La Roux-Under My Thumb

Under my thumb A girl who once had me down Under my thumb The girl who once pushed me around It's down to me, me The difference in the clothes she wears Down to me, the change has come She's under my thumb Under my thumb The squirming dog who's just had her day Under my thumb A girl who has just changed her ways It's down to me, me The way she does just what she's told Down to me, the change has come She's under my thumb Under my thumb A Siamese cat of a girl Under my thumb She's the sweetest, hmm, pet in the world It's down to me, me The way she talks when she's spoken to Down to me, the change has come She's under my thumb

It's down to me, me

The way she talks when she's spoken to

Down to me, the change has come

She's under my thumb

Under my thumb

Her eyes are just kept to herself

Under my thumb

Well I, I can still look at someone else

It's down to me, me

The way she talks when she's spoken to

Down to me, the change has come

She's under my thumb

La Roux-Savior

In my ear, finally my saviour is here In my ear, finally my saviour is here I hear you call me from the other room You say my name as if you know what you’re about to do You say you’re tired and you must be leaving soon When will we ever see this through? And I continue to drown my sorrows after you are gone And look around for somebody else to hang my hopes on In fact it’s easier now that you’re not here I’m no longer missing you muttering those words in my ear In my ear, finally my saviour is here In my ear, finally my saviour is here I can’t explain the dark expression on my face to the people that I’m surrounded by You, but you understand me more than most and you let me try In fact it’s easy now In fact it’s easy now In fact it’s easy now In fact it’s easy now I’m no longer dreading you muttering those words in my ear In my ear, finally my saviour is here In my ear, finally my saviour is here In my ear, finally my saviour is here In my ear, finally my saviour is here

La Roux-Growing Pains

My heart it melts like plastic I fell through the hole yesterday Your smile pulled me in like elastic I felt my mind detonate

Oh, I've made mistakes And you just say it's just growing When I feel ashamed You tell me it's just growing pains

We broke in two like a matchstick It burns in my soul every day, every day Your world was to me, so fantastic And help seemed so far away, far away

Oh, I've made mistakes And you just say it's just growing When I feel ashamed You tell me it's just growing pains When I'm crying out for change You tell me it's just growing pains Oh, I've made mistakes And yes I know, it's growing pains

The truth it feels like concrete I drove into this wall yesterday I wish I could be realistic But my children, my dreams, went away

I know I made mistakes You say it's growing pains And when I feel ashamed You say it's growing pains And I'm crying out for change You say it's growing pains I know I made mistakes I know it's growing pains

Oh, I've made mistakes And you just say it's just growing When I feel ashamed You tell me it's just growing pains When I'm crying out for change And oh, I've made mistakes And yes I know, it's growing pains

La Roux-Armour Love

You put on your armour You put up defenses What are you on to? Cause I'm here to protect you So take it easy I make it so easy You can lay your head down And we'll leave it 'til tomorrow

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else When you leave me alone in this world you know that I'm in hell Do you know what it's like to be lonely and by yourself?

When your life is tangled You wear your disguises But what do you need to When I'm standing here beside you So take it easy I make it so easy You can lay your head down And we'll leave it 'til tomorrow

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else When you leave me alone in this world you know that I'm in hell Do you know what it's like to be lonely and by yourself?Slipping through my fingers And inside another's Tell me why won't you turn back?

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else (You know what it's like, you shouldn't have to be told) When you leave me alone in this world you know that I'm in hell (It's not enough and you're running away) Do you know what it's like to be lonely and by yourself? [repeat 2x]

La Roux-Reflections Are Protections

Please, please be my light filter Shine, make me a shelter To hide this love Makes you lose your sign Now the search rise is on its way And the flood lights are on my face All the shadows that I woke up in Are just my volatile second skin

My reflections are protections They will keep me from destruction My directions are distractions When you're ready come into the light

Lines, design a pathway Shine, cut out the dark shapes To find, although I really tried Only time is a lover's guide And now the ratings fall away And the stencils draw a face Our outlines in the sunset Are just a fragile silhouette

My reflections are protections They will keep me from destruction My directions are distractions When you're ready come into the light

My reflections are protections They will keep me from destruction My directions are distractions If you leave me, I'll go back to hide

My reflections are protections They will keep me from destruction My directions are distractions When you're ready come into the light

My reflections are protections They will keep me from destruction My directions are distractions If you leave me, I'll go back to hide

La Roux-Fascination

It's been seven hours long And you're shadow still hangs on You've been two weeks gone So tonight I'll follow you home There are so many different ways Of collecting all the strays The ones that get away

