Nik Kershaw - Cloud Nine
Earlier I went looking for this song on my own blog here and failed to find it. Well surprised at meself, since it's a cracking ditty. Actually a lovely song that no-one knows about. So... here it is... a song that seems to wistfully celebrate personal isolation.
Lyrics:
High above the push and shove
I float without a sound
Paradise found
I can see a lilac field
A blue and crimson sky
How lucky am I
And sunlight makes it alright
Makes me shine
I watch you watching
Miss you
Doing fine
But even though the view is ours
The pleasure is all mine
Living on cloud nine
High above a crowded street
A little bird of prey
Sings have a nice day
I can hear the falling rain
The crushing ocean wave
And Dagenham Dave
And music makes me lose it
Makes me shine
When he sings
Oh my darling, Clementine
But even though the song is ours
The pleasure is all mine
Living on cloud nine
I own my world
I own my world
And all that's in it
As far as I can see
I own my world
I own my world
And all that's in it
It all belongs to me
I would love to share my love with you
But you don't see this beauty like I do
And even though the world is ours
The pleasure is all mine
Living on cloud
Get off my cloud nine
Get off my cloud nine
Get off my cloud nine
High above the push and shove
I float without a sound
Paradise found
I can see a lilac field
A blue and crimson sky
How lucky am I
And sunlight makes it alright
Makes me shine
I watch you watching
Miss you
Doing fine
But even though the view is ours
The pleasure is all mine
Living on cloud nine
High above a crowded street
A little bird of prey
Sings have a nice day
I can hear the falling rain
The crushing ocean wave
And Dagenham Dave
And music makes me lose it
Makes me shine
When he sings
Oh my darling, Clementine
But even though the song is ours
The pleasure is all mine
Living on cloud nine
I own my world
I own my world
And all that's in it
As far as I can see
I own my world
I own my world
And all that's in it
It all belongs to me
I would love to share my love with you
But you don't see this beauty like I do
And even though the world is ours
The pleasure is all mine
Living on cloud
Get off my cloud nine
Get off my cloud nine
Get off my cloud nine
