High Life (John Carney, Gary Clark, Eve Hewson)
I’ve been bruised and broken
I’ve been torn in ****in’ two
I’ve been working and running
Then I have to run home to you
And I’m not living in your life
And you’re not living in mine
We’ve been getting it wrong forever
We’ll get it right this time
And live in the High Life
You’re a thief, you’re a **** thief
You’re always getting caught
I’m a ***** but I’m your *****
And I’m all you’ve ****ing got
And I’m not living in your life
And you’re not living in mine
We all get what we’ve been given
But we’re not gonna give up tryin’
To live in the High Life
Living in our High Life
We’re up on the High Life
And it’s a fine night to feel alive
Living in the High Life
Living in our High Life
We’re up on the High Life
And it’s a fine night to feel alive
This song’s a love song
It’s not an apology
But sometimes I hate you
Reminding me of me
Woman, guess we’re cut from the same cloth
Fourteen years in the same block
Nine long months in your belly
Down to the Coombe and I still wasn’t ready
Three days late I arrived at the party
Smile on me face
You’re welcome me hearty
Back to the gaff in the liberties
Christening party up with the knees.
Girl, we’re cut from the same cloth
All you feel, I feel the same loss
I see your eyes in the mirror
Saint, angel, devil, sinner
Still laughin’ at life with our fists up
Still getting our tea down the chip shop
Still tough, tongues sharp as a flick knife
Still here, still living the high life
And I’m not living in your life
And you’re not living in mine
And this song’s for all you Mothers
We’re all gonna be just fine
We’re living the High Life
Living in our High Life
We’re up on the High Life
And it’s a fine night to feel alive
We’re living the High Life
Living in our High Life
We’re up on the High Life
And it’s a fine night to feel alive
Living the High Life
Living the High Life Whoo!
Living in our High Life
We’re up on the High Life
Max!?
And it’s a fine night to feel alive
And it’s a fine night to feel alive!
Living the High Life
Top o’ the World Ma! Hahaha.
Living in our High Life
We’re up on the High Life
And it’s a fine night to feel alive
Living the High Life
Living the High Life
We’re up on the High Life
