Liz Lawrence - Rooftops Lyrics
That toy that you got
From an old cereal box
Takes pride of place of my window ledge
Them pop cap guns
And your father's Bensons
And ain't it funny how it's all worked out
You've got a job and a family now
And I'm singing these same old songs
In empty bars and cheap restaurants
But it feels like a matter of days
Since knock and run and all the games we played
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
Of mash and gravy
The Shipping Forecast is on the radio
Mum's in a stress
Says she only does her best
But we don't appreciate where the money goes
Would you even recognise me now
I've lost love and I've fallen down
Felt the weight of the world on my shoulder
My young face got a little bit older
Had my heart been torn in two
Surely hope it doesn't happen to you
Since sitting on the rooftops after dark
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
I won't tie my laces,
I won't brush my hair
I won't wear nice dresses on a Sunday
I Say three Hail Mary's and I make my peace
With Friday night DJs down back alleys
Ain't it funny how it's all worked out
You've got a job and a family now
And I'm singing these same old songs
In empty bars and cheap restaurants
But it feels like a matter of days
Since knock and run and all the games we played
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
And my heart been torn in two
Surely hope it doesn't happen to you
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars

Just a precious voice and smile.
The guy in the back looks like a member of Jungle
Awesome i hope one fine day ill be there
Why does any sort of accent sound sexy to me?
FYI: Lizz Lawrence, your personal link above has nothing to do with you, it's bizarre! Hopefully your'e aware of this or have changed it. Love your voice & music, Cheers to you!
Spectacular😄
I just smoked for the first time. I sat down on my terrace and smoked. It kind of hurt. Don't know if I'll be doing it again.
My mom is currently dying of emphysema after a lifetime of smoking. It's not worth it I tell you. Not to mention she has been poor most of her life. I just think of all the good the money she spent on cigarettes could have done.
+GhileMear250 I'm so sorry about your mom.I just do it now and then. I think I'll stop.
Thanks. It it sad to see. Especially knowing that she had to fight through the discomfort of learning to smoke just to look cool with her friends. This was the 1950's though, surely we have evolved some since then, I hope.
+GhileMear250 I'm gonna stop because all it does is give me headaches and make me worry about myself more...
Good job. I'm proud of you for listening to your body and brain.
She has such a cute smile
sublime

Mahogany Sessions - where do you hire the people who film these videos? They're so beautiful! Any way you're thinking of branching the musicians into the US?
They also featured Matt Corby, who is from Australia.
You don't have to be! They just had jack johnson on!

Wow, watching an amazing video with an amazing artist then reading a top comment written by one of youtube's finest. So fantastic. Only with Mahogany.
What does a guy need to do to get a job with Mahogany? I can be the US based guy. .lol
She is the best! Love the authenticity of her voice.
I loved it after 30 seconds.
yea, these people have amazing talent, and the songs are great, I've even downloaded some of them to MP3 so to hear them when I wish :)
Thank you so much Mahogany. I have no doubt that the work to find these people and all the video shootings must be hard, but please keep it up! With love from Malaysia :D
How on earth does Mahogany manage to find incredible musicians every single time?
I know i can always come here for true musicianship and talent, and its lovely being able to depend on you, Mahogany. A thousand thankyou's for bringing these people together.
Beautiful
