this song in no way belongs to me, i just think it is a good song
lyrics - I was waiting for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue
I woke up laughing
I broke into a sweat
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun
I woke up laughing
I was flat on my back
I was taking a plunge
It was making a stand but my plan was undone
I woke up laughing
Well I planned an escape for the middle of June
But I drug too fast and I fire too soon
I woke up laughing
Woke up laughing

You make yourself a fortune, out in Hong Kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return your home has blown away
You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose face
You're not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box

  • Ha!

    I always thought the lyric was

    "I was making a stand but my fly was undone"

  • loves it

  • Yay!

    

  • I stand corrected...cooler...this is decidedly different than the other version...

  • Not the superior original I've heard before I guess it's called the REMIX version now, but before there were clips up of him doing it live during the tour for "Clues"

  • with legendary, BONAPARTE, on steel drums...R.I.P
