uptight

tonight it seems unsure

if i'd made it up but then

we got nine hours or more

it makes no difference

cos that thought drifts right in

on a foehn wind

and tries to take me back

so i might have to go

oh no

no-one has to tell me

i know i have to let it go

but it's so nice

being uptight

so sorry that i never will be

the kind of guy you'd like

but it's so nice

being uptight

been treated like a sister

but here's something she don't know

in her basement hangs a picture

that fucked my heart up

a memory takes my hand

a real gentleman

in every way but one

that i don't wanna know

oh no

no-one has to tell me

i know i have to let it go

but it's so nice

being uptight

so sorry that i never will be

the kind of guy you'd like

but it's alright

being uptight

got a name

all that remains

some day you know this back will break

we're not a million miles away

some day you know this back will break
