Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

This Weight

This weight is weighing on my heart

This weight is tearing us apart

This weight is weighing on my soul

And it just won't leave me alone

You know I'm talking about this weight

You know I'm talking about this weight

In the neighborhood people watching me

Got to move to protect my sanity

Anonymity is all I want you see

You may think it's mediocrity, but

You know I'm talking about this weight

You know I'm talking about this weight

And this Hollywood ain't no good

I would rather be like Robin Hood

If I could only loose this

You know I'm talking about this weight

You know I'm talking about this weight

And this Hollywood ain't no good

I would rather be like Robin Hood

If I could only loose this

You know I'm talking about this weight

You know I'm talking about this weight

In the very first it was rock and roll

Set me free in body and soul

But this weight is just bringing me down

It's never satisfied every time I go to town

You know I'm talking about this weight
