London Grammar - The Greatest Love

I think I found the greatest love
From high above me
She stood by me when all was gone
And the world was so unrelenting
When they tied my hands with velvet string
They said I was worthless but worth everything
And the one who hurt me he called on the phone
Deep in the night he said are you alone?
I need you because you are a woman
And I’ll hate you because you are a woman
And I’ll love you because you are a woman
On a brighter day at the end of September
I’m finally stronger without them
Don’t let them take back the things that you need
You’re what I want not material things
They tie your hands with velvet string
They say that you’re worthless but worth everything
And the one who hurt me he called on the phone
Deep in the night he said are you alone?
I need you because you are a woman
And I’ll hate you because you are a woman
And I’ll love you because you are a woman
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ooh Yeah
I think I’ve found baby
I think I've found the greatest love
Sent from high above baby
I think I’ve found the greatest love

London Grammar - Californian Soil

I left my soul
On Californian soil
And I left my pride
With that woman by my side
I never had a willing hand
And I never had a plan
But I'm glad I found you here
But I'm glad I've got you here
But I never had a name
And I never felt the same

They keep on tryin' to end it all
And they will keep on tryin' to end it all
And they will keep on tryin' to end it all
And I never felt the same

I am young, I am old
And so you do what you're told
I never had a willing hand
And so you pack up all your bags
But I'm glad I've got you here
Well I'm glad I've got you here
But I never felt the same
And this life is just a game

They keep on tryin' to end it all
They keep on tryin' to end it all
And they will keep on tryin' to end it all
Until you never feel the same

London Grammar - Rooting For You

Let winter break
Let it burn 'til I see you again
I will be here with you
Just like I told you I would
I'd love to always love you
But I'm scared of loneliness
When I'm, when I'm alone with you

I know it's hard
Only you and I
Is it all for me?
Because I know it's all for you
And I guess, I guess
It is only, you are the only thing I've ever truly known
So, I hesitate, if I can act the same for you
And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you
And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you

And where did she go?
Truth left us long ago
And I need her tonight because I'm scared of loneliness with you, baby
And I should let it go
But all that is left is my perspective, broken and so left behind again

I know it's hard
Only you and I
Is it all for me?
Because I know it's all for you
And I guess, I guess
It is only, you are the only thing I've ever truly known
So, I hesitate, if I can act the same for you
And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you
And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you

London Grammar - If You Wait

To treasure gold is fun
Brother, drop your bag at once
From the air to the people
A mass to take you on
From a clock to the past
A future that I own
And to find just one other
Seems to be the goal of everyone
From the search to the hurt
I believed I could take you on
We would drink, we would dance
And you would watch me whenever you want

And can you give me, everything
Everything, everything
'Cause I can't give you anything
And if you wait, if you wait
I will trust in time that we will meet again
If you wait

If letters spell out words, son
You chose to put them in order, didn't you
From the meaning, the moment you tried to take me on
From the air to the room a bed that I own

And can you give me everything,
Everything, everything
'Cause I can't give you anything
And if you wait, if you wait
I will trust in time that we will meet again
If you wait
I will trust in time that we will meet again

London Grammar - All My Love

Oh darling, I see all of your colour
Drain from you
Oh darling, I feel off your energy
As it starts to fade from you

And I see all your shadow in pieces on the floor
People, they want more from you and
I see your shadow

All my love
All my love

Oh, ever since I was a child with you
I kept a place in my heart safe for you

In your mind
In your mind

All my love
All my love

All my love
My love
My love
All my love
My love
My love

London Grammar - Bones Of Ribbon

Take my efforts high above red hues
Bones of ribbon don't stop me now
Whites went blue, then went yellow
Feet don't stop me now
They found me there in the sands, mmm
Bones of ribbon in my hands
Whites went blue, then went yellow
Pull off the cloak, time off the wall

Take determination
Take whatever you need
'Cause your body's made of metal
And your skin, it isn't real

Found me there in the sands
Bones of ribbon in my hands
Whites went blue, then went yellow
Please don't stop me now

Take determination
Take whatever you need
'Cause your body's made of metal
And your skin, it isn't real

They found me there in the sands
Bones of ribbon in my hand
Whites went blue, and then went yellow
And your feet don't stop me now

Feet don't stop me now

Well you know when you know, hey
Oh no, do you know it enough, hey
You won't know 'till you know it enough
You won't know 'till you know you know it enough
Feet don't stop me now
Feet don't stop me now

London Grammar - Strong

Excuse me for a while
While I'm wide-eyed
And I'm so damn caught in the middle
I've excused you for a while
While I'm wide-eyed
And I'm so down caught in the middle

And a lion, a lion roars would you not listen?
If a child, a child cries would you not forgive them?

Yeah, and man seem so strong
Yeah, man speak so long
Man never been so wrong
Yeah, and man seem so strong
Yeah, and man speak so long
Man never been so wrong

Excuse me for a while,
Turn a blind eye
With a stare caught right in the middle
Have you wondered for a while
I have a feeling deep down
You're caught in the middle?

