Uptight

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
