There is a discography section on the web-site bearing his name (and forums): http://www.duncansheik.com/ - but I couldn't find that track listed. I managed to find a link to the associated minisite but the "flash" side of things seems to have let down the webdesigners somewhat.

The contact email address on the following fansite may bear fruit: http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~sheik/index.htm - their lyric page link is broken!

Failing these two possibilities, there is what must be a legal download of the track from Altantic Records: you could just play it again and again until you'd written down all the words!

Since I bought the CD and I'm feeling generous this morning....

On A High

I'm on a high I'm on a high
there's nothing more to it
we are the sea and the sky
and the blue that runs through it, yeah

and there are some who say there are so many things I need
so I run or I fight and I crawl or I scream and I bleed
I bleed, I bleed

well, it's a lie it's a lie - don't you believe it
if you're fine then you're fine - it's all how you see it
oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness

I'm on a high I'm on a high
and there's nothing more to it
I have the sun, it's a star
why should I refuse it

and there are so many reasons why I should be down
there's not enough money or time and my love you're not around
around, around

but it's a lie it's a lie - don't you believe it
if you're fine then you're fine - it's all how you see it
oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness

you're alive you're alive - how else could you hear me?
you are fine you are fine - there's nothing worth fearing
'cause there never will be no conspiracy of happiness

I'm on a high, on a high
we are the sea and the sky
I'm on a high, on a high
I'm on a high

it's a lie, it's a lie don't you believe it
'cause I've tried and I've tried, and I can't really see it
Yeah, I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness
said I was yours, you were mine but I didn't really mean it
and I lied and I lied
and I wish you hadn't seen it
'cause I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness.

I typed that directly from the lyrics printed in the CD booklet. I apologize for any errors.
