Django Reinhardt and The Monkees collide in a wish for a better tomorrow.
lyrics
Did you figure out what your life’s about
Well is it for the kids
Is it drink or work or drugs
Or is it anything you can get
Are you chasing down your own oblivion
Or are you on the mend
Are you skating on the thinnest ice
Wishing you could choose your friends
I’m thinking of a better place where
No-one has to follow
This at all
Your big ambitions lead to
The biggest kind of fall
That is all
Is your company making money
Do you keep it in the black
Do you suffer executive ulcer
Stress-induced heart attack
Are you swimming with bigger fishes
Are you moving with the tides
Or are you seated out on the street
Waiting for your time to rise
I’m thinking of a better place where
No-one has to follow
This at all
Your big ambitions lead to
The biggest kind of fall
That is all
We’ll never give it up completely
Cos it’s plain to see
Ambition takes its toll
Over one and all
We’ll never give it up completely
Cos it’s plain to see
We all need a place to go
When we just don’t know
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
