Left Of The Middle (1998)












Torn lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry

Well, you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore

There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light

But you crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care, I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn

There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn

One More Addiction lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

First the good news
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
Under we go
So slow
And you're hanging onto me

And I say
One more addiction in my world
One more connection to let go
Floating 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
and 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

And I say
One more addiction in my world
One more connection to let go
Floating down the river
Out of sight forever
From my world

It's the only thing I know how to do

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

One more addiction in my world
One more connection to let go
Floating down the river
Out of sight forever
From my world

One more addiction in my world
One more connection to let go
Floating down the river
Out of sight forever
From my world

It's the only thing I know how to do [4x and ad-libs]

'Cause I'd forget you

Big Mistake lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

There's no sign on the gate
And there's mud on your face
Don't ya think it's time we re-investigate this situation
Put some fruit on your plate

You forgotten
How it started
Close your eyes
Think of all the bubbles of love we made

And you're down on your knee
It's too late
Oh don't come crawlin'
And you lie by my feet
What a big mistake
I see you fallin'

Got a buzz in my head
And my flowers are dead
Can't figure out a way to rectify this situation
Don't believe what you said

You forgotten
How it started
Close your eyes
Think of all the bubbles of love we made

And you're down on your knee
It's too late
Oh don't come crawlin'
And you lie by my feet
What a big mistake
I see you fallin'

I could sting like a bee
Careful how you treat me
Baby don't think I'll accept your sorry invitation
Close the door as you leave

You forgotten
How it started
Close your eyes
Think of all the bubbles of love we made

And you're down on your knee
It's too late
Oh don't come crawlin'
And you lie by my feet
What a big mistake
I see you fallin'

And you cry over me
I can't wait
I feel you stallin'
And you try to reach me
What a big mistake
I hear you callin'

And you're down on your knee
It's too late
Oh don't come crawlin'
And you lie by my feet
What a big mistake
I see you fallin'

Leave Me Alone lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

I ask you to hold me,
But you don't wanna hold me,
It don't work like that
I want you to love me,
But you don't wanna love me,
I'm losing patience now

Oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
Stop asking for more
I'm goin' home on my own
Oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone

You like me to stroke you
Careful I don't choke you,
Did you read my mind
You say, "Don't be blue."
Is that the best you can do
I've lost my patience now

Oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
Stop asking for more
I'm goin' home on my own
Oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone

Oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
Stop asking for more
I'm goin' home on my own
Oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own

Oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
Stop asking for more
I'm goin' home on my own
Oh leave me alone (oh leave me alone)
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own

Intuition lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

Everybody's been in my face
Tellin' me I gotta make a change
All I ever hear day and night
Is "you better hurry up and get a life"

I need some direction
'Cause the clock is ticking away

Then a friend of a friend of mine
Says I've really been on his mind
Find wants to go out and check out
What the feelings about

Says we have a deep connection
Well it sure is news to me

And all can I say is

Intuition tells me how to live my day
Intuition tells me when to walk away
Could have turned left
Could have turned right
But I ended up here
Bang in the middle of real life

Then another one always says
She'd do anything to get ahead
Doesn't care if she has to scratch and claw
To get in the door

She wants her 15 minutes of fame
And 20 would be nice
But I guess it's her life

'Cause intuition tells me that I'm doin' fine
Intuition tells me when to draw the line
Could have turned left
Could have turned right
But I ended up here
Bang in the middle of real life

Should have turned left but I turned right
And I ended up here and I feel alright

You make it hard for me
Can't find the real you
You really think that I can't see
What it is that you're trying to do

And all I can say is

Intuition tells me how to live my day
Intuition tells me when to walk away
Could have turned left
Could have turned right
But I ended up here
Bang in the middle of real life

Should have turned left but I turned right
And I ended up here and I feel alright
I feel alright
I feel alright
'Cause I feel alright
I feel alright
'Cause I feel alright

Smoke lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

My lullaby,
Hung out to dry
What's up with that
It's over

Where are you dad
Mum's looking sad
What's up with that
It's dark in here

Why, bleeding is breathing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing
I used to

My mouth is dry
Forgot how to cry
What's up with that
You're hurting me

I'm running fast
Can't hide the past
What's up with that
You're pushing me

Why, bleeding is breathing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing
I used to

I used to

Why believing is breathing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing
I saw you crawling on the floor

Why, bleeding is believing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Why, bleeding is believing
I saw you crawling to the door

Why, bleeding is believing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing
I saw you falling on the floor

Pigeons And Crumbs lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

Gotta get back
Gotta figure out a way
I'm losing my senses to you
Where'd it go?
The bluebird I should follow back home?
But where is home?

Guess it won't amount to much
Won't be long before I crush
I'll stand in line

Don't believe a thing they say,
Today
Seems we all get lost amongst
The pigeons and the crumbs

All alone
But I'm in a crowded room
I'm sinking in quicksand tonight
You pick me up
And I shine across the sky
'Til morning, then you color me in

Guess it won't amount to much
Seems to me I've lost my touch
I'm back in line

Don't believe a thing they say
Today
Turn around and walk away
Everything will go your way,
I pray
Seems we all get lost amongst
The pigeons and the crumbs

Gotta get it in time
Gotta get it last time

Don't believe a thing they say
Today
Turn around and walk away
Everything will go your way,
I pray
Seems we all get lost amongst
The pigeons and the crumbs

Don't believe a thing they say
Today
Turn around and walk away
Everything will go your way,
I pray
Seems we all get lost amongst
The pigeons and the crumbs

