They're all up-tight, up-tight I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane Late at night when I'm driving. Take me on board their beautiful ship, Show me the world as I'd love to see it. I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life They'd shut me away But I'd be alright I'm just up-tight, up-tight 4 Exit Music (for a film)Wake from your dreamsThe drying of your tears Today we escape, we escape Pack and get dressed Before your father hears us Before all hell breaks lose Breathe, keep breathing Don't loose your nerve Breathe, keep breathing I can't do this alon Sing us a song A song to keep us warm There's such a chill, such a chill You can laugh A spineless laugh We hope your rules and wisdom choke you Now we are one In everlasting peace We hope that you choke, that you choke We hope that you choke, that you choke We hope that you choke, that you choke 5 Let DownTransport.Motorways and tramlines.
