Charlatans, The - How High Lyrics






How high
Oh! I can kiss the sun
Run a minute mile
While you hitch hike
Love shines a light
I'll be a winners cup
And I'm lookin' for the one who cut you up
You're not having me
You know the skies are mean
And I'm hopin' for a way to free you

Love I'm fixing holes
The ones you break up
Come in from your drive
And the hand that rocks you
Cuts you up like
Lyrics of your life

I can't buy
What I've done before
I want to open up another door
I'm going to let you pass
I'm on another path
I want to be the king
While you zig zag
On a holy road
Like Caine from Kung Fu
How high oh! I can kiss the sun

Hang on to your hopes my darlin'
Don't let it slip away
And the hand that holds you
Keeps you warm
And helps you live today

Love shines a light
And it takes and it hurts
I know I'm right
I can bend till I burst
And love shines a light
And repays you with us
Yeah too right
I'm gonna pledge my time till the day I die

How high
Oh! I can kiss the sun
Run a minute mile while you hitch hike
Love shines a light
I'll be a lovin' cup
I'll be down when you're down
I'll be up when you're up
You're not havin'
I know the skies are mean
And I'll be looking for a way to free you love

I'm fixing holes
The ones you break up
Comin' from your drive
And the hand that rocks you
Cuts you up like
Lyrics of your life

Love shines a light
And it takes and it hurts
I know I'm right
I can bend till I burst
And love shines a light
And repays you with us
Yeah too right
I'm gonna pledge my time till the day I die

Charlatans, The How High Comments
  1. L.... G....

    Oasis mixing Stone(d) Roses. So great

  2. m.... m....

    Nice....:)

  3. C.... M....

    THE CHARLATANS , SUPERGRASS, OASIS,BLUR ETC ETC ETC ALL ARE THE SAME GUY!

  4. P.... L....

    It's hard to acknowledge how young 2 of their band mates died. Fortunately, remaining members are still going strong for all these years.

  5. C.... M....

    like cherry blossom oh so kind!!!!

  6. r.... h....

    Glastonbury showed me how much i miss the charlatans

  7. E.... H....

    My favourite Charlatans song by a mile. Timeless

  8. A.... ....

    Me and my mates were knocking about in the woods in the mid 90's too. Only difference is we were doing bongs and drinking White Lightning. Good times and great music.

  9. B.... ....

    Dirtchamber Sessions ... brilliant sampling of this!

  10. c.... s....

    the nineties were full of talented bands,the charletins being up there with the best when music was banging!
    its all gone to shite since though, as has just about everything in the media.thanks reality tv and x factor amongst other crap.

  11. D.... M....

    The worst band ever ...

  12. J.... N....

    Oasis = pop music Charlatans = Indie music

  13. H.... ....

    sounds like Ian Brown doing an impression of Liam Gallagher, love the Charlatans

    H.... ....

    Charlatans came before Oasis.

  14. t.... ....

    80,s indie/alternitive then 90,s baggy scene combining indie rap rock with groovy beats acid house = madchester , great fashion scene , swaggerin scallygers everywhere !was best ever, everyone wanted to be a manc, it doesnt matter who copied who or whether they can sing or not still they are some of the best bands frontmen ! Smiths and stone roses to name but 2!

  63. p.... c....

    punk rock 90's style.

  64. A.... M....

    Good old times when listening to this with a pocket full of pills or seeing them at T in The Park in the early 2000s, what's wrong with kids today?

    A.... M....

    Arran Mathieson fuck off hibee

    A.... M....

    V-98 come on ..

    A.... M....

    Still happens all the time mate

    A.... M....

    The old man is clearly pissed and jealous that he didn’t grow up with technology and doesn’t adapt to change in music so he complains about “kids these days”

  65. V.... ....

    Best band ever . Plus I miss the days when lads dressed like this .

    V.... ....

    VikkiMinaj1 can stay I still do cos I wasn’t born when this was filmed by me and me mates dress like this

    V.... ....

