Put Your Records On ~ Corrine Bailey Rae

Posted by: gretchen on August 27, 2007 |

Here’s another gem of a tune from Corrine Bailey Rae for your Monday morning…

Put Your Records On Corinne Bailey Rae lyrics


Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don’t need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we’ve got it wrong, but it’s alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don’t you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don’t you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it’s alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don’t you think it’s strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

‘Twas more than I could take, pity for pity’s sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don’t even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

    um yeah that song someday was okay, I wouldn’t buy it though.
    but the trumpet song, i wasn’t really feeling. And the birthday song I just didn’t like at all, I thought it was really dumb.

    But i’m not in college though.

    no i haven’t heard that song. Maybe i will take a listen sometime and tell you what i think.

    lol if? When I graduated from high school I didn’t really know exactly what I wanted to do with my life. So instead of going to college to make my family happy (and possibly end up wasting everyone’s time and money) I decided to work instead. I also model, act, and sing. I figure I will only be young enough to actually make in the entertainment industry for so long. As you get older your chances get much slimmer. And I figure college isn’t going anywhere, so that way at least when I start it will be because it’s something I want to do. Not something that was forced on me. But I have figured out where I want to go and what I want to do. In January I will start and I will be doing a double major of fashion design and marketing.

    …actually I started this semester and went for about a week. But i had to drop out due to financial issues. It was fun though, i loved it!

    I was born in New York, but I have been living in Atlanta since I was about 2.

    @Imani - your Gravater is showing up in the comment previews on the sidebar…but not in the main comments yet. Gravatars are supported by another site and just get imported here. Sometimes it takes a while for things to refresh and then it will show up.

    @Charms - don’t be discouraged about your situation. If college is your dream, keep your eyes open for opportunities to make that happen. Also, make sure you keep other people in your life aware of what you want…you never know what kind of connections they might be able to offer you. ;)

    Oh - and I just wanted to mention - I do have a forum area that hasn’t been used for a while (everyone seems to like the main blog), but feel free to post in there. Might be easier to thread conversations in the forums than in the post comments. :)

    Maybe if a few of us start new threads in the forums, the traffic will pick back up in there. It used to be pretty popular about a year ago, but then the blog took off and everyone quit posting in the forums and started commenting on the blog topics. :-??
