Sitting on Top of the World
Mr. Right & Mr. Wrong Lyrics

The lyrics to Mr. Right & Mr. Wrong's song "Sitting On Top Of The World" capture the sentiments of someone who's recently been left by their lover. The lyrics tell a story about a woman leaving the man one summer day and never coming back. The singer, however, is not bothered by her departure, and states that he's 'sitting on top of the world.' These lines are likely meant to convey a sense of strength and resilience in the face of heartbreak. Rather than dwelling on the pain, the man seems to be focused on finding ways to move on.

The lyrics take a darker turn when the singer says he's going down to the hardware shop to buy a hacksaw. He sings about wanting to 'free [his] heart' and 'cut that pain away.' Although we don't know exactly what he plans to do with the saw, the implication is that he's considering hurting himself or someone else. Next, the singer says he's going to the graveyard to buy a tombstone because he's lived in the same town for too long. This line can be interpreted in a few different ways. Perhaps, after the breakup, the singer wants to completely uproot his life and start over somewhere new. On the other hand, the reference to the graveyard could suggest that the singer is experiencing suicidal thoughts, and is contemplating ending his life.

Overall, these lyrics paint a complex picture of someone struggling to come to terms with a painful breakup. Although the man claims to be 'sitting on top of the world,' his actions suggest that he's struggling to manage the emotional fallout from his relationship ending.
