Uptight

The Cribs

Compositor: The Cribs

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
