Lyrics Edwyn Collins – Running Away With Myself
Text:
I’m going back to my school
I’m going back to my old school
‘Cause to tell you the truth
Move this old fool
I’m going back to my suit
I’m going back to my old suit
Though I’m somewhat dismayed
‘Cause the cuffs they are frayed
Still it’s my best suit
And I woke with a start
And remembered in part
A dream that I’d chased
That I’ve since laid to waste
Has the love that I’d craved
Somehow got mislaid along the way?
I’m going back to my old suit
Though I’m somewhat dismayed
‘Cause the cuffs they are frayed
Still it’s my best suit
And I woke with a start
And remembered in part
A dream that I’d chased
That I’ve since laid to waste
Has the love that I’d craved
Somehow got mislaid along the way?
Am I still okay?
I’m running away with myself
Am I still okay?
I’m running away with myself
I’m going back to my youth
I’m going back to my wild youth
Though our trousers were wide
We had soul, we had side
Ain’t I the living proof?
I’m going back to my roots
I’m going back to my grass roots
‘Cause it’s time to re-group
Before spring-heeled we’ll shoot on the good foot
And I woke with a start
And remembered in part
A dream that I had back when I was a lad
And the key that I lost
To my memory box that got locked away
And the key that I lost
To my memory box that got locked away
Am I still okay?
I’m running away with myself
Am I still okay?
I’m running away with myself
