Arrangement, Production & Final Mix by Gordon Midgley

In case you’re wondering why the track is called what it is then I cannot tell a lie. it’s all Gordon’s fault.  I was having an email conversation with him about life, the universe and everything when, for no reason I could easily glean at the time, he said “I’ve got to go and walk to Asda in the fog". I wasn’t sure if he meant he could only walk to Asda if there was fog or that he just needed a walk in the fog and Asda was as welcoming a place to go as anywhere else or, more simply, that he had to get some groceries and Asda was the nearest and most convenient place to go in such inclement weather. Whatever the reason, my immediate thought was “What a great title for a song…”.

There’s certainly no shortage of songs about Covid-19 but I just couldn’t resist the temptation Gord had inadvertently sent my way to vent some of my Covid frustrations.  If you chance to read the lyrics and aren’t from the UK, I should explain that all of the words in capital letters are the names of UK supermarket chain stores.  You may also be wondering why I mentioned the Royal Yacht so, for those of you that hadn’t heard, our wonderful government, in the midst of the pandemic and the financial constraints it was placing on the country, announced that it was commissioning the building of a new one at a cost of somewhere around 200 million pounds.  Isn’t it good to know they have their fingers firmly on the pulse of public spending at times like these?

For some time now, Gal and myself have wanted to work on a track with both Gord and Arkestar and for many reasons, this particular song seemed to lend itself really well to the idea.  We’d therefore both like to thank them for lending their unrelentingly brilliant skills and commitment to the entire project and for making it such a complete pleasure to work on.  We certainly had more fun than we’d a right to. Thanks again for listening. (Terry Reeves)

Walking to ASDA in the fog
Every step with a loud paradiddle 
Avoid a variant of thickening smog
Strings of ministers in cabinet fiddle

Who got it?

Running to TESCO in falling snow
Remaining safe, wash all our hands
Vaccination waits for protection show
Sharp scratch but no summer sands

She got it
He got it

Skate to SAINSBURY’S on slippery ice
Peering to find the unforgiven Lord
Discuss the increasing price of rice
Politicians cut with ceremonial sword

Who needs it?

One, two cold runnings to MORRISON’S way
Sliding monobob a lonely lockdown 
Cresta pandemic flat on skeleton tray
Oxford to Moderna safety COVID town

Middle

Adventurous trip to the ICELAND’S
Climbing frozen peaks in cabinet change
Arctic conditions finding blue diamonds
Words of memoirs on only one page

Who reads it?

Freezer in ALDI like a 63 mission
Hunting food to last past pandemic 
People buy rolls with zero nutrition 
Persuasion ignored by Academics 

Who wants it?
They missed it

Running to LIDL in the ice-kissed smog
Chance of surviving a Third World War
Is there time to buy a new Royal Yacht?
I don’t think so!

LYRICS:

It's time to begin believing
Everything's gonna be alright
It's time to begin believing
Everything's gonna be alright
Got the feeling this mercy
Gonna give me a peace of mind
Got the feeling this mercy
Gonna give me a peace of mind
Gonna give me a peace of mind
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala

The mind can break
The heart can ache
You can push it aside
A tincture of sunshine
Put the shadows away

Put the shadows away
Put the shadows away

When you are mistaken
I'm reflected a thousand times
When you are mistaken
I'm reflected a thousand times
Like a lifeline, your sunshine
It's the battle in your mind
With no reprieve, no virtue
If you give in another night
You'll be running out of time
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala

The mind can break
The heart can ache
You can wipe it out
A tincture of sunshine
Put the shadows away

Put the shadows away
Put the shadows away

All you ever do
Circles back around to you
And all you'll ever be
Will be enough for me
A pinhole of sunlight
Piercing through the rain

I want to feel again
I want to laugh again
I want to live again
I want to love again

The mind can break
The heart can ache
And you can pull it through
Wait out the tempest
A beacon in your eyes

Often come a surprise
Sunshine and butterflies
The dawn of a new day
It puts the shadows away

The sweetest song
I’ve ever heard
Is the one you’re singing now
Sing it with your eyes, your nose
The wrinkle in your brow

The sweetest sight I’ve ever seen
Is the door that leads to you
Through the halls and up the stairs
There’s just one place I’m going to

At the last door, on the right
If all that’s left
Is just tonight
I’ll keep this moment in my mind
In my mind

I know
I’ll see you again
I’ll see you at the beginning
‘Cause all the sweetest stories
They’ve got more than just one ending

Every penny’s lucky
If I spend my cents on you
Every window is a painting
If it’s you who’s looking through

Every door you opened 
Will stay that way I know
You threw away my keys
That’s when I finally made it home

At the last door
On the right
If all that’s left
Is just tonight
I’ll keep this moment
In my mind
In my mind

I know
I’ll see you again
I’ll see you at the beginning
‘Cause all the sweetest stories
They’ve got more than just one ending

I know
I’ll see you again
I’ll see you at the beginning
‘Cause all the sweetest stories
They’ve got more than just one ending

See You Again - After Pluto

Sometimes I do silly things, this is one of those times. Hats!

the picture is Davy Graham, from his album "Hat" probably my favourite guitarist, a true pioneer (not of hats) 
I do play this in DADGAD, which Davy was synonymous with, so the image seemed appropriate, even if the playing isn't.  I'm pretty sure he would have been suitably unimpressed with this song🧐

but I certainly enjoyed doing something a little less serious.

Pronouns

Verse 1:
Yes I grew up with he and she and they
I was the me in my land night and day

They was a pronoun for plural
As if it was on a giant mural

Chorus:
I was unaware 
that in the air
these pronouns 
needed a slowdown 

Verse 2:
“They” meant a group of people
Especially for those under the steeple
They wasn’t an individual
Despite the visual

I never dreamed 
And so it seemed
That someone would prefer
That they refer to  her

Final Verse:
Basic humanity
Call someone what they want
Be it he, she, they or something else

Unused Lyrical Ideas:
they may not fit everyone, 
and it’s not always fun
that it might be a preferred pronoun for an individual
Even someone viewed as irresistible
Now there are choices that an individual may prefer
I hear Ze, Hir, Hirs, 
However the plural they/them/theirs my be preferred in it’s singular form 
as it is more encompassing of gender
Yes, its basic human empathy
If someone goes by he, then call them he
If someone goes by she, then call them she
If someone goes by they, then call them they
Non-binary
Gay
