about

This was actually a much earlier track that didn't have a home and was one of 4 tracks I had recorded the previous year. This one beat out not-very-stiff competition out of the other 3 to be the one included on the final album.

It should be obvious what it's about.

lyrics

The leaves are hanging on for dear life
while autumn winded me
Yes the leaves are hanging on for dear life
while autumn winded me
wrapped up in scarves and hats
with my woman
is where I want to be

Let's kick the guts from this avenue
and hang the diners out to dry
Let's kick the guts from this avenue
and hang the diners out to dry
it's all automated these days
and I can't see the
wood for the sky

Roll Roll Roll We've got to Roll
Tom has waved us on
Tom waves us on
Roll Roll Roll We've got to Roll

and then we're gone

the beasts that claim the road
picking over bones we left behind
The beasts outside claiming the road
picking over bones we left behind
they never asked us what we wanted
I guess they thought we wouldn't mind

Someone must've told the devil
where we were living
He's on the corner waiting to
make his play
Someone must've told the devil
where we were living
He's on the corner waiting to
make his play
I guess he doesn't realise
I could hide out here quite
easily all day

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
