Losing It

Distant rumble throbs my heart Someone tells us we’re apart I’d just like a cute guys curls Envy all those boys and girls And I’m gonna Run a distance Run a mile Run afar Run on for a long time When I was a cool kid I used to play the bass guitar I was really punk rock at the time But now the rock has gone Now the punk has gone And all I’m left with Is an out of tune guitar And a file of lead sheets Sometimes I dream of shredding on stage Screaming a verse And screaming a loud song And other times I dream of sitting at home Switching off the news And drinking a herbal tea in my basement I don’t want to care about this world I’m living in I build myself a castle I build myself an armour And I ask myself why I am so fucking lazy And I’m gonna Run a distance Run a mile Run afar Run on for a long time I’m gonna run another twenty songs Run another pendulum I just wanted to write stories About far minded people People who laugh And people who take photos And people who kill And people who die on steamboats I just wanted to play music With my mates in a band And with Simon Rattle in the Phil I’ve had a lot of ideas And I’ve had a lot of will But the two just don’t line up Distant rumble throbs my heart Someone tells us we’re apart I just have a quiet voice Envy all those girls and boys Distant rumble throbs my heart Someone tells us we’re apart I just have a quiet voice Envy all those girls and boys Distant rumble throbs my heart Someone tells us we’re apart I just have a quiet voice Envy all those girls and boys
