Lyrics
Goodbye to the sky
I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel?
You are my achilles heel
Hello to below
I feel love flow like a river flow you and I
Standing still
You are my achilles heel
Feeling free yeah what about me?
Well you gotta give it up coz I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel
Goodbye to the sky
I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel
For there's a child in your eyes and the child never dies
To keep the dream alive
With the aid of second sight
I can push with all my might
To make a statue in the sky
Of my achilles heel
Small fry don't know why
Gotta get high just to love life
You are my highs and lows from my head to my toes
I said hey la
Will I go far?
Will I go far - cos I love life
Do you know how I feel?
You are my achilles heel
I said Oh no no
Will I go slow?
Now will I go slow?
When the feeling flows
Well you're feeling free
So what about me?
I said hello and goodbye
But I don't know why
Well while we're small fry
On the line
With my achilles heel
Achilles heel etc (- to fade)
Music video by Toploader performing Achilles Heel. (c) 1999 Sony BMG Music Entertainment (UK) Limited

This song is in my top 5 favourites of all time and is at slot number 2. Toploaders other under rated song 'Only for a while' is at number 1. I've been on this Planet now for 43 Years and although I'm virtually dead on the inside emotionally this song still brings tears to my eyes. If anyone is interested in my 3rd and 4th on my list those honours go to Keanes 'Bad Dream' (3rd) and 'Bedshaped' (4th) Don't do these songs an injustice by playing them quietly as they need to be played LOUDLY!

Richard Hawkes I don't think the music industry was to blame for the demise of Toploader, it was the food industry.

That however went to shit the second they became that band from the Bisto adverts.

1999 was a hectic year for me moving with my new wife after all sorts of crap. From the concrete West London to the the Jungle that was Wiltshire. I was still working in the concrete which meant a round trip of 150 miles just for work and back, thankfully not any more. Toploader was mostly in the cd player. I thought Achilles Heel was a fantastic song as I believe it was first off the album before "Dancing in the Moonlight" which done well in the top 20 while Achilles heel was in the top 60 ish too late to check I am knackered. I suppose Achilles Heel is more pertinent when you are in the war of life I suppose. Still a brilliant song and one I still listen to. Strange how the first time you hear a song that gets you. Well first time I heard this song was west bound M4 just before the Hungerford exit. So I bought the cd. simples, yes!
