[Intro: Sarah Levins]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 1: Jerome Blazé]
Pressure
Time
Beneath the vast abyss
Sydney
Dormant
Dull
Dense
Blessing
Weakness
Grape tree
Cement
Skirting
Edges
Is this what I have missed?
[Refrain: Jerome Blazé & Sarah Levins]
Is this what I have missed?
(Time won't hold me apart from this)
Time won't hold me apart from this
(Ooh)
[Verse 2: Jerome Blazé & Sarah Levins]
Pressure
Time
Amidst the vast abyss (Ooh)
I will
Let go
Defiance (Ooh)
Bliss
Moment
Fleeting
Caught me (Ooh)
Missed
Traffic cone
Telescope
Look out (Ooh)
Persist
[Refrain: Jerome Blazé & Sarah Levins]
Is this what I have missed?
(I won't pull me apart from this)
I won't pull me apart from this
[Chorus: Jerome Blazé & Sarah Levins]
I know I know I know I know
Pressure's got me down
Pressure's got me down
I know I know I know I know
Pressure's got me down
Pressure's got me down
[Verse 3: Sarah Levins]
Pressure
Time
Packed in the back streets and one-ways and detours
High rise
Gridlock
Sky write
Southerly
Sweltering
Do you hear the brown bats heckling?
See the cheeks turn to freckling
The people depending
(Ooh)
[Refrain: Sarah Levins & Jerome Blazé]
Is this what I have missed?
(Time won't hold me apart from this)
Time won't hold me apart from this (Ooh)
[Verse 4: Jerome Blazé & Sarah Levins]
Standing (Ooh)
Watching
Stop shutter movement (Ooh)
Forward
Back
Life in the loading (Ooh)
Siren
Louder
Say hello to your neighbour (Ooh)
Speak with your song
You know we're getting on
(Ooh)
[Refrain: Sarah Levins & Jerome Blazé]
Is this what I have missed?
(I won't pull me apart from this)
I won't pull me apart from this (Ooh)
[Bridge: Sarah Levins]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Chorus: Jerome Blazé & Sarah Levins]
I know I know I know I know
Pressure's got me down
Pressure's got me down
I know I know I know I know
Pressure's got me down
Pressure's got me down
Ooh

Jerome Blazé:
I always imagined there being three perspectives or ‘voices’ on this song. Sarah Levins is one of the best lyricists I know, so I knew she’d be the perfect addition with the song being so imagistic. The cello solo came out of another improvised recording session with James Tarbotton....
