Tord Øverland Knudsen & Matthew Murphy & Dan HaggisReady for the High Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can scream like a banshee and still nothing comes
You can buy a heart balloon and watch the sky grow dull
I've said it all before, I am ready for the high
'Cause nothing works worse than the weekend fix
I put the money in the slots and then they fell to bits
I've said it all before, I am ready for the high
[Chorus]
I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fistfight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I want to stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinking moon beams
I should be pulling you close to me
And not explaining why
I am ready for the high
[Verse 2]
Maybе Generation X are thе chosen ones
They've got everything they need beneath their aching thumbs
I'll say it all again, I am ready for the high
Because underneath the low, there's a lower part
A place I only like to go to when we come apart
I'll say it all again, I am ready for the high
[Chorus]
I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fistfight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I want to stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinking moon beams
I should be pulling you close to me
And not explaining why
I am ready for the high
I am ready for the high
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fistfight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I want to stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinking moon beams
I should be pulling you close to me
And not explaining why
I am ready for the high
(I am ready for the high)
[Outro]
I am ready for the high

What did The Wombats say about "Ready for the High"?
It’s a bit of a mad song sonically, going from this 90s grunge stuff into full Blur – “Universal” brass for the chorus. Well I say “Universal”, that’s what I wanted it to be. Like I’m not sure if we actually achieved that but I’m happy with what we achieved anyway.

What have the artists said about the song?
This is one of the first songs we did, the three of us when we were over in Murph’s little studio that he’s got attached to his house. We just went in on the first day, started noodling around and Murph was like, ‘Ooh, what’s that little riff there? Cool. That’s a starting point.’ By the end of the...
