Winehouse, Amy - Close To The Front Lyrics






Only paid attention in your lessons
I Sat close at the front so I could see
Your enthusiastic demonstrations
Teaching to a class of only me
And I couldn?t speak directly to you
Without stuttering or turning red
So looking back I don't know how I handled it, yeah
Futile frustration in my head

[Chorus 1x:]
I can't help but analyze your actions,
Neglecting mine
Before I know I've fallen hard
And now I tread water in time

Hated it when I saw them together
I sat around waiting for shit to end
Unconsciously I tried to sabotage it
To get revenge on my best friend
Because I was in love with him before her
I had just cause to grieve
So not long after she broke up with him
I got my closure on new years eve

[Chorus 2x]

I love all the bickering and insults
And when I shout at you and you smile
Making coffee while my mind spills over
How I catch your art once in a while
Shouldn?t I have grown a little wiser?
Why haven't I learned my lesson yet?
And although I have made my love progresses
I tend to learn as much as I forget

[Chorus 3x]

    This song is so amazing. It blows my mind how much of a talent she was...

  15. L.... S....

    Wo ok Winos a whole next level lol this as if she wld have collab'd with Thelonius Monk or Miles Davis during the Birth of Cool era... Such a genius lost to us all

  16. r.... ....

    What a great 'unknown' song of her, omg :D

  17. A.... G....

    I like to think that this is how the collab she was going to do with Massive Attack circa 2003 would've sounded like. That sampling at the beginning , damn ill

  18. F.... W....

    Who the fuck is Adele??

  19. V.... V....

    So good. Sooooo good.

  20. c.... ....

    U N I Q U E

  21. A.... S....

    Thank you so much for this upload.

  22. P.... A....

    Why are y'all comparing Amy and Adele?? They're completely different, I don't understand.

    P.... A....

    People dont know how to compliment artists without comparing them it seems like

  23. W.... J....

    Hoi Lieve Amy ik geloof in you jij jij leeft nog meer dan vroeger leven wat moet dat genieten zijn voor jou dank je wel schat wat doe je het goed wees niet bang maar geniet van je leven nu ik hou van jou ik ben je al eens tege komen in een Supermarkt met je vriendinnen veel liefde allen maar her beste voor ons schat we hebben al zoveel moeten lijden when tomorow comes

    Happy Birthday Amy! Gone but not forgotten.....RIP

  26. I.... ....

    My Queen <3 Miss you Amy.

  27. A.... R....

    What is it with comparing Adele to Amy? Adele always looked up to and deeply respected Amy. That being said, Adele never tried to copy Amy's sound or her style and she never covered one of her songs. Calm yo asses down.

    A.... R....

    Afrah Rasheed

    A.... R....

    Afrah Rasheed thank you, lol. this has nothing to do with Adele

    A.... R....

    I hate we lost an artist like Amy and when you hear the words in her songs make so much sense, and she was so beautiful. None of her songs sound the same I love all of her music, she was in a league all by herself AWESOME!!!! RIP Amy  we love you.

    Randall Vasquez mate wtf Adele and Amy are very different and Adele ain’t tryna be no one

    R.... V....

    That's great because nor does
    Adele want to be Amy!

    R.... V....

    @sophia frfr that thing is stupid. Adele has said multiple times she is inspired by Amy. I am a HUGEE Amy fan I just don't think Adele wants to be here

  39. E.... S....

    I love B to B ,,but her Frank album. Is too awesome

  40. D.... T....

    This is simply PERFEEECT!!!

  41. W.... ....

    Amy reigns! Fuck Miley/Minge and rhinna! Will never be another Amy

  42. E.... R....

    This is a Frank recording, not Back To Black. It was on a 3 track 10" Take The Box promo. I own it myself and it also includes a rare recording of I Heard Love Is Blind, live.

    E.... R....

    Had to include that extra bit of yourself in there to boost your ego, didn't you? I'd also like to note that it's on the second Rehab CD in the 2 CD set. It's the second track.

    E.... R....

    Elias Ravn I wish I had those licks. Do you have access to the other side of any wine house? Trying to get my hands on it or s recording

  43. C.... B....

    I love this song...probably in my top 5 AJW songs. Brilliant

    love this song fuck me !!!

    k.... b....

    It's great!

  45. H.... J....

    I hate that English is not my native language. Although I cannot understand the lyric very well, I like this song very much!!!! Amy is a genius!

