10. Where I been (Im Out)

the glory of arunachala

Written by Terry Reeves, 1981
Recorded in a dusty attic, Wallington, Surrey, 1983
Terry Reeves: Vocals/ Guitar 
Brian Reeves: Guitar
John Palmer: Bass
Gary Reeves: Drums

Back in 1981, there was a major news item on the front of the tabloids involving two young teenagers who had committed suicide in a car. They left a note saying that there was no point in carrying on living as they had no job and no money. Unemployment was the highest it had ever been at that time, so it made the headlines. This song was my comment. There was nothing great about the Thatcher government and yes, I was there. (Terry Reeves)

LYRICS

Work hard at school and you will succeed
Get the pieces of paper that you need
You will get there if you are the best
But what happens to us, all the rest

CHORUS
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT

Discipline will curb your greed
Much more training's what you need
It's better now than it's ever been
Hard times like these we have never seen

CHORUS X 2

Lets tell the truth and not live a lie
No piece for us of that money pie
The youth are the future that's what we're told
But what will they tell us when we're too old

CHORUS X 2

So what's the point in carrying on
Growing up is just one big con
Haven't listened to a word that's said
Perhaps you'll listen when I'm dead

NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT

V1
How will we get through the
Thousands of hours of our 
Lives here on earth
So long since our birth
V2
What are we thinking as
Torrents of words pour all   
Over our minds, leaves us 
Dazzled and blind
M81
Got to look, see how the time flies
Got to look, laugh till you cry
Got to look, but it’s warm like a hug
Then, somebody said, “It’s a drug”
Ch1
Need, screen time
Plead, screen time
More, screen time
Roar, screen time
V3
Palms sway on breezes
Waves lap on beaches 
But they’re on their own
They can’t beat the zone
V4
Lost to the voice that’s
So better placed than
Poor reality
Poor reality
M82
Got to look, it might be for me
Got to look, it’s important, you see
Got to look, what did I miss?
Only a life, by an inch or a kiss
Ch2
Need, screen time
Plead, screen time
More, screen time
Roar, screen time
V5
Long in the future
When they come looking
To see where we went
All those messages sent 
V6
Over and over
Those voices in unison 
Crying out loud
The same feral howl
Ch3
Need, screen time
Please, screen time
More, screen time
Roar, screen time

Perfect
V1
Seems like I’ve been dreaming 
The whole evening
On a blue, far off shoreline
Glimpses stealing
The one true meaning
Seen perfectly

V2
I’ve been slow boat flying
The landscape lying
Smoothly to the skyline
Sun sets blazing 
The pale moon’s lazing
Goes drifting by

Ch1
So, if you should take,
Take for a moment, just a moment
If you ever wondered why
Why it’s so perfect, so perfect, you cry

The play we’re in today
Speaks our lines, writes our lives
It plays on perfectly

V3
You may waken going
The river’s flowing
The dream is passing by
Fortune’s favour is
Destined, later
When asking why

V4
There is no use trying
By word or writing
Reasoning those states so rare
Restless questers
Like courtyard jesters
So far away

Ch2
So, if you should take,
Take for a moment, just a moment
If you ever wondered why
Why it’s so perfect, so perfect, you cry

The play we’re in today
Speaks our lines, writes our lives
It plays on perfectly
Speaks our minds, writes our times
It plays on perfectly

Perfect

V1
All around, the crazy little changes
The air is full of thrill
There’s a kind of madness that found us
Endless days to fill

Calling all who remember
Feeling the strange new power
It seemed that our small horizons
Were opening up and how

Chorus 1
Life on the street
Friends that you meet
The ease and the freedom
The nights without sleeping

New clubs on old roads
Colourful clothes
Your hair’s growing longer
And longer

V2
We were a new generation
The world now goes our way
High, bright, life for the taking
Washing out the grey

Calling out to remember
The colourful nights and days
When opportunity called you
You grabbed it and ran all day

Chorus 2
The last gig was tight
The band was just right
That’s when it all comes together as ever

The end is in sight
At the end of the night
It’s work in the morning
Just crazy

Crazy

V1
Roll back making tracks play it for free
No one’s waiting round to see if it be
A hit or miss baby oh that’s just so twee
Get a life or your going to die to hear the PB

V2
No luck make a buck’s no way to be
Play around making sounds the bitter to be
Better now baby cause we’re on the TV
Playing nice name your price 
We’re what you want us to be

Chorus
Three minute picture shows that’s what we’ve got
What are we saying? Whatever you want
What are giving? We’ll give you the lot
We’re going to give it out, all the lot

Don’t You Know © Chris Wiggs 13.03.20
Artwork © Chris Wiggs 13.03.20
V1
Something happened in the dead of night
Crash of thunder and a flash of light
In the morning, cold and all alone
Your frozen to the bone
People look through you like you’re not there
Unaware at all
Scream and shout but no-one turns to stare
The truth, it slowly dawns
Ch1
Don’t You Know
You’re the lonely ghost, abandoned soul, an empty host
Existing in between their lives
Not really there at all
Just a shadow on their wall
V2
Flying high you take a look below
See them running, running to and fro
Chasing dreams of happiness to hold
And chasing dreams of love
Stagger on you know you’re barely there
Reaching, grasping on
Fading fast you must leave before
The day will see you gone
Ch2
Don’t You Know
You’re the lonely ghost, abandoned soul, an empty host
Existing in between their lives
Not really there at all
Just a shadow on their wall
A shadow on the wall

Don't You Know

Change no one. Change nothing. React to no one, react to nothing. Do not live in the past and do not, worry about the future. Stay in the eternal now, where all is well. After all you are me and I am you. There's no difference. Do not react to the world. Do not even react to your own body. Do not even react to your own thoughts. Learn to become the witness. Learn to be quiet.
