Besides being famous as the lead guitarist, backing vocalist and occasional lead vocalist of the rock band Blur, Graham Coxon is a critically acclaimed solo artist.
Crow Sit on Blood Tree was his third solo album, released in 2001. It is perhaps the darkest and quietest of Coxon's albums (seven in total).
Lyrics:
Once there was a nothing
The voices rang so true
The knowledge that was lacking
Cut innocence in two
Everything seemed too good to be right
When I was 16
I was too uptight
Now disappointment's shadow
Reveals a colder time
A harder kind of living
In disillusion
How can it go
The fear of the night
Now I am grown
I'm just too uptight
A slow and noble breakdown of personality
Careless, heartless, soulless,
No dignity
My days are flown
And I can't recall
Feeling so alone
Was I so uptight
Death creeps ever closer
A darkness falls in me
A scared fragmented loner
Unholy
A night with no end
An echoing sea
I'll think about me
How I'm too uptight
