"When I Fall" Lyrics:
I look straight in the window, try not to look below
Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees

[Chorus]
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And if I should try
Would you catch me if I fall?

My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
Can't look below me, or something might throw me
Curse at the windstorms that October brings

I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive

I wish I could step from this scaffold
Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead

Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
I look like a painter, behind all the grease
But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece

[Chorus]

@koolkat104 More accurately, a window washer who hates his job and as he observes the corporate guys in the buildings, he wonders what it would be like to change lives and how different it would be. They have easy jobs and make lots of money while he gets paid little to nothing to risk his life everyday. Truly a beautiful song..

I was just thinking "Holy fuck, This guy plays and sings exactly like Ed Robertson. then I got smakcked in the face with the big brick of "stop being a retard"... In all seriousness though, well done ed, a really amazing song in terms of songwriting, technique, emotion and delivery and you've completely checked all the boxes here... nothing left for me except to start a slow clap... CLAP.............CLAP.........­...CLAP...........CLAP........­..CLAP.......CLAP...CLAP...CLA­P...CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP

Am I the only one who noticed "Barenaked Ladies" is spelled wrong? lol

[YSAndTheElderGods]

I never realized how good he was at guitar, since I only ever heard them on the radio when I was younger. I'm rediscovering one of my old favorite bands, and I can't stop flipping between videos. I want to learn to play some of these songs so bad <3. Can't wait until I have a few spare hours to mill through it all ^^.