London Grammar - America

And I hope that you find it, all that you need
I hope that you stay young and wild and free
You'll have America
And I hope that you're better than all of your friends
I hope that they hold you until the end
You can have America

But all of our time chasing America
Though she never had a home for me
All of our time chasing a dream
A dream that meant nothing to me

And see where I found you, where they all lay
All of the greats, they are here to stay
Here in America
And I hope that you're finding, all that you are
I hope that it sets you up high, oh-oh, oh-oh
In the heart of America

But all of our time chasing America
But she never had a home for me
All of our time chasing a dream
A dream that meant nothing to me

And all the parties they fade
And yes my looks they'll go away
I'll just be left here in America
But she never had a home for me

London Grammar - Big Picture

Love, what did you do to me?
My only hope is to let life stretch out before me
And break me on this lonely road
I'm made of many things, but I'm not what you are made of

Only now do I see the big picture
But I swear that these scars are fine
Only you could have hurt me in this perfect way tonight
I might be blind, but you've told me the difference
Between mistakes and what you just meant for me

Don't say you ever loved me
Don't say you ever cared
My darkest friend

Words
Have you forgotten
All the lies you left there, so fresh
Turning old in the air
And now, you have no weapons
You can try to get close to those I love
Do you really think they don't know what you're made of?

Only now do I see the big picture
But I swear that these scars are fine
Only you could have hurt me in this perfect way tonight
I might be blind but you've told me the difference
Between mistakes and what you just meant for me

Don't say you ever loved me
Don't say you ever cared
My darkest friend

London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years

You crossed this line
Do you find it hard to sit with me tonight?
I've walked these miles but I've walked 'em straight lined
You'll never know what was like to be fine

I'm wasting my young years
It doesn't matter if...
I'm chasing old ideas
It doesn't matter if...

Maybe...
We are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years
Maybe...
We are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years

Don't you know that it's only fear
I wouldn't worry, you have all your life
I've heard it takes some time to get it right

I'm wasting my young years
It doesn't matter if...
I'm chasing old ideas
It doesn't matter if...

Maybe...
We are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years
Maybe...
We are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years

I don't know what you want
Don't leave me hanging on
Don't know what you want
Don't leave me hanging on

London Grammar - Lord It's a Feeling

I saw the way you made her feel like she should be somebody else
I saw the way she tried to hold you when your heart was just a shell
I saw the words she wrote that broke my heart, it was a living hell
I saw the way you laughed behind her back when you fucked somebody else

I saw the way you made her feel like she should be somebody else
I know you think the stars align for you and not for her as well
I understand I can admit that I have felt those things myself
I saw the way you laughed behind her back when you fucked somebody else

Lord, it's a feeling
It comes to find you
Lord, it's a feeling
That I felt

If it's convenient for you, you want her love, she'll give you more
That's when your words are so convincing say you'll try until she's sure
That you will change, I can admit that I have been right there before
But on that morning when you're proud, you said, "I fucked somebody of course"

Lord, it's a feeling
It comes to find you
Lord, it's a feeling
(That I've felt)
It comes to find you
(Like no one else)

When the rest of us have nothing left
She won't be yours

Lord, it's a feeling
That I've felt
Lord, it's a

Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you

Lord, it's a feeling
That I've felt
It comes to find you
Like no one else

When the rest of us have nothing left
She won't be yours
When the rest of us have nothing left
She won't be yours

London Grammar - Hell To The Liars

Hell to the liars
Here's to you and me
Hell to the best of us
Here's to you and me

Hell to the righteous ones
Here's to them
The grey-suited walkers
Prestigious men

Here's to the things you love
Here's to those you fight enough
Hell to the rest of us
Here's to the things you love
Here's to the things you love

Those who are born with love
Here's to you trying
And I'm no better than those I judge
With all my suffering

Hell to the liars
Here's to you and me
I look way above us
Seeing no one free

Here's to the things you love
Here's to those you fight enough
Hell to the rest of us
Here's to the things you love
Here's to the things you love

Here's to the things you love
Here's to those you fight enough
Hell to the rest of us
Here's to the things you love
Here's to the things you love

London Grammar - Nightcall

I’m giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel
I’m gonna drive you through the night down the hills
I’m gonna tell you something you don’t want to hear
I’m gonna show you where it’s dumped but have no fear

There’s something inside you
It's hard to explain
There’s something inside you, boy
And you’re still the same

I’m giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel
I’m gonna drive you through the night down the hills
I’m gonna tell you something you don’t want to hear
I’m gonna show you where it’s dumped but have no fear

There’s something inside you
It's hard to explain
They’re talking about you, boy
But you’re still the same

Tell you how,
Tell you how,
Tell you how.

I’m giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel
I’m gonna drive you through the night down the hills
I’m gonna tell you something you don’t want to hear
I’m giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel and how I feel