Oh, fascinations, we play New sensations Oh, fascination, it's been in my Frustration It's been in my frustrations And I haven't got the patience

These sheets are still warm This bed is our only home We make arrangements over the phone Where has all the conversation gone? There are so many different ways Of collecting all the strays The ones that get away

Oh, fascinations, we play New sensations Oh, fascination, It's been in my, frustration It's been in my, frustrations And I haven't got the patience

Frustrations, sensations, and fascinations, and fascinations Frustrations, sensations, and fascinations, and fascinations

Oh, fascination, New sensation [repeat 2x] Oh, fascinations, we play New sensations Oh, fascination, It's been in my, frustration It's been in my, frustrations And I haven't got the patience

La Roux-As If By Magic

Emerging from my world Imagine living in a box And I won't come up Until I've broken all the locks Slurring all my words Until something sticks But in this smoky universe My mind keeps playing tricks

And although, you're the only home I know As if by magic, thoughts of you are gone And now, I'm keeping my head in the clouds And it's not so tragic, if I don't look down Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oooooo [x2]

Submerging from your world And back into my bliss A day rolled into one Is burning on my lips Blurring all your words Until they don't exist And in a parallel universe It's me you can't resist

And although, you're the only home I know As if by magic, thoughts of you are gone And now, I'm keeping my head in the clouds And it's not so tragic, if I don't look down Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oooooo [x2]

And although, you're the only home I know As if by magic, thoughts of you are gone And now, I'm keeping my head in the clouds And it's not so tragic, if I don't look down Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oooooo [x2]

La Roux-Cover My Eyes

No wonder I'm scared to look in your eyes You've turned my away so many times You can take it away at any given moment It's hard to believe while you're in this disguise

So would you hold me please? I'm trying hard to breathe I'm just surviving So would you hold me please? I'm trying hard to breath Stop me from crying

When I see you walking with her I have to cover my eyes Every time you leave with her Something inside of me dies

No wonder it hurts to sit by your side (Turned me away so many times) There's a different song I can play you tonight (We don't have to sit here in silence) We can break the pattern, we can change the colour (It's just a little sacrifice) You don't need to worry about the others (It's all in your mind)

So would you hold me please? I'm trying hard to breathe I'm just surviving So would you hold me please? I'm trying hard to breath Stop me from crying

When I see you walking with her I have to cover my eyes Every time you leave with her Something inside of me dies [repeat 2x] Something inside me dies

When I see you walking with her I have to cover my eyes (cover my eyes, cover my eyes, cover my eyes) Every time you leave with her Something inside of me dies (my eyes) [repeat 2x]

La Roux-Tigerlily

Well tonight out on the streets I'm gonna follow you And tell you all about a scene that you would kill for You're gonna love what's running right in front of you But you won't see it by the light of the sun Come out tigerlily, you're caressing me I'll take you up, I'll turn you on, I'll take your apathy I wouldn't lie to you blossom, won't you let it go I'm gonna give you what you want and don't you know (That you)

I know you better than this I could be here when you call I'll make you top of the list And in the crash of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire for a kiss Psychobabble all upon your lips

They can sell it all they want but you cannot agree I don't like the taste of their morality You'll find your bread and you butter where you fake it And put your face in the gutter of a snake pit But out communication is telepathy What you give is what you get out of us naturally And we can wait 'til the shadow rolls along And turn the page of the story that has long since found a home

 I know you better than this I could be here when you call I'll make you top of the list And in the crash of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire for a kiss Psychobabble all upon your lips

Have you ever felt like you're being followed? Or watched the ones that held your stare? Turned around to see who's behind you to find there's no one there lurking in the dark is someone who breathes you night and day There's a friend who wants so much more But if they can't have you, they'll never let you walk away

And in the crash of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire for a kiss

And in the crash of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire for a kiss Psychobabble all upon your lips

