you ruined my plans 04:22
lyrics

Ok I’m in tune, start recording I had a note on my phone And I called it the plan I’m an organised chap I’m not a caveman I like to plan things out Makes me feel in control Makes me feel like god In my own little world I never planned for this, oh no I could never plan what just happened today Cos I today I met you And then I wrote this song And you wasted my time I’m behind schedule Isn’t that sublime Isn’t that just stellar Look what you've done, you weirdo Did I ask? Did I ask to fall for you Isn’t that just swell You don’t care, oh well Look what you've done, you weirdo You've ruined my plans I never planned to fall for you this soon No no no no, n-n no no no No no no no no, We can just be friends Just a girl I know, just a pastime trend By the way just curious, do you have a boyfriend? You’re so annoying with your laugh and your hair And your eyes and your face and your voice And all the things that make me smile Leave me alone I’m trying to write a song Trying to keep my mind off you I don’t think it’s working (Don’t think it’s working) Isn’t that sublime Isn’t that just stellar Look what you've done, you weirdo Did I ask? Did I ask to fall for you Isn’t that just swell You don’t care, oh well Look what you've done, you weirdo You've ruined my plans I never planned to fall for you this soon You know I guess you’re alright You could certainly be worse You don’t make me wanna Climb into the back of a hearse You know make me laugh And I quite like laughing And I quite like you So let’s skip the faffing I hired one of my friends To be an inside man My eyes and ears While I hid in a van I’m just joking Dammit I’m not funny I’m so bad at this part But I just wanna say I think you’re sublime I think you’re just stellar Look at you you're a weirdo, you’re just like me I wanna be alone, but together, see? You’re so swell I wanna care about you more than myself Oh, you've ruined my plans, but I don’t mind I'd rather my plans be ruined by you Than by anyone else in the history of humankind

supercrush 03:03

Look at them go, aren’t they so cute together? Wish that was you and me, Wish that we could last forever I’ve got nothing to say Nothing interesting at least You don’t mind the silence, But you feel that you should speak So we speak Make up backstories for strangers that we meet It’s so hard to conversate I don’t wanna concentrate It’s so hard to demonstrate My attraction with just words It’s so hard to flirt when you’re killing random people But we’re killing them together We’re in this together Are you ready? ARE YOU READY?? Your best friend’s girlfriend’s mate Guessed it right first try Promptly I denied it But I wondered what made you cross his mind Do I make it obvious this supercrush of mine? What should we do today? What should we go and play? I’ve got something that should amuse What if I muttered the words… You choose. Ba-ba-ba-ba-baaaa Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baaaa Ba-ba-ba-ba-baaaa Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baaaa It’s so hard to conversate And I don’t wanna concentrate Yeah, it’s so hard to demonstrate My attraction with just audio It’s so hard to flirt when you’re killing random people But we’re killing them together We’re in this together YEAH!! HAHA It’s so hard to conversate And I don’t wanna concentrate And it’s so hard to demonstrate My attraction with just audio It’s so hard to flirt when you’re killing random people But we’re killing them together We’re in this together He-yehesss Yeaaahhhhh

Do you think I come across As a little bit arrogant sometimes I’m just confident on the outside But I’m a trainwreck on the in Do you think I come across As a little bit overboard sometimes I fake it till I make it and I make it Too far across the line And I hope you don’t think of me Any differently And I hope you don’t mind me Opening up I don’t wanna confuse you With my therapist I hope one day you’ll hold my hand And tell me it’s okay to not be okay I think it’s going to my head I care so much about What she thinks about me I think it’s going to my head I care so much about What she thinks about me I went on Buzzfeed and did an online quiz To see if I liked you “Yes, would you like to share your result With your friends on Facebook or WhatsApp?” NO! Am I self-centred ‘cause I think you say things When you know I’ll hear them Well I bet when you speak you forget that I exist And I hope you don’t think of me Any differently And I hope you don’t mind me Venting like this, oh-oh I hope you think of me like I think of you And sometimes I get jealous when you Laugh at someone else Laugh at me, laugh at me ‘Cause I’m the funniest one here So laugh at me, please laugh at me (Laugh at me, laugh at me, laugh at me) And I hope you don’t think of me Any differently And I hope you don’t mind me Opening up I don’t wanna confuse you with my therapist I hope one day You’ll buy me CDs, buy me noodles Recommend me lots of new bands Think about me when I’m not there Prioritise me over your friends Buy me CDs I think it’s going to my head I care so much about What she thinks about me I think it’s going to my head I care so much about What she thinks about me I think it’s going to my head I care so much about What she thinks about me I think it’s going to my head I care so much about What she thinks about me

