Amy Winehouse BBC One Sessions

DRUMBEAT, CHEERING

This programme contains some strong language.

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Amy Winehouse!

CHEERING

Hello. All right?

# You're just a little boy underneath that hat

# You need the nerve to hide your ego

# Don't come with that

# You think everything is given to you free

# But it's not that easy, no

# I gotta know you now

# We may never meet again

# I gotta know you now and then

# My girl says I'm too sensitive to run with you

# But I'm not listening to her, oh-oh-oh

# Yes, I'm perceptive

# So when I'm done with you

# You'll wish your head was back the way it were

# As you were

# I gotta know you now

# We may never meet again

# I gotta know you now and then

# Ba-ba-dee, oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh

# Oh, no, I'm not ruling you out

# I am just in doubt

# As to what you say you're all about, whoa-oh-oh

# I gotta know you now

# We may never meet again

# I gotta know you now

# I gotta know you now

# We may never meet again

# I gotta know you now

# We may never meet again

# I gotta know you now

# We may never meet again

# I gotta know you now

# We may never meet aga-a-ain. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

PIANO CHORD

DRUMBEAT

# All I can ever be to you Is the darkness that we knew

# And this regret I got accustomed to

# Once it was so right

# When we were at our high

# Waiting for you in the hotel at night

# I knew I hadn't met my match

# But every moment we could snatch

# I don't know why I got so attached

# It's my responsibility

# You don't owe nothing to me

# But to walk away, I have no capacity

# He walks away, the sun goes down

# He takes the day, but I am grown

# And in your way

# In this blue shade

# My tears dry on their own

# I don't understand

# Why do I stress a man

# When there's so many bigger things at hand?

# We could've never had it all

# We had to hit a wall

# So this is inevitable withdrawal

# Even if I stop wanting you

# And perspective pushes through

# I'll be some next man's other woman soon

# Not gonna play myself again

# I should just be my own best friend

# Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

# He walks away The sun goes down

# He takes the day But I am grown

# And in your way In this blue shade

# My tears dry on their own

# So we are history Your shadow covers me

# The sky above, ablaze

# He walks away

# The sun goes down

# He takes the day but I am grown

# And it's OK, in this blue shade

# My tears dry on their own

# I wish I could say no regrets

# And no emotional debts

# But as we kiss goodbye, the sun sets

# So we are history

# Your shadow covers me

# The sky above ablaze that only lovers see

# He walks away

# The sun goes down

# He takes the day but I am grown

# And it's OK, in this blue shade

# My tears dry on their own

# He walks away

# The sun goes down

# He takes the day but I am grown

# And it's OK, in this blue shade

# My tears dry

# Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

# He walks away

# The sun goes down

# He takes the day but I am grown

# And it's OK, in this blue shade

# My tears dry on their own. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thank you!

How are you tonight, are you OK?

CHEERING

Whoo!

I'm trying to find my dad cos it's quite a small venue

so I think I might be able to...

pick my dad out if he's here.

-Oh, look at that. What was I gonna say....

-WOMAN: We're here!

Er...

-WOMAN: I'm here!

-Yeah.

Yeah, thanks for coming.

APPLAUSE, WHOOPING

# Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard

# Your rolled-up sleeves And your skull T-shirt

# You say "What did you do with him today?"

# He'll sniff me out like I was Tanqueray

# Cos you're my fella, my guy

# Hand me your Stella and fly

# By the time I'm out the door

# You tear men down like Roger Moore

# I cheated myself

# Like I knew I would

# I told you I was trouble

# You know that I'm no good

# Upstairs in bed

# With my ex boy

# He's in the place But I can't get joy

# Thinking on you In the final throes

# This is when my buzzer goes

# Upstairs to make your chips and pitta

# You say "When we married" cos you're not bitter

# There'll be none of him no more

# I'll cry for you on the kitchen floor

# I cheated myself

# Like I knew I would

# I told you I was trouble

# You know that I'm no good

# Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain

# We're like how we were again

# I'm in the tub You're on the seat

# Lick your lips as I soak my feet

# Then you notice likkle carpet burn

# My stomach drop and my guts churn

# You shrug and it's the worst

# Who truly stuck the knife in first

# I cheated myself

# Like I knew I would

# I told you I was trouble

# You know that I'm no good

# I cheated myself

# Like I knew I would

# I-I-I-I...

# You know that I'm no go-o-o-o-o-o-od. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# When will we get the time to be

# Just friends

# It's never safe for us

# Not even in the evening

# When I have been drinking

# Not in the morning

# When your shit works

# It's always dangerous when everybody's sleeping

# And I've been thinking

# Can we be alone?

# Can we be alone?

# When will we get the time to be

# Just friends

# When will we get the time to be

# Just friends

# And no, I'm not ashamed

# But the guilt will kill you

# If she don't first

# I'll never love you like her

# So we need to find the time

# To just do this shit together before it, before it gets worse

# Yeah, I wanna touch you, I wanna touch you

# But that just hurts, that just hurts

# When will we get the time to be

# Just friends

# When will we get the time to be

# Just friends

# When will we get the time to be

# Just friends, just friends

# When will we get the time to be

# Just friends, just friends

# Just frie-e-e-e-e-e-ends. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you.

I just realised, my dad is not here probably.

