The last song of my Song A Week project, Song#53

Cradle To Grave
It's the death of another year gone around
And I'm closer to the cradle than the grave still
But I still feel panic as my hair's go grey
Watch a little life go day by day
I don't think that I make enough anyway
Should've tried a little harder in the first place
Watched my fears go down the tube
Have a little mid-life, just like you

I can't wake cos my brain won't start
I can't sleep because my brain won't start
But I get up anway, have another day
Move a little closer from the cradle to the grave
I feel down and I don't wanna be down
Got a little bit of lost and found
Lost my money and I lost my soul
Got a little closer but I don't wanna be old

I can't breathe and I can't go too long
Without doing something, everybody's done wrong
Need a little bit more time and space
Need a little time without seeing your face
I know I've done wrong I'll change it in a little bit
I try to help you, but I don't see the benefit
In going round in circles day by day
Move a little closer from the cradle to the grave

Congrats, again, Aidy. That was fun to see some of the pictures from your performances and many songs. Gimpie or whoever he is freaks me out.

I'm sure Gimpy is a very respectable, confidence-inducing fellow, Aidy, if a bit quiet.

How lovely to hear that the bits and pieces of the collab are coming together! I'm very curious what you'll do with all of them as you play around with the tracks.

I saw the list of all your upcoming concerts. If only Cambridge weren't so far away! That would be fun to leave Iowa for a little concert-going. Maybe I should get the ol' Learjet out of the garage... I might as well blow some of my drug money on fuel to fly to Europe.

GOD'S FRONT PORCH
I'm the lonliest man in the world right now
Maybe I'm not, maybe I'm just down
For the next three days I'll call this home
Watching all the ground beneath us fall
Life with you never felt like this
Never been one for the simple things

Standing on the corner of God's front porch
Watching all the ground beneath us fall
Lonliness and solitude
Seldom get the two confused

Quit your job and walk away
Didn't like it that much anyway
Sell your house and start again
Burn your past and make new friends
You can check out anytime you want
Already been a tad too long

If I tried and if I missed
Would you leave me alone like this
For all the things I've ever done
Would you let my life go on

I'm the lonliest man in the world right now
Maybe I'm not, maybe I'm just down

Hey, I've been away for a long time, not sure if anyone on here remembers me but basically I've been locked away writing and recording and starting a new band. Here's the first finished song I've done in a long time :-)

ANIMAL
--------
I’ve got my head screwed on
But when I come undone
I don’t need anyone
Till the feeling’s gone
All I need, is a little piece of sanctuary
I need a little space and time
To be alone in my own mind
I’m Just an animal
I’m just a silhouette
Behind your talking head
I need to be alone
In my own sweet home
All I need, is a little bit of sympathy
A little place to call my own
Where I don’t have to hear you moan
All I know, is everything you’ve ever known
Though I could never tell you that
You know it’s just a simple fact
I’m just an animal

the British IBM
Standing in an alley way
Between two bars, blood on my face
You’re looking at me and I’m looking at you
Remember when we were both still friends
None of this would of happened then
But everything I learnt, I learnt from you
If we’d of kept it all together
Maybe we’d still be friends
If we’d of finished what we started
We’d be the British IBM
Could’ve been another way
Left your dreams for another day
But I could never be the one, to talk you down
I saw it all on a TV screen
Under a ton and you flicker green
But I could never be the one, to watch you fall
If we’d of kept it all together
Maybe we’d still be friends
If we’d of finished what we started
We’d be the British IBM
And now we’re both in the history books
A little world that we both once shook
Never understood, what’s a heaven for?
Knew you then as I know you now
Watched it all come crashing down
Watch a little time, as time goes by
