Heavy As

Clean Cut Kid(클린 컷 키드)

Mike Halls on Heavy As:

 

“Me and my dad are standing on my balcony overlooking Liverpool after a night out together. He takes a drag on his cigarette and says: ‘Imagine you make this tiny baby who’s so premature he fights to stay alive for weeks. Then one day you buy that kid a guitar, and watch him get better and better. Then you go to his graduation, see him marry the love of his life, sign a record deal and play a sold out Royal Albert Hall. And now you’re standing in a flat he bought from writing songs...sounds heavy doesn’t it?’ he says, taking another drag, ‘...it’s not!’. That night after he fell asleep I wrote this song.”

 

 

 

lyrics

 

 

You said, what can I tell you about life mate

I can tell you it’s too short

But water the plants and they might grow straight

And we all die when the winter comes




You don’t l know that wisdom comes too late

And nothing grows from hate

You know that love is the only way




And I love you with my whole heart

And heavy as that sounds it’s not

I love you with my whole heart

And heavy as that sounds it’s not




You said what will you do when we’re long gone son.

Well you’ll start this thing again

One day you’ll say this to your own son

God spares you and Evelyn

And don’t you ever lie in bed too late

Don’t make the morning wait

Don’t let this love ever go to waste




And I love you with my whole heart

And heavy as that sounds it’s not (ooohhhh)

I love you with my whole heart

And heavy as that sounds it’s not
