Crawling Up a Hill (Live in Berlin) Lyrics by Katie Melua

Secret Symphony (Special Bonus Edition)

2012

Every morning 'bout half past eight
My Moma wakes me says, "Don't be late"
Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill
So I stop one day to figure it out
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt
To sing the blues that I know about
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill
Minute after minute
Second after second
Hour after hour goes by
Working for a rich girl
Staying just a poor girl
Never stop to wonder why
So here I am in London town
A better scene, I'm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill
Every morning 'bout half past eight
My Momma wakes me says, "Don't be late"
I get to the office, tryin' to concentrate
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill
So I stop one day to figure it out
Quit my job without a shadow of a doubt
To sing the blues that I know about
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill
Minute after minute
Second after second
Hour after hour goes by
Working for a rich girl
Staying just a poor girl
Never stop to wonder why
So here I am in London town
A better scene, I'm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down
Life is just a slow train
So here I am in London town
A better scene I'm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill
