Graham Coxon Too Uptight lyrics

Once there was a nothing
The voices rang so true
The knowledge that was lacking
Cut innocence in two

Everything seemed too good to be right
When I was 16, I was too uptight
Now disappointment's shadow
Reveals a colder time

A harder kind of living
In disillusion, how can it go?
The fear of the night
Now I am grown, I'm just too uptight


A slow and noble breakdown of personality
Careless, heartless, soulless, no dignity
My days are flown and I can't recall
Feeling so alone was I so uptight

Death creeps ever closer a darkness falls in me
A scared fragmented loner unholy
A night with no end an echoing sea
I'll think about me how I'm too uptight
