Nothing's New

I know it’s nothing but a curse
But I’ll pray for you in vain
You’d hate to be on my mind
But I’ll pray for you in my time
I know it’s getting late
No point wasting the days
I walked ‘round through the streets of our time
Couldn’t spot where you left me behind
Your back
Over my head
Out of reach
Everything moves
But nothing’s new
You can leave it all behind
But I’ll still love your mind
I lay back on a changing tide
And tried to look down the line
Life doesn’t make much sense
No point trying to pretend
Maybe I’ll drop you a line sometime
If you don’t write back well that’s fine
You know we care
We always will
Everything shifts
Everything’s still
There’s a rope
Behind our backs
Everything moves
But nothing’s new

Sleepers

Sleepers sleep through the day through the week while life drifts onward
Sleepers crimes are nothing sublime just a little too distant
You're probably thinking that it’s time
It has been for a while
But I fell for a distant gaze
And that's just our style
Sleepers sleep on the real tough speak while the days get darker
Sleepers dream through the troughs and the peaks, keep their path oblique and follow your heart
You're probably thinking that it’s time
To pick up the slack
But I fell for a distant gaze
And she's got my back
Nah nah nah nah nah nah.....

Alive

I saw you out on the lawn
Met my gaze carried on
I didn’t know how to carry on
Losing touch, holding on
Lost nights, try to remember
Feeling alive, feeling alive
Blue skies in the middle of the night
Feeling alive, feeling alive
I was once hypnotized
Now nothing left but cloudy skies
I don’t know how to say goodbye
Is it time, to run it dry
Lost nights, try to remember
Feeling alive, feeling alive
Blue skies in the middle of the night
Feeling alive, feeling alive
And I thought I couldn’t wait to be alone
I’ll guess I’ll find out
And I thought I couldn’t wait to be alone
I’ll guess I’ll find out
And I thought I couldn’t wait to be alone
I’ll guess I’ll find out

Upside Down

It must've been a trick, yeah a, a trick of the light
That turned all these faces upside down tonight
‘Cos I’ve got the sunshine that bends through the air
And tells you all the secrets of love and despair
Like who do you love
And what’s the fuss
Who do you love
Apart from me, baby
Would you trade your fortune and fame
For a sentimental favourite who will go unnamed
And it worked in my head when I was sitting out back
But when they turned on the lights it’s a heart attack
Like who do you love
And what’s the fuss
Who do you love
Apart from me, baby
Let it grow
Watch it bloom
Whatever happens
There’s a place for you
Let it grow
Watch it bloom
Whatever happens
There’s a place for you
Let it grow
Watch it bloom
Whatever happens
There’s a place for you

Carry On

Carry on
When the night sings
And your ears ring, you think
Carry on
When the time bends
And the party ends, you just
Carry on
You feel hopeless
You feel breathless, then you hear me whisper
Carry on, carry on
You know I love you
Just let it come to you
Carry on
When the day breaks
And your head aches, you just
Carry on
It’s all routine
A dull daydream, where you
Carry on
Into nowhere
But you don’t care, because you just
Carry on, carry on
But you know I love you
I’ll tell you again
You know I love you
Just let it come to you

Dakota

I put a stop to my wages
I tore up manuscripts and pages
And I felt free, for a while
And then I broke down in denial
Oh my Dakota
You’re getting older
Can you help me break my hold of
Feeling blue, getting old
There’s no paint on the canvas
Just an absence filled with sadness
And I’ve seen friends come and go
But only one stayed through the snow
Oh my Dakota
You’re getting older
Can you sit here let me ponder
What it means
What’s my fate
Nights go by
I dream awake
Is this a phase
It’s getting late
Strike a match
Until it breaks
Oh my Dakota
You’re getting older
Can you help me break my hold of
Or just sit, a while, with me

Such a beautiful reimagining of a lovely MBV track. Makes me feel like I'm sitting alone in a small empty room on a grey cold morning during lockdown. Oh wait... that's what I'm doing!
