Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been bruised and broken
I've been torn in fucking two
I've been working and running
Then I have to run home to you
[PreChorus]
And I'm not living in your life
And you're not living in mine
We've been getting it wrong forever
We'll get it right this time
And live in the high life
[Verse 2]
You're a thief, you're a shit thief
You're always getting caught
I'm a bitch, but I'm your bitch
And I'm all you've fucking got
[PreChorus]
And I'm not living in your life
And you're not living in mine
We all get what we've been given
But we're not gonna give up trying
[Chorus]
To live in the high life
Living in our high life
We're up on the high life
And it's a fine night to feel alive
[Chorus]
Living the high life
Living in our high life
We're up on the high life
And it's a fine night to feel alive
[Verse 3]
This song's a love song
It's not an apology
But sometimes I hate you
Reminding me of me
[Bridge]
Woman, guess we're cut from the same cloth
Fourteen years in the same block
Nine long months in your belly
Down to the Coombe, and I still wasn't ready
Three days late, I arrived at the party
Smile on me face
You're welcome, me hearty
Back to the gaff in the liberties
Christening party, up with the knees
[Bridge]
Girl, we are cut from the same cloth
All you feel, I feel the same loss
I see your eyes in the mirror
Saint, angel, devil, sinner
Still laughing at life with our fists up
Still getting our tea down the chip shop
Still tough, tongues sharp as a flick knife
Still here, still living the high life
[PreChorus]
And I'm not living in your life
And you're not living in mine
And this song's for all you mothers
We're all gonna be just fine
[Chorus]
We're living the high life
Living in our high life
We're up on the high life
And it's a fine night to feel alive
[Chorus]
We're living the high life
Living in our high life
We're up on the high life
And it's a fine night to feel alive
[Outro]
Living the high life
Living the high life, woo!
Living in our high life
We're up on the high life (Max?)
And it's a fine night to feel alive (And it's a fine night to feel alive)
Living the high life (Top o' the world, Ma! Ha, ha, ha, ha)
[Outro]
Living in our high life
We're up on the high life
And it's a fine night to feel alive
Living the high life
Living the high life
We're up on the high life