Don't You Think lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

Ignore reality
There's nothing you can do about it

Some people don't worry about nothing
Don't know what's going on
I'm not one who can't say they're sorry
I just care what's going on

There's more important things than making sure your watch looks just right
And second hand opinions don't make you look any smarter

Don't you think don't you think
Don't you think that maybe it's time
Yes it's time
Time you started thinking [4x]
Don't just sweeten up the taste

Brother shoots brother, but meanwhile
You're fixing up your face

You're not affected by the truth unless it's on your doorstep
Deodorize your paradise, no point in getting crazy

Don't you think don't you think
Don't you think that maybe it's time
Yes it's time

Time you started thinking 'bout things in the back of your head
Someone said before you turn a blind eye
Hear a bell ring sex sells everything
But I don't buy it so don't try it

Sleeping in the small world head in the sand
Better wash your hands, make a new plan
There's more important things
Than making sure your shoes walk just right

[3x]
Ignore reality
There's nothing you can do about it

The clothes you wear don't make the man
It's just another party

Don't you think don't you think
Don't you think that maybe it's time

Don't you think don't you think
Don't you think that maybe it's time
Time you started thinking

Don't you think
(there's more important things than making sure your watch looks just right)
Don't you think
(and second hand opinions don't make you look any smarter)
Time to start again
(you're not affected by the truth unless it's on your doorstep)
Don't you think
(deodorize your paradise, no point in getting crazy)

Yes it's time
Time you started thinking [5x]

Impressed lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

Sweet confetti out looking for a saviour
Finding it hard to break the chain
Nothing ventured nothing gained

Ice cream beauty acting on her best behavior
Finding it hard to bite her tongue
Feeling so old as the night is young

Six foot leaning on a lizard chest
Two red dragons ironed on his vest
All that money you deserve the best
I'm impressed, I'm impressed, I'm impressed

What you've got isn't all that you've been given
Changing your body like you change your jeans
Nothing is ever as seems

Something tells me it's a marriage made in heaven
Stealing your look from a magazine
Playing the part from a movie scene

Six foot leaning on a lizard chest
Two red dragons ironed on his vest
All that money you deserve the best
I'm impressed, I'm impressed, I'm impressed

Everyday is like your birthday
But the candle's burning, don't you see, don't you see

Six foot leaning on a lizard chest
Two red dragons ironed on his vest
All that money you deserve the best
I'm impressed, I'm impressed, I'm in—

Six foot leaning on a lizard chest
Two red dragons ironed on his vest
All that money you deserve the best
I'm impressed, I'm impressed, I'm impressed

I'm impressed
I'm impressed
Don't like you
But I'm impressed
I'm impressed
Don't like you
But I'm impressed

Don't like you
But I'm impressed
But I'm impressed
I'm impressed
I'm impressed

I'm impressed
I'm impressed
I'm impressed
Don't like you
But I'm impressed

I'm impressed
I'm impressed
I'm impressed
I'm impressed
I'm impressed
I'm impressed
I'm impressed
Don't like you
I'm impressed

Wishing I Was There lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

Take your hand and place it in my pocket
Flick your eyes back in their sockets
Put those thoughts away
Sometimes they're much too loud

I'll take a breath and cradle your sweet head
Should've stayed at home in bed
Put that face away
I'm melting for you

I know
I get cold
'Cause I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident-prone
Me,
I get free
Every night the moon is mine

But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there

I dreamt about another girl in bed with you
You just laughed and smiled denied the proof
We're fine 'til I think of the problem

I wish it made sense like a joke that no one gets
It's a life without regret
I want it to feel that way, forever and ever

I know
I get cold
'Cause I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident-prone
Me
I get free
Every night the moon is mine

But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there

Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you

No, don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you

Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you

Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I...

City lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

Had a dream, had a drowning dream
I was in a river of pain
Only difference this time
I wasn't calling out your name

Has it ended before it's begun?
You hold on and I try to run

But anybody heading in my direction
Away from the city?
Anybody wanna change the way they feel?
Step inside
Doesn't really matter where you wanna take me
Away from the city

I wanna start again
I wanna start again
I wanna take it back
I wanna start again

I wanna start again

Funny how those friends forget you
When you tire of their games
You miss a show or a party that blows
And they've forgotten your name

And you wonder what you've become
They pull you back when you try to run

Well, anybody heading in my direction
Away from the city?
Anybody wanna change the way they feel?
Step inside
Doesn't really matter where you wanna take me
Away from the city

I wanna start again
I wanna start again
I wanna take it back
I wanna start again

I wanna start again

I left the me I used to be
I wanna see this through
I left the me I used to be
If only you'd see it too

Well, I wonder what you've become
You pull me back when I try to run

Well, anybody heading in my direction
Away from the city?
Anybody wanna change the way they feel?
Step inside
Doesn't really matter where you wanna take me
Away from the city

I wanna start again
I wanna start again
I wanna take it back
I wanna start again

Left Of The Middle lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

End of the third round
As I put the phone down
Chasing the same lines
Over the old ground

I'm pushing zero
Where is my hero?
He's out there somewhere
Left of the middle

And your world falls down
And you're there calling out
But it's something I can't say
Though it seems the only way
But it's a game that I can't play
Not today

I got my ticket
And I got a straight road
But I'm passing the same signs
Over and over

And my world falls down
And I'm there calling out
But it's something I can't say
Though it's seems the only way
But it's a game that I can't play
Not today

And my world falls down
And you're there calling out
But it's something I can't say
Though it's seems the only way
But it's a game that I can't play
Not today

I need to tell you
Trying to get through
It's not always easy
Left of the middle
