about

First single from forthcoming 'mallows Marsh' album.

I wrote this quickly then I listened to a lot of XTC and that really seeped into the arrangement. The chorus has big echoes of the Velvet Underound’s ‘Who Loves the Sun’ doesn't it? It might sound like some sort of post-pandemic anthem, but really its about living in the future and not really acheiving anything in the present — "Mañana, Mañana". I drew a picture of a car driving off a cliff into a beautiful sunset for the artwork, but maybe that’s more reflective of what the song sounds like in the current political/world context….anyway, maybe if the Hindus and the Buddhists are right and the universe is cyclical, we all get another go?

lyrics

throw me over the side
i cried like i almost meant it
peerin over the tall
thick-walled parapet

and if the first ten years of your life
are lost in the wild
oh then the last ten years’ll be all you find

knock back cod-liver oil
on a wheel rotating
keep me supple my dear
apothecarist

and if the last tn years of your life
fallen away
oh then the next ten years’ll decide whats left
there’s something moving in the pines

we could do anything now!
sybaritically built
i wilt in the humdrum have my
one good eye on the clock
tick tock tick-tick tock

and if the next ten years of your life
just slowly erode
do you keep going til you run out of rope?
i never thought i’d hear you say

we could do anything now!

the milk is dripping down the hill
there’s always more to find
but if the universe
is cyclical
then everything repeats in time
