Graham Coxon - Too Uptight lyrics

Once there was a nothing The voices rang so true The knowledge that was lacking Cut innocence in two Everything seemed too good to be right When I was 16 I was too uptight Now disappointment's shadow Reveals a colder time A harder kind of living In disillusion How can it go The fear of the night Now I am grown I'm just too uptight A slow and noble breakdown of personality Careless, heartless, soulless, No dignity My days are flown And I can't recall Feeling so alone Was I so uptight d**h creeps ever closer A darkness falls in me A scared fragmented loner Unholy A night with no end An echoing sea I'll think about me How I'm too uptight
