Mixtape - Jamie Cullum

Everything I know is you

Let me tell you what we’re listening to

I’m a gentle soul, I’m sure

But on the stereo I’m a dictator

Do you even have a tape machine

To facilitate my plastic dreams?

All the things that I have seen, from

Morrissey to John Coltrane AHHH…

Cinematic Orchestra, De La Soul, the Shangri-La's

An adolescent love letter, a sparkling jewel of manual labour

I’ll make you a mixtape that’s a blueprint of my soul

It may sound grand, but babe, it’s all you need to know

I’ll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed

It details everything that’s running round my head

That’s running round my head

Fondling record and play

Without you it’s records night and day

This ain’t no disc of MP3's

This one’s handmade, fashioned lovingly

Plant the rhythm in your bones

You’re the only angel in headphones

My love can paint a million tones

From Nine Inch Nails to Louis Armstrong

So resurrect your stereo

And the swathes of melodies will flow

Thelonious, Maurizio

I tell you, babe, it will make my heart glow

I’ll make you a mixtape that’s a blueprint of my soul

It may sound grand, but babe, it’s all you need to know

I’ll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed

It details everything that’s running round my head

Woah…
