Natalie Imbruglia - Lukas Lyrics






They call him Lukas,
Climbing the stairs to talk to you,
Coming to tell his story,
Every single one of which is true,

Hello Lukas,
I'm pleased to meet you, now how you do?

So they go driving,
Up to the river like lovers do,
You smell like the summer,
Maybe the summer just smells of you,
One day i'm gonna be a famous writer,
Some look like love in the afternoon,
It was all Lukas could say,
Maybe one day we could run away,
Run away,

[Chorus x2]
ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I thought you'd never ask

Now here comes Lukas,
He'd done everything you wanted to,
It's 20 years later,
Come back to do what he promised to,
He'd come back to make her happy,
But these things don't always wait for you,
And poor Lukas was late,
For when he got back she've been married a day,
Gone away...

[Chorus x2]
ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I thought you'd never ask,

And Lukas would say,
For a million lonely people,
Another lonely day,
For a million hearts that open,
A million break,
And the world's just a fallen angel
In my wake,
High up in heaven you can hear them say,
Looking for Lukas
He'is always running away,

ooh ooh ooh ooh,
ooh ooh ooh ooh,
ooh ooh ooh ooh,
ooh ooh ooh ooh

Natalie Imbruglia Lukas Comments
  1. R.... M....

    Canta como los angeles no hay que negarlo aprendan regetoneros de pacotilla

  2. b.... s....

    Is this song on any of her albums?

  3. L.... D....

    Hi! They call me Lukas :)

  4. Z.... M....

    Try and find it on Spotify, a-holes. (Spotify are the a-holes, not you. Corporate leeches.)

  5. P.... V....

    Beautiful song and beautiful Natalie

  6. T.... R....

    This very Viva La Vida sounding Chris Martin would've been better for the song, but Natalie Imbruglia sang this beautify ❤

    T.... R....

    They should have sung it together. It would be beautiful.

  7. G.... ....

    why did my fav band give a song with my name to someone else :(

  8. R.... C....

    A lot of comments on here about Coldplay giving away this track. I think Natalie Imbruglia sounds amazing on this - but this song would have probably been given more of a promotional push if it had been released by Coldplay. In many ways, that highlights the tragedy of the music business - wherein songs are not promoted and relegated to obscurity just based on who the singer is. Every song should be evaluated on its merit as opposed to the "in the moment" star factor of the artist performing the song. It would have been great to see Natalie Imbruglia have a comeback with this song. I am still glad she got this song. Not releasing this as the lead single for her "Come to life" album was a misfire.

  9. H.... S....

    I know you will read this one day. I LOVE your singing and my name is Lukas. You dont know how many times you have soothed me and put me out of my sorrow. I feel like this song was meant for me. Gg

    H.... S....

    Also ignore coldplay fanbois

  10. H.... ....

    I am a little upset that Chris Martin gave this song away, but I still love the song. Natalie did great while singing it!

  11. T.... B....

  15. p.... v....

  16. E.... R....

    Why she didnt release this track, God knows!!

  17. b.... s....

    c'est une Australienne

  18. p.... j....

    funny how literally anything this version changed makes it worse in comparison to the original. the banjo, the new drum backing and so on. cept her voice, I actually like it

  19. N.... ....

    sorry but, Not as good as Coldplay's original.

    N.... ....

  21. 1.... s....

    what a lovely voice and melody!

  22. z.... ....

    BRIAN ENO?!? You mean the same guy who made the Windows 95 sound? Ironic af man.

    z.... ....

    SpeedsMyGame Yeah and the guy who produced Viva la Vida and Mylo Xyloto haha

  23. S.... M....

    They call him Lukas
    Climbing the stairs to talk to you
    Coming to tell his stories
    Every single one of which is true
    "Hello Lukas, I'm pleased to meet you
    Now how do you do?"

    So they go driving
    Out to the river like lovers do
    You smell of the summer
    Maybe the summer just smells of you

    One day I'm gonna be a famous writer
    Some book like 'Love In The Afternoon'
    It was all Lukas could say
    Maybe one day we could run away, run away

    I thought you'd never ask
    I thought we'd never last

    Now here comes Lukas
    He'd done everything he wanted to
    It was 20 years later
    Come back to do what he promised to

    He'd come back to make her happy
    But these things don't always wait for you
    And poor Lukas was late 'cause when he got back
    She'd been married a day, gone away

    I thought we'd never last
    I thought you'd never ask

    And Lukas would say
    For a million lonely people another lonely day
    For a million hearts that open, a million break

    And the world's just a fallen angel in my wake
    High up in heaven you can hear them say
    Looking for Lukas but Lukas was always running away

    that little "CNET" snippet in the middle lol.

  24. J.... G....

    Natalie Imbruglia and Dido really good looking girls. One British and one Australian.

  25. �.... S....

    Coldplay should've kept this song...

    �.... S....

    გეთანხმები

  26. A.... P....

    Imagino essa música relançada pelo Chris no seu disco solo.

  27. D.... L....

    Wish she could have released this as a single.

