LYRICS

coming soon

amazing, just the only song I hear from th new album, really amazing! :)

The BEST Song Ever With Amelle :)
Mutya should be proud

All I have to say is E P I C !

Loved it instantly!

The Babes continue to deliver great closers.

Amazing, like every last track on a Sugababes album!

Amelle's voice in the first couple of lines sounds like Diana's from the X-factor!

Is this about Mutya??

Anywayz this is my favorite on this album

Personally I think it is.

I, also do think this is about Mutya.
Is it me, or does anyone think Heidi's voice resembles Agnetha from ABBA (The Blonde One) ?

nah i don't really like it, boring

Gorgeous, such a moving ballad.

Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool when it's going down
I don't wanna fight

Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight, to lose you

I wrote a list of my demands, but I left it at a friend's
I rehearsed a little speech, but the whole thing got too preechy
So it seems like I'm back on scratch again
I read a magazine last night, all our issues came to light
I memorised it piece by piece, but I guess it's not that easy
Now it seems like I'm back on scratch again

And it seems like in all the fighting we're losing sight
And it feels like all this time we once were tight
And it seems like we're supposed to be side by side
All I wanna do is set things right

Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool when it's going down
I don't wanna fight, I know I'm not right

Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight, to lose you

I met you never asking sheer advice, to wise up and to make nice
I always thought she was a bore, but then that's another story
And I feel like I'm back on scratch again
And at this show the other night I met your friend the skinny guy
I swear he tried to make a pass, I guess he never was too classy
And I feel like I'm back on scratch again

And it seems like in all the fighting we're losing sight
And it feels like all this time we once were tight
And it seems like we're supposed to be side by side
All I wanna do is set things right

Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool when it's going down
I don't wanna fight, I know I'm not right

Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight, to lose you

If we can't reconcile then can we just not fight?
Every second that you're gone I want you by my side
Another minute with you not around, I just might lose my mind
Was I wrong all the while or were you just not right?
We're supposed to be side by side
All I wanna do is set things right

Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool when it's going down
I don't wanna fight, I know I'm not right

Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight, to lose you

Thankyou Kaloyan
The lyrics are rather lovely

Amelle's voice is so interesting on this one

Oh and i too think (and hope) its about :mutya:

This song means alot to me, i re-wrote it and submitted it as a blog.

BLAYKES.BLOG

Anyone can read it if they'd like.

This is the third song I've listened to off the album and I adore it so much!

Does Amelle sing the whole chorus to herself? It works!

Heidi's voice is so different and amazing.

I love the song, best album ender ever!

I don't think i's about Mutya but It'd be cool if it was. Maybe there's like a hidden message for her

Yes! :)
And she sure pulls it off! :D
I think the other babes add some harmony on some phrases.

ISNT HEIDI JUST THE FUCKING BOMB IN THIS TRACK!?

This song is one of the most sensational Sugababes songs ever.

the lyrics posted are a tad wrong on heidis part i noticed
posted:
I met you never asking sheer advice, to wise up and to make nice
I always thought she was a bore, but then that's another story

actual
I met your ex and she advised, to wise up and to make nice
I always thought she was a bore, but then that's another story

Ah cheers for clearing it up, I knew that line wasn't right but just couldn't get my finger on it. :)

Love this track! It's probably my favourite on the album actually. :D

hear only this song from new album, but I LOVE IT..don´t need to listen to another :) :P

Beautiful song... 3rd signle for me.. no doubt..!! :) (side chick second) :)

lol as i can se we've got totally different tastes :D

It took you how long to figure that out? :P
There were arguements over "Girls" - where were you?

If this board liked all the same songs, it would be rather uninteresting.

I nearly get moved to tears everytime I hear this song!

So sad. =[

FIRST IMPRESSION:

Boring... nothing compared to "2 Hearts" for example.
6,5/10

Since About You Now and She's Like A Star are bonus tracks, I'm counting this as the album closer, and what a perfect ending it is. Such beautiful vocals from the 'Babes, and as has been said, they sound so different, which has a very nice effect.

I'd love to hear it live!

sorry but what means TO BE ON SCRATCH and PREECHY?
Can someone explain in English, pls?

Back on scratch means Back to the start, having to start from the beginning.

oooh thank you :)

and preechy?

i think it's "preachy", it means "moralizing" as far as i know (but english is not my mothertongue, too, so it could be wrong)

It's good lyrically, Heidi sounds awesome, but I don't like it. I found it boring, sorry.

Like Ste said 'back on scratch' refers to back to the beginning while 'don't mean to preachy' refers to excessive moralizing. Think about a Pope/Pastor/Reverend discussing morals.

Anyways, this is one of my favourite mid-tempo ballads from the group. For some reason it's my Conversation's Over on the album. Completely addicted to it but don't want to over play it.

Edit: That's me but ignore the CO was referring to a different track.
