Powderfinger - Pick You Up Lyrics






When you are set to throw in your hand
When you are far from home
When what you believe is buried in your hands
When you feel outgrown

I'll be the one to pick you up again
When you decide you've had enough of it
I'll be the one
I'll be the one

When your speech is slow
When your eyes are closed
When you feel betrayed
When your heart is frayed
When your feet are cold
When your sights are low

I'll be the one to pick you up again
When you decide you've had enough of it
I'll be the one
I'll be the one

    How has this song only got like 59,000 view, such a beautiful song that just sends a chill down my spine every time I hear it 😦

    +Tyson van den Hoek Only god knows why man, it makes no sense.

    T.... v....

    +Tyson van den Hoek Maybe if they titled it properly they'd get more views

  26. P.... S....

    While they were on stage at a festival once, Simon from Ammonia and I knocked off Powderfinger's rider (we were topping up L7's esky, so it was a good deed) all except for two beers. Question is: there are five 'fingers, which two get the remaining beers?

    P.... S....

    ammonia, your not the only one such a great song a shame they didnt last cool story tho u lucky bugger

    P.... S....

    LOL, that's not the only one, I didn't even mention snogging the bass player from L7. Why were we pillaging Powderfinger? Well, as I said, we were hanging with L7, and those ladies can drink! We'd already polished off Ammonia's substantial rider and we were busily emptying the last cans of bourbon from L7's even more substantial rider. None of us were going to pay for any piss that's for sure, Powderfinger were on stage and not in any position to defend their drinks, so...

    Who does get the last two cans left in Powderfinger's esky?

  27. f.... ....

    Is Bernie gay? Is he like the man ith the powderfinger?

    f.... ....

    no he is the finger in ur mum

    f.... ....

    First time i heard this I was driving down Bridson Street, Bassendean, WA to my girlfriends house in 1996, listening to TripleJ. Right from the first chords I was like 'Woo, what is this'. I had to stop the car and just listened to it, just blew me away. Such a vivid memory.

    A.... ....
