A Sale of Two Souls - The Tangent[00:00:00]
The sun is hanging low now and the nights are drawing in[00:00:28]
Everywhere I go are signs of autumn the air seems thin[00:00:42]
A new ache in a muscle a new crack in some bone[00:00:56]
Another word that just enters the new language on its own innit[00:01:09]
And I fail every time I lose the trail[00:01:21]
Every time the paper chase of this new race[00:01:30]
Leads me into some darkened place[00:01:35]
I flap my hands in effort to keep up[00:01:38]
A new band on the TV with oh so familiar sound[00:02:14]
That echoes things and sentiments I liked before first time around[00:02:27]
And I fail every time I touch the braille[00:02:40]
Every time I run my fingers 'cross the words[00:02:48]
I cannot read the dots are blurred[00:02:53]
There's nothing you can write that I can feel[00:02:57]
Age creeping on me like rampage[00:03:04]
Carving lines upon my face[00:03:13]
The fast distorting youth the sunken eyes the broken tooth[00:03:16]
The shadows of reflections I once knew[00:03:22]
Old not quite yet there but I'm told days get shorter as you[00:03:30]
Mould them to your respective needs[00:03:40]
Shrinking as your life blood bleeds[00:03:44]
Into someone else's system or their veins[00:03:47]
Hold on for a moment[00:03:57]
The sky's as blue as when I was young[00:04:03]
And I've as much right to play there as the young guys[00:04:08]
Beneath a billion year old sun[00:04:15]
And I still have my fingers[00:04:22]
And they still push the keys[00:04:29]
'Cos everyone I know got older at the same rate as me[00:04:34]
There are only two of me[00:04:48]
One's lost in 1973[00:04:53]
With faded loons and pom pom hat an afghan CND and all that[00:05:00]
Peace and love and rock and roll[00:05:06]
