Playlist Raleigh Ritchie

raleigh ritchie - a moor

Stuck in the middle with you
There's nowhere that I'd rather be
We can solve any riddle we choose
But we choose to stay away from the games
We move to the suburbs where grass grows
Away from the stubborn city arseholes
Out to a world no one else knows
Out to the meadows, out to the sea
I don't really care what we do
But let's head to the wild, me and you
No stress, all bless, no blues
Let's take in the view

I said think about your heart, forget about your head
'Cause if the rapture starts tomorrow, we'll be dead
And if the world burns, I wanna burn with it
I wanna go with you exactly how we living
sponsored links
But until that day I wanna love the minute
The hours, the seconds and live without limits
Love every day no matter what it takes
Store everything in you until my heart breaks
If we get into a sticky situation, I wanna run away, I don't wanna be patient
No matter what the adversity we're facing
Time and space is the only thing we're racing

Maybe we could find a haven, get lost, go ape, it would be so amazing
We can do what we wanted to do
Kick up a fuss and never trust what we knew
Trying new things, new life, no strings
Even if our fights get raw, we'll brush it away, no strife, what for?
Kick off the door and leave, I want more
More, more

raleigh ritchie - birthday girl

[Verse 1]
Not out of the woods yet
I haven't brought the goods yet
Are we here to say goodbye?
I wish I could support you
I wish I could afford to
Give me one more chance to shine
And if I don't live up to this
I'll stay in the wilderness
Staring at a lonely sky
It's what I deserve
What I should be reduced to
And I won't even ask
Why you brought me in your car boot, and

[Chorus]
I am curious as to
Why you're so furious
And I know your mood's are serious

[Verse 2]
We could've gone anywhere
If you wanna shoot the breeze
But I remember you said
You're at one with the trees
If you're sick of my questions
I won't say a word
But one quick suggestion
Fuck what you heard
If this is a test, dear
I wanna pass, flying colours
And baby, we're the best, we're
Better than the others, so

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
What's that in your bag, dear?
I hope it's just a kiss
You shouldn't be so mad, dear
On a night as clear as this
I hope that's not a hammer
I pray it's just a rose
Stop thrashing at my head, love
Stop pulling on my clothes
I'm starting to feel weak, babe
It's cold here on the grass
I can't even speak babe
But I really need to ask
Was it something that I did?
I need to be reminded
I need to be reminded
I've got it, I know it's too late
I wish I could explain
Please don't walk away
My sight's beginning to fade
And the lights are turning to grey
And the night is starting to change
Sorry I missed your birthday

raleigh ritchie - cowards

[Intro: Raleigh Ritchie & Etta Bond]
Hi
Hey
Hi
Okay

[Verse 1: Raleigh Ritchie & Etta Bond]
I guess you're okay
You go through my head now and then
(Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)
We watch what we say
We play hard to get, we pretend
(Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)

I don't know what's happened to me
But it won't disappear
I keep changing, saying things
I think you want to hear

[Pre-Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
I'm struggling to hold onto
Something close to you
And I'm coming up short
I choose to make the most of you

[Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
Never mind the power
Never mind the games
You and me, we're cowards
Never mind the shame
Cause I'll be waiting for you
At the pearly gates
Baby, I adore you
But I'm afraid to say

[Verse 2: Raleigh Ritchie & Etta Bond]
I bite and you scratch
We tense and relax, perfect match
(Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)
We both self destruct
We fight and we fu- (Hey)
We make love (Hi, Okay)

[Pre-Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
I'm struggling to hold onto
Something close to you
And I'm coming up short
I choose to make the most of you

[Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
Never mind the power
Never mind the games
You and me, we're cowards
Never mind the shame
Cause I'll be waiting for you
At the pearly gates
Baby, I adore you
But I'm afraid to say

[Bridge: Raleigh Ritchie]
We don't have to be the model couple
We could just be muddled up, I won't give it up
White flag on the nightstand
Right girl for the wrong man
Maybe we were made to
Dance around each other, babe
I don't know, I don't care
I'm just scared

[Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
Never mind the power
Never mind the games
You and me, we're cowards
Never mind the shame
Cause I'll be waiting for you
At the pearly gates
Baby, I adore you
But I'm afraid to say

raleigh ritchie - bloodsport 15

Nothing is perfect but your imperfections are quaint
And your love is worth it and for that I will wait
And though you hate me when you have a turn
I drive you crazy but you always return

If I fall short, if I break rank
It's a bloodsport, but I understand
I am all yours, I am unmanned
I'm on all fours, willingly damned

