Sound of Music [The Peel Sessions (1987)] Lyrics

[Verse 1]
See my true reflection cut off my own connections
I can see life getting harder
So sad is this sensation, reverse the situation
I can't see it getting better

[Verse 2]
I'll walk you through the heartbreak, show you all the outtakes
I can't see it getting higher
Systematically degraded, emotionally a scapegoat
I can't see it getting better

[Verse 3]
Perverse and unrealistic, try to make it all stick
I can't see it getting better
Hollow now, I'm burned out, all I need to break out
I can't see life getting higher

[Outro]
Love, life, makes you feel higher
Love and life, makes you feel higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Love of life, makes you feel higher

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
