Put Your Records On

Corinne Bailey Rae

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 favorite 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 a 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 favorite 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 realize, that you don’t even have to try any longer?

Do what you want to

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite 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 favorite 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

Background

Breakthrough artist for 2006, Rae’s fragile voice sneaks through the back to basics pulsating R&B beat. Her silken voice utters the lyrics in such a carefree manner the Leeds-born vocalist appears to barely try yet achieves so much. “Put Your Records On” is from her much hyped debut album “Like A Star.”
