been trying for ages to write a song about the joy of riding a motorbike, if you ride a bike you will get all the references

Up and down the gearbox

EASY COME, EASY GO
(c) JunkHeap Oct 16 2021

A relationship song.  A song with symbolism, innuendo and up for personal interpretation.  This song is about trying to hang onto the things that matter and letting go of what doesn’t.  Fix what's worth fixing, don't walk away and brush it off as 'C'est la vie'.    We need to feel comfortable in any relationship.  Things sometimes come to us easy but can also be easily lost.  It’s important to take a step back during these experiences and take it all in, do an emotional inventory and change along the way.  If you've made the effort and it didn't happen then... easy come, easy go. 

-------------  

The morning sun wakes them.
Looking out their window at the day.
Summer isn't here to stay.

There's always someone 
hoping and believing.
Someone always looking in vain,
trying to make their pain go away.

Easy come and we all know,
we need to take a step back, 
and take it all in.

I just want to be me.
  
Eat, drink and be merry
this may be your last meal.
The leaves have turned,
the colours are such a big deal.

Chances pass, fleeting opportunity.
Hindsight should not be regret.
Just make a mental note and move on
before you're dead.

Easy come, easy go. 
we need to take a step back, 
and take it all in.


Alles Lüge