Loving you's a bloodsport, yeah, yeah
Fighting in a love war yeah, yeah

Although you love me, sometimes we're mean
Things can get ugly, but, we're still a team
We are an army, that breaks from within but
That's why we're stronger, and that's how we'll win

If I fall short, if I break rank
It's a bloodsport, but I understand
I am all yours, I am unmanned
I'm on all fours, willingly damned

Loving you's a bloodsport, yeah, yeah
Fighting in a love war yeah, yeah
It's not what I'm in love for, I'm yours,
But I don't know if you can help it, maybe I'm just being selfish,
Loving you's a bloodsport, yeah yeah

I've got your back, and though it's stacked against us,
I've got your hand, it's us against consensus, and I will burn,
The people who hurt you the worst and I will not learn
Coz I am too young and too dumb to consider the terms
Of breaking the law and I'll curse the day that they return
With a smile on my face as their heads hit the floor

And their done now it's curtains the bloodlust's
A clusterfuck it hurts but it's working
And even if you ask me to stop it's too late
Because I've already decided their fate
It's not a distaste it's pure hate and it pulsates
And it works its way around my brain
Anyway what I'm trying to say is

I'll protect you til the day I meet my maker
So don't fight me now coz you might need me later
Loving you's a bloodsport, yeah, yeah
Fighting in a love war yeah, yeah
It's not what I'm in love for, I'm yours,
But I don't know if you can help it, maybe I'm just being selfish,
Loving you's a bloodsport, yeah yeah

raleigh ritchie - aristocrats

Sometimes I don't recognise my mind
Sometimes I wonder if it's yours or mine
I never saw you cry
And I wonder if that's why

Sometimes got a skip in my step
And a drink on my breath
And a cigarette and I hope that's all you left

I don't even know if I know my own mind
I don't even know if I'm on my own time
I don't even know if I know what's right for me, yeah
I don't even want a patch on my jacket
I don't wanna move another tax bracket
I don't wanna be a part of my family tree
I don't wanna turn my back
No, I don't want a part of that
In the Aristocracy

Sometimes I don't hold my rank
And most times I got you to thank
Oh, you know your mind
There's energy in your tank
But I've got nothing left in mine

Sometimes got a skip in my step
And a drink on my breath
And a cigarette and I hope that's all you left

I don't even know if I know my own mind
I don't even know if I'm on my own time
I don't even know if I know what's right for me, yeah
I don't even want a patch on my jacket
I don't wanna move another tax bracket
I don't wanna be a part of my family tree
I don't wanna turn my back
No, I don't want a part of that
In the aristocracy

Look, fuck it, I got Nicorette in my pocket
I've got memories I suppress, so there
I guess I'll just forget again
It's easier that way
I guess I've got calls to make and texts to ignore
Ain't life a bore when you're a mess? Anyway
I'm tongue-tied, brain fried
I've sacrificed my whole life
I don't think you realise but you are in my insides
My brain hurts and it ain't worth it
I'll keep hurting, I'll keep working
I'll go high when you go low
And I'll get by, you'll never know
My brain hurts and I'll keep working
You're inside my mind
My whole life and I don't think you realise
You are in my insides

I don't even know if I know my own mind
I don't even know if I'm on my own time
I don't even know if I know what's right for me, yeah
I don't even want a patch on my jacket
I don't wanna move another tax bracket
I don't wanna be a part of my family tree
I don't wanna turn my back
No, I don't want a part of that
In the aristocracy

Breathe

raleigh ritchie - say what you mean

Whatever I've been told, taken what I am so
Well the history, a shit weed, oh
If it ain't a rabbit hole, I find it hard to cope
I need space but can't be alone
Modern life's a joke, that's why I drink and smoke
Ooh get me, I'm so rock and roll

Typical I
I keep hiding in hindsight
Won't say boo to a fly
So just

Say what you mean, say it please, say it for free
Say anything, honestly, say what you see
Fuck what you heard, lined in blood, say it for me
Say what you mean, honestly, say what you see

I live in a scream in a fever dream
Works well for my self esteem
That's how I survive, I avert my eyes
The white shop, quiet shop, a tired fuck
'Cause I am born, quiet spark, and eyes dark
But lets starts to creeping, leaking, speaking but

Typical I
I keep hiding in hindsight
Won't say boo to a fly
So just

Say what you mean, say it please, say it for free
Say anything, honestly, say what you see
Fuck what you heard, lined in blood, say it for me
Say what you mean, honestly, say what you see

raleigh ritchie - free fall

I never thought I'd be so self-sufficient
I never thought I'd be a workaholic
I've been swallowed up and hallowed out
And now I have no peace of mind, no solace

