Crawling up a hill, lyric by Katie Melua

from the songs album Call Off the Search

Every morning 'bout half past eight,
My mama 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 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"
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 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...

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...
