Sit Down – Three Songs by James 12" (JIM 3T)

LYRICS

Oh there must be some way out of this prison

There must be somewhere worth digging to

There must be some way out of this prison

There must be somewhere worth digging to

 

I was proud of my cell, it was the best on the block

I was content till I spotted the lock

Screamed at the neighbours, but they were stuck too

And I realised this was something I had to break through

 

Oh there must be some way out of this prison

There must be somewhere worth digging to

There must be some way out of this prison

There must be somewhere worth digging to

Digging to

Ate the file in the fruitcake, tried bending the bars

Banged my head against the wall, but I didn't get far

I got out of this room, led into a bigger room

Someone broke down that door, lead into a corridor

Up onto the rooftops

The sky is my ceiling

Horizons are my walls

 

Oh there must be some way out of this prison

There must be somewhere worth digging to

There must be some way out of this prison

There must be somewhere worth digging to

Digging to

Someone is guiding me

Something is lifting me

Something is taking me

 

Close to my rooftops is the birth of the rainbow

It seems more real than all of these walls

And all I've got to do

All I've got to do

And all I've got to do is jump

Is jump

Jump

Let go

Let go

Let go

 

I am everywhere I see

I'm everywhere I see

I'm everywhere I see

I'm everywhere I see

I'm everywhere I see

I'm everywhere
