about

There is a lot of heavy stuff going down at the moment, none of it we seem to take very seriously.

lyrics

Hope you’re keeping track of what we’ve seen Down to earth and lost to the sea
No rush to take your place until the day is done No one will take your place it is almost done

You could have had it all if you’d wanted it. We could have had too if you’d not squandered it

All the things you though you’d seen. Replayed for the giant screen
What you decide I must believe has never meant that much to me at all

We are drilling in the fields whilst the forests are on fire
Can’t tell what is right ‘til you’re hanging by the wire
Soaked right to the skin from wading through the mire
Beneath the setting sun the pall of endless Winter has begun

Hope you’re keeping faith with what we’ve lost. Got to pay their price at any cost
No equity it seems, sands are running low. Taken but not earned is just how it goes

We could have had it all if we had wanted it. You could have had it too if we’d not squandered it

All the things you thought you’d seen. Relayed on a tiny screen
What you decree I will believe. Has never meant a single thing to me

As the flood subsides we are left to count the cost. A replay of the good, good life that never was
Live beyond the fear and forget that we are lost

That is where we are and where we are going
