From the recording Blind Spot On The Bright Side Of Life
Lyrics
Blind Spot On The Bright Side Of Life
I spent a lazy day
Out in the sun
There was nothing on my mind
And nothing needed to be done
I wished I had a smoke
But then just bought a new pack of chewing gum
Some street band played a song
I vaguely knew
The singer said
For you for you, it’s all for you
And then he’d look down sadly
Like I guess all singers are supposed to do
Oh, yeah it’s been a long, long time
Since I last felt that light
I'm fine, I just do nothing
But watch the world pass me by
Here in this blind spot
On the bright side of life
There are new houses everywhere
They all look the same
They boast their owners wish
To make a fast buck unashamed
I wonder about disfigurement
And how we’re ever going to explain
Oh, yeah
We had it all my friend
It was in our hands
To make it something beautiful
We chose to never mind instead,
No war, no devastation, no hunger
Speaks in our defence
Stuffed beasts and drunken saviours
Are hanging around here
We all mapped out the same strategy
To disappear
This world of greed and power
Does not speak for me
I’ll rather pick a flower
To show you how I feel
I'll join this roller coaster ride without regret
I never once look back
You show me where to look instead
Working hard and harder
At being hardest to forget