She’s beautiful, she’s got that look The one that all the writers write in books Imagine me with her, oh wow Here’s your money, show me how She’s so bright, defeats the night It pisses me off, but it feels so right How could I end up with her? How could I end up with you? I just wanna catch your feeling I can’t stop believing You give love a different meaning All I wanna do is look in your eyes All I wanna do is tell you my lies ‘Cause I just wanna Catch your feeling tonight Oh, tonight (Yeheheahhh) Tonight Help me please, I’m lost at sea I’ve lost hope but she saves me Her friends think she’s so unhappy My friends’ humour is quite crappy I just stare, tell her that I care Everywhere I look she’s always there She’s always there! I just wanna catch your feeling I can’t stop believing Give love a different meaning All I wanna do is look in your eyes All I wanna do is tell you my lies ‘Cause I just wanna catch I just wanna catch your feeling I will always keep believing I guess now we’re even Forget about those guys, now Let me be by your side, now I just wanna catch your feeling Right now!

lanterns on the lake 05:10

I’ll take you to a lake, in the heart of paradise Take my hand, I’ll open your eyes We can go down to the bay Sit on the sand and watch the waves Watch them live, watch them die And the faint orange glow fades beneath the horizon A million stars appear just for us A million reflections on the lake A million reasons I feel safe Every point of light is a lantern Every lantern has a soul Every soul has a story That’s aching to be told This is ours, this is now This is where we wanna be Ankle deep splash your feet Are you okay with it being you and me? Oh, lanterns on the lake Oh, lanterns on the lake I might steal that guy’s boat, I’m sure he’ll understand I stole his boat for you Then we’ll drive the hijacked boat Out to the middle of the lake We’ll sing and laugh and dance and cry As I watch you die And the faint lifeless glow Fades beneath your horizon A million angels appear from above A million memories lost in your eyes A million reasons to break down and cry Oh, every point of light is a lantern Every lantern has a soul Every soul has a story That’s aching to be told This is ours, this is now This is where we wanna be Ankle deep splash your feet Are you okay with it being you and me? Every point of light is a lantern Every lantern has a soul Every soul has a story That’s aching to be told This is ours, this is now This is where we used to be Silent weep, empty lake Should’ve been me who died that day

This song is dedicated to Whoever sits in a field on the Fifteenth of June I don't know who you are I don't care what you've done Leave your worries behind you Relax in the sun Pick a field, any field Grass of green, sky of blue Please don't hate yourself I'm sure someone loves you We don't need to talk I'm happy to just sit We can just coexist We don’t need to talk I find it helps me think Helps me clear out my mind Such a feeling of tranquillity One of a kind Smile at the world And the world might smile back Please don't act surprised If I smile in your direction It's the simple things I do That hint at my affection Truth be told I sometimes frown When I look at my reflection But frowns turn upside down When a field is your protection We don't need to talk I'm happy to just sit We can just coexist We don’t need to talk Speak with your eyes There's no need to hide This field is my life, oh I don't know who you are I don't care what you've done Leave your worries behind you Relax in the sun Pick a field, any field Any field will do Don't hate yourself 'Cause I love you We don’t need to talk Speak with your eyes There's no need to hide This field is my life This field is my life Things will work themselves out Things will work themselves out, oh Things will work themselves out Things will work themselves out, yeah Things will work themselves out Things work themselves out Things work themselves out Oh, things work themselves out Things have a habit of working out, oh Things work themselves out, yeah Oh, things work themselves out

I got lost in a book, I lost my way I don't want to be found, I just wanna stay I don't wanna be hurt again, I don’t wanna change I got lost in the words, I don’t wanna be found Got lost in the waves, and I drowned Maybe I’m not needed anymore Would you notice if I walked out the door Maybe you should read between the lines I’m not okay, I’m not alright I’m trying to read between the lines Got lost in the woods, dark green and mean Can't see a thing, but there’s nothing to be seen Something tapped my back, I turn around I’m not alone, who are you What’s your subplot, are you worth lots Is anybody out there? Anybody out there? Anybody out there? Maybe I’m not needed anymore Would you notice if I walked out the door Maybe you should read between the lines I’m not okay, I’m not alright I’m trying to read between the lines Maybe I should read a little more But frankly I find most books a bore Maybe you should read between the lines I’m not okay I’m not okay I’m not okay Maybe I’m not needed anymore Would you notice if I walked out the door Maybe you should read between the lines I’m not okay, I’m not alright I’m trying to read you when I’m blind I’m not okay, I’m not alright I’m trying to hug you when I’m blind I’m not okay, I’m not alright I’m trying to kiss you when I’m blind I’m not okay, I’m not alright I’m trying to love you when I’m blind I’m not okay, I’m not alright Read between the lines Why don’t you read between the lines Come on now Read between the lines Read between the lines

Oh, when you sing Rats in the wall (rats in the wall) Bugs on the floor (bugs on the floor)

about

"you me us them" is the third album from the young UK-based indie musician Ricky Jamaraz. The album was written & recorded between April and July 2022 independently in his bedroom, with not much more than a laptop, a guitar, and a smile.

The 14-track album has a variety of vibes to offer, from the upbeat love-struck happiness of "supercrush" to the deeply introspective "dead flowers", or maybe you'd like the 1950s ballad style of "lanterns on the lake", or the cinematic grooves of "read between the lines". Whatever kind of mood you're in, there's something for everyone in "you me us them".
