The Tide Is High Lyrics

Lyric discussion by violetserene 

Cover art for The Tide Is High lyrics by Billie Piper

I think a band called the Paragons originally made this song, but Blondie made it more famous. AFAIK Billie did her version in 2000, a good two or three years before AK but her version can't have been as well known. I think the meaning's pretty obvious lol, but I also think you'll find that the lyric is 'real tight ditty' (as in song) not 'diddy' (which makes me picture P.Diddy) :P And I think 'hugh' is just a noise like 'yeah'. Can't imagine that Hugh is a name someone would use in a pop song! Does anyone know who does the rap in the song?
