lyrics

When I was a young man, I played it cool,
hanging back on my heels,
never saying how I feel.
Hang back assess the situation,
I took myself out of the equation,
it’s a get by situation, but it aint real.
Just a little piece of me survived,
made it ‘cross the great divide,
If I sound a little sanctified,
It’s ‘cos I’ve got you by my side,
And that’s the truth.

I tell my baby the truth,
that I’m vulnerable and I need her love,
I tell my baby the truth.

Not too many roots on this tree;
It’s a guessing game how they made me,
No man to man talks, ‘less it’s on the rocks,
just a boombox and some 45s,
I made a little life that way,
a little Dylan, a little Marvin Gaye,
what’s underneath a little hard to say, but I survived.
I made it ‘cross the great divide,
If I sound a little sanctified,
there’s only one reason why,
‘cause I got you by my side,
And that’s the truth.

I tell my baby the truth,
that I’m vulnerable and I need her love,
I tell my baby the truth.
I tell my baby the truth,
she met me half way and now it’s alright,
I tell my baby the truth.

tune in
drop out
can't recall
what its all about
mind scrubbed & freshly numb
room at the bottom I'll save you some
footloose & fancy free
I got the moon to marry me
I fucked up & I'll do it again
I'm not a monk
I'm not your friend/
when the mainframes crashed
and the towers came down
another Anthropocene
in an ordinary town ... more
