Crawling Up A Hill

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Every morning (a)bout half past eight,

My Mummer wakes me says,

"Don't be late",

Get to the office, tryin' to 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 Iüm 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 (a)bout half past eight,

My Mummer wakes me says,

"Don't be late",

I get to the office, tryin' to 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.

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
