RUNAWAY LYRICS:

Can you dig it
Something in the air tonight
Got a one way ticket
Baby, don't you wanna ride
Got to make it
Make it to the other side
I've got demons
Stabbing at my heels tonight

CHORUS
I just want to runaway
Turn me loose
Got people around running me down I cant stay
WOO
I just want to get away, I just want to get away now.
Get them off my back today

Can u feel it
Im stuck inside in a hurricane
Chasing rainbows
Cant u see im going insane
I wanna be a free man
But im spinning on this crazy wheel
Im jumping for the high bar
Cant u dig it
No longer know what I feel
Cant u see

CHORUS
I just want to runaway
Turn me loose
Got people around running me down I cant stay
I just want to get away, I just want to get away now.
Get them off my back today

I just wanna runaway
Turn me loose, turn me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose

(Interlude)

Got to make it, got to make it
Got to break it, got to make it

CHORUS
I just want to runaway
Just want to runaway
Got people around running me down I cant stay
Can't stay here long now
I just want to get away
I just got to get away
Get them off my back today
WOO

I just want to runaway
La la la la la la
Just want to get away
La la la la la la
Turn me loose, runaway runaway
Got people around running me down I can't stay
Runaway, runaway

I just want to runaway
La la la la la la
Just got to get away
La la la la la la
Turn me loose, runaway
Get them off my back today


(if this is not the final version, feel free to make corrections!)

Samantha and I are sure it's "snapping at my heels tonight", not "stabbing" Very Happy

I'm pretty sure it's "snapping at my heels tonight". But I'm old and played instruments for 20 years... so it's possible my ears are not quite as good as they once used to be. Wink

I watched the Runaway video again and it does look and sound like "SNAPPING AT my heels tonight".

I also watched the Ant & Dec vid again and it sounds like "stepping on my heels tonight"

Let's wait for Mr McK's reply WinkWink

I'm pretty positive that it's "SNAPPING at my heels tonight". If you watch the video and watch Jay's hand gesture as he sings that part, his hand is SNAPPING as a mouth would,which makes sense.

I was certain it's 'snapping at my heels tonight' as well - as you can see him making the snapping movements in the video and it's a well known saying Smile Smile Smile

Anyway here's the new lyrics with 'snapping' included...

RUNAWAY LYRICS:

Can you dig it
Something in the air tonight
Got a one way ticket
Baby, don't you wanna ride
Got to make it
Make it to the other side
I've got demons
Snapping at my heels tonight

CHORUS
I just want to runaway
Turn me loose
Got people around running me down I cant stay
WOO
I just want to get away, I just want to get away now.
Get them off my back today

Can u feel it
Im stuck inside in a hurricane
Chasing rainbows
Cant u see im going insane
I wanna be a free man
But im spinning on this crazy wheel
Im jumping for the high bar
Cant u dig it
No longer know what I feel
Cant u see

CHORUS
I just want to runaway
Turn me loose
Got people around running me down I cant stay
I just want to get away, I just want to get away now.
Get them off my back today

I just wanna runaway
Turn me loose, turn me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose

(Interlude)

Got to make it, got to make it
Got to break it, got to make it

CHORUS
I just want to runaway
Just want to runaway
Got people around running me down I cant stay
Can't stay here long now
I just want to get away
I just got to get away
Get them off my back today
WOO

I just want to runaway
La la la la la la
Just want to get away
La la la la la la
Turn me loose, runaway runaway
Got people around running me down I can't stay
Runaway, runaway

I just want to runaway
La la la la la la
Just got to get away
La la la la la la
Turn me loose, runaway
Get them off my back today


Enjoy Smile Smile Smile

Hi guys,

I have the correct lyrics now, as they show up in the lyrics booklet of the High Times Japan release.
You might remember our discussion if it is "running me down, or cramping or grinding..."

I also posted the lyrics from the background singers some time ago, which Jeroen took off the stage at the Jazz Café, on which it says: cramping me down.

5arrow http://www.jamirotalk.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=80173&highlight=grinding#80173

Anyways, we have now a confirmation (presuming there are no typing mistakes this time!):

Most of the time it is grinding and only at the second refrain it is cramping.

Beside this, the lyrics from samantha are completely accurate as far as I can see! good

I'll make a scan from the booklet, if you want.
