  • Who are you to ask for anything more?
    Do you wait for your dancing lessons to be sent from God?
    You'd like his light to shine on you

    You've really missed a trick when it comes to love
    Always seeking what you don't have like what you do ain't enough
    You'd like a light to shine on you

    And every book you take
    And you dust off from the shelf
    Has lines between lines between lines
    That you read about yourself
    But does a light shine on you?

    And when your friends are talking
    You hardly hear a word
    You were the first person here
    And the last man on the Earth
    But does a light shine on you?

    Who are you to ask for anything else?
    The thing you should be asking is for help

    You'd like a light to shine on you
    Let it shine on you
    Let it shine on you

    A penny for your truth
    Will I'll hedge my bets on love?
    'Cause it's lies after lies after lies
    But do you even fool yourself?
    And then a light shines on you

    And when your friends are talking
    You hardly hear a word
    You were the first person here
    And the last man on the Earth
    But the light Writer/s: Ellen Rowsell, Joel Amey, Jonathan Oddie, Theodore Ellis

  • Fishski from UkThis song is a lot of beautiful things but it isn't a waltz.
  • Trevor Tylor from Uk This is a beautiful song and video. Best I’ve listened to in a long time
  • Nathan from Westcliff On Sea, UkI heard this on Radio 1 and was just blown away! Such simple chords and yet an epic build up. I then saw the performance on Later and again just thought WOW - cannot wait until they tour and play it. When interviewed they jokingly said they wanted it to rain fire when they performed it live.
