Crawling Up a Hill

Every morning 'bout half past eight My mama wakes me, says "Don't be late" Get to the office, tryna concentrate My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill So I stop one day to figure it out I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt To sing the blues that I know about My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill Minute after minute Second after second Hour after hour goes by Working for a rich girl Staying just a poor girl Never stop to wonder why So here I am in London town A better scene I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill Every morning 'bout half past eight My mama wakes me, says "Don't be late" I get to the office, tryna concentrate My life is like a slow train crawling up a hill So I stop one day to figure it out I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt To sing the blues that I know about My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill Minute after minute Second after second Hour after hour goes by Working for a rich girl Staying just a poor girl Never stop to wonder why So here I am in London town A better scene I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down Life is just a slow train, oh Ah, oh So, so, so here I am in London town A better scene I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill --- Crawling Up a Hill - Katie Melua
