Words and music by Roddy Frame
All the madness in the mirror,
The tremblin' and the tears.
It takes a long time comin' out,
It's comin' out of here.
I've been wandering your London town,
And it's wearin' out my shoes.
It's a long road comin' down,
Comin' down with the blues.
But when you hold me and really make love to me,
I know that love is true forgiveness.
Time on my mind is time spent with you,
But it's time that I can't find,
With the Notting Hill blues.
Lovers pass me on the gate,
Like distant cousings, removed,
Holding hands, it seems like an act of fate,
And I'm almost moved.
But love has left me standing still,
With no directions and no clues,
No speech to let my feelings loose.
A celebration of the blues.
But when you hold me and really make love to me,
I know that love is true forgiveness.
Out on the road I was down with the crew,
Now I'm all alone, on the run,
With the Notting Hill blues.
And it's a lonely, lonely time,
Sadness preys upon my mind,
A telephone and a bottle of booze,
But who do you call? when your tongue tied,
Up all night.The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kind of girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
It's not the things you do
That tease and hurt me bad
But it's the way you do
The things you do to me
I'm not the kind of girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn
I'm not the kind of girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but im holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn
I'm not the kind of girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number One, Number one Number one
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
