What can I say? What can I do?
Nothing ever works out when I try to please you
Tongue tie,d brain fried, I'll put the kettle on
Where did I go? Who did I see?
When and where and why and what's the matter with me?!
On trial? No denial, I'll put the kettle on
Fancy a coffee, fancy a tea?
Make us some jam bütties
and some Wensleydale cheese
Time out, no doubt
Meet me in the kitchen and we’ll bang it all out
Oh, and...
I'll put the kettle on, the devil be gone
My luvly kettle’s on
I'll put the kettle on
Fire up the kettle, Goddess of Metal
Everythin's betta
When she's steaming and singing and hot!
Take out the cat, take out the bin
Backed into a corner here we are once again
Hold on, wait a tic!
I need to think a bit
Fire up the coals. Mind how you go, Pet
The Queen of Arbitration is about to hold Court
So, when we’ve gone crackers
Barking mad knackered
A stonking proppa cuppa
Will never interrupt ya, oh and...
I'll put the kettle on, the devil be gone
My wicked kettle’s on
I'll put the kettle on
Fire up the kettle, Goddess of Metal
Everythin's betta
When she's gleaming and dreaming and singing and steaming and bright!
I'll put the kettle on (All we need is nuffing too posh)
My lovely kettle (No crystal, no linen, no clever clogs)
We love you kettle (Faerie cakes, an egg, and a tea)
Almighty kettle (The perfect morning for me)
I'll put the kettle on (All we need is nuffing too posh)
My lovely kettle (No crystal, no linen, no clever clogs)
We love you kettle (Faerie cakes, an egg, and a tea)
Almighty kettle (The perfect morning for me)
Life would be grander
If we all put that bloody kettle on!
(Steady on, Guvnor!)
Fire up the kettle, Goddess of Metal
Everythin's betta'
When she's steaming and singing and hot!

It's a perfect day for a hike
A cool breeze brushes my hair
Moos, barks, bleats, chirps, and tweets
It's a perfect day for a hike
From Herefordshire to Gloucestershire
And the County of Worcestershire
From Shropshire Hills to Lickey Hills
The toposcope shows us the way
Forever stands in front of you
From way up here on the pike
English perfection in every direction
It's a perfect day for a hike
To the top, to the top of the Great Malvern Hills
A panorama of nature’s patchwork quilts
So beautiful, so historical
The trek up is hard
But the view's your reward
Beacon Hill is nearby
Reach up and touch the sky!
Take the 1:15 from Paddington
Gary will pick us up in his taxi, then
We’ll walk, run, bike, or horseback, or trike
Come and ride in my Morgan if you like
To the top, to the top of the Great Malvern Hills
A panorama of nature’s patchwork quilts
So beautiful, so historical
The trek up is hard
But the view's your reward
Beacon Hill is nearby
Reach up and touch the sky!

So nice to hear from you
We were many years overdue
I think of you every now and again
I regret how it had to end
We could’ve done better
But we were so young, not quite as clever
Now I see we misunderstood
I’d go back and change if I could
And with these few simple words
You shift me into reverse
I’m getting all choked up
Like when we first broke up
I hear the sound of your voice
Whisper I was always your first choice
It was a Wait! What? No way!
Moment for real
I can’t believe my ears
Knock me down with a feather
I never ever ever
Would’ve guessed in a million years
That you would say to me
That I would always be
Your first choice, your first choice
That I would always surely be your first
How could I possibly have known?
Love would continue to grow
To think that I still had a chance
of saving our romance
Now I hear the sound of your voice
Whisper I was always your first choice
It was a Wait! What? No way!
Moment for real
I can’t believe my ears
Knock me down with a feather
I never ever ever
Would’ve guessed in a million years
That you would say to me
That I would always be
Your first choice, your first choice
That I would always surely be your first
You were a goddess
Beautiful and flawless
First love’s kiss
Doesn’t get any better than this!
It was a Wait! What? No way!
Moment for real
I can’t believe my ears
Knock me down with a feather
I never ever ever
Would’ve guessed in a million years
That you would say to me
That I would always be
Your first choice, your first choice
That I would always surely be your first
And now I’m back at the end of the line again

