Barclay James Harvest - Suicide? Lyrics
I woke up to a feeling, it was cold by my side
You had gone with the sunrise, leaving tears in my eyes
I got up with a feeling of an emptiness inside
To the noise of the sidewalk and the silence of my mind
To a club called "The Loser", like a dog that's gone lame
Took the club elevator to the floor with a view
I took out life subscription - it's the only one they do
I stepped out on the guard rail, saw the crowds slowly part
Heard a voice shouting "Don't jump, please for God's sake let me move my car!"
Felt a hand on my shoulder, heard a voice cry "Just in time!"
Felt the quick push, felt the air rush
Felt the sidewalk, fell in line

Barclay James Harvest Suicide? Comments
Stunning song!
Nothing takes the brave off the immutable path.
RIP Connor Steve Dave and Scott suicide has claimed to many friends
RIP Woolly. 😪
My dad used to play this song alot when i was younger , it just reminds me of him. It used to scare the life out of me , such a haunting melody and ofcourse the meaning behind the song at even such a young age stuck with me
My all time favourite track by this superb band. I’ve loved them for forty years. Was lucky enough to see John Lees Barclay James Harvest a couple of years ago, they did this one, I had tears streaming down my face, epic!!
best BJH song??!!!
Definitely top 3 for me. Usually list it at #1, so I guess yes? LOL
Apparently the walk and jump from 05:30 was recorded with an actual mic - the technology of 1976! Great album throughout.
Was in the record shop today, this album came in. The owner asked if I had ever heard this song, said I never listened to Barclay James Harvest before and he played this song. I was floored.
He puts the album in the rack and ten minutes later I say, "going to needle drop the rest of the album". It was at that moment I said, "holy $hit, how did this group fly pass my radar?". Needless to say I purchased this (and after needle dropping the album Time Honoured Ghosts and a British import of their best of of early stuff) I purchased the lot.
Damn, how come I have not heard any of their music earlier in my 48 years of existence.
I think Octoberon is their best album
time honoured ghosts is in my top 10 bro at least you discovered it
@chris. p bacon I say to people all the time, "you don't wait for good music. Good music waits for you."
Since I posted this comment I have added two other albums to my collection.
I woke up to a feeling, it was cold by my side
You had gone with the sunrise, leaving tears in my eyes
I got up with a feeling of an emptiness inside
To the noise of the sidewalk and the silence of my mind
Well i walked out this morning, down a street with no name
To a club called "the loser", like a dog that's gone lame
Took the club elevator to the floor with a view
I took out life subscription, it's the only one they do
I stepped out on the guard rail, saw the crowds slowly part
Heard a voice shouting "don't jump, please for god's sake let me move my car!"
Felt a hand on my shoulder, heard a voice cry "just in time!"
Felt the quick push, felt the air rush
Felt the sidewalk, fell in line
UTTER PERFECTION, YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IT TO REALLY KNOW IT!!!
E quale il cicognino che leva l’ala per voglia di volare
E non s’attenta d’abbandonar lo nido
E giù la cala!
(And what the witch that pulls the wing for want of flying
And do not be careful to abandon the nest
And down the dam!)
bjh forever......
a sad but very beautiful song. first listened to this 30 odd years ago and it's always resonated
"Just in time" at the end. Did he jump or was he there to meet the person who would push him?
he met his partner to jump with follie-au-doux {my french is bad}
push its in the lyrics
i Don't know and i didn't understand the two answers
went to see this band at the Liverpool Empire about 1978 , first ever concert superb concert sounded as good live as they did on vinyl.
saw them at manchester apollo same year , brilliant live band
I woke up to a feeling, it was cold by my side
You had gone with the sunrise, leaving tears in my eyes
I got up with a feeling of an emptiness inside
To the noise of the sidewalk and the silence of my mind
Well I walked out this morning, down a street with no name
To a club called "The Loser", like a dog that's gone lame
Took the club elevator to the floor with a view
I took out life subscription - it's the only one they do
I stepped out on the guard rail, saw the crowds slowly part
Heard a voice shouting "Don't jump, please for God's sake let me move my car!"
Felt a hand on my shoulder, heard a voice cry "Just in time!"
Felt the quick push, felt the air rush
Felt the sidewalk, fell in line
Has there ever been more poignant lyrics written?
Thank God you posted these lyrics. Just saw a "lyric" video where if 25% of the lyrics are right I am amazed.
simply brilliant
In memory of Woolly Wolstenholme who is no longer with us.
