Life is only in pictures

lyrics

A voice in the hall whispers
It was a delight
The players in the band wonder
What did we do right
People at the top pat down everyone in line
Taking wallets and jewellery
News says this seems fine

A woman at the back says hey
What about me
The referee is too busy watching soap operas on TV
Those who should know better kick up a stink
Asking those of us not sleeping
Also please don’t think

I’m backing out of this agreement
I’m clearing all of my debt
We’re laying tables at the gun fight
Harbouring the memories we’re pretending to forget
You can take it to the water
But please don’t get it wet
Life is only in the pictures
It’s the purchases you don’t make
You’re told is all you’ll regret

The lazy electrician says I’ll get to it when I get to it
The crowd that’s slowly forming is having difficulty assembling the kit
The cameras that don’t stop flashing capture culture on the run
But they only hang the ones that wind up everyone

The small print and annotations
Go on for miles and miles and miles
No one has time to make arrangements
Or for polishing the tiles
Your over bearing presence has been
Noted in the files
Life is only in the pictures
It’s the purchases you do make
That will have them rolling in the aisles

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
