The Charlatans UK Tellin Stories Lyrics
1.How High?

Lyricist:Martin Victor Blunt, Jonathan Thomas Brookes, Timothy A
Burgess, Mark V Collins, Robert Patrick Collins

How high? Oh, I can kiss the sun
Run a minute mile while you hitchhike
Love shines a light, I'm a lovin' cup
And I'm lookin' for the one who cut you up

You're not having me
You know the skies are mean
I'm hopin' for a way to free you

Love, I'm fixing holes
The ones you break up comin' from your drive
And the hand that rocks you
Cuts you up like lyrics of your life

Can't buy what I've done before
I wanna open up another door
Gotta let you pass on another path
I wanna be the king while you zig zag
On a holy road like Caine from Kung Fu
How high? oh, I can kiss the sun

Hang on to your hopes my darlin'
Don't let it slip away
And the hand that holds you
Keeps you warm and helps you live today

Love shines a light and it takes and it hurts
I know I'm right, I can bend 'til I burst
And love shines a light and repays you with us
Yeah, too right, I'm gonna pledge my time 'til the day I die

How high? Oh, I can kiss the sun
Run a minute mile while you hitch hike
Love shines a light, I'm a lovin' cup
I'll be down when you're down, I'll be up when you're up

You're not having me
You know the skies are mean
And I'm looking for a way to free you

Love, I'm fixing holes
The ones you break up comin' from your drive
And the hand that rocks you
Cuts you up like lyrics of your life

Love shines a light and it takes and it hurts
I know I'm right, I can bend 'til I burst
And love shines a light and repays you with us
Yeah, too right, I'm gonna pledge my time 'til the day I die


2.How Can You Leave Us?

Lyricist:Martin V Blunt, Jonathan T Brookes, Timothy A Burgess, Mark V
Collins, Robert P Collins

Darlin', don't you cry, whatever is yours is mine
All the pictures on your wall, I know you look up to them all
Usually love comes first, I watch as you twist and turn
I could give you mouth to mouth and only the truth would come
out

Here I come, how can you follow?
It's only a gut feelin', I don't wanna believe it
How can you leave us?
How can you bleed on us?

Darlin', you live to learn, hanging on all our words
Promise me you'll be home soon, I could rush through the city to
you
Won't find you in this world catchin' dinosaurs
No saint will save you this time round
I only wish you were here with us now

Here I come, how can you follow?
It's only a gut feelin', I don't want to believe it
How can you leave us?
How can you bleed on us?

How can you leave us?
How can you bleed on us?
How can you leave us?
How can you bleed on us?