    H.... J....

    You can find lyrics online for many songs if you search using the word "lyrics," the artist's name and the song title:
    lyrics amy winehouse "close to the front"

  46. M.... L....

    Eu não me canso de ouvir!!!!

    a.... ....

    Back to Black B-sides.

  56. B.... ....

  64. f.... ....

    Thank you much!

  65. F.... D....

    In the book 'Amy ,my daughter' (written by her father), you can read about the background of some of her songs ;)

  66. S.... D....

    sssssssssssssssshow

  67. p.... v....

    Another Angel goes home to heaven too quick

  68. r.... ....

    What a waste of angels.

  69. J.... O....

    i love her moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

  70. R.... ....

    IKR! When I heard that 'Me and Mr Jones' was about her and Nas (Nasir Jones) I was overcome with inexplicable joy

  71. j.... ....

    if amy had been born first, everyone would compare the greats to her.
    no disrespect to the greats

    j.... ....

    Well yeah, because Amy herself is a great. People always compare talented artists to previous "greats".

  72. T.... B....

    She had tremendous creativity using feedback from all of her daily life as transparent as it could be without any censorship..

  73. f.... ....

    Know what I want? To get in that little, brilliant head of hers to know the story behind these lyrics, and many others. I would very much like some sort of biographical sketch from all of these mini story-songs, she is that interesting to me.

    f.... ....

    She has a few songs where she sings about a teacher, possibly a guitar or music teacher with whom she is in love and competing with her best friend for

  74. C.... ....

    agreed then

  75. A.... C....

    You sum up so well how i feel about Amy.

  76. S.... A....

    hellaawesome

  77. T.... B....

    If she had not ever existed, you would not be able to create someone like her even in your imaginary world.

    T.... B....

    This may be the strangest attempt at a compliment in history

  78. L.... ....

    yo también, cada vez que abro un video aparece un comercial, no aguanto a esperar a "OMITIR ANUNCIO"

  79. f.... ....

    y odio los comercialesss

  80. f.... ....

    amo la voz de esta mujer!!

  81. j.... j....

    ohh i see C:

  82. P.... M....

    You got that right!!! :-)

  83. j.... j....

    @LadyBrochTuarach but this is soul music. is not jazz lol

  84. w.... ....

    Its so depressing knowing she's gone. So talented!

  85. T.... B....

    Since her decease, songs have gone into depression..particularly the ones which have never experienced to work with her. With admire and hope, the expectation to be sung by her one day in future, died forever.
    It was actually the death of expectations, which gave rise to such a deep sorrow and frustration and NOT her physical loss. No doubt, Amy's music and soul will live forever.

  86. S.... S....

    i love her but she wouldnt be anything without Billie Holiday in her soul....give respect where it is due....

  87. E.... C....

    @Shamagogue hell yeah

  88. S.... A....

    ...She's the Empress of Jazz!!!

  89. S.... A....

    @KPLJr ...No she's not the Queen...She's the Empress of Jazz!!!

  90. T.... B....

    Every syllable of lyrics are handled with superflous delicacy..so much sensousness..not planned in advance with efforts, but by intuition and by improvisation. That is a strict proof of ultimate talent and a genius.. there is no tiny doubt about it. Nobody can say, this is by chance only. Chance hits you once or twice. We know, she was not cheating the machines, since it is not a casino here and there are no machines

  91. P.... ....

    Best song ever!

  92. l.... ....

    @MrKenndawg I think you said it all!!! I can't say enough how talented she was!!!

  93. T.... B....

    @LadyBrochTuarach Can only congratulate you, nothing less..You expressed all my feelings..nothing was missing for such limited comment.

  94. m.... ....

    @sylicone221 Hey little boy no porn here. You should just run along.

  95. Y.... t....

    por q fuiste tan estupida sendo la mejor igual te amo y omo vos no habra otra jamas ...tan bella te amo ..eres la mejr

  96. T.... B....

    This is a hardcore!!

  97. C.... ....

    @LadyBrochTuarach I know better singers than Amy... Sting, Morrison, Hendrix, Budgie

  98. S.... H....

    I really console with all who miss AMY WINEHOUSE- resspect- love & peace- my deep consulation Amy gives me much with her music

  99. J.... B....

    @sylicone221 too bad she was cremated..TEEHEHEHE...idiot.

  100. m.... ....

    R.I.P AMY
