Tightrope Lyrics

So you're wishing that you never did
All the embarrassing things you've done
And you're wishing you could set it right
And you're wishing you could stay the night
But then I go again, wishing never solved a problem
If you wanna get it big time, go ahead and get it get it big time

So I think I can solve all my problems by myself
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind
And you think you can solve all your problems by yourself
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind

Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it
Until you just can't give no more
Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it
Until you just can't give no more

Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it
Until you just can't give no more
Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it
Until you just can't give no more

probably the most beautiful song on Dark Was The Night

I agree, this and Brackett, WI are my personal favorites.

This one always makes a mass of nerve endings in the upper back of my head tingle. Feels kind of like my brain is attempting to burst from my skull and start dancing.

What a great song!

Recently heard this one from a radio session, and these should be the proper lyrics. See/listen for yourself here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GziH8s7ksMo

So you're wishing that you never did All the embarrasing things you've done

And you're wishing you could set it right And you're wishing you could stay tonight

But then I go again, wishing never solved the problem If you wanna get it big time, go ahead and get it get it big time

Ah,ah.. Ah,ah..

So you think you can solve all your problems by yourself Nevermind nevermind nevermind nevermiiind

And I think I can solve all my problems by myself Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind

Ah,ah.. Ah,ah..

Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it Until you just can't give no more

Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it Until you just can't give no more

Oh, oh.. Oh, oh..

Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it Until you just can't give no more

Oh, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it Until you just can't give no more

Oh, oh.. Oh, oh..

Definitely my favourite on dark was the night! What a great record all hour cymbals was too.

this is a wonderful song among many others found on the "Dark Was the Night" compilation. the above transcript is descent enough, even though is missing a few lines. the corrections by Henneby however are good and a closer match, even though some lines are not in the right order. anyway, the last lines have a mistake in them too. I believe he sings "I'm gonna give it, give it, give it , give it until you just can't get no more."

ern... sorry I also forgot to add to the latter that he then switches the actions around to "I'm gonna get it, get it, get it get it until you just can't give no more." also, line five ends in "...wishing you could stay the night" (like what unegamine has up there).

I made an account just so I could say... that this song is so beautiful. the lyrics "if you wanna get it big time go ahead and get it get it big time" are so simple yet powerfull and meaningfull to me. i always think of them. this band is heaven
