about

A song about overcoming the illusion of having to stay in a job you hate and being happy.

lyrics

Well I've written these words
on the back of this pay cheque
It's been a job to set sail on this
abandoned forgotten shipwreck
It's a humdrum beaten heart
that started bleeding
the thoughts in my starved imagination
just needed feeding

So I've closed my eyes
and I've run through an open space
I think I've found a bypass through this
dark and unnatural place
Push these pedals through this clear city artery
I'm starting to remember
just how much this world could mean to me

I've jump started my somersaulting soul
melt me into the falling summer snow
I dig myself out of this mental slavery
I've jump started my somersaulting soul
privy to the whispering of the Willow
I find the simple things extraordinary... extraordinary

So the clockwork of this working world keeps ticking
A distant symphony of keypads
that never stop clicking
Momentum made my mind feel fake fulfilment
Past childhood feelings come flooding
back to the present

So I've closed my eyes
and I've run through an open space
I think I've found a bypass through this
cold and concrete place
Push these pedals through this clear city artery
I'm starting to remember
just how much this world could mean to me

I've jump started my somersaulting soul
melt me into the falling summer snow
I dig myself out of this mental slavery
I've jump started my somersaulting soul
privy to the whispering of the Willow
I find the simple things extraordinary... extraordinary
