[[WHITE LIES COVER]]

Lights still in our eyes
Were leaving this whole fairground behind
Its a dream thats going cold

Circus never dies
The act forever haunts these skies
I know we cannot stay

Farewell to the fairground
These rides arent working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw.

This place used to gleam
I see it in my hopeful dreams
Now i had to get away
We move towards the stars
And all that we touch becomes ours
Lets keep warm till its day

Farewell to the fairground
These rides arent working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw

Well head south
Just hold my hand now
I feel like im casting off my clothes and im running through the snow towards the sunset
And im always with you

Keep on running
Keep keep on running
Theres no place like home
Theres no place like home

Keep on running
Keep keep on running
Theres no place like home
Theres no place like home

Keep on running
Keep keep on running
Theres no place like home
Theres no place like home

Keep on running
Keep keep on running
Theres no place like home
Theres no place like home

Farewell to the fairground
These rides arent working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw

Well head south
Just hold my hand now
I feel like im casting off my clothes
And im running through the snow towards the sunset
And i'm always with you.

  • she hates white lies that much?

  • come on, please stop hating so much..

    she did this cover in live lounge like many other bands do different covers.

    I for one am actually impressed that she managed to take this song and make it so much her own, it's really nothing like the original.. the simplicity and her pure voice makes this a worthy cover..

    even White lies says so.. no reason to be trollin

see all

  • Chords to this song played by Mickey on Nord Lead 2x

    Verse: Bm, D, E

    Chorus: G, Bm, F#m, A

  • Whoa guys, stop hatin'! I think she did a great job- it's just a different style. If you don't like La Roux's style, don't park here and spread all your hate to those who are just enjoying the music. If you prefer that gritty rock stuff then keep on moving because this isn't for you.

    Geez.

  • Stop hating on La Roux! >:( You don't like it, go troll another vid. Go listen to a genre of music you're intrested in. High is cool!

  • I like la roux or elly or... yeah... but this is too high. Sorry I don't like it.

  • this song was stuck in my head for weeks after my great aunt rosemary died. RIP aunt rosemary

  • Why has she ruined one of my favourite songs ever?

  • A great cover, although could be improved if she sung a key lower.

  • @LittleTheSkittle i'm not a disgrace. she's absolutely destroyed this song hahaa, i clicked on her because i was absolutely horrified that she's done a cover of such a brilliant song. good day :)

  • Eesh, whats that horrible rining sound in my ears? Oh its just La Roux trying to sing

    This is total crap. Either she thinks shes good enough to cover a White Lies song (which she isnt) or she was made to do this and couldnt be bothered so shrieked her way through to the last note. She ripped this song apart threw the pieces on the floor then realised what she'd done so tried to stick them back together with her crappy voice. White Lies put meaning into their songs, La Roux doesnt.

  • a very different twist on the original song, maybe thats what she was going for? I love the original, and I like this one
