Jamie Cullum - High And Dry Lyrics






Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you, boy?
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop.
You'd kill yourself for recognition, You'd kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror. You're turning in to something that your not.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk.
All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love.
They're the ones who'll hate you, when you think you've got the world all sussed out.
There the ones who'll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me.....dry

[piano solo]

It's the best thing you have ever had, it's the best thing you have ever had.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

do do do...[x1]
do do do...[x2]
do do do...[x8]

Jamie Cullum High And Dry Comments
  1. H.... ....

    Corrently I'm at Cafe Nero drinking latte and listening to this song life seem perfect 👌

  2. E.... H....

    Anyone else brought here by Jimmy balitoi's amazing cover on the voice? So glad I've found such beautiful music :)

  3. W.... R....

    I'd be honored if some Jamie Cullum fans would take quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of HIGH & DRY on my YT channel, which was inspired by Jamie's interpretation of the song. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.

  4. V.... ....

    Amazing cover, especially piano at 2:46

  5. A.... s....

    can't stand the 'weird timing' brrrr..

  6. M.... H....

    There’s nothing like Radiohead in this world but this version is a better interpretation of the song for me than the original one. Sorry my fellow Radioheads.

    M.... H....

    Facts are facts!

    M.... H....

    Mansoor Hussain hi would love to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons live cover of this. Hoping to find him a few more subscribers 😜 https://youtu.be/L2ojL-8cahQ

    M.... H....

    Brenda Hawkins the sound unfortunately is not of the greatest quality but your Grandson is really talented. He’s real good.

    M.... H....

    Mansoor Hussain thank you so much. Afraid I just used my phone to record this. It was at a Xmas lights turn on so quite a bit of background noise too. I’m glad you liked Josh though 😊

  7. A.... F....

    For some reason i always picture me meeting my soulmate in a bar while this song plays in the background lol

  8. H.... M....

    All these years, I never knew this was a cover...OopS! Dude owns this!!

  9. L.... B....

    For some reason i find this better than the original
    I will be ok with it ,If you told me that this is the last song I will hear in my life

    L.... B....

    Lon Bernstein hi would love to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons live cover of this. Hoping to find him a few more subscribers 😜 https://youtu.be/L2ojL-8cahQ

  10. B.... I....

    este es el original o la que canta Radiohead?🤔

  11. M.... B....

    He is so good ahhh and I was lucky enough to see him perform at my school and he is so so talented

  12. W.... R....

    I'd be honored if some Jamie Cullum fans would take quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of HIGH & DRY on my YT channel, which was inspired by Jamie's interpretation of the song. Live acoustic with no digital enhancements. Thanks and peace.

  13. F.... L....

    Estas versiones son las que inspiran a seguir estudiando piano

  14. W.... R....

    I'd be honored if some Jamie Cullum fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN by Bruno Mars and SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire on my channel. Live acoustic with no tech enhancements. Thanks and keep on grooving.

  15. u.... ....

    He has a beautiful voice x

  16. A.... W....

    I love both versions....its just a primo song

  17. J.... W....

    saw him years ago in Brighton supported by a young Amy Winehouse!

  18. W.... T....

    I cant believe this ONLY has 3,244,424 views

  19. K.... T....

    It's the best thing you had ever had! ❤️

  20. R.... ....

    Best cover EVER!

  21. m.... g....

    Guess it doesn't matter, not like it's a valid criticism but jUst one person's opinion. I prefer the Radiohead version, because there's a tension and a sadness in it; this version to me seems very satisfied with itself, and I feel like the song is not about being satisfied. Just <-- .02.

  22. E.... D....

    Maravilhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

  23. p.... ....

    never leave u dry ace

  24. B.... L....

    simply the best!!

  25. J.... M....

    I love both version <3

  26. D.... J....

    Dooo do dooo do da dooo!!!! Classic

  27. s.... ....

    I wish I had the world all sussed out.

  28. E.... G....

    Jamie is a true performer and he was born to play music and inspire. He doesn't compete or try to be better than anyone else because he knows very well who he is as an artist. This cover is fantastic and it's even better performed live!!

    E.... G....

    I'd be honored if some Jamie Cullum fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal version of HIGH & DRY on my channel, which was inspired by Jamie's interpretation of the song. Live acoustic with no digital enhancements. Thanks and peace.

  29. D.... M....

    I like it? No, I love it!

  30. A.... A....

    I will be ok with it ,If you told me that this is the last song I will hear in my life

  31. L.... B....

    i sing this when im putting my washing out.......xx

  32. A.... T....

    The background looks .. disturbing..

  33. T.... G....

    I think the best version of this song is actually when he does this live! It brought tears to my eyes and most songs don't do that to me!

  34. b.... l....

    For some reason i find this better than the original

    b.... l....

    +dingdong dongle Agreed, actually I find many of his covers better than the original, e.g. Everlasting love, Don't stop the music and many others.

    b.... l....

    +MarcusHK1 Yeah, first of all I totally agree this is much better than the original, but didn't realize until your comment that he did so many other covers as well - I'm on it! Thanks!

    b.... l....

    sorry I don't agree, but the cover is still great though

    b.... l....

    @aink you know what, you're right, now I think the original is better but I still like Jamie McCullum's cover

    b.... l....

