Beth Orton - Galaxy Of Emptiness (Live) Lyrics
The stars light a sky
On a galaxy of emptiness tonight
Though I'm happiest
When there's no reason for me to be
And so much hope it sometimes tears me all apart
Won't you please
Knock me off my feet for a while?
Could you please
Knock me off my feet for a while?
'Cause there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole galaxy of emptiness tonight
A galaxy of emptiness tonight
On a gutter full of broken dreams tonight
Though I'm not content, that's the way it seems to be
Still, I've been fighting all week
Though I don't know what for
Hoping someone else, somewhere near knows the score
Won't you please
Knock me off my feet for a while?
Could you please
Knock me off my feet for a while?
And there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole galaxy of emptiness tonight
Monkey see, monkey do
I spent my whole life surrounded by people like you
With all that expectation to weigh heavy on your heart
But no ideas to later tear it all apart
Won't you please
Knock me off my feet for a while?
Could you please
Knock me off my feet for a while?
'Cause there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
Beware the galaxy of emptiness tonight
'Cause there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
Yeah, there's a galaxy of emptiness
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
Beware the galaxy of emptiness tonight
(A galaxy of emptiness)
(A whole galaxy of stars)

Beth Orton Galaxy Of Emptiness (Live) Comments
This the song that introduced me to Beth Orton. The most incredible version, with Ted Barnes.... wow!!!
And me...2019...since '92...tecnicly first good album...garage 4 ever...
I listened to this song a lot in the first 2000s. It reminds me to the trip hop golden age.
Perfect mix of plaintiveness and peacefulness knocks me off my feet for a long while
i Love the song..
I cried when I realised what she went through
still listening in 2016 😍.. one of the only forms of B.O. I love!
effortless
Here's the guitar tab for this track.

I could easily listen to this for hours in a loop. Thanks for posting.
16 years nos since this as recorded. What happened to música since then?
a galaxy of emptyness...
I just love this little girl. I love her so much. nice. nice. and nice.
little girl? is there a 3 yo in the video?
Beth is I think pushing 6' tall & Imogen Heap is TALLER than Jay Leno in her bare feet!
compared to 350 t0 400 lb beast she is small
i would love to hear a duet with her and jose gonzalez , could be the most haunting song ever
Prob my fav song.
Tear in my eye...
Quite a superb song, thank you Beth and thank you for an awesome concert last night at the O2 in Oxford. Sounding great as ever, loved every minute.
Beth is "hot" for a lot of us- even us girls (even tho she's str8- dammit)...
someone doesnt like this?...now inst that a shame.
i remember when this came on. I recorded this episode and watch it over and over and over lol. this was my introduction to Beth Orton. truly amazing
Wouldn't mind to be knocked off my feet for a while. Need to find someone like her.
Such a beautiful song, I haven't heard it in ages. Its so sad, yet it is strangely consoling.
damn, that's awesome
This is my FAVORITE Beth O. song. :) Love the Beth...
Loveeeeeeeeee this song...
Nope. I'm just as amazed.
This is awesome. Beth is now a few years older (haha, we all are too) but her live show last year was awesome (Danforth Theatre in Toronto) - if you get a chance, see her.
Keep it on the tt, augwest, but what you want is an audio hijacking program and a sound editing program. Then you can make an ok recording of anything you can listen to.
its Beth doing her thing acoustic .
Wow, that version is really magic, especially the outro from 5:05 onwards. The audience must have been afraid to breath...
it's the first time i've heard this version and have to say that it's brilliant. it's a bit different but it's probably better than the album version.
Yep, album version much better...not liking the key...or the guitar arpeggios..not doing anything for me at all this..
its nice and great like this, but album version that i heard first and after looong time recently has something...more...
what you guys think?
on the cd this song has a long dreamy intro you can zone out to
no no.. my mistake.. album version sounds different.. so..it was her all the time:)
somehow I got addicted to this song. didn't even realise till I found myself humming it constantly.. it's just stuck in my head
This has to be one of the best pieces of music ever written.
Thanks for uploading this.
cant stop listen it sometimes...
is that original?
i remember that some guy was singing that...
i was surching soooo long..... thank you!!!!
Beth yet again shows how amazing her musical talent is.
