about

A love song involving a non-metaphorical kite. A few years ago my girlfriend made a kite and we tried to fly it on Plymouth Hoe. I filmed it on my, then very modern, phone. And then I wrote this song. This is a new recording of this previously released track as I am working towards a new album. Don't get too excited. Thanks.

lyrics

I’m high as a kite cos I’m with you
Oh I’m high as a kite cos I’m with you
And sometimes we’re up, sometimes we’re down
sometimes we’re flying and sometimes we’re crying
We get up again and we keep trying cos I’m high as a kite cos I’m with you...

Take you up on a grassy hill by the sea, is the kite a metaphor for you and me
No it’s not cos we’re still together, the kite didn’t fly, but I blame the weather
One minute there’s sun, then the rain and the wind comes, a day by the British coast can give you four seasons

The kite won’t fly cos the wind is too gusty
But at least that blows away anything that is fusty
If the kite is blown and the lines get tangled
Above the clouds the stars are still spangled

I’m high as a kite cos I’m with you
Oh I’m high as a kite cos I’m with you
And sometimes we’re up, sometimes we’re down
sometimes we’re flying and sometimes we’re crying
We get up again and we keep trying cos I’m high as a kite cos I’m with you...

I’m high as a kite cos I’m with you
Oh I’m high as a kite cos I’m with you
And sometimes we’re up, sometimes we’re down
sometimes we’re flying and sometimes we’re crying
We get up again and we keep trying, cos I’m high as a kite cos I’m with you...

and I’m not on drugs.

Matt Tiller UK

Hello. I am a comic songwriter described as ‘Hilarious’ by New Statesman and ’Sharp and astutely observed’ by British Comedy Guide. I write and performs personal, observational and political songs. My controversial tune, We’re In This Together, garnered some great reviews; Indie Band Guru wrote, ‘Looking away from the astounding melody and tune, the lyrics themselves are hysterical.’ ... more
