about

So much is happening when you grow up and everything seems to matter. Even now I wonder how life would have turned out had we not been the weird kids. But as Peter Hammill says it "It's always the weird kids who write the songs."

lyrics

sunlight through the leaves
afternoons, willow trees
endless moments and evenings
before the internet
kids were hiding cigarrettes
sitting in the field reading

i guess it's half nostalgia
but who's judging us today
when the images are here to stay

we used to talk about a revolution
sharing images and illusions i
on the roof with a pipe and writing

grassy wooden house
poetry, no applause
right until we two were banished
my favourite novel was
flight to afar just because
i had this dream that i would vanish

i guess it's half nostalgia
but who's judging us today?
and it all has been so long ago

we used to talk about a revolution
sharing images and illusions i
on the roof with a pipe and writing
invisible to the world we're fighting

i guess life got in the way
lead us both astray
or it's just the way the story goes

we used to talk about a revolution
sharing images and illusions i
on the roof with a pipe and writing
irrelevant to the world we're fighting

yes we talked of a revolution
whatever happened to you i am wondering
some might say it'll get easier
it'll be easier
