lyrics

HIGH ON HIGH

The ancient greeks are playing cards
Down in the High St night café
A cloud of music from the Thornbury Theatre
Carries me away
Where the long beard hipsters hang
Happy as hippies sipping chai
I’m floating on the feeling of this place
I’m high on High

Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me but this town
Lately I’m finding
All my old dreams are shrinking down
All that I need is you my friends

There are jazz cats at the tram stop
There are folkies at the local
There’s a busker playing Elvis
And the drunks are getting vocal
Songs are pouring out the windows
I can’t come down if I try
You and I we’re poor but happy in this place
We’re high on High

Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me but this town
Lately I’m finding
All my old dreams are shrinking down
All that I need is you my friends

For twenty years now I have played
From bar to bar, from go to woe
If I retired this guitar
I’m sure no one would really know
But I see the world in songs
And I’ve just got to let ‘em fly
So I open up the cage and watch them soaring
High on High

Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me but this town
Lately I’m finding
All my old dreams are shrinking down
All that I need is you my friends
