We look at the summer sun yellow and round,
So we go out to the hll and we lie down,
All but one sits in the corner,
Trying to find a way,
And alright lets go outside,
and rise, rise, rise, to the meaning of life,
I'm trying but we're all falling out,
I want to go back to old times,
Looking back looking out at different things,
We flew to high let the sun burn our wings,
We never thought it would be us,
But it all comes back turned to dust,
And alright lets go outside,
and rise, rise, rise, to the meaning of life,
I'm trying but we're all falling out,
I want to go back to old times,
And alright lets go outside,
and rise, rise, rise, to the meaning of life,
I'm trying but we're all falling out,
I want to go back to old times,
Say what I know,
You keep it low,
... (inaudible)...
Why do you need it,
Say what I know,
You keep it low,
... (inaudible)...
Keep it a secret,
Say what I know,
I keep it low,
... (inaudible)...
Why do you need it,
Say what I know,
I keep it low,
... (inaudible)...
Keep it a secret,
And alright lets go outside,
and rise, rise, rise, to the meaning of life,
I'm trying but we're all falling out,
I want to go back to old times,
So we go out to the hll and we lie down,
All but one sits in the corner,
Trying to find a way,
And alright lets go outside,
and rise, rise, rise, to the meaning of life,
I'm trying but we're all falling out,
I want to go back to old times,
Looking back looking out at different things,
We flew to high let the sun burn our wings,
We never thought it would be us,
But it all comes back turned to dust,
And alright lets go outside,
and rise, rise, rise, to the meaning of life,
I'm trying but we're all falling out,
I want to go back to old times,
And alright lets go outside,
and rise, rise, rise, to the meaning of life,
I'm trying but we're all falling out,
I want to go back to old times,
Say what I know,
You keep it low,
... (inaudible)...
Why do you need it,
Say what I know,
You keep it low,
... (inaudible)...
Keep it a secret,
Say what I know,
I keep it low,
... (inaudible)...
Why do you need it,
Say what I know,
I keep it low,
... (inaudible)...
Keep it a secret,
And alright lets go outside,
and rise, rise, rise, to the meaning of life,
I'm trying but we're all falling out,
I want to go back to old times,

I love the allusion to the myth of Icarus and Daedalus. If you don't know the story, wiki it.
you keep it low
if i give you my word, would you keep it?
say what i know
you keep it low
you're shit at keeping secrets
Quite mourning and a little sad although you dont get that feeling
The repetition may signify the regret
'I'm trying but we're all falling out,' may signify old friends growing up and friendships failing
All the same, it's a fantastic song :)
the band are from north london, so the hill referred to might be hampsted heath where everyone lounges on the hillside on summer weekends.
also makes me think of kites...'flew too high' , 'rise rise rise', and time slipping through your hands like the kite string.
i love BBC. they capture youth so brilliantly.