La Roux-I’m Not Your Toy

Love, love is like a stubborn youth That you'd rather just deny I'm walking on a broken roof While I'm looking at the sky It's all false love and affection You don't want me You just like the attention Yes, it's all false love and affection You don't like me You just want the attention I'm not your toy This isn't another girl-meets-boy I'm not your toy This isn't another girl-meets-boy Love, love hides in a smoky light I can never find the truth Boy, your touches leave me mystified I wish I could believe in you Yes, it's all false love and affection You don't want me You just like the attention Yes, it's all false love and affection You don't like me You just want the attention I'm not your toy This isn't another girl-meets-boy I'm not your toy This isn't another girl-meets-boy Oh, oh, I'm not your toy This isn't another girl-meets-boy I'm not your toy, ohh This isn't another girl-meets-boy All false love and affection You don't want me You just like the attention Yes, it's all false love and affection You don't like me You just want the attention I'm not your toy This isn't another girl-meets-boy I'm not your toy, oh, oh This isn't another girl-meets-boy I'm not your toy, ohh This isn't another girl-meets-boy I'm not your toy, ohh This isn't another girl-meets-boy

La Roux-Quicksand

I'm the obsessor Holding your hand It seems you have forgotten About your man Alone in the darkness My bed's a different land Your touch intensifies And I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand

You're the up-setter Stroking my hand What's my position? I don't understand Am I your possesion? Am I in demand? Oh, when you turn to me I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand

You, you moved into to my mind again, oh You, you're walking around again and free, oh Oh, I can't let you stay But I'm walking on broken ground again Oh, when will I learn? All you do is push me back in the dirt

Ah, ah I'm in the quicksand Oh-oh-oh-oh I'm in the quicksand Oh-oh-oh-oh I'm in the quicksand Oh-oh-oh-oh I'm in the quicksand

La Roux-Colourless Colour

You say it's coming But I can't see it at all You know me well, but I don't know you at all No, I don't know you at all It's always just on the horizon So my hopes rise and fall You know me well, but I don't know you at all No, I don't know you at all

Early '90s decor It was the day for We wanted to play But we had nothing left to play for Colourless colour Once in fashion, soon to be scene Once in fashion, soon to be scene

Been dreaming of blue skies New horizon and sides from my eyes The discovery of the unknown Is something to tell the folks back home I want to get away To feel the sun on my skin To feel it really Sinking in

Early '90s decor It was the day for We wanted to play But we had nothing left to play for Colourless colour Once in fashion, soon to be scene Once in fashion, soon to be scene

Early '90s decor It was the day for We wanted to play But we had nothing left to play for Colourless colour Once in fashion, soon to be scene

Early '90s decor It was the day for We wanted to play But we had nothing left to play for Colourless colour Once in fashion, soon to be rediscovered

La Roux-Bulletproof

Been there, done that, messed around I'm having fun, don't put me down I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

I won't let you in again The messages I've tried to send My information's just not going in

Burning bridges shore to shore I'll break away from something more I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap

Been there, done that, messed around I'm having fun, don't put me down I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

This time, baby, I'll be

Bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof

I won't let you turn around And tell me now I'm much too proud To walk away from something when it's dead

Do, do, do your dirty words Come out to play when you are heard There's certain things that should be left unsaid

Tick, tick, tick, tick on the watch And life's too short for me to stop Oh, baby, your time is running out

I won't let you turn around And tell me now I'm much too proud All you do is fill me up with doubt

This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof

This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof

This time baby I'll be Bulletproof This time baby I'll be Bulletproof

This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof

This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof

La Roux-In For The Kill

We can fight our desires But when we start making fires We get ever so hot Whether we like it or not They say we can love who we trust But what is love without lust? Two hearts with accurate devotions And what are feelings without emotions?I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand

I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand

I hang my hopes out on the line Will they be ready for you in time If you leave them out too long They'll be withered by the sun Full stops and exclamation marks My words stumble before I start How far can you send emotions? Can this bridge cross the ocean?

I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand

I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand

Let's go to war To make peace Let's be cold To create heat I hope in darkness We can see And you're not blinded by the light from me

I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand

La Roux-The Feeling

Takin' the time to make me feel right Takin' the time to make me feel nice Can't stay up thinkin' about you all night Tossin' and turnin', it's not right Don't leave me here waiting

When it's all okay, we know, you know And I know, I've got the feelin' When I wake up and there you are I get the feelin' For you are away waiting the ball 'Cause I've got the feelin' The feelin' I get the feelin'

There's plenty of time to get me in shape I promise I'll keep the promises I made And respect along the forest, say goodbye Running away, and it's swing to comeback When you love it makes me love too I can't believe I let you get through Get through, get through

Don't leave me here waiting

When it's all okay, we know, you know And I know, I've got the feelin' When I wake up and there you are I get the feelin' For you are away waiting the ball 'Cause I've got the feelin' The feelin' I get the feelin'

On the outside I might seem strong But really, inside, I'm just alone I don't believe wherever we go I'm just a child whenever you show
