News From Nowhere - Seachange[00:00:00]
Written by:Seachange[00:00:01]
Tradition and roots weigh in heavy when the future is unsure[00:00:07]
Unrest in the neighbourhood not seen since years before[00:00:13]
The breaking of the news is pouring fuel onto the fire[00:00:19]
I start speaking words that I know inside don't seem right[00:00:25]
I met him where the road breaks up to the track into the woods[00:00:32]
He hadn't had a talk for a while he wanted to feel understood[00:00:38]
What he had to say sent shivers[00:00:44]
Shivers down my spine[00:00:48]
Don't go until the ground frosts cleared[00:00:50]
The rivers higher than people have seen for years[00:00:53]
Dry bark by the fireside[00:00:57]
Avoid the eyes of strangers outside[00:01:00]
Left him in the eye of the storm[00:01:03]
He said he needed no one else at all[00:01:06]
He follows the law of the land[00:01:10]
Its all there to remind me[00:01:13]
Spent years on long term sick in a terraced house in town[00:01:16]
Something inside of him broke and he made the move out[00:01:23]
Took up a secluded barn with a 10 year stock of supplies[00:01:29]
He says when the church bells ring that's when he'll know they're near[00:01:35]
The way he looked at me sent shivers[00:01:41]
Shivers to the bones[00:01:45]
Keep inside until the first green shows[00:01:48]
He says the trees tell him all he needs to know[00:01:51]
Cut off from the rest of the world[00:01:54]
Nervous speech in riddles and codes[00:01:57]
Left him in the eye of the storm[00:02:01]
He said he needed no one else at all[00:02:04]
He follows the law of the land[00:02:08]
Its all there to remind me[00:02:10]
Its all there to remind me[00:02:24]
Well did you notice him the other day[00:02:40]
There was a tone in his voice which worried me[00:02:45]
We think he may be alone from us now[00:02:48]
He may be further in[00:02:51]
Be smart be still[00:02:54]
Take the action now[00:02:55]
You're yelling about a time that's gone[00:02:58]
Cause and effect[00:03:01]
Take a step back step back step back[00:03:03]
Don't go until the ground frosts cleared[00:03:07]
The rivers higher than people have seen for years[00:03:10]
Dry bark by the fireside[00:03:14]
Avoid the eyes of strangers outside[00:03:17]
Left him in the eye of the storm[00:03:20]
He said he needed no one else at all[00:03:23]
He follows the law of the land[00:03:27]
Its all there to remind me[00:03:30]
Well thank you[00:03:34]
Somehow you helped me through[00:03:35]
The centres founder speaks[00:03:38]
Says all these people are freaks[00:03:40]
And I sympathise but that's as far as it goes[00:03:43]
He says all he needs is a loving wife[00:03:47]
Forgotten about the hours they spent[00:03:51]
Under the water tower[00:03:54]
Its not like that anymore[00:03:56]
Don't go until the ground frosts cleared[00:04:13]
The rivers higher than people have seen for years[00:04:16]
Dry bark by the fireside[00:04:20]
Avoid the eyes of strangers outside[00:04:23]
Left him in the eye of the storm[00:04:26]
He said he needed no one else at all[00:04:29]
He follows the law of the land[00:04:33]
Its all there to remind me[00:04:36]
