You Were Right Lyrics by Badly Drawn Boy

You Were Right Lyrics

    And you,

    Were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery

    Well the good things are never free

    Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?

    And I,

    Was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe

    Wipe the slime from off your sleeve

    You could follow me for weeks

    And I'm not going anywhere

    Sometimes it's hard to love someone

    Till the day that they are gone



    And I

    Just had a dream the other night

    I was married to the Queen

    And Madonna lived next door

    I think she took a shine to me

    And the kids were all grown up

    But I had to turn her down

    'Cos I was still in love with you



    I'm turning Madonna down

    I'm calling it my best move

    I'll get her tickets to what she needs



    I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died

    And the night Jeff Buckley died

    And the night Kurt Cobain died

    And the night John Lennon died

    I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone

    And that was a lot of nights

    And that was a lot of lives

    Who lost the tickets to what they need?



    And I

    Was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life

    Always hoped you'd be my wife

    But I never found the time

    For the question to arrive

    I just disguised it in a song



    And songs are never quite the answer

    Just a soundtrack to a life

    That is over all too soon

    Helps to turn the days to night

    While I was wrong and you were right



    And this was a lesson learned

    I'm happy to be your fool

    And get you tickets to what you need



    I'm turning the lights down low

    I'm ready to make my move

    I'll get you tickets to what you need
