From This Height

performed live since september 1998 (japanese tour)

 Released on Almost Here (japanese version), june 1998.

I can only picture you
When you're looking sideways on
Hoping I don't start to fade
When the nights start drawing in

Power vacuums must be filled
Hypertension keeps us tight
Does it ever seem to you
We rely on something else?

No need to mend your ways
From this height the world
Doesn't seem so sad

Mid-july
Time to leave
I'll be late
Wait for me
Replayed the game
Doesn't seems so bad

No need to mend your ways
From this height the world
Doesn't seem so hungry
Terrified and turning on itself
Safe for you and me
I could swear that no-one else was there
No-one else is there
It doesn't seem so sad

ANDY : "I listened to From this height the other day and I hadn't listened to the recorded version of it for about a year 'cos I didn't have a copy of the japanese album and for some reason I started crying, I'm not quite sure whether it was, you know, because I thought it was really bad or… "
*Nigel is laughing*
ANDY : "or what…I dunno, something about it just really caught me, I don't know why…" (Anelyse's enormous interview, Belgium, january 1999)
According to Nigel, it could probably be a b-side of the second album.