He went to work, didn't he?

Probably.

It's all right being a cab driver, make your own hours.

Don't have to answer to anyone.

It's good if you don't like people.

LAUGHTER

We like you, Amy. >

I like you more.

It's not a competition.

SHE LAUGHS

All right, baby, go on, run it.

# He can only hold her for so long

# The lights are on but no-one's home

# She's so vacant

# Her soul is taken

# He is what she's running from

# How can he have her heart When it got stole?

# Though he tries to pacify her

Da da da da

# What's inside her never dies

Da da da da woo

# Even if she's content in his warmth

# She gets plagued with urgency

# She urgent kisses the man and she misses

# The man that he longs to be

# Now how can he have her heart

Da da da da

# When it got stole?

# So he tries to pacify her

# Cos what's inside'll never die

La la la la

# Now how can he have her heart

# When it got stole?

# Though he tries to pacify her

# What's inside will never die

La la la la

# Though he tries to pacify her

# What's inside her never dies

La la la la woo

# Now, guys, you know you better watch out

# Some girls, some girls are only about

# That thing, that thing

# That thing

# That thing, that thing

# Thing

# Girls, you know you better watch out

# Some guys, some guys are only about

# That thing, that thing

# Girls, you know you better Come on

# Some girls, some girls are only Come on

# That bling, that bling, that bling

# That bling, that bling, that bling

That bling. #

Ade and Zalon, ladies and gentlemen, please!

APPLAUSE

# I couldn't resist him

# His eyes were like yours

# His hair was exactly

# Your shade of brown

# Now he's just not as tall

# But I couldn't tell

# When it was dark

# And I was lying down, oh

# You are everything

# And he means nothing to me

# And I can't even remember his name

# So, why are you so upset

# Baby, you weren't there and you know

# I was thinking of you when I came

# Now, what do you expect?

# You left me here alone

# And I drank so much

# And needed your touch

# Now, don't overreact

# Yeah, I pretended he was you

# Cos you wouldn't want me to be lonely

# Now how can I put it

# So you understand?

# I didn't let him hold my hand

# But he looked like you

# I guess he looked like you

# No, he wasn't you

# No, he wasn't you

# But you can still trust me

# This ain't infidelity

# It's not cheating

# When you were on my mind

# Yes, he looked like you

# But I heard love

# Is blind. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I was just, um...played Coco last night, just played Coco in Camden.

And um, apparently... I don't even know what made me think of this.

It's probably just to cheer myself up, cos we're about to do the depressing songs,

but um, yeah, but, yeah...

Backstage afterwards, I heard she did like three songs no-one knew,

nallsed it up, and then afterwards at the after-show, and her brother and dad like,

tore the shit out of each other, just fucking...bleeding to death.

LAUGHTER Funny, though, innit. I fucking would hate to be her though.

At that point, d'you know what I mean? It's like,

"Bruv, dad, I know I messed up tonight, but please, don't embarrass me any more.

"Please, can you take it outside?"

MURMURING

< Was it Lily Allen?

Fuck off! I love Lily! Fuck off!

You're just picking on me cos I'm drunk.

LAUGHTER

I love that! Lily Allen! Russell Brand!

CHEERING Dame Edna Everage!

CHEERING Anything? No. Go on. Run it.

# The neighbours were screaming

# I don't have a key for downstairs

# So I punched all the buzzers

# Hoping you would be there

# And now my head's hurting

# You say I always get my own way

# But you were in the shower when I got there

# And I'd have wanted to stay

# But I got nothing to say

# You were so beautiful

# Before today

# And then I heard what you say

# And man, that was ugly

# The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas

# Put it in the box, put it in the box

# Frank's in there, and I don't care

# Put it in the box, put it in the box

# Just take it

# Take the box

# Take the box

# I came home this evening

# And nothing felt like how it should be

# I feel like writing you a letter

# But that's not me

# You know me

# And I feel so fucking angry

# And I don't wanna be reminded of you

# So when I left my shit in your kitchen

# I said goodbye to your bedroom and smiled at you

# Mr False Pretence, you don't make sense

# Well, I guess I just don't know you

# But you made me cry, where's my kiss goodbye?

# Oh, and I think I love you

# The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas

# Put it in the box, put it in the box

# Frank's in there, and I don't care

# Put it in the box, put it in the box

# Just take it

# Take the box

# Yeah, just take it

# Take the box

# And now just da-da-da-da whoa-oh

# Take the box

# Oh, oh, oh, oh

# Take the box. #
