Valium Skies Lyrics
How do you keep yourself from folding
Seems like the whole world is, losing.
How do you stop yourself from giving in
Seems like the whole world is, crying...
She got all I need
Yeah, the air I breath,
When it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry
How do you stop your lover from crying
Even though you knew she knew you was lying
How do you stop this world from loathing
Still know nothing with all these cards I'm holding
She got all I need
The air I breath,
And when it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry
She don't mind if I cry
She don't mind if I cry
She got all I need
The air I breath,
And when it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry
And when it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry
And when it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry
Seems like the whole world is, losing.
How do you stop yourself from giving in
Seems like the whole world is, crying...
Yeah, the air I breath,
When it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry
Even though you knew she knew you was lying
How do you stop this world from loathing
Still know nothing with all these cards I'm holding
The air I breath,
And when it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry
She don't mind if I cry
The air I breath,
And when it comes to my valium skies
She don't mind if I cry
She don't mind if I cry
She don't mind if I cry

(and everything above is right after that point :)
Not Ashcrofts best effort, lyrically, but wow, what a song!Highlight of the album??
Your lyrics were off slightly as well, but not as much as mine were. All adjusted now. Thanks!
According to songfacts.com: [In an interview with BBC DJ Steve Lamacq, frontman Richard Ashcroft explained this song: "The term Valium Skies has been in my mind for ten, fifteen years. You get them all over the country but back home, up North, sometimes that grey, grey, grey cloud seems so low you can almost touch it and, but it was also a metaphor for depression and it's about being with someone who recognizes almost where you can go, how dark you can go but still is with you. He's in a band and he knew every time when you're breaking down, you know. 'When it comes to my Valium skies, she don't mind if I cry,' and I think that's a test of any relationship, I think, and really I was trying to get that across, I think. It's one of them songs that you first hear and then after a couple of listens it, the chorus had me for about a month after we recorded that. I was just, I couldn't get it out of my mind and it, yet it doesn't seem like an obvious single song or anything and again good playing by everyone, great guitars and good work."]
I, boboon, 1) love the delivery of "'Still know nothing with all these cards I'm holding." 2) still wonder what exactly a Valium sky is. The music is so buoyant and pretty, but a Valium sky could really be anything...
