Gaz Coombes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The water's high and the time hides you there
It all leads to the prize and to the girl in mind
The endless race to the end of the line
Ooh. Aah. Ooh. Aah. Aah.
It's alright, the end's in sight. Worry fades the soul away.
Who am I? Who am I? I couldn't operate
God knows I want it too.
It's alright, the end's in sight. Worry fades the soul away.
I'd take the hurricane for you.
Who am I? Who am I? I couldn't operate
God knows I want it too.
It's alright, the end's in sight. Worry fades the soul away.
I'd take the hurricane for you.
Who am I? Who am I? I couldn't operate
God knows I want it too.
It's alright, the end's in sight. Worry fades the soul away.
I'd take the hurricane for you.
Who am I? Who am I? I couldn't operate
God knows I want it too
I'm looking out I feel the lights of the cars
Innocence, falling pain. If I make the night, I'm home and dry.
You love, in the morning, hearing the city's song
Lay your heart down on mine
No need to cry, we're home and dry
Ooh, ooh, aah. Ooh, ooh, aah.
Ooh, ooh, aah. Ooh, ooh, aah.
It's alright, the end's in sight. Worry fades the soul away.
I'd take the hurricane for you.
Who am I? Who am I? I couldn't operate
God knows I want it too.
It's alright, the end's in sight. Worry fades the soul away.
I'd take the hurricane for you.
Who am I? Who am I? I couldn't save that soul
God knows I want it, want it, want it, want it all
God knows I want it, want it, want it, want it too

Is sitting around in the sand
Just lounging around on the beach
The water's high and the time hides you there
The tides are high and time seems to slow down when you're there
It all leads to the prize and to the girl in mind
Everything is leading up to you getting the prize and the girl you want
The endless race to the end of the line
It's a never-ending contest that ultimately leads to the same conclusion
I'd take the hurricane for you
I care for you so much that I'd brave any storm or danger to protect you
Who am I? Who am I? I couldn't operate
I'm questioning who I am and unsure of my abilities
God knows I want it too
I really want it as well, maybe even as much as God does
I'm looking out I feel the lights of the cars
I'm looking out and seeing the city lights
Innocence, falling pain. If I make the night, I'm home and dry.
Despite being innocent, I'm still dealing with pain. If I can make it through the night, then everything will be okay
You love, in the morning, hearing the city's song
You enjoy waking up to the sounds of the city in the morning
Lay your heart down on mine. No need to cry, we're home and dry
Let your heart rest on mine, don't worry about crying. We've made it and are safe
God knows I want it, want it, want it, want it all. God knows I want it, want it, want it, want it too
I want everything, and even God knows how much I want it

Best thing I can say about this is that I was never a Supergrass fan at all. It’s not bad music, it’s just not my cup of tea and that’s perfectly fine.
A friend said “You’ve got to listen to this”. It was the title track from Matador and was blown away, then again when I found out it was Gaz.
Absolutely one of my favourite artists. Such a talented and versatile songwriter.