Here comes the water works again
Some way to feel the towns
One day I'll have some friends
Bills come, pocket full of lenses
I'm hoping I can win some
I'm hoping I'll descend

And I go down, down, down, down, down
Wait for the crush and hit the ground
Free when I wanna pressure
whether it's fight or win, sink or swim
I don't wanna be your blessing
I just want Vicodin, minus in
Just play with me to carry me
I'm in Free Fall, Free Fall, Free Fall, fall

Evidently nothing ever happens
And the world is made by this man
Everybody's wearing smart attire
So I'm in good company and then

I go down, down, down, down, down
Wait for the crush and hit the ground
Free when I wanna pressure
whether it's fight or win, sink or swim
I don't wanna be your blessing
I just want Vicodin, minus in
Just play with me to carry me
I'm in Free Fall, Free Fall, Free Fall, fall

Pay bills, money kills
no idea how I'm gonna get my next meal
Few skills, make a deal with the Devil
if I wanna settle down
Wanna bill
And you know mates, mister lonely
mister kiss ass for the check
I'm a phony
Use your bad taste, don't gold me, I'm already gone
You don't need to throw me

Free when I wanna pressure
whether it's fight or win, sink or swim
I don't wanna be your blessing
I just want Vicodin, minus in
Just play with me to carry me
I'm in Free Fall, Free Fall, Free Fall, fall

Free when I wanna pressure
whether it's fight or win, sink or swim
I don't wanna be your blessing
I just want Vicodin, minus in
Just play with me to carry me
I'm in Free Fall, Free Fall, Free Fall, fall

raleigh ritchie - i can change

[Verse 1]
See, I like drinking 'til I get blind drunk
Black out and lash out and act like a punk
Crush through town with my fake Id
End up face-down, am I in too deep?
Hungover, bed-bound soldier
Hand runs over the dip in her shoulder
With her, I see things clear
Lose my mind, I lose my fear
Though my life so far is bleary
I'll be fine if I keep her near me
I don't need the fights and tears
I don't even like my peers
We're so far away from here
We're so far away from here

[Chorus]
When I think about my baby
I get a bit insecure
I need to be seen as a little bit more mature
Can't live without my baby, I'm sure
I can change
I can change
I just wanna get rid of all the excess pain
Everything's out to stop things going my way
She's the only thing to save me

[Verse 2]
See, I'm a madman when it comes to getting loud
I'm not a badman, but I'll still knock you out
"Oi listen, don't try it"
Triple Jd, fuck a diet
See, my lady, she's an angel
She's a rock star, but she stays low
She got eyes that could melt the entire population
But I get tired of them
This situation just ain't enough
I don't wanna change her, I wanna make her
Prepare her, so she can see that this world we live in
Can be fucking tough
I mean it though, this world is cold
Only the brave survive when they sell their souls
This is my odyssey
I just hope she can keep up with me
This is my calling
It's a shame I'm susceptible to falling

[Chorus]
When I think about my baby
I get a bit insecure
I need to be seen as a little bit more mature
Can't live without my baby, I'm sure
I can change
I can change
I just wanna get rid of all the excess pain
Everything's out to stop things going my way
She's the only thing to save me

[Verse 3]
Mr Officer, I'm a man of values
Yes, I might have dropped one or two Valium
Look, I don't wanna rot, I'm just a casual abuser
Sorry user, don't be confused sir
Not being rude, sir, just wanna go home
Look, I choose her, leave this life in the dust, I'mma lose her
I'm a loser, I'm a fucking loser, and I'mma lose her

[Chorus]
When I think about my baby
I get a bit insecure
I need to be seen as a little bit more mature
Can't live without my baby, I'm sure
I can change
I can change
I just wanna get rid of all the excess pain
Everything's out to stop things going my way
She's the only thing to save me

raleigh ritchie - in too deep

I though I knew you better than I did
But hey whatever
You lead me on and promised if we'd drown
We drown together
And my heart
I'm free indeed but I'm swimming with my arms bent out to sea
And I need a solid shore out there waiting for me
I need no sleep for a week
I'm out into the deep blue, out in to the deep blue

I'm in too deep I'm alone
When I need you most
You'll be gone
Deep blue sea
Will you take me home
Watch me drown
Or let me flow

You carry me pull against my wishes
I cannot foresee sleeping with the fishes
And now I see the sea is unforgiving
I want to be along with the living
I'm easing thee sway by the ocean
I'm with I leave myself my emotions
I chase things I can't change can't chose
Out into the deep blue out into the deep blue

I'm in too deep I'm alone
When I need you most
You'll be gone
Deep blue sea
Will you take me home
Watch me drown
Or let me flow

