You Were Right Lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy

And you were right to bide your time, and not buy into my misery 

Well the good things are never free 

Do the colors of the rainbow, look the same to everyone? 

And I was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe 

Wipe the slime from off your sleeve 

You could follow me for weeks, and I'm not goin' anywhere 

Sometimes, it's hard to love someone 

Till the day, that they are gone 

And I just had a dream, the other night 

I was married to the Queen, and Madonna lived next door 

I think she took a shine to me and the kids were all grown up 

But I had to turn her down, 'cause I was still in love with you 

I'm turning Madonna down 

I'm calling it my best move 

I'll get her tickets to what she needs 

I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died 

And the night Jeff Buckley died 

And the night Kurt Cobain died 

And the night John Lennon died 

I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone 

And that was a lot of nights, and that was a lot of lives 

Who lost the tickets to what they need 

And I was busy finding answers, while you just got on with real life 

Always hoped you'd be my wife, but I never found the time 

For the question to arrive, I just disguised it in a song 

And songs are never quite the answer 

Just a soundtrack to a life, that is over all too soon 

Helps to turn the days to night 

While I was wrong and you were right 

And this was a lesson learned 

I'm happy to be your fool 

And get you tickets to what you need 

I'm turning the lights down low 

I'm ready to make my move 

I'll get you tickets to what you need
