Amy Macdonald!

[Michael Alexander]

By pure fluke, I happened to walk past the telly and VH1 was on and there was a catchy tune called this is the life by Amy Macdonald...... WoW! This was nice..... anyone else heard of her before?   

[Rhona]

  Can't say that it rings a bell........sing a few lines and I'll see if I recognise it........ 

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Louder Michael we can't hear you..... banjo

[Michael Alexander]

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

So your heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Ah sure you should of hummed it in the first place...............now I recognise it; you were singing way off tune - kinda like a load of cats bawling 

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Oh yes...of course... Its that song by Amy Macdonald.

[Michael Alexander]

MMMMmmmh! you two r lucky you ain't gonna be up here for the reunion...I would have hollered the tune in your ear a bit louder.....   

[Rhona]

  You are just too easy - good work Diana, we got him good and proper 

[SandyB]

Seen her on a clip on TV singing one late night  ...  pretty sure the same song  cos the written words  ring bells and of course the tune ... on the youtube ...

[Barbara Eia (Brownless)]

I have not heard of her before but listened to the song and like it....might buy the album
