about

A song of hope and longing. I have missed the familiar thrill of live music in the two years I have been off the road. In that time, the wonders of science have saved millions of lives and given reason to believe we might one day gather again in a room to share an evening of song. It used to be something so simple. I intend to cherish it.

lyrics

I gave my finest days to Rock and Roll
Soda pop and Philly soul
It’s a choice I’d recommend

I knew it couldn’t last forever though
It’s funny how you never know
You’re done ‘til it’s the end

Oh raise me high above the flood
Deploy the soldiers in the blood
The time has come, the moment’s gone
The needle I can pin my hopes on

Two shots of Astra-Zeneca
And all the hope eternity can spring
Then I’ll be back out singing
Two shots of Astra-Zeneca
And thinking just as wishful as I can
That I can see you once again

The fruit has fallen from the apple trees
The wasted opportunities
Are strewn across the ground

And there they sit and rot like expertise
While a thousand dumb conspiracies
Come circling around

So raise me high above the flood
Deploy the soldiers in the blood
The time has come, the moment’s gone
The needle I can pin my hopes on

Two shots of Astra-Zeneca
And all the hope eternity can spring
Then I’ll be back out singing
Two shots of Astra-Zeneca
And thinking just as wishful as I can
That I can see you once again

The Sun will rise
The Earth will spin
The bastards will find a way to win
And this broken heart still holds a song

I haven’t seen you round here in quite some time
How you been? Yeah I’ve been fine
I’ve missed this, how about you?
