about
I love this track - Written by The Blue Nile, Paul Buchanan. The lyrics are an amalgam of two live recordings on YouTube
This recording was just a bit of fun. I don't do cover versions, I only do my own versions - although Paul and co. haven't released a studio version of this tune. I did my best to cover it in a Blue Nile kinda way - like it or loathe it! :-)

lyrics
Meanwhile by Paul Buchanan
Meanwhile out on the pavement
Everyone's moving
Going for morning coffee
I'm always in the same place
Letters in a suitcase
Catching a ride to nowhere
I was telling you lies and
Leading you on,
Working it out
And you, close to the ground but
Head in the clouds,
Where are you now?
And meanwhile, everything's changing,
Moving and shaking,
Lost in a million pieces
I'm running out to meet you,
Wanting to believe you're,
Watching the northern shoreline
I was telling you lies and
Leading you on and
Working it out
And you, close to the ground
Head in the clouds,
Where are you now?
Meanwhile, out on the pavement,
Everyone chasing
Watching the northern days go by
Inst.Bridge
Meanwhile, go where you wanna
Tell me you gotta bus to somewhere else
I go along the subway
Angels on the runway
Leading me all directions
I was telling you lies
Leading you on
Working it out
And you, head in the clouds,
Close to the ground,
Where are you now?
Meanwhile, everything's changing,
Moving and shaking,
Lost in a million pieces, and I...
I can't believe you're leaving me
I can't believe you're leaving me
Meanwhile, out on the pavement
Everyone's moving
Going for morning coffee
I'm always in the same place
Letters in a suitcase
Catching a ride to nowhere
Meanwhile, everything's changed
Moving in shade
Watching the northern days go by
Meanwhile out on the pavement
Everyone's moving
Going for morning coffee
I'm always in the same place
Letters in a suitcase
Catching a ride to nowhere
I was telling you lies and
Leading you on,
Working it out
And you, close to the ground but
Head in the clouds,
Where are you now?
And meanwhile, everything's changing,
Moving and shaking,
Lost in a million pieces
I'm running out to meet you,
Wanting to believe you're,
Watching the northern shoreline
I was telling you lies and
Leading you on and
Working it out
And you, close to the ground
Head in the clouds,
Where are you now?
Meanwhile, out on the pavement,
Everyone chasing
Watching the northern days go by
Inst.Bridge
Meanwhile, go where you wanna
Tell me you gotta bus to somewhere else
I go along the subway
Angels on the runway
Leading me all directions
I was telling you lies
Leading you on
Working it out
And you, head in the clouds,
Close to the ground,
Where are you now?
Meanwhile, everything's changing,
Moving and shaking,
Lost in a million pieces, and I...
I can't believe you're leaving me
I can't believe you're leaving me
Meanwhile, out on the pavement
Everyone's moving
Going for morning coffee
I'm always in the same place
Letters in a suitcase
Catching a ride to nowhere
Meanwhile, everything's changed
Moving in shade
Watching the northern days go by
