Top Of The World By James
From the album "Gold Mother"
Gold Mother is the third studio album from English band James,
originally released June 1990. The album was recorded for Rough
Trade Records, but James asked to be released from their contract
with them and moved to Fontana. After the success of a Flood Mix
of "Come Home" and the non-album singles "Lose Control" and "Sit
Down", the album was re-released almost a year later to include
these tracks, replacing other tracks on the album. It was recently
re-released again, this time with all of the original tracks in
addition to "Lose Control" and "Sit Down".

Intro: C - Bm - G
C Bm G
The view from here's breathtaking. My visions all surrounding

The humans look like insects. There is only one way down
C Bm G
But it's cold and lonely in this stratosphere. Gliding through the darkness
C Bm G
Where is my craft leading to? Am I damned or blessed?

Don't let go on top of the world
C D Bm
Don't let go on top of the world

C Bm G
Will my good friends desert me? Or will they prove them-selves?
C Bm G
Are my demands all greedy? Or are they what I need?
C Bm G
If I will not be faithful, I must accept be-trayal
C Bm G
When your turn comes to leave me, will my free ways have failed?
C D Bm
Don't let go on top of the world
C D Bm
Don't let go on top of the world

I'll meet you in-side, hollow world

I'll meet you in-side, hollow world.

Hollow world. Hollow world. Hollow world.

It's a long way down

It's a long way down

I'm so cold
