High Street 03:39
High Street Walking up the brilliant high street Shopping for that special something What do I see? She's looking at me Reflected in a storefront window She had me at the get go With her peppermint smile I was beguiled Honey if I lost you in the whirlwind of time I would only need to look into my soul And I would find You were the only one that I was looking for And every time you took a walk it brought you through my door And I'd say, "Hey, hey, hey what's happening?" And you'd say, "Hey, hey, hey, what's new?" Under the weeping willow Over at the purple grotto We had our tea Baby, just you and me In ways dearly subtle We became a couple My fingers traced The sweet curve of your face Honey if I lost you in the whirlwind of time I would only need to look into my soul And I would find You were the only one that I was looking for And every time you took a walk it brought you through my door And you'd say, "Hey, hey, hey what's happening?" And I'd say, "Hey, hey, hey, it's you." Walking up the brilliant high street Shopping for that special someone What do I see? She's looking at me What do I see? She's looking at me And she'd say, "Hey, hey, hey what's happening?" And I'd say, "Hey, hey, hey, it's you."

about

"I wrote High Street with Neil Halstead (of Slowdive and Mojave 3) over a weekend at his place in Cornwall. I was crashing on his couch and before he went out for the morning (probably surfing!) he gave me a cassette of music he was working on. I had a coffee and put words and arrangement to it. We have a demo of us doing it together and I'm still hoping we can do a nice production of it together. In the meantime, I recorded this version this week because I just couldn't keep it only in my head any longer or I might have burst." - Lach
