Crawling up a Hill(CD Single)

Katie Melua Crawling up a Hill(CD Single) Lyrics
1.Crawling Up A Hill

Every morning (a)bout half past eight,
My Mummer wakes me says,
Don't be late,
Get to the office,
tryin' to concentrate,
My life is just a slow train
crawling up a hill.

So I stop one day to figure it out,
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt,
To sing the blues that I know about,
My life is just a slow train
crawling up a hill.

Minute after minute,
Second after second,
Hour after hour goes by,
Working for a rich girl,
Staying just a poor girl,
Never stop to wonder why.

So here I am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.


From the album 'Call Off The Search'

Every morning (a)bout half past eight,
My Mummer wakes me says,
Don't be late,
I get to the office,
tryin' to concentrate,
My life is like a slow train
crawling up a hill.

So I stop one day to figure it out,
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt,
To sing the blues that I know about,
My life is just a slow train
crawling up a hill.

Minute after minute,
Second after second,
Hour after hour goes by,
Working for a rich girl,
Staying just a poor girl,
Never stop to wonder why.
So here I am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music
that won't bring me down,
Life is just a slow train.

So here I am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
My life is just a slow train
crawling up a hill


2.Jack's Room

Sunday, mom was cleaning up Jack's room,
I could call it
the beginning of this houshold's doom.
After knowing her son for 18 years,
she did not expect to find these items here.

In Jack's room, behind the cupboard,
she finds pretty stockings,
and dresses and heels.
In Jack's room, behind the cupboard,
she finds pretty dresses and heels.

Down the stairs in a confused state of mind,
mother tells dad:
'Our son's got something to hide'.

As he follows her back up to Jack's room,
really not knowing what to presume,

In Jack's room,
behind the cupboard
they find pretty stockings,
and dresses and heels.
In Jack's room, behind the cupboard,
they find pretty dresses and heels.

And now Jack's walking home,
thinks there is nothing wrong,
he even stopped to buy some flowers,
for his dearest folks
'cause they're such a joke,
they want to clean his room for hours.

And now Jack's in a confused state of mind,
mother asks him,
he doesn't know how to reply.

Then dad suddenly goes bright red and says:
'I've got something to confess...'

In Jack's room, behind the cupboard
there're my pretty stockings,
and dresses and heels.
In Jack's room, behind the cupboard,
there're my pretty dresses and heels.'

(Interlude)

In Jack's room, behind the cupboard
they find pretty stockings,
and dresses and heels.
In Jack's room, behind the cupboard,
they find pretty dresses and heels.
