The Songs
Real Title: Climbing Up A Bloody Great Hill
Known Title: I’m Coming Up
What I Call It: Climbing Up A Bloody Great Hill
My Thoughts: This song is about the climb to become famous. Lyrically these demos sometimes seem to be out of place, Thom already misunderstood? Many Pablo Honey b-sides deal with the struggle of fame too though.
Recorded at Clifton Hampden Village Hall, drums - Nigel Powell
Lyrics:
Shoot him down
now
He's got a little something
He'll Start heading for the wall
Dreaming about something
Means nothing at all
We'll put him on the tv
And make him lots of videos
You can smile for the girlies
You'll be on breakfast shows
Come on boys
Alright boys, yeah
Hey, whoa
I’m Climbing Up A Bloody Great Hill
Hey, whoa ho
I’m Climbing Up
I’m Climbing Up, up, up, up
Everything is grooving
But everything ain’t good
Why am I so misunderstood?
"He's got a little something"
Say Mr. radio man
"Yes he's got a little something"
Say Mr. Producer Man
They wanna buy him up
For the screaming girls
Who haven't got a clue
What it means to be living
In a horrible evil little world
Come on boys, yeah
Hey, whoa
I’m Climbing Up A Bloody Great Hill
Hey, whoa ho
I’m Climbing Up
I’m Climbing Up, up, up, up
Everything is grooving
But everything ain’t good
Why am I so misunderstood?
Why am I so misunderstood, boys and girls?
Hey, whoa
I’m Climbing Up A Bloody Great Hill
Hey, whoa ho
I’m Climbing Up
I’m Climbing Up
Up! Up!
Everything is grooving
But everything ain’t good
why am I so misunder
But everything ain’t good

Hey mister, producer man
Give me a break man

Hey mister, producer man
I want to be famous so badly
So badly, so uh uh uh
