That I may have touched from without to within
Then dust yourself of fingerprints and grin
And grin
We don't have to stay
With these people whose ideas
Are just what other people say
We can walk away
From these feelings that are filling up
Our lives with daze
And I guess that I've been singing all my life
Well that's right
And that is fine
I've been spending all your money and your time
Well that's right
And that is fine
'Cause I don't have to stay
With these feelings that are filling up
My life with daze
I can walk away
From these people whose ideas
Are just what other people say
Again, and again
And the crowd that is gathered is confused
They're all trembling inside solitude
We've got nothing left to use
We've got all the bullets
But there's no one left to shoot
We can't walk away
From these feelings that are filling up
our lives with daze
We may have to stay
with these people whose ideas
are just what other people say
Again, and again
But if heaven is a place upon your skin
That I may have touched from without to within
Will then dust yourself of fingerprints and grin
And grin
And grin
I guess that I've been singing all my life
Well that's right
And that is fine
I've been spending all your money and your time
Well that's right
And that is fine
I Am Kloot were an English rock band, formed in Manchester in 1999. The band was composed of vocalist/guitarist John Bramwell, bassist Peter Jobson and drummer Andy Hargreaves.
The band released six studio albums, and was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2010 for the album Sky at Night. The band split up in 2016, with Bramwell concentrating on a solo career.
The origin of the band name was shrouded in secrecy for the majority of the band's existence, with Bramwell stating in 2013 that the band "never said and we never will" confirm the origin of the name and joked that "If I told you, I'd have to kill you". Jobson later claimed that the name I Am Kloot was inspired by the Alan J. Pakula film Klute, and also that "I Am Kloot is a left handed card game made famous in the diaries of Jerome K. Jerome" – the rules of which are expounded in Jerome’s Three Men on the Bummel.
