Back on Board Lyrics by Aztec Camera

High Land, Hard Rain

1983

[Verse 1]
Heard it said it's a stupid thing
Everything that I follow through
Never got to our God, you see
Abandoned with the taste of the new, new, new

[Pre-Chorus]
And every time that whistle blows
I'm stranded in my shoes

[Chorus]
Get me back on board
Pull me up with grace
Get me back on board
Let me be embraced
'Cause even after all those words
I want you for my own
Touch me when the sun comes up
And tell me that we're home

[Verse 2]
We'll take a train to the graves again
We can learn the value of life
Kick the snow with our shoe-heels
Shivers give a smile in the night

[Verse 3]
Hey, honest to goodness girl
I'd kiss you with the lips of the Lord
But to be honest to goodness
I feel I have to wait for the word, word, words

[Pre-Chorus]
And every time that whistle blows
I'm stranded in my shoes

[Chorus]
Get me back on board
Pull me up with grace
Get me back on board
Let me be embraced
'Cause I'm always, always trying to be
The archetypal free
The strangest something went to sleep
I buckled at the knees

[Post-Chorus]
So here we go, digging through those dustbins
Giving things new names

[Chorus]
Get me back on board
Pull me up with grace
Get me back on board
Let me be embraced
Get me back on board
Pull me up with grace
Get me back on board
Here's my ticket, where's the [?]

[Outro]
Get me back on board
Pull me up with grace
Get me back on board
Let me be embraced (Back on board)
Get me back on board (Get me back on board)
Pull me up with grace
Get me back on board (Get me back, get me back)
Let me be embraced (Get me back on board)
