Lyrics:
You can scream like a banshee
And still nothing comes
You can buy a heart balloon
And watch the sky grow dull
I've said it all before
I am ready for the high
Because nothing works worse
Than the weekend fix
I put the money in the slots
And then they fell to bits
I've said it all before
I am ready for the high
I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fist fight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I want to stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinking moonbeams
I should be pulling you close to me
And not explaining why
I am ready for the high
Maybe Generation X
Are the chosen ones
They've got everything they need
Beneath their aching thumbs
I'll say it all again
I am ready for the high
Because underneath the low
There's a lower part
A place I only like to go
When we come apart
I'll say it all again
I am ready for the high
I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fist fight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I want to stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinking moonbeams
I should be pulling you close to me
And not explaining why
I am ready for the high

After the last two years….I’m ready for the High!!

[@YellowSmiley1]

Those lyrics hit really deep. This will be my new favourite song

[@matteomashurov5738]

So what's he sayin? Gen X is now privileged as opposed to u? Lol this guy sounds like a reformed ANTIFA member.

[@matteomashurov5738]

I actually liked this song until I read the lyrics

[@Delta-ei7im]

@@matteomashurov5738 Thanks for the recommendation! This is now also my favourite song

[@matteomashurov5738]

@microwave. is it about maturing? And wanting to live a better life as opposed to when Ure young and foolish? Like when homer told Milhouses dad that he sleeps in a big bed w his wife as opposed to a race car Kirk enthusiastically sleeps in.

[@simongarfunkel2350]

If you get triggered by a Wombats song it means that you are a bit angry in life... Just relax, keep in mind that there is often irony in Wombats' lyrics and just enjoy the music...

[@PeppyLemonade]

This is my favorite of the new singles so far!

[@filippofrassineti4521]

this song is a bang without a dynamite.....little masterpiece

[@liaml.e.5964]

It's surprising how underappreciated this song is.

[@oricalu448]

I'm really liking the genre experimentation on this album so far. With heavier songs like this and more traditional wombats songs like If You Ever Leave, I'm Coming With You.

[@cooltrades7469]

Actually theres' no experimentation here.This kind of music was known in the 80 s as ''new wave'':)))).Welcome to the past.But at least they follow good models.Better than doing jack shit with no inspiration.

[@oricalu448]

@@cooltrades7469 I was more talking about the range of different genres on the album, many of which are new to the wombats themselves.

[@cameronjsant]

@@oricalu448 It's kind of similar to some of their older stuff, English Summer and IOUs both come to mind as being somewhat similar.

[@SquirrelKilnBTS]

Bomb as always. Time to pester my friends with good music.

[@bn_6062]

I clicked for the art and i loved the song🌼

[@annagurule8195]

i have liked every song from this album so far😩

[@MERCHIODOS]