Your calendar's blank
And the weeks fly by too fast
It’s hard to see tomorrow
When you’re focused on the past
In the time it takes a dream
to be shattered just like glass
That’s the time to piece it back together
And build it to last
It's rough down in the trenches
When all you can see are dark skies
Between flashes of inspiration
and desperation cries
There are no fairy godmothers
No magic carpet rides
It’s time to raise the curtain
And step into the lights
Oh, I love to make you laugh
I adore that special smile
Save this snow globe moment
Shake this snow globe moment upside down
Sometimes it feels like we’re winning
But our chances forever thinning
Opportunities slipping away
Someday we’ll be reminiscing
and certain to be missing
the time we share today
Oh, I love to make you laugh
I adore that special smile
Save this snow globe moment
Shake this snow globe moment upside down
We are free to live
We are free to love
We are free to turn this snow globe
Right-side up
Oh, I love to make you laugh
I adore that special smile
Save this snow globe moment
Shake this snow globe moment upside down
Let it snow!

She keeps herself to herself
Never comes out of her shell
Cuz she's a party of one, can't you see?
She doesn't want your attention
Oh, did I just mention?
Need to leave her alone - she's with me!
She's got her head in the clouds
She doesn't do crowds
She needs to get away from you
She doesn't crave the limelight
She's her own meteorite
On a mission, her aim is true
Oh oh oh say can’t you see
That girl means everything to me?
She makes me so dizzy
I’m wonderin’ is she
Looking for someone like me
I'll take her under my wing
And promise outrageous things
We'd be so happy it might make you puke
We'll keep ourselves to ourselves
With inspirational spells
The two of us will look so damn cute!
The two of us will look so damn cute!
Maybe I'm the one she wasn't waiting for
She doesn't even know I exist
Someday I plan to ask her out
Of this I don’t have any doubt
But first I need to find out what her name is
So, take a hike and goodnight
She'll never kiss you goodbye
You don’t deserve her but neither do I
Oh oh oh say can’t you see
That girl means everything to me?
She makes me so dizzy
I’m wonderin’ is she
Looking for someone like me
Oh oh oh say can’t you see
That girl means everything to me?
She makes me so dizzy
& now that she’s with me
Guess we can be so happy!
Guess we can be so happy!

She said come with me
Back to a time when Waltz was king
When dancing was glorious
Back one hundred years
All in one magical night
We could be stars
Just the two of us
May i have this waltz?
No, we won't touch ground
Or make a sound
We’re lighter than air
When you Waltz me
The music calls me
Haunts me, taunts me
Violins, roses, and chandeliers
She said here we are
In the grandest of ballrooms
Strauss lives on
In three quarter time
Gown and tux in flight
In perpetual rotation
Ladies are grace
The men are precision
May i have this waltz?
No, we won't touch ground
Or make a sound
We’re lighter than air
When you Waltz me
The music calls me
Haunts me, Taunts me
Violins, roses, and chandeliers
When you Waltz me
The music calls me
Magic 1-2-3, Magic 1-2-3
Wir tanzen durch die Sterne!
[we're dancing through the stars]

Three hundred and sixty paths to choose from
Radiating out from your front door
Time to pack, to put your travelin’ shoes on
Start right here when you're ready to see The World
Courage marks your journey on a map
Dreams are fuel that make each moment count
You can't get "lost” you'll find there's only overlap
From where you meant to go to what you found
And you will return with more than you packed
New vistas, new insights, new "you" in fact
Bring them back with you
Home will never look the same
When you've seen it
When you've seen it
Through the eyes of The World
Home will never look the same
After you've seen it through the eyes of The World
All the books you've read and all the films you know
Don't compare to being there on your own
What's it like to stand on the other side of the globe
Could be the best sensation you've ever known
And you will return with more than you packed
Back home again on your side of the globe
Stand on top of The World
Home will never look the same
When you've seen it
When you've seen it
Through the eyes of The World
Home will never look the same
After you've seen it through the eyes
Through the eyes of The World

