THE MOUNTAIN

A re-mastered and finely-tuned version of this song from our fourth album

LYRICS:

You're dancing on your own
Such a beautiful song
To the tempo and tone
You can't sing what you know
So you try something old

You can't think why you're old
before all of your friends who were taller than you
You don't think what you're told
could eventually mean it's supposed to be true

They tore it up and poured it over you
And you swept it up and stuck it back with glue

They tore it up and poured it over you
Over you
And you swept it up and stuck it back with glue

They tore it up and you stuck it back with glue

Glue [2022 Rework]

Like an old boot,
with the bottoms wearing through.
Or a moon shoe,
the world has no use left for you. 

There's some new rules,
by which you struggle to abide, 
There's a rip tide,
your just taken off for the ride. 

I was wondering, what your thinking about me.
cos one day soon them thoughts are all i'll be, and there's nothing left (here) but you. 
ahhh oooo
ahhh oooo. 

It's a suitcase but the wheels are wearing down,
It's an empty shop, serving nothing out but frowns.
There's a few changes, 
that the years are throwing round.
You've been making your bets,
but the teams are pulling out. 

Like some sealing wax, 
or a pair of driving gloves.
Like a letter box, 
or the flowering of love. 

There's a old man, 
and a toilet in the yard.
There's a lifetime,
does it have be so hard.

I think this might be my best track - best song, best performance. 
It's about coming home to safety, but in the song I'm actually visualising getting to a campsite with my friends and making pizza...but that cosy picture becomes more of a spiritual homecoming. 
I wrote it around an Indian Raga- the music came from playing an Indian Raga badly but it turned into something else.