I'm hounded
Or romance is dead
I'm cold my lips taste like they salt
I wanna swim home and don't know how I got so
you fed me lies
and left me high and dry
Except when I'm lost
I see you I can be the babe

I'm in too deep I'm alone
When I need you most
You'll be gone
Deep blue sea
Will you take me home
Watch me drown
Or let me flow

raleigh ritchie - liability

Lying in a bed of my own making
Last thing I knew I was lying on a pavement
Bleeding from the head if I'm not mistaking
And the only thing to do is wallow in my blues
Maybe I don't want to be a homebody
Maybe I do
Maybe I don't want to be with nobody
Maybe it's you
Maybe I don't wanna know
Maybe I don't wanna go
Maybe I don't wanna grow
Maybe I don't wanna vote
Maybe I do
I'm not through
I'm not through

[Refrão]
I just woke up
With the greatest hangover
I'm not sober
I'm not broken
I'm not eager
It's not over
I'm not decent
I'm not evil
I'm just me
I'm sick of being a liability

I don't really want a sex education
Fuck now, think later
I don't really want a bad reputation
I'm good, I'm tasteful
Wanna be a saint, be paid and stable
In ways I could never anticipate
I'm unbreakable
One of these days
I'm gonna wake in a place where somebody
Knows my name
I'm sick of being a liability
I wanna be okay
I wanna be okay

[Refrão]

Let's get married, and travel to Vegas
My deplorable behavior is getting outrageous I
I need Jesus
I need relief
I need some peace of mind
Fuck, I need some sleep
I need to find a purpose in life
And find what I want
'Cause sometimes I act like a punk
When the wine is all in my trunk
And my mind is all back to front
I'm hardly a fucking monk
Maybe I'm just a little bit ittybit, still drunk

[Refrão]

(Oh, f*ck off)

raleigh ritchie - life in a box

This is my life in pieces
This is my life in a box
I can give you time if you need it
Take a look around, mind the socks

I would like to welcome you to the boudoir
That's my private room
I hope this is alright for you
Cause I'm afraid it's all I've got

You can crack the window open, let the weed smell out
I was formerly heartbroken, haven't had nobody round

And now you're here looking so lovely
My breath smells of beer and I'm first thing ugly
Maybe we rushed this, maybe it's too soon
Maybe I fucked this, do you think I'm a loser?

Here I go again, giving it all away
Here I go again, giving away the game
Shouldn't feel ashamed, nothing to my name
I believe in change, but I'll always be the same
Start again

Welcome to the Hotel Raleigh
Where the valet is a crackhead in an alley

Let me lay you down on my silk sheets, baby
Take you round and round, drive you bath salts crazy
Flipping out to the sounds of my Marvin Gaye tape
Slow jams, romance, onto Donny Hathaway

Run my hands down your smooth cheeks
And though I haven't shaved for two weeks
I'm gonna take my time, come a little closer
I hope you don't mind my X-Men poster

Giving it all away, here I go again
Giving away the game
Shouldn't feel ashamed, nothing to my name
I believe in change, but I'll always be the same
Start again

Here I go again, giving it all away
Here I go again
Shouldn't feel ashamed, nothing to my name
I believe in change, but I'll always be the same
Start again

raleigh ritchie - never better

Beaten within an inch of my life
I was my own victim
Tried out therapy, kept getting hits in
All I saw was red light
Even my fucking therapist couldn't get my name right
Pathetic in my own way
Stuck in a rut of being miserable and stone-faced
Caught up in my own place
People saw it differently, this is my own take
This is no mixtape
This is no love song, this is no piss-take
Then I met her
I fixed up, flew right, got shit together

Never really better
Nothing gets better than you
I'mma go get her, I'm thinking forever, this is new
Never been better, lighter than a feather, now
My defenses dropped, I was lost, but I've been found

Instincts told me, keep being the old me
Keep being lonely, true love is phony
But this girl showed me
Progress, proceed, even if it throws me
Talk is always so cheap
Can't word how well this girl knows me
And I don't really smoke weed
But I'm so high right now, feel so blowy
Make our own fun, do our own thing
Doesn't matter, what the world brings
Anybody, wanna try us
Let 'em try it, fly by us

Never really better
Nothing gets better than you
I'mma go get her, I'm thinking forever, this is new
Never been better, lighter than a feather, now
My defenses dropped, I was lost, but I've been found

I've been found, found, found
Never been better
Never really found this
I've been found

