THE SKY IS TOO HIGH

by Graham Coxon

That's all I wanna do:

I saw you today
you were too far away
it hard me to say
hurt me to say
the words
the words i have to say
there ain't no sound
when you're around
and it gets me down
yeah it gets me down
my life is so brown
I just want to be with you
that's all i wanna do
x2
inside my brain
it's just not the same
cos' it's startde to rain
it's started to rain
i just want to be with you
that's all i wanna do
x2

Where'd you go?:

Where'd you go?
dark eyed traveller
I almost feel you breathe
where'd you go?
dark eyed traveller
can you even hear me speak?
you make things bright
when they took the night away
led me inside and kissed all my tears away
said you were here to stay
where'd you go?
in the morning
when I was way down with dream
where'd you go?
in the morning
when fever pulled me down strea
you made things bright
and you took the light away
lend me your eyes and show me a brand new way
now i feel dead today

In a salty sea:

long time on the phone line
there's sunshine when i dial 9
small breaths from words
like crystals in warm air
and I want you for my very very own
in a salty sea, our voices meet
x2

A day is far too long:

on sticks and sand, lost my money, lost my hands
stood on my brain, too much salt in my veins
and i thought pain was clean
and i thought hearts were strong
but bones aren't sticks anymore
and day is far too long
so many days, never needing any grace
live for kicks and danger, there'd be beauty anyway
and i thought pain was clean
and i thought hearts were strong
but bones aren't sticks anymore

R U lonely?:

when all the nights are dream
and not really what they seem
I cut my hair in spite
and set my hands on fire
are you lonely? x3
in the daylights hours
I go out and kill the flowers
faces all to clear
keep on looming near
are you lonely? x3

I wish:

I wish the music could play by itself
shredded fingers - no ideas
I wish this rainy day could be the last
could the work end - what a god send
I wish I could stop wishing you were here
but I don't want to - cause I still want you
I wish I didn't feel so flippin mad
don't wanna scare you - just wanna love you
I wish my life could last a thousand years
then i'd be clever - and i build a heaven
I wish I could bring Nick Drake back to life
he'd understand - hold my hat band
I wish a constant stream of happy shit
live forever - in world of leather
I wish the rain would just leave me alone
I can't wear that - stupid rain hat
I wish I was in Californ-I-A
perno perfume - in the Danube
I wish the thing of love meant just one thing
cinderella - salmonella

Hard + Slow:

Treat me hard + slow
don't let me go
ooo oooh
ooooooh
x2
strip me off my clothes
kiss hard + slow
ooo ooh
ooooooh
x2

Me you, me two:

Me you
me two
trying to begin x2
me you
me two
trying to begin x2
and the wind will blow
but my love won't go
my love won't go
me you
me two
trying to begin x2

Waiting:

waiting for my friends x4
and I don't want no one to know
I can't talk with you x4
if you don't want me to
waiting for my friend x4
and I don't want no one to know

Who the fuck?:

I stole the bottle of gin from over the counter and ran
I knew I'd been seen I scarpered stifling giggles down
the street and hid round a corner on a side street
I heard him huffing and the sound of his big feet against
the paving, he was getting close as he rounded the corner
I sighted him up down the barrel of the gun and on seeing
his expression change to one of horror + confusion jerked
back the trigger; his body was jolted back by the force of
the bullet + his feet flew forward, I saw bright little rivulet
of blood are into the air and i slid the gin into the waistband
of my trousers
Who you the fuck lookin' at? x4
is there really a thing like feeling too much?
can you really escape + numb the real?
There's a way of saying way of saying a shape - I feel a
certain shape and it's complicated it's not like square or
a circle it's like crystal or diamond it's clean, hard,
unfathomable and it ends in an augmental kiss
it ends in an augmental kiss
Who the fuck you lookin' at? x4
rock stars are NOT cool
they're full of his guy they call satan
kids stuff oozing from their mouths
they wear the shoes of dead soldiers shot by soldiers, valium
horses trotting squeezing through their rasberry blood
sometimes I feel so stoopid I wanna quit - get out of it cus
I hate this world and everyone in it - the fat Bald men who
run it - the fat bald men
Who the fuck you lookin' at? x4
