Half A World Away - Live From Into The Night On BBC Radio 1 / 1991
[Count-In]
One, two, three
One, two, three
[Intro]
This could be the saddest dusk
Ever seen
To turn to a miracle
High-alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hand's tired, my heart aches
I'm half a world away, here
My head, sworn
[Chorus]
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along, and hold it
Go it alone
And hold it along and hold
[Bridge]
Oh, this lonely deep sit hollow
Half a world
Half a world away
My shoes are gone
My life spent
Had too much to drink
I didn't think
And I didn't think of you
I guess that's all I needed
[Chorus]
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Blackbirds, backwards
Forwards and fall and hold
[Bridge]
Oh, world is wasted
Pathetic eyes
High-alive
Blind the tide that's turned the sea
This storm, it came up strong
It shook the trees and blew away our fear
I couldn't even hear
[Chorus]
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Go it alone
And hold it along
And hold
Go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along, and hold it
Blackbirds, backwards
Forwards, and fall and hold
[Bridge]
Oh, and this could be the saddest dusk
Ever seen
To turn to a miracle
High-alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hand's tired, my heart aches
I'm half a world away
To go...
