fine breezy song, singng and guitar ace - highly recommended

@sunnidayz: Ha ha thanks Sunnnidayz! You certainly do in your great lyrics!

This song is one of my all time favorite movies. Such great imagery. I never get tired of hearing this. 

Very beautiful songwriting ! and hey...great band !

the lost track from Blood on the Tracks perhaps? just love that feel

This of course remains a masterpiece of lyrical whimsey. The meter inspired the speed of my "Always Sunday" chorus. So many subjects, so little time. I still wish this song was an hour long. Of course you'd need a break when doing it live. But would still be so worth it.

that galloping rhythm is unmistakable - but there's throwbacks to early Dylan stuff here too. Humdinger ... folksinger. Brilliant, man!

Recordings: July-Aug 2011 NW1 London

We're Away

Dicken's down the Arts Club 
I'm scrambling for a meal
a sixpence in my pocket
and an orange to peel
rambling to the National Portrait Gallery
at least these fine people
are looking back at me
I never knew the different shades of blue
until I met her
I bet my money on horses gone astray
thought I'd never live to see the day
...and we're away 
she says no manual needed
she says I'm son of Zeus
I'm clearly laid out 
and I'm easy to use
she says I'm like pocket change
very good to have
when you're underground 
when you're in a cab
I never knew the different shades of blue
until I met her
I bet my money on horses gone astray
thought I'd never live to see the day
...and we're away
we live under the bridges
no Big Issue for us
I'm just a rockingfella
she's just a rockchild
let's hitch hike down to solstice
let's watch the Stonehenge
but I tell you if it's raining
it could be tense
I never knew the different shades of blue
until I met her
I bet my money on horses gone astray
thought I'd never live to see the day
...and we're away
don't you leave no footprints in the sand
before you nick the pedalo
before it's gone out of hand
Wilde's down at Kettner's
Mrs Langtry lay slain
Jarvis's down at Sheekey's
with Charlie and Mary Jane
the youth are out there on a shopping spree
Big Society
just another brand the youth stole away
come on honey bring the toothbrush
...and we're away
she's my girl curl after curl
we've got nothing to live on
except the luxury
of caring for one another
do you concur?
see the joy it brings to me 
to care for her!
the newspaperman sucks his thumb 
has run out of bread crumbs
I keep my mouth shut
for reasons on my own
stuck without my mobile
I can't get through to her
...she's gone away
the moral of this story
the moral of this tale
always down your pint 
before it's going stale
never leave your dog
for that house across the street
keep you All Stars on
to avoid stinky feet
I never knew the different shades of blue
until I met her
I bet my money on horses gone astray
thought I'd never leave
...and we're away
