Donât think because Iâm not doing more in the moment, Iâm not doing more.
Iâve seen what comes from point scoring,
I was born torn between warring factions.
Iâm Practically a doormat Iâm so diplomatic,
and thatâs why I know those that mean well donât know theyâre problematic,
myself included,
I know I'm not easily spooked,
but I still shudder at how far removed we are from moving on.
So go easy on us, nothing to see here people, move along.
Crushing biscuits in the carpet with the thumb of Godâs good grace
and no respect for how the fibres frayed make space for new mess.
I look awkward when Iâm walking forward even when Iâm not,
a static shock of mad propulsion stood convulsing in one spot.
We want tomorrow now whichever way the chips may fall,
coz trust me, one day soon when winter doesnât come,
Iâm gonna buy that valley below.
Weâll build a vineyard in the north.
Under the heel,
heard youâre lower than hell because youâre keeping it real,
is it treating you well?
I donât wanna talk about it,
I just want be left alone,
still, Iâm gonna bug those red tape conversations.
More mandatory sour grapes,
a toast to borrowed time,the wine idea was mine though.
The wine idea was MINE.
Canât see a way through,
though I hope you know that i fought tooth and nail for you
and if truth dies tonight on the vine tonight so be it.
History never looks the same from both sides
and so when darkness surrounds you,
perhaps itâs because youâre the black hole? I dnno
Keen hobbyist to semi pro, but I still got soul,
Don't let it go to waste, amateur sommelier, I get paid to get pissed these days, its ace.
Do what you love, and youâll never work another day in your life
until the well runs dry that is,
behold the final dawn flung from the moonâs mad jaws crawling back into his hole.
I made a promise to you all,
A VINEYARD FOR THE NORTH.
Under the heel, heard youâre lower than hell,
keeping it real isnât treating you well,
donât wanna met with my maker so Iâm quitting the band.
I wanna buy a few acres, live off the fat of the land,
cap in hand I stand before her,
mother nature bring me water.
And they said that from this soil under that sun,
no more could grow, but just look.
Behold Godâs green glow rolling over the valleys below,
but go steady,
weâre at the mercy of the storm clouds now.
Under the heel, heard youâre lower than hell,
keeping it real isnât treating you well,
donât wanna met with my maker so Iâm quitting the band.
I wanna buy a few acres, live off the fat of the land,
cap in hand I stand before her,
mother nature bring me water

Every song is a snippet of a northern soap opera for the now. How do you just keep getting better with every tune? 65 years old, and I wish all music had this importance. Keep on. Keeping on, Yard Act.
