about

Constant touring bears the danger of losing track of the fact that reality and everyday life looks remarkably different from most other people's perspective. I wrote this song for some great folk who reminded me of this.

lyrics

Harry's got his motorbike for
once a year a six week ride
sometimes I hate this but then again
the money's good i can't complain

the Greek asks for a cigarette
he's the one to always swear
you know Bob Ross that painter tart
way ahead of all this rubbish modern art

this rubbish modern art

did you see them lose the tuesday game
a town in grief it's been a shame
last second's goal did end a dream
can't blame it on the home town team

Sergiu said I used to draw
cartoons when i got off my shift
that's one lost fight i can recall
still few years left to catch those dreams adrift

five past seven clear blue sky
spring just kissed the factoty wall
and the saints
are having a quick smoke
laugh about the same old joke
until the siren calls

Lorenz' stash is everywhere
we all do know but no one cares
as long as that's what
gets him through the day

once our best girl said my friend
and me we did a runner then
unsubscribed from promised land
and what came through between the lines
sounded pretty much
like hell on earth to me
sounded pretty much like hell on earth to me

five past seven clear blue sky
the evening sun just kissed the factory wall
and the saints
are having a last smoke
it's still the same old joke
until the sirens call again
until the sirens call
