[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
Drowning in you.1 Askin’ nothin’, takin’2
Do you believe in passion and romance?3
Destined to be within us and around us?4
Diana, she loves me
No innocence or compromise5
Diana, she loves me
The only way she knows
When the soul’s in flight, you set your body free6
And all of your lighted lessons, in all it’s fantasies7
And as a shiver reverts the tension
From a materialized dementia8
The make believe, our liberty
You offer some love, swifts and chains
Never change you for all the dames9
I stand for you, you open up to me
She said she wanted both of us to go
And she won’t give up for nothing10
Diana, she loves me
No innocence or compromise
Diana, she loves me
The only way she knows
Diana, she loves me
No innocence or compromise
Diana, she loves me
The only way she knows11
“Drowning in you” means that Paolo Nutini is so obsessed with a girl that he can’t think about anything else except her.
Paolo Nutini says that regardless of his beloved’s attitude toward him, he pursues her.
Paolo Nutini asks this rhetorical question to show that he does believe in passion and romance.
Paolo Nutini is a bit of a sentimental romantic.
Paolo Nutini sings that his beloved, Diana, reciprocates his love.
When someone is deep in love, they shouldn’t try to come down from the “high” it provides.
Rationality takes a back seat to feelings when one is in love.
Sometimes love makes us feel like we are going crazy because of how much it can change us.
Paolo Nutini would rather be foolishly captivated by Diana than trade their love for anyone or anything else.
Diana’s love for Paolo Nutini may even be stronger than his love for her. He celebrates this.
This song is about love between two people.