Never really better
Nothing gets better than you
I'mma go get her, I'm thinking forever, this is new
Never been better, lighter than a feather, now
My defenses dropped, I was lost, but I've been found

raleigh ritchie - never say die

[Verse 1]
I lost my mind in a nightclub bathroom
All I could find possessed no value
Too many times I said "never again"
Fooled me twice, all I have is my name
I'm a travelling journeyman like early man
Cave to cave and do it again, world's turning in on me
And it's spinning, so I heard again, hit the curb again
I'm a bum, burning out, international mystery men, I'm lonely now

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I left my mind in Vegas
I left my mind in Reno
I left my mind in London
I left my heart in Rio

[Chorus]
If I never make it through the night
Before I should die
Then if this is the last song I write
I lived my life
And I'mma live like a king if it kills me
I'm a kid, seven sins couldn't thrill me
When it's said and done, and I'm leaving home
I'mma rise again, and I'mma rise alone

[Verse 2]
I lost my soul on a roulette table
This never gets old, cause I'm unstable
Hit the ground running
It pulls me down, but I'm coming
I'm not unraveling, adrenaline, ketamine isn't my medicine
Living is better than methamphetamines
Fucking me up, just credit it "high on life", live twice
Never say die, I'm fine, I'll pay the piper, whatever the price

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I left my mind in La (never say die)
I left my mind in Dallas (never say die)
I left my mind in Bristol
I left my heart in Paris

[Chorus]
If I never make it through the night
Before I should die
Then if this is the last song I write
I lived my life
And I'mma live like a king if it kills me
I'm a kid, seven sins couldn't thrill me
When it's said and done, and I'm leaving home
I'mma rise again, and I'mma rise alone

[Bridge]
Run, run, run away
Run, run, run away
Running, ru-running away
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I lost my mind in Brighton
I lost my mind in Rome
I lost my mind in Sydney
I lost my heart in- fuck it, I never had a heart

[Outro] (x4)
Live another day
Another day
Gotta run away
Yeah

raleigh ritchie - overdose

[Verse 1]
Let's break up
And I mean it in the nicest way
Take stock and stop, let's wake up
I haven't seen the light for days
I need to clear this place up
Clear this place up, time to face up
Time to face up to you
Paradise lost and all this falls
We're paying the price to not conform
Real talk is the talk of the living in the court
We'll be livid if we don't for civilisation
Too many papers missed, we'll be out on the pavement
If we don't change shit

[Chorus]
Overdose, overload, over-time
We overflow, we should try and go outside
Cause if we don't, we'll overgrow and overdose
Just overdose, it's over when we overdose
You're my addiction
And my love has grown affliction
If we're not really living

[Verse 2]
What do you mean?
This can't be life, this can't be me
This can't be freedom
I'm young, I'm a dreamer, looking for meaning
Heed that feeling
But I've been reeling, reeling space
This is fleeting
This is fleeting
My hope is just a phase
Living without you is the darkest place
But living with you's proving more than I can take
Babe, I wanna take you for a normal date
Fuck these daily takeaways

[Chorus]
Overdose, overload, over-time
We overflow, we should try and go outside
Cause if we don't, we'll overgrow and overdose
Just overdose, it's over when we overdose
You're my addiction
And my love has grown affliction
If we're not really living

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm misguided
Maybe I'll be wrong
If we could just try
Maybe we'll move on
Too much time together
Is pulling us apart
You say we're forever
But I don't think we'll last if we

[Chorus]
Overdose, overload, over-time
We overflow, we should try and go outside
Cause if we don't, we'll overgrow and overdose
Just overdose, it's over when we overdose
You're my addiction
And my love has grown affliction
If we're not really living

raleigh ritchie - stay inside

Drugs and girls, love and death
Is all that goes through my head
I shrink the world, nothing left
I'll sleep when I am dead
Blame me, I'm not playing ball
Hate me, it's insatiable
I'm not lazy, I just can't face it all
And I can't, and I won't, and I don't know

When the underdogs rise again, I'll have my time
When my body starts turning in, I'll have my mind
Nothing is getting in, not even light
I'm gonna stay inside
Stay inside

TV news, frozen food,
and here my life's not hard
I don't use the bed in my room
sponsored links
Cos I don't want to drop my guard
Judge me, I will understand
I'm ugly, only half a man is
Your country and I'm contraband
Love me, and I'll leave your land

When the underdogs rise again, I'll have my time
When my body starts turning in, I'll have my mind
Nothing is getting in, not even light
I'm gonna stay inside
Stay inside

How can I please you
When I can't please myself
I've given up on what you're living
I have not yet forgiven myself

When the underdogs rise again, I'll have my time
When my body starts turning in, I'll have my mind
Nothing is getting in, not even light
I'm gonna stay inside
Stay inside

Stay inside (5X)
