Half A World Away - Live From The National Bowl, Milton Keynes / 1995

[Intro]

And this is a song about thinking that you're in love and then finding out you're actually just drunk

[Verse 1]

This could be the saddest dusk ever seen

To turn to a miracle, high-alive

My mind is racing, as it always will

My hands tired, my heart aches

I'm half a world away, here in my head

[Chorus]

Sworn to go it alone, hold it along

Haul it along and hold it

Go it alone, hold it along

Hold

[Verse 2]

Oh, lonely deeps and hollows

Half a world, half a world away

My shoes are gone, my life is spent

I 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

And haul it along and hold it

Go it alone, hold it along

And hold

[Verse 3]

Oh, this lonely world is wasted

Pathetic eyes, high-alive

Blind eye that turns to see

The storm it came up strong

It shook the trees and blew away our fear

I couldn't leave it here

[Chorus]

To go it alone, hold it along

Haul it along and hold it

Go it alone, hold it along

And hold

Go it alone, hold it along

Haul it along and hold it

Backwards, blackbirds, forwards and fall

And hold

[Verse 1]

Oh, and this could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen

To turn to a miracle, high-alive

My mind is racing, as it always will

My hands tired, my heart aches

I'm half a world away to go

[Outro]
