For The Love - Jamie Cullum

My head’s a TV

And you’re on every channel

Did no one ever tell you bout the dirty truth?

We’re all a bit mental

So write your history

As a pretty little work of fiction

So many bones rattle in the coffin of your youth

We’ll exhume a fable

You can, you can, you can shut your mouth

You can, you can, you can shut your mouth

'Cause everybody’s fighting battles

That you don’t know anything about

Come on, come on, take a look in my house

Every time I touch the piano I’m just full of doubts

Just another bit of secrecy

Every time you feel like giving up

Every time you’d swear you’d had enough

Just remember what you’re dreaming of

But when you do it, you do it for the love

Yeah when you do it, you do it for the love

This old sweater

Holds a trace of the bonfire

We threw your teenage diaries on to the flames

Too sad to remember

A patient memory

And a single neon tear

Watch it dance like grass in a hurricane

Through another year

I tried to hide my feelings for too long

I just wanted everyone to get along

'Cause everybody’s fight battles

Underneath another thunderstorm

Come on, come on don’t you wanna be heard

Your saviour’s just somebody who’s been under-researched

Just another bit of secrecy

Every time you feel like giving up

Every time you’d swear you’d had enough

Just remember what you’re dreaming of

But when you do it, you do it for the love

Yeah when you do it, you do it for the love

When you do it, you do it for the love

Yeah when you do it, may as well do it for the love
