lyrics

The man who couldn’t die
is choking on his sandwich
driving home one handed
one eye on the road
sat beside him Deidree
she picks up his dry-cleaning
offers her assistance
despite her heavy load

and he’s not thinking
about her at that moment
he can afford to live life on the edge
but she’s not attached to her mortality
as much as he might think

The park is passing by them
the engine is snapping at the heals
of everyone in front
who will not live forever
and Deidree closes her eyes
and listens to the music
it was her choice to be sat here
living hell for leather

and he’s only thinking of himself
at that moment
because today’s like any other
he can see the direction he wants
to travel
and he knows she can’t go with him

and it will take her a while to get over him
despite the writing on the wall
because she’s always ageing
and he will never die
and their voices will be awkward
when she has to take his call
and he won’t bat an eyelid
when all she does is cry

The man who couldn’t die
100 years from now
finds himself alone
and drinking away his sorrows
his fool proof plan for the future
ignored in favour of a party
and the shallow hum of boring voices
that can’t share his tomorrows

and Diedree still remembered him
right up until her last
but also she had moved on
making so much of herself
and occasionally she wondered
if he was thinking of her
but chances are he wasn’t.

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
