50yo here remembering how this song was a big part of my soundtrack 25 years ago. They were(are) so good for so long, but this was peak Charlatans for me. A brilliant song I will enjoy for the rest of my life.

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

This album was more rock'n'roll than there previous and was more commercially accessible. This album made them even more popular. They were the best. I remember watching them in the early 90s on the independent chart show. Was a great times more music.

[@chingochango5918]

Nah the album before this (The self titled lp) was much more straight rocknroll than this lp

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

@ChingoChango I'll have listen again, I take your word. Great band 👌

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

@ChingoChango I stand corrected, i forgot how great that album was, feeling holy tooth ache and crashin' in, just when you're thinking things over has a big rolling stones vibe. Yeah a heavy rock'n'roll album for sure. Between 10th&11th is my best charlatans record. Amazing work they produced from 90 /97 haven't really listened to there last 3 albums. I'm sure I'm missing out though?

[@nickwalsalltown75]

Better than ‘The only one …’ don’t care if I’m on my own. A great 90s indie smash.

Best band ever . Plus I miss the days when lads dressed like this . EDIT!! I’m from ,Manchester. Live in Manchester. Know the score about people who do dress like this ... my point tho , it’s not the same as the late 90s when this was how everybody dressed..... in other words , there were no muscles and sleeve tats , just parkas and shirts and jeans .

How high Oh! I can kiss the sun Run a minute mile While you hitch hike Love shines a light I'll be a winners cup And I'm lookin' for the one who cut you up You're not having me You know the skies are mean And I'm hopin' for a way to free you Love I'm fixing holes The ones you break up Come in from your drive And the hand that rocks you Cuts you up like Lyrics of your life I can't buy What I've done before I want to open up another door I'm going to let you pass I'm on another path I want to be the king While you zig zag On a holy road Like Caine from Kung Fu How high oh! I can kiss the sun Hang on to your hopes my darlin' Don't let it slip away And the hand that holds you Keeps you warm And helps you live today Love shines a light And it takes and it hurts I know I'm right I can bend till I burst And love shines a light And repays you with us Yeah too right I'm gonna pledge my time till the day I die How high Oh! I can kiss the sun Run a minute mile while you hitch hike Love shines a light I'll be a lovin' cup I'll be down when you're down I'll be up when you're up You're not havin' I know the skies are mean And I'll be looking for a way to free you love I'm fixing holes The ones you break up Comin' from your drive And the hand that rocks you Cuts you up like Lyrics of your life Love shines a light And it takes and it hurts I know I'm right I can bend till I burst And love shines a light And repays you with us Yeah too right I'm gonna pledge my time till the day I die
