The Wheel Wills

A new and driving reimagining of our upcoming EP opening track 'On The Run', performed live in our studio in Chichester.

Lyrics:

Briefest of loves,
Erosion of water,
Leading to caves,
Boring at the pressure,
Where diamonds shine.
Where you were mine.

I took you to water.
To mountains.
There was gold beneath,
Above them rode the dragons,
With silver arteries,
And a lover's nest,
Atop the sun.
Atop the sun.
Atop the sun.

But there were monsters there.
They tore at me,
Tore at you,
Tore at me.

I shall find a boat
And over the raging sea
I shall depart.
To Taiwan.
Taiwan.
Taiwan.

The trees are uprooted with the winds.
My heart is uprooted from in
Side another
I face up to the challenge
Face up to the challenge
Of an ageing,
And what I once did promise
Up in Beijing.
Of what I once did promise,
But as the lights in the evening I'm gone
On a motorbike across Taiwan.
Down to Kaoishiung
To the port town
To the KTV
And the paupers
The harlequins

Lost. Lost. Lost. Lost.

Beneath the airwaves,
Where the soothsayers are.
And they sever the lips on the corner
I'm on the run,
To where my fortune has lead me
In the nightime
After hours
With strange men
Unsheathed
And I've found that I can
Tell you darling
What I have
What I gained
Is something I can't name.

Cause what I needed
Was never in this boot of yours
I've been hoping that my trials
Beneath the old, old town
Won't be forgotten
And last toward the road
That I know
And I can't find a roll
Which shan't be rolled.

Where diamonds shine.
When you were mine.
Where diamonds shine.
When you were mine.

Where monsters lurk.
Where you were mine.

On The Run (Backroom sessions) 15/11/17

Lyrics:

Tell my mother that I'm cornered
With my thoughts
Home today
Home today

Wonder if what I say is true
That I'll be staying in Taiwan
Taiwan

I've been running round and round
In spite of what I felt was the answer
Felt was the answer
Felt was the answer but I
Could not cry

Because what I had found
Made me laugh.

Made me laugh and I took to the floor
And I took to the streets.

Come on Home
Come on Home
Come on Home

It's not what made me whole enough
It's not what made me whole enough
It's not what made me whole enough

Come On Home 02/12/17