  28. W.... S....

    First Gravity to that crap wanna-be-rockstars band Embrace, then this... man Chris just loves to give away his best songs...

    W.... S....

    And now On My Way Home to Pentatonix... damn Chris

    W.... S....

    Wilbert Cubero i think he didint know his songs were amazing thats way he give it away

    W.... S....

    Aris Alcantara no I think he knew they were good I guess he just felt they'd sound better sung by someone else

  29. P.... M....

    Why, Coldplay? WHY?!

    P.... M....

    Becuz they re coldplay
    They like share things

  30. p.... c....

    This kinda sounds like America's Sister Golden Hair
    Lol

  31. P.... L....

    _"and Paul Lucas was late..."_ 2:15 I'm famous!

    P.... L....

    hahahahahahahaj

  32. M.... B....

    cool video, have a look at my channel too.

  33. L.... ....

    she royally fucked this song up

    L.... ....

    no she didn't

    L.... ....

    Lack of soul and heart. This is no different than any pop starlets rendition if they had the chance to cover. Typical indistinguishable karaoke effort. What a waste if you can appreciate the instrumentals that go behind this track. I didn't say only Chris can deliver it justice. I'm open minded to a female cover. The pool of female talent out there I am certain can deliver more than a subpar effort.

  34. E.... L....

    that´s my song haha my name is lukas

  35. B.... W....

    I love Natalie Imbruglia ❤️❤️❤️

  36. m.... ....

    確かにcoldplayの面影がある曲。めっちゃ好き

  37. A.... R....

    This would be WAY better if Coldplay sang it...Natalie Imbruglia is a good singer, don't get me wrong, but I think it's better suited towards Chris' voice...

    A.... R....

    fuck coldplay

    A.... R....

    you cant trust people Padge, people like Coldplay and voted for the nazis

    A.... R....

    Arjav Rawal Stayed here because of Natalie

  38. v.... ....

    dammit chris!!! 

  39. V.... O....

    Came here because of Natalie Imbruglia! WOW!

  40. D.... L....

    Came here because of Coldplay 

  41. H.... ....

    This song is way too Coldplay for Natalie Imbruglia.

    H.... ....

    @Harmiennn I think it suits her really well:) the best song on the album actually, don't get why it wasn't the lead single coz the radios might love it.

    H.... ....

    It sounds good, but in my head I just keep hearing Chris Martin singing the song :)

    H.... ....

    HarmieP in your opinion yes, however I do think she has great vocals, and Chris Martin knew what he was doing

    H.... ....

    You're wrong Cianne dear.

  42. �.... �....

    лучшая певица и женщина

  43. L.... p....

    stink oor been overgeef

    L.... p....

    ... Couldn't agree more :)

  44. T.... R....

    Ich unlike alles was Lukas heißt sry

  45. D.... ....

    So shit

  46. J.... N....

    Composition of chris remained :D
    but only voice Is diffrent
    Partial Colplay Product

  47. E.... B....

    coldplay needs to perform this on their next tour:)

  48. J.... H....

    If you think, Green Eyes is about Gwyneth, you're wrong. It was written and released more than a year before the two met.

  49. J.... H....

    I'd rather be a poor man's U2, than a rich man's anything...

  50. a.... w....

    Guy doesn't NEED to kiss the floor to draw attention to himself, I can guarantee that at least a third of the audience, (particularly females) would be looking at him throughout the whole concert! (He's fit!)

  51. J.... G....

    Of course. Natalie Imbruglia is a good singer.

  52. A.... ....

    man i wish coldplay didnt give this song away. i feel that this song would be great for them. i think all the lyrics are chris martins, but this singer did a good job with the song.

  53. l.... c....

    hermosa canción, de coldplay :D

  54. L.... M....

    excelente cancion

  55. T.... S....

    I'm here because of Coldplay

  56. A.... H....

    I could imagine Chris Singing this

  57. T.... ....

    i would die to see Chris singing it!!

  58. J.... W....

    Its awesome singing Chris Martins notes with this, great harmony

  59. v.... ....

    Привет из России! Она замечательная, великолепная певица. Молодчинка!

  60. P.... ....

    coldplay brought me here.

  61. N.... S....

    Their music isn't even remoteley similar.

  62. J.... K....

    I think coldplay is a poormans u2

  63. d.... ....

    ahaha, ok i will

  64. P.... S....

    Actually it's this version with the vocals erased. I've seen it and it's identical except with the track with vocals missing.

    P.... S....

    they are similar, but you are totally wrong

  65. d.... ....

    i have a feeling this is a girl chris wrote a song "green eyes" about...
    her eyes a green-bluish tho :/

  66. F.... D....

    i mean,you can hear it vaugly in the backround....but....

  67. F.... D....

    hey guys,there is an actual a coldplay cover of this however,they seem to have erased chris martins vocals:(

    F.... D....

    actually Chris Martin wrote this song and gave it to Natalie

  68. e.... ....

