Words by Mart Walker. Music by Martin Walker and The Curb.

"It's after midnight, it takes hours to wind down, in that time, I go round the same scene again...
Of a low budget show, kiss and don't tell, am I blameless or fooling myself?
And in the morning I wake up and take my time, clear my mind, a new day starts over again...
Like a low budget show, kiss and don't tell, am I blameless or fooling myself?"

Mart Walker - lead vocal and acoustic guitar
Jonny Fowlds - backing vocals

Fooling Myself

Words by Jonny Fowlds. Music by Jonny Fowlds and The Curb.

"There's a car parked in the alley, with the trunk left open wide, as the gunshot rings, my heart it sings...Lord it ain't my time.
Down the fire escape I'm running, barefoot in the rain, headlights burn into my eyes...Lord it ain't my time.
Hitch a ride off a stranger, where they'll find me I don't know.
Sleeping down in a motel coz I know I can't go home.
Through the crowded streets I'm walking: me, myself, the invisible man. There ain't know way you'll find me...Lord it ain't my time.
I walk through the shadows of the valley of death and I came out the other side. I've paid my dues yeah I'll sing my blues...Lord it ain't my time.
I can feel it hanging over me...."
