your in a rush they don’t care enough

cause there lives are very slow

time is ticking on you don’t get a second shot

and when you sell your soul

for a leading role will the lost souls be forgot

And if I can’t hear the music

And the audience is gone

I’ll dance here on my own.

And I hope the lonely hearts club band

Will play out one last song

Before the sun goes down.

And is it ending

Should it really make you sick is now the time that you realize

you better get out quick cause time is ticking on to long to fake your smile

but then you sell your soul for a leading role so wear it for a while

And if I can’t hear the music

And the audience is gone

I’ll dance here on my own.

And I hope the lonely hearts club band

Will play out one last song

Before the sun goes down.

And there she goes

and there she goes

so write

cause billy’s got himself a gun billy’s got himself a gun

and your right to be afraid they’ll send you to your grave cause your strange

And if I can’t hear the music

And the audience is gone

I’ll dance here on my own.

cause billy’s got himself a gun billy’s got himself a gun

and your right to be afraid they’ll send you to your grave cause your strange

and if i can’t hear the music and the audience is gone I’ll dance.

And is it evil?

Should it really make you sick?

Is now the time that you realize

you’d better get out quick?

And is it envy

Or pride that makes them vain?

Did you give your all

But you’re only small

And now your body’s drained?

This is never gonna stop.

They will never let you go.

You’re in a rush.

They don’t care enough.

'Cause their lives are very slow.

Time is ticking on.

Too long to fake your smile.

But then you sold your soul for a leading role

So wear it for a while.

And if I can’t hear the music

And the audience is gone

I’ll dance here on my own.

And I hope the lonely hearts club band

Will play out one last song

Before the sun goes down.

And there she goes

And there she goes

So ‘round you’ll see me run

‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun

And you’re right to be afraid

They’ll send you to your grave

‘Cause it’s strange and new

And if I can’t hear the music

And the audience is gone

I’ll dance here on my own.

And I hope the lonely hearts club band

Will play out one last song

Before the sun goes down.

And there she goes

And there she goes

So ‘round you’ll see me run

‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun

And you’re right to be afraid

They’ll send you to your grave

‘Cause it’s strange and new

So ‘round you’ll see me run

‘Cause Billy’s got himself a gun

And you’re right to be afraid

They’ll send you to your grave

‘Cause it’s strange and new

And if I can’t hear the music

And the audience is gone

I’ll dance…