    VikkiMinaj1 best band ever?
    Someone clearly needs to hear the black keys.

    V.... ....

    90s clothes are back in fashion now

    V.... ....

    If you want to see lads dressed like this you should take up hiking! Which they appear to be doing in this video. Sensibly dressed lads, although the footwear might not be optimal

    V.... ....

    I know mate. Makes me 😣 but I guess we have the happy memories 😆😎😎😎

  66. s.... c....

    Great band they are undoubtably the coolist dressers of era

  67. C.... B....

    the clothes they wear in this video are cool as fuck. loved the 90's

  68. M.... W....

    tune. fact.

  69. W.... C....

    shite lyrics ripped off what's the frequency riff bum boys

    W.... C....

    Fuck up you mug.

  70. t.... 9....

    Cocanus in effect!

  71. G.... U....

    great fucking time for music, love this song wish bands would come up with songs like this now but
    sadly they simply cannot, x fucktor and computers have put paid to that, sad times......

    G.... U....

    Simply the best times. Utter shite now. Makes me sad

    G.... U....

    yep fucking genius :)

  72. c.... H....

    Is rob collins in this video?

  73. R.... R....

    no limits

  74. a.... ....

    Britpop survivors!!!!  Doesn't really do them justice FUCKING ROCK

  75. G.... A....

    Hardly any words. So great !!!

  76. L.... S....

    they were about before the stone roses

    L.... S....

    They weren't, roses started in 82, charlatans have been about since 94.

    L.... S....

    The charlatans started around 94? Don't think so, they were there at the height of madchester in 1990

    L.... S....

    +Arran Mathieson Stone Roses formed 1983 and Charlatans formed 1989.. Google if nobody believe me

  77. J.... N....

    Decent!

  78. S.... ....

    Any 1 else think Liam gallagher ripped this guys voice off.

    S.... ....

    John T , so wrong ,, tim Burgess was on the road to rock n roll 10 yrs before the Gallagher boys showed up knocking on the lime light door... even the only one I know was released in 1990 and oasis didn’t hit the stage till 1991... charlatans where well established by this time ... peace and love..

    S.... ....

    taskmastaz so did he s sound like this before oasis ? No

    S.... ....

    I remember reading in a magazine many many MANY years ago that Liam (I think that's what his name is) fellow was bad mouthing that nasty voiced singers style of singing. So Tim Burgess was shite and then Liam Gallagher became shiter.

    S.... ....

    @John T or he did and oasis was setting up Inspiral Carpets gear as they were there roadies oasis came well after all the grate 80s and early 90s band like roses and charlatans inspiral carpets ek

    S.... ....

    @jessica taekwondo tim burgess did not sound like this until after liam gallagher did ...he clearly went for a specific vocal that was popular in the mid 90s ...the only one i know had a more ian brown feel as was popular in 1990 when it came out

  79. G.... M....

    Class will always be class!

  80. m.... u....

    Still sound so fresh in my ears.

  81. H.... G....

    reminds me so much of stone roses

    H.... G....

    +george guy
    no they were not.....
    Sally Cinammon came out before these guys had even formed...

    H.... G....

    these ripped the roses off carnt u tell?

    H.... G....

    +W CW either way they are better than the roses in my opinion

    H.... G....

    +Broden Hardcastle get the fuck out of here fuckin Tim an Ian Brown clone this song is shite they have ripped off what's the frequency riff lol

    H.... G....

    Broden Hardcastle I love the charlatans and all but they've got nothing on the roses 🍋🍋🍋

  82. P.... L....

    18 years ago today - amazing

  83. J.... L....

    This is fuckin' great! Roses meets Oasis

    J.... L....

    Johnny Logan these were before oasis

    J.... L....

    Peace Fan this song came out 1997 mate

    J.... L....

    coner Macolum No it came out in '96 and it wasn't there first single. Their first single came out in 1990 'mate'

    J.... L....

    Shut up 'mate'

    J.... L....

    Ian Brown's charisma indeed

  84. V.... E....
