"The Tide Is High" is a 1967 song written by John Holt, originally performed by the Jamaican group The Paragons, with John Holt as lead singer. The song gained international attention in 1980, when a version by the American band Blondie became a US/UK number one hit. The British girl group Atomic Kitten also had a number one hit with their version of the song in 2002, and a version of the song was a minor hit for Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall in 2008.
The song was written by John Holt and originally recorded The Paragons, the rocksteady vocal trio of which he was a member, and accompanied by Tommy McCook and the Suspersonic Band. It was produced by Duke Reid and released as a 7-inch single on Reid's Treasure Isle and Trojan labels and as the B-side of the "Only a Smile" single.
The song features the violin of "White Rum" Raymond, and was popular in Jamaica and became popular amongst West Indians and skinheads in the UK when a deejay version by U-Roy was released in 1971. Both tracks from the single were included on the 1970 collection On the Beach.
The Tide may refer to:
1 (one; /ˈwʌn/ or UK /ˈwɒn/, also called unit, unity, and (multiplicative) identity), is a number, a numeral, and the name of the glyph representing that number. It represents a single entity, the unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of unit length is a line segment of length 1.
One, sometimes referred to as unity, is the integer before two and after zero. One is the first non-zero number in the natural numbers as well as the first odd number in the natural numbers.
Any number multiplied by one is that number, as one is the identity for multiplication. As a result, one is its own factorial, its own square, its own cube, and so on. One is also the result of the empty product, as any number multiplied by one is itself. It is also the only natural number that is neither composite nor prime with respect to division, but instead considered a unit.
The glyph used today in the Western world to represent the number 1, a vertical line, often with a serif at the top and sometimes a short horizontal line at the bottom, traces its roots back to the Indians, who wrote 1 as a horizontal line, much like the Chinese character 一. The Gupta wrote it as a curved line, and the Nagari sometimes added a small circle on the left (rotated a quarter turn to the right, this 9-look-alike became the present day numeral 1 in the Gujarati and Punjabi scripts). The Nepali also rotated it to the right but kept the circle small. This eventually became the top serif in the modern numeral, but the occasional short horizontal line at the bottom probably originates from similarity with the Roman numeral I. In some countries, the little serif at the top is sometimes extended into a long upstroke, sometimes as long as the vertical line, which can lead to confusion with the glyph for seven in other countries. Where the 1 is written with a long upstroke, the number 7 has a horizontal stroke through the vertical line.

The Delta Team is called out for their final mission on CLAfghan, a convoy ambush. For those of you who don't know, I have switched to streaming all ArmA and other gameplay back to my Twitch channel: http://www.twitch.tv/Jester814 Due to recent issues on YouTube, combined with extra features that Twitch offers(that YouTube doesn't) I felt that now was a good time to switch back. Some very bad things have been happening on YouTube, including most content creators losing upwards of 90% of their youtube income(I'm down 85%). If YouTube isn't able to recover from this in a timely manner, it may be the end of my, and many others, youtube/streaming career. At this point, I'm relying on the donations I receive to keep my head above water, and I feel that Twitch is a better streaming platform ...

The Tide is high, but I'm holding on.
I'm gonna be your number one.
I'm not that kind of guy who gives up just like that
Tide is high, but holding on.
I'm gonna be your number one.
I'm not that kind of guy who gives up just like that
Er saß in einer Ecke checkte gar nichts mehr,
ruderte herum in einem Boot auf seinem Tränenmeer.
Die Liebe seines Lebens hatte ihn verlassen,
tja und darum wollte er eigentlich sie und nicht sich selber hassen.
Baby tu mir das nicht an, denn ich kann noch viel besser sein,
dachte er, doch damit fing er sie nun auch nicht mehr ein.
So ist das Leben eben, es muss Beben geben, ab und zu,
noch eben stands du in der Sonne uh da kommt der Regen.
Ja, ja, yeah, yeah, wenn er doch nur wieder etwas suveräner wär.
Eigentlich war er's doch, der die Frauen zum Heulen brachte,
oder je nach Stragtegie auch mal'n Joke machte.
Aber wie auch immer ob als Heartbreaker oder Clown,
er war dabei 100 pro der hippest aller Boys in Town.
Soll so bleiben, er steht auf schmeist das Radio an
Und da läuft sein Lieblingssong.
Refr.:
Back on the road war wieder ganz der Alte,
kuckte Mädchen unter'n Rock, Offensive bis es knallte (Boe).
Wenn sie fragten, wann können wir uns wieder sehen,
sagt er weiß nicht Baby, ich hab noch viele Meilen zu gehen.
Vielleicht bleib ich im Süden zwischen Senioritas liegen,
komm im Norden schwer umworben und im Osten auf meine Kosten.
Finally there is a small town im Westen, da lebt die eine,
die schmeckt von allen Frauen am besten.
