Amy MacDonald - Barrowland Ballroom lyrics

rate me

Oh the lights outside they’re as bright as the sun

They’re much brighter than anyone

Oh the girls in the queue yes they’re waiting for you

well they’re waiting for the song to be sung

And when the night turns to day and all the people go away it’s not the same

Tell me who’s to blame

And when the stars shine so bright on a cold December night

I wish that I was on the stage

Oh won’t you take a ride with me through the barrowland, a history, and I’ll sing you a song or two

People they may stop and stare but baby I just don’t care

It's only me and you

And they’ll drink and dance and don’t you know its all part of the show we go to

Maybe I should tell you

The people they may stop and stare but baby I just don’t care

But tonight, it’s only me and you

Oh nothing beats the feeling of the high barrowland ceiling

When the band starts to play

Won’t you buy me a drink and I’ll tell her what I think

If she gets in my way

And when the night turns to day and all the people go away it’s not the same

Tell me who’s to blame

And when the stars shine so bright on a cold December night

I wish that I was on the stage

Oh won’t you take a ride with me through the barrowland, a history, and I’ll sing you a song or two

People they may stop and stare but baby I just don’t care

I's only me and you

And they’ll drink and dance and don’t you know its all part of the show we go to

Maybe I should tell you

The people they may stop and stare but baby I just don’t care

But tonight, its only me and you

and when the night turns to day and the lights they fade away

(I wish that life and love would pass me by)

And when the band starts a song because there’s something going on

(well there is magic in the air I swear)

And I wish that I saw Bowie playing on that stage

I wish that I saw something to make me come of age

Oh won’t you take a ride with me through the barrowland, a history, and I’ll sing you a song or two

People they may stop and stare but baby I just don’t care

It’s only me and you

And they’ll drink and dance and don’t you know its all part of the show we go to

Maybe I should tell you

The people they may stop and stare but baby I just don’t care

But tonight, its only me and you