Ya know my woman, she's so good lookin'
Make your eyes pop right out yo head
And my house is like Buckingham Palace
Need a map to find the way back to my bed
I got a gold-plated Bentley
Right here in my garage incident'ly
I've got so much money
I can't spend it fast enough
I've got to grab me some heartache
Some despair to make me tough (mercy!)
Some pet peeve to complain about
Somethin' to make me stomp and shout
So let me have three wishes
Rub the lamp, light the fuse
Yes, I could be so happy
If I could only sing the Blues
Well, I got twenty-seven guitars
Some drums and a big ol' piana (yes I do!)
But I wish I'd been born in a hurricane
Or way down south, Louisiana
No gypsy woman gave my mama advice
No rattlesnake ever bit me twice (I told you so!)
So let me drown in sorrow
And help me feel some pain
Oh, I could be so happy
If I could sing the Blues again
Just like Billie and Ella and `Retha and Muddy
Like Hooker and Booker and BB and Buddy
Jimi and Willie and Stevie Ray, Janis and Fats
Oh if I could only learn to sing like them cats!
So, let me have three wishes
Rub the lamp, light the fuse
Yea, I could be so happy
If I could only sing the Blues
Oh yeah, I could do some Howlin’
If I could only sing the Blues

Can ya picture that big white house with the green tin roof
Thinking `bout the summers of our youth
We could be anything we wanted to dream
Fifty-seven steps from the front porch swing
To the pump `round back where the water used to spring
Gramma, Grampa, waving from the front gate
Generations grow from this family of eight
Not enough room but nobody grumbles
Cousins by the dozens, aunts & uncles
Nieces & nephews, brothers & sisters
Moms & dads, and a cat with whiskers
Can ya see that big white house with the green tin roof
Thinking about the summers of our youth
We could be anything we wanted to dream
In that big house down by the stream
And the children of the children of our children will wish
Someday they could see just what they missed
In Gramma's kitchen, biscuits and sorghum
In Grampa's woodshop, making stuff for `em
No better neighbors could you ever find
No better town to bring peace of mind
Best summer ever under that roof
Happy and cozy, cool and rustproof
Have you heard the story of that legendary day?
A day when Grampa must've been away
Uncle Bob "borrowed" the Plymouth for a ride
Watch out boys, he ain’t old enough to drive
It’s a miracle there weren’t any car wrecks
He made the Lebanon Run in less than 12 parsecs
He must've been flyin'! Whoa, he must've got a hidin'!
Oh, lawdy. He was flyin!!!!!
And we wanna go back to that white house with the green tin roof
Thinking `bout the summers of our youth
We could be anything we wanted to dream
In that big house down by the stream
We're good folk, yes, we're good folk, yeah!
Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea

Our love is legendary
This ain’t no ordinary romance
We’ll be heroes of the hour
Love is our superpower, let’s dance
I’m workin’ on the script
And some angles to depict
The blazing fire we lit
And the secrets that we hid
But what everybody wants to
Everybody wants to know is:
Who the stars will be
Who they gonna get to play us on the big screen?
An epic action romcom fantasy
Better be A-listers or superstar potentials
So, who they gonna get to play us on the TV?
So, let’s spice up the drama
The Academy will nominate us
We’ll need a car chase and some zombies
With Kung Fu Cowboy Bobbies
And a whole lotta cool sh!t blowin’ up
Who they gonna get to play us on the big screen?
An epic action romcom fantasy
Better be A-listers, like you two could be sisters
So, who they gonna get to play us on the TV?
We'll clean up at the Awards
Land a hot new brand to endorse
Talk show hosts will sing our praise
While we bask in adulation
We'll direct our admiration
To the stars who will take our place
After the studio makes its designation
Who they gonna get to play us on the big screen?
An alien starship tear jerk mystery
We can stop all this dreamin’
Can’t wait to be streamin’ Yeah
Who they gonna get to play us on
the big big big big screen?
Well, maybe we’ll just watch it on our phones
