Special guest: Lino Romeo on bass

lyrics

Dawn light reels in through the carriage windows
Sifting through our stiff necks still in a dream state
Our destination is hanging in a haze
Trust the rail company to take us safely there
Back to the tenements, grey as the sky
Across the green hangs a mirror as big as our building
Escape is free for the body but expensive for the soul
But we did leave and we’re now coming back to laugh at it and sing

Close your eyes, gently jolting
Your dreams are over — what will you make of it

You said the city was mad but I was not sane
It fulfilled no promises but the ones we were asking for
I wanted nothing and was given everything
And that was tough enough but that was fair enough

I was closing my eyes, jumping and jolting
My dreams were over — what did I make of it

Doing what we do best, beautifying memories
Living up to the golden standards of our mythology
