Lyrics This Weight - Live at Montreux - Van Morrison

This weight
Is weighin' on my heart
This weight
Is tearin' us apart
This weight
Is weighin' on my soul
And it just won't
Leave me alone

(You know, I'm talkin' about this weight)
(You know, I'm talkin' about this weight)

In the neighbourhood
(In the neighbourhood)
People watchin' me
(People watchin' me)
Had to move to protect my sanity
Anonymity is all
I want you see
You may think it's mediocrity
But

(You know, I'm talkin' about this weight)
(You know, I'm talkin' about this weight)

In the Hollywood ain't no good
I would rather be like Robin Hood
If I could only lose this weight

You know, I'm talkin' about this weight)
You know I'm talking about this weight
In this Hollywood (In this Hollywood) ain't no good (ain't no good)
I would be rather be like Robin Hood
If I could only lose this

(You know I'm talking about this weight)
(You know I'm talking about this weight)

In the very first
It was rock and soul
Set me free in body you know
But this weight
Is just bringing me down
It's never satisfied
Every time I go to town

(You know, I'm talkin' about this weight)
You know, you know, you know, you know
(You know, I'm talkin' about this weight)
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know
Where I'm talkin' about this weight
(You know, I'm talkin' about this weight)
You know, you know, you know, you know You know I'm talkin' about this weight
You know, I'm talkin' about this weight
You know, I'm talkin' about this weight
You know, I'm talking' about this

Weight
