Colwater High has been around for a considerable amount of time. Originally, it was conceived as a possible follow up to Mott The Hoople's Foxy Foxy in 1974. Then, this song was resurrected for the first Hunter LP but it did not see the light of day. Ian had no lyrics for the music. He didn't write the lyrics until 30 years later but oddly enough these words and lyrics for One Fine Day came in about half an hour.
It seems as though the lyrics are describing a love but termed "High" and he counts out 1-4 so maybe he means a high school. It is not clear although the lyrics are among the most intricate he has written. Since he is a slave always perhaps he means the memories and importance of the teen age years.

(Ian Hunter)
one, two, three, four,
one, two, three, four
Silently spoken, days of our lives
Rooms that are broken inside
I need your violence
Songs in the air
Call me 'til I don't care
You're a sight for sore eyes
Colwater High, remember me
I'm the one who'll always be around
To pick up your lies
Colwater High, remember me
I will be your slave forever
Millions of daydreams, lost in your hair
You call me but I'm never there
Crowded arenas, screaming for you
But there's only one dream
You're a sight for sore eyes
Colwater High, remember me
I'm the one who'll always be around
To pick up your lies
Colwater High, remember me
I will be your slave forever
Until the day my heart breaks down
'til the roof is caving in
And my ego hits the ground
And you're my ologist (optometrist?)
You're a sight for sore eyes
Colwater High, remember me
I'm the one who'll always be around
To pick up your lies
Colwater High, remember me
I will be your slave forever
You're a sight for sore eyes
Colwater High, remember me
I'm the one who'll always be around
To pick up your lies
Colwater High, remember me
I will be your slave forever
