Sweet, Smiley Dido

Only Dido understands me. She's so beautifully cynical. That's the way I'd love 2 have U in my arms telling me how U love me & how U don't, but in my arms, never the less, none the less, my Yummiest!

… frowning gloomily, I'm listening to sweet, smiley Dido. At least, she makes me feel better, a bit less sweetly bitter. Smiles are contagious. Something …

Dido - White Flag (Official Video)

I know you think that
I shouldn't still love you, or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and destruction
To come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of it's over
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Dido - It Comes and It Goes (Audio)

Some days I want love and some days I don't
Sometimes I can feel it then suddenly it's gone
Some days I can tell you the truth
And some days I just don't

Only a change of mood, sun goes down
Someone says something too quick or too soon
A touch not made, one made too late
Armies of words cannot hope to contain

That it comes and it goes
And I have no control

Some days I can think clear and some days I won't
Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly it's gone
Some days I'm strong
And some days my skin's broken and thin

It arrives when it feels and takes what it needs
And it leaves before I get to know
It's only a step away moments
Then armies of words cannot hope to contain

That it comes and it goes
And I can't make it hold
And there's nothing I own
And it breaks me when it goes

Some days I want love and some days I don't
Sometimes I can feel it then suddenly it's gone
Some days I can tell you the truth
And some days I just don't

Only a change of mood, dream comes out
Someone does something too quick or too soon
A move not made, one made too late
Armies of words cannot hope to contain

That it comes and it goes
And I can't seem to hold
And there's nothing I own
And it breaks me when it goes

The Day Before The Day - Dido

Speeches won't be made today, clocks will carry on
Flowers won't be left in parks, work will still be done
People won't be dressed in black, and babies will be born
No flags will fly, the sun will rise,
But we know that you are gone

You who love to love, and believed we can never give enough

It wakes me every single night, thinking through the day
Did you stop at any time, have doubts at any stage?
Were you calm or were you numb, or happy just to get it done?
Well I've lived my life without regret, until today

You who love to love, and believed we can never give enough

I didn't get to say goodbye, the day before the day
Was trying to get to work on time, and that's why I turned away
And missed the most important thing, you've ever tried to say
Well I've lived my life without regret until today

You who love to love, and believed we can never give enough
And you who hoped that underneath, we all felt the same
That was until the day before the day
The day before the day
The day before the day
Oh, the day before the day
The day before the day
Oh, the day before the day
Oh, the day before the day
Oh, the day before the day.

Faithless - One Step Too Far (Official Video) ft. Dido

You can sleep forever, but still you will be tired
You can stay as cold as stone, but still you won't find peace
With you I feel I'm the meek leading the blind
With you I feel I'm just spending wasting time

I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm with you (with you)
It's always one step too far
One step too far

You can walk too far but still you won't be found
You can look down on the world but still you won't find love
You won't find love

Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through
Don't let nothin' ride you
If the sun or the moon would give way to doubt
They would immediately go out
Only one swallow doesn't make a summer
But you gotta start somewhere (maxi's bit)

I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm with you (with you)
It's always one step too far
One step too far

I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm with you (with you)
It's always one step too far
One step too far

Dido - Hurricanes (Official Lyric Video)

I wanna wake up
With your weight by my side
And I wanna think that
You look good as you rise
And I wanna turn to you
Turn around by your side
And I wanna think
But not to say

“Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes”

And I wanna see you
As you walk through the door
And time will make us
Some ways less and some ways more
And I wanna talk of nothing
As the world passes by
And I wanna think
But not to say

“Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes”

Let me not turn away
From happiness or pain
Just not to run away
In my heart and in my head
Let me face
Hurricanes

Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes

Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes
Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes

Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes

Dido - Walking By (Official Audio)

Keep me locked up, keep me shut in
You can but my mind still roams free
You can keep me caged, you can tell me to be quiet
But I remember everything

Please don't forget that you broke your own heart
And don't forget that you lost your mind

Please stop tellin' everybody that I did it for you
'Cause every step I take I'm always here behind you
And I don't need words or anything from you
And I wish I'd never felt it, kept on walking by
And I wish I'd never met you, kept on walking by

Keep me locked up, keep me shut in
But I remember everything

Please don't forget that you sought your own heart
And don't forget that you lost your way

Please stop tellin' everybody that I did it for you
'Cause every step I take I'm always here behind you
And I don't need words or anything from you
And I wish I'd never seen it, kept on walking by
And I wish I'd never met you, kept on walking by
And I wish I'd never tried it, kept on walking by
And I wish I'd never felt it, kept on walking by

Please stop tellin' everybody that I did it for you
'Cause every step I take I'm always here without you
And I don't need words or anything from you
And I wish I'd never met you, kept on walking by
And I wish I'd never felt it, kept on walking by
And I wish I'd never seen it, kept on walking by
And I wish I'd never met you, kept on walking by

Dido - Take You Home (Official Video)

The sun is hanging low across the street
As we're fighting, loving, talking in the heat
We’re all walking home burnt and late
Every day we'll meet, every day we'll meet
And do the same

I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can’t seem to find my own
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my way home

We could dance all night and sleep all day
Kiss and love and just walk away
Took pride in all the rules we'd disobey
Moved so slow, we didn't see a change

I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my own
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my way home
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my own
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my way home

But I can’t seem to find my way home
But I can’t seem to find my way home
But I can't seem to find my way home
But I can’t seem to find my way home
But I can't seem to find my way home

