Shy Boy (03:28)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
I'm sittin' in the window of a street cafe
Watchin' you walking by each day,
It seems that you always wanna look my way
Hey, you can't deny, boy,
You're such a shy boy.

So good looking you seem to be
But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me,
You could make it happen so easily
Woah, I'll tell you why boy,
'Cos I'm looking for a shy boy

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew,
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to

If this was a quiz on a TV show
And the prize was a guy who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer I know
Hey, my reply boy
Is gimme a shy boy.

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to

Some guys act a bit too sure
And maybe you're thinkin' that less is more
But Honey, you still gotta knock on my door
Hey, just try boy,
And you could be my boy
I'll tell you why boy
'Cos I'm looking for a shy boy,
Just try boy, you're such a shy boy

Nine Million Bicycles (03:15)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!

Piece by Piece (03:24)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
To your whispers in my dreams
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart
Cos your kiss
Went deeper than my skin

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

First of all must fly
My dreams of you and I
There's no point in holding on to those
And then our ties will break
For your and my own sake
Just remember
This is what you chose

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

I'll shed like skin
Our memories of lazy days
And fade away the shadow of your face

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
One at a time
One at a time

Halfway Up the Hindu Kush (03:06)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
The first time that I saw you,
I said "for goodness sake,
That man's got the power,
he's a charmer with a snake".
I was thrilled and fascinated,
but somehow liberated,
When you took me
to a place I'd never been
You showed me lots of things
I'd never seen.

You set me free,
as if you'd taken me,
Halfway up the Hindu Kush.
And I love you,
for showing me the view,
From Halfway up the Hindu Kush

The next time that I saw you,
you looked into my eyes,
I was sitting on your carpet
when I felt it begin to rise.
I kinda got the feeling,
I was floating to the ceiling,
Instead of only looking at the sky.
You picked me up
and showed me how to fly.

You set me free,
as if you'd taken me,
Halfway up the Hindu Kush.
And I love you,
for showing me the view,
From Halfway up the Hindu Kush

From Halfway up the Hindu,
From Halfway up the Hindu,
From Halfway up the Hindu Kush.

You set me free,
as if you'd taken me,
Halfway up the Hindu Kush.
And I love you,
for showing me the view,
From Halfway up the Hindu Kush.

Spider's Web (03:58)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
If a black man is racist, is it okay?
If it's the white man's racism that made him that way,
Because the bully's the victim they say,
By some sense they're all the same.

Because the line between,
Wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread,
From a spider's web.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.

I could tell you to go to war,
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more,
How do I know which is right,
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight.

Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.

Should we act on a blame?
Or should we chase the moments away?
Should we live?
Should we give?
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time.
Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

Blue Shoes (04:39)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
The tables are empty the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song it's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light one after another
Won't help you forget her and the way that you love her
You're only burning a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep the whole night you're crying
You just can't forget her soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break you're learnin' the blues

On the Road Again (04:38)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again.
Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I ain't got nobody, just to call my special friend.

You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow
in the rain and snow.
You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow
in the rain and snow.
I didn't have no payroll, not even no place to go.

And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
when I was quite young.
And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
when I was quite young.
She said Lord have mercy on my wicked one.

Well now take it from me, mamma,
Please don't you cry no more.
Take a hint from me, mamma,
Please don't you cry no more.
'Cos it's soon one morning,
down the road I'll go.

No I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
all by myself.
No I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
all by myself.
If you ain't coming with me,
Gonna take somebody els.

Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again.
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend.
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend.
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend.

Thankyou, Stars (03:39)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
Some call it faith, some call it love
Some call it guidance from above
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars

Some people think it's far away
Some know it's with them everyday
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there

To some it's the strength to be apart
To some it's a feeling in the heart
And when you're out there on your own, it's the way back home

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there

Some call it faith, some call it love
Some call it guidance from above
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars
Thank you stars
Thank you stars
Thank you stars

Just Like Heaven (03:35)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and i kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away? he said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you

You, soft and only
You,lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of me

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

I Cried for You (03:38)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you

But others pass, the never pause,
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why

I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world,
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met,
They may not know
how much you meant to me.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper

Without you now I see,
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper

I Do Believe in Love (03:00)
Katie Melua • Piece by Piece
They say we never landed on the moon
There's no wind there, they assume
I guess conspiracies are nothing new,
But I'm sure I've been there with you.

And I don't believe that in space
The only life is here on earth
How could we be the only race
That loves and hates 'til death from birth?

But I do believe in love,
Though I should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me,
But loving you.

Is it true a politician's heart
Can rust away and fall apart?
I guess it must be hard,
It must be hard,
To know what's good
and to know what's easy

You might think it's strange,
For all my wild ideas,
But I do not believe that change,
Can ever happen without tears.

But I do believe in love,
Though I should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me,
But loving you
