Ritual
Hot Potato Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Each morning I change my life, that moment I spend with you
Wake me up in paradise, a coffee for me a coffee for you
Ease my mind, send my soul to heaven
Warms my heart, And fills me with expression
And I, just can't help myself
The sweetest high, I give in to my ritual with you

Hold my hand, take me to places I want to go
Without you, I'd never know the calmness of solitude
My ritual, my morning guide, you are always by my side
My peace of mind, I feel alive, away from the worries of my life
And I, just can't help myself
The sweetest high, I give in to my ritual with you

I breathe you in, I breathe you out
You leave me feeling nervous
I never thought I'd be devout

And I, just can't help myself
The sweetest high, I give in to my ritual with you




And I, just can't help myself
The sweetest high, I give in to my ritual with you

Community radio was my introduction to this epic group of performers one Friday afternoon on the way home from work. I subsequently passed your sound onto my daughter and now we have two generations in appreciation of your talent. Since seen you guys at the Metro in Sydney where you rocked to house down, with my daughter and her boyfriend in tow at the barrier. You folks are awesome!
