A Sale of Two Souls - The Tangent

作曲：Not Documented

The sun is hanging low now and the nights are drawing in

Everywhere I go are signs of autumn the air seems thin

A new ache in a muscle a new crack in some bone

Another word that just enters the new language on its own innit

And I fail every time I lose the trail

Every time the paper chase of this new race

Leads me into some darkened place

I flap my hands in effort to keep up

A new band on the TV with oh so familiar sound

That echoes things and sentiments I liked before first time around

And I fail every time I touch the braille

Every time I run my fingers 'cross the words

I cannot read the dots are blurred

There's nothing you can write that I can feel

Age creeping on me like rampage

Carving lines upon my face

The fast distorting youth the sunken eyes the broken tooth

The shadows of reflections I once knew

Old not quite yet there but I'm told days get shorter as you

Mould them to your respective needs

Shrinking as your life blood bleeds

Into someone else's system or their veins

Hold on for a moment

The sky's as blue as when I was young

And I've as much right to play there as the young guys

Beneath a billion year old sun

And I still have my fingers

And they still push the keys

'Cos everyone I know got older at the same rate as me

There are only two of me

One's lost in 1973

With faded loons and pom pom hat an afghan CND and all that

Peace and love and rock and roll
