Too Uptight

Too Uptight - Graham Coxon

Written by：Graham Coxon

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