    We all know it's Chris not Lukas !! Man has talent & everything he plays its music magic !! Wish Chris release all songs that haven't been !! Mosses & specially " Famous Painters "

  69. L.... C....

    the song is so personal for Chris to sing on a coldplay commercial. I'm sure Chris will make a more positive song one day

  70. J.... ....

    Martin later confirmed the information. In an interview he said he had asked Imbruglia to record one of the band's songs which, he thinks, turned out great adding "we've given her the best Coldplay song of all time [. . .] she sounds [. . .] brilliant on it. I think she has a very unique talent and an incredibly unique voice.

  71. �.... �....

    Наташка. Молодчина!
    Кто, пёрнет, пОрву.

  72. s.... ....

    i would really like to hear coldplay perform this seeing as chris wrote it

  73. H.... ....

    Guy is quite shy and doesnt say that much in interviews with the other guys.
    I play bass for 1 year now and without lessons I can play all their full albums. Some songs are hard to learn but even the more easier songs have awesome basslines. Its indeed more about if it fits the song. And I dont think funky basslines really fits in Coldplay songs. Maybe its the best he can maybe not but he's holding it back cuz it doesnt fit the song. We might never know.

  74. A.... M....

    One of my top-100 all-time favourites.

  75. R.... F....

    this album should have been a sucesss its a really good album

  76. P.... S....

    would be one of coldplays best songs

  77. s.... ....

    What I would give to hear Chris sing this... Anyway, I think Natalie does a fine job and I quite like this ^^

  78. D.... Y....

    I partially agree with you, in that matter a bassline that js just one note played over and over again could work better than a very complicated and hard to play line, but Coldplay is, and always has been about expression. The thing I'm saying is that Guy is not expressing himself. I saw him play twice this year alone, and it's like he's invisible while the other members (especially Martin) are all over the place; running around the stage, kissing the floor and making snow angles in the confetti

  79. l.... ....

    Okay, I agree with you on how the song didn't really change,but the bass line is pretty much the same. I've got to say, however, that Guy is not a bad performer. It isn't about skill, friend, it's about the emotion that goes into it, and Guy's bass lines, while not hard, are sufficient for the song and that should be all the matters--the song--not his level of skill.

  80. n.... ....

    damn, chris woulda been perfect for this song. she's pretty good still.

  81. h.... ....

    Just found this. Wow.

  82. S.... P....

    I would have loved if Chris sang this.

  83. E.... ....

    the very fact that you at first proclaim that everything after Rush Of Blood sucked, or LP2, and subsequently say that everything after their third album, which would be X&Y, sucked, implies that you have not yet formulated your opinions well enough. Kindly return when you're more sure of what you mean.

  84. n.... ....

    This song have other style than old songs natalie.

  85. r.... c....

    rester pure et originelle

  86. T.... ....

    Natalie, I love You!

  87. I.... G....

    chris martin has a boner for himself. hi natalie.

  88. D.... Y....

    "Pop-sounding song" < laughed at that.
    What exactly did she change to make the song an entirely diffrent genre? The lead (guitar/piano) or text didn't change even though we all want Chris's awesome vocals (not to say that Imbruglia is bad). The only real thing that DID change, is the bassline. And by god, for all the love I have for Coldplay, Guy is an awfull perfomer, sure songwriting's good and all, but any bass player that played bass for at least 2 years could play what he plays.

  89. K.... G....

    NOOOOOOOOOO!!! PLEASE DON'T TAKE COLDPLAY'S SONGS AND RUIN IT!!

  90. V.... ....

    This song seems loosely based off of Suzanne Vega's "Luka" but sang from the other person's point of view.

  91. T.... K....

    she has much emotion

  92. J.... J....

    Wow, she ruined the song. Coldplay's version is so much better

  93. M.... M....

    Coldplay's instrumental is way better than this. The only reason this is good is you can figure out where the lyrics go in the instrumental. Chris would be way better. This is such a sweet and peaceful song and she turned it into some stupid pop sounding song. What a shame on Coldplay's masterpiece. Absolutely one of Coldplay's best songs!

  94. t.... ....

    ah that was beautiful imo :D

  95. t.... ....

    sounds like my story^^

  96. K.... ....

    The beeps in the background at 1:37 is typical Coldplay... Those parts you know after just one time of listening and you'll sing in the rest of the song when they aren't "supposed" to be there. :-P

  97. S.... S....

    Lukas is and was my first love. He alwas came back to me and I always went back to him. But last time I "refused" him for several reasons. We live so far from each other but he will always have a huge piece of my heart. I will always remember him. My sweet sweet German boy.

  98. E.... ....

    It's a shame to see everyone here is JUST talking about Coldplay and Chris Martin. Yes, it's nice to know the roots of the song, however your in the wrong place. I think Natalie does a splendid job on this. The fact that this is a hard to find album disappoints me a bit.

  99. E.... B....

    Ótima música, a Natalie Imbruglia está perfeita cantando essa canção, não tem como ser melhor do que isso, eu Amei! Tudo de bom!

  100. P.... ....

    Please, Coldplay, make Your Version of this song.
    It would be wonderful...