    Because the original is pop shit from a non pop band,

  35. A.... L....

    alucinante este hombre

  36. P.... B....

    jamie is a jazz musician and he knows his shit. that's all there is to it. We all make mistakes and bad choices of material. that's all there is to that!
    Xxx

    P.... B....

    and we all have opinions

  37. j.... i....

    been looking for this guys music for a very long time.... brings me back to memory lane.... thanks...

  38. S.... E....

    Best version of the best song.

  39. E.... O....

    Siempre soy exigente con los covers que oigo y más si es de radiohead, pero Jamie Cullum es un maestro.

  40. G.... S....

    My love for this song is unexplainable

    G.... S....

    My love for you is unexplainable

  41. T.... M....

    saw him in concert a few months back and he was great!

    T.... M....

    +Tom MacLachlan I want to see him in concert so bad

  42. S.... M....

    this is better than on the CD, this is definitely an other record, wow! 

  43. w.... r....

    BUENASO

  44. A.... ....

    No cover will ever be better or as good as the original one but I got to admit that this one's pretty darn close to "perfection".

    A.... ....

    I find Elton John's cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds better than Beatles' original. Also his Who version of Pinball Wizard is way far better.

    A.... ....

    Jj Coz i agree with you, Elton John owns the definitive version of Lucy in the Sky, i can't agree about Pinball Wizard though... I'd be honored if some Jamie Cullum fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover of HIGH & DRY on my channel, which was inspired by Jamie's interpretation of the song. Live acoustic with no digital enhancements. Thanks and peace.

  45. j.... h....

    This really is better than the original arrangement. Great job Jamie.

  46. m.... ....

    This cover is super cool.

  47. C.... D....

    QUI FAIT MIEUX ?SEUL JAIMIE LE DIEU DU JAZZ ALTERNATIF ET MODERNE

  48. K.... ....

  50. i.... m....

    Nice! very nice !. But there is No,Best perform hgh n dry except Thom Yorke. he can bring all of mind in something beautiful.........

  51. D.... ....

    lovely

  52. B.... R....

    the only radiohead cover what is better than original... <3 i love that

  53. T.... H....

    I reckon this could song could be used to treat a soar throat its so soothing

  54. F.... M....

    this isnt the special edition one :( its live at the southbank show, its better, WHERE THE FUCK IS IT :@

  55. �.... ....

    Beautiful voice and groove style. But i think original version is much better

  56. f.... ....

    didn't realize this was a radiohead original.. really nice jamie cullum i salute you.. haha

  57. P.... T....

    I am a huge Radiohead fan and are very sceptical of anything resembling a cover of one of their songs. This one works, cause Jamie makes it his.

  58. f.... d....

    es super bueno incluso,lo encuentro mejor que otros que hay por ahi...........

  59. M.... M....

    Jamie is an awesome performer and composer - got to see him live. Listen to his BBC show!

  60. P.... A....

    Better than the original version. Just awesome

  61. J.... B....

    This used to be on SMart! I can't tell you how long I've been looking for this piece of music! Thanks a bunch.

  62. Z.... ....

    heard it a long time ago, and I found it again. :)

  63. Z.... ....

    looove this version

  64. d.... ....

    Can't understand why people give him crap for being a "housewives" favourite or faux jazz. Seems alright to me. Definitely seems competent with the piano and singing...much better than me, that's for sure.

  65. M.... ....

    Define sense in music

  66. N.... N....

    likeeeeee

  67. M.... B....

    i love radiohead but honestly this is one of the best radiohead cover so far

  68. B.... ....

    I like this better than the original. * rolls away into the sunset before anyone kills me*

  69. T.... S....

    I have a confession: I prefer this version than the original one. My Sincere apology to all Radiohead fans!

    Peace

  70. l.... ....

    i might be a complete stranger but that story has just givin me the insperation for my next piece of music. thank you. btw im glad to hear you got through it all =)

  76. m.... ....

    Great Piano, but I like the original way better.
    It just makes more sense

  77. d.... ....

    @Ape848 are you kidding? he's ripped the soul out of it and regurgitated a weak pop version

  78. J.... M....

    i like jamie cullum but this music is supposed to be sad , specially with these lyrics. original forever

  79. L.... J....

    It Has a repeat button

  80. D.... B....

    Well said!

  81. w.... ....

    not to forget this guy can't even sing the notes properly, no vibrato either. fucking sucks

  82. w.... ....

    too fast of a temp and lacks the melancholy and sadness of the original. lame

  83. J.... R....

    muy bueno!!!

  84. A.... ....

    youtube really need s a repeat button

  85. �.... ....

    Yeah..original forever.go radiohead!

  86. T.... L....

  87. R.... ....

    pues a mi me gusta más que la original.

  88. s.... ....

    Murder!

  89. d.... ....

    TBH, i think the original is better. not because jamie didnt perform it well enough but because its hard to perform radioheads music as good as radiohead

  90. j.... l....

    its a waste of time listening to this cover or revival --------thom yorke should stab this dude in the back

  91. S.... ....

    I love his pianosolos!

  96. L.... P....

  97. V.... L....

    remembers...

  98. a.... ....

    @MademoiselleJules Personally, I prefer the original but I'm not a jazz fan anyway. Still, gotta respect him for playing "something different to your typical pop", actually having talent and- of course- being a Radiohead fan.