Dido - End of Night

Only now it's gone, i can see the year
See for what it was, and start another day
All the liberty you took, the love that you abused
The friends that you turned, against me if you could
And you're twisting what i say, all that saying you were scared
It doesn't matter anymore, cos i'm not there
You were careless when the beat kicked in
And careless when it left, and careless all the way
I didn't see it till the end
I feel nothing when you cry
I hear nothing see no need to replay
I can smile now and turn away
Come over here so you can see me walk away
And celebrate: the end of night, the end of night
The end of night, the end of night It
Only takes one lie to bring this house down
Behind closed doors, no one tells the first time round
The pain is worse when you bring it on yourself
The sweetest bully building, a love that couldn't last
You were ugly when the beat kicked in
And ugly when it left, and ugly all the way
Didn't see it till the end
I feel nothing when you cry
I hear nothing see no need to replay
I can smile now and turn away
Come over here so you can see me walk away
And celebrate: the end of night, the end of night
The end of night, the end of night
After the fall comes love, i hate to hate and love to love
After the fall comes love, i hate to hate and love to love
I feel nothing when you cry
I hear nothing see no need to replay
I can smile now and turn away
Come over here so you can see me walk away
And celebrate: the end of night, the end of night
The end of night, the end of night.

Dido - Still On My Mind (Official Audio)

Rolling seas, endless roads
Heading into the sun
Big skies, bigger dreams
Enough for everyone
I was brave, free of love
I wanted to travel alone
We were born in the light
I'm sorry I remembered it wrong

I'm sorry that I broke you down
I'm sorry that I thought it through
I'm sorry that I looked around
I couldn't keep up,
Not good enough

You were there when
I needed you
And without a word
Stood at my back when
I wanted you
Turned away when it hurt
You were there when
I called for you
And then I walked away
I've run so far,
But you're still on my mind
You're still on my mind

The sun began to
Burn too bright
I saw myself in the light
I opened the door
And lost the dream
I couldn't go back inside
I took a road that
Led nowhere
I didn't know that then
But I made my choice
Now I've gone too far
To come back here again

I'm sorry that I let you down
I'm sorry that I lost the way
I'm sorry that I died
And then came alive
I couldn't keep up

You were there when
I needed you
And without a word
Stood at my back when
I wanted you
Turned away when it hurt
You were there when
I called for you
And then I walked away
I've run so far, but you're
Still on my mind
You're still on my mind

You were there when
I needed you
And without a word
Stood at my back when
I wanted you
Turned away when it hurt
You were there when
I called for you
And then I walked away
I've run so far, but you're
Still on my mind
You're still on my mind

Dido - Sand In My Shoes (Video)

Two weeks away it feels like the whole world should've changed
But I'm home now
And things still look the same
I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack
Try to forget for one more night
That I'm back in my flat on the road
Where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can't watch the sunset
I don't have time
I don't have time

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanitation
Run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here
Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset
And take my time
Take all our time

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again
Two weeks away, all it takes to change and turn me around I've fallen
I walked away and never said that I wanted to see you again

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

Dido - Life for Rent

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought

If my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
And live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos, there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought

If my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield
And I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail
So I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive?

But if my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Dido - Hunter

With one light on in one room
I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair
I know your look when I get there
If you were a king up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go

The unread book and painful look
The TV's on, the sound is down
One long pause
Then you begin
Oh look what the cat's brought in
If you were a king up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go
Let me leave

For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking

I want to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go

I want to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go

Let me leave
Let me go.

Dido - Chances (Official Audio)

All I did today was wake up and watch TV
Another wasted day
But that's alright with me
When shadows turn to clouds
Good choices won't be made
Until tomorrow comes
But that's alright with me

I will stand and wait until it's morning
And I won't make it lying down
I will close my eyes so I can't see you
And I will have all my chances again
I want all of my chances again

And as the sky turns red
The streetlights coming on
I could stay up all night or go to bed
Oh, neither's right or wrong
Until tomorrow comes
Until tomorrow comes

I will stand and wait until it's morning
And I won't make it lying down
I will close my eyes so I can't see you
And I will have all my chances again
I want all of my chances again

I will stand
I will stand

I will stand and wait until it's morning
And I won't make it lying down
I will close my eyes so I can't see you
And I will have all my chances again
I want all of my chances again

Dido - Everything To Lose

I used to be so fearless so limitless and free
Happy on my own and nothing really bothered me.
I had desires to see the world, jump out of planes and fly
And I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die

I used to be so sure of things and self-contained
I could carry on with no need to explain
It didn't matter if I ever made it home
Could go too fast, and drink all night and dance alone

I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die
I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die

I used to be so thoughtless, so easy and free
Could walk away, not think ahead, and had no plans to keep.
No hand to told, no one to bring down with me.
I wouldn't see the worst and it only hurts me.

I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die

I've got everything to lose ooh, ah
Since I met you

I've got everything to lose ooh, ah
Since I met you

Dido - Some Kind of Love (Official Audio)

She found the records lying underneath the bed
All the songs she used to sing
All the songs she used to play
All those words, those melodies
And the promise of some kind of love
And the promise of some kind of love

When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever taste the same
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever feel as good again
Now I know how much the anger
However much the pain
Destroy only enough that enough still remains of
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love

The songs hadn't changed, every note just the same
When she played them once again
All those words, those melodies
Like better days past and gone, leaving her behind
With the promise of some kind of love
With the promise of some kind of love

When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever taste the same
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever feel as good again
Now I know how much the anger
However much the pain
Destroy only enough that enough still remains of
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love
Some kind of love

She put the records back in their place
And straightened her dress, and wiped her face
She closed and locked the door
And left them lying on the floor
And she sang
Mmm, some kind of love
Some kind of love, mmm
Mmm, some kind of love
Some kind of love, mmm
Mmm, some kind of love
Some kind of love

… frowning gloomily, I'm listening to sweet, smiley Dido. At least, she makes me feel better, a bit less sweetly bitter. Smiles are contagious. Something …
