about

London, 2006. Where the rich gets richer, and the poor gets poorer. And many of those poor ones are musicians, of course. As noble as it can be, people take music for granted and give more value to white collar jobs only because of their expensive clothes and powerful friends. Hoping in a new revolution, hopefully to be led by artists.

lyrics

I'm losing my mind, I'm walking around
I'm singing a song whose name I don't know
I'm crazy as you claim, I don't know my name
I can't see the light, I don't think aloud
I walk to the way you can't understand
I'm missing the goal, I'm killing my soul

I'm breaking the night, I'm feeling so right
I'm playing the blues, I'm writing the rules
I'm going outside, I'm having this ride
I'm breathing the dust, my head's full of rust
I'm having a tea in front of the sea
I'm killing my soul, I'm losing the ball [ends G]

But explain me, explain me, explain me the truth
Dear wandering friend with no shoes to bend
And show me, show me, show me her eyes
I'm actually blind with nothing to find
Forgive me, forgive me and give me a home
My guitar is broken, my heart is broken
The sidewalk, the station of South Kensington

I'm dreaming of you, I'm living so cruel
I'm taking a glass full of longing at last
I'm mad as myself, I'm the one you should hate
And I'm smelling fire, I'm living my fate
And you cannot know, you cannot hear
my lips hanging: I'm stuck on a plea

But explain me, explain me, explain me the truth
Dear wandering friend with no shoes to bend
And show me, show me, show me her eyes
I'm actually blind with nothing to find
Forgive me, forgive me and give me a home
My guitar is broken, my heart is broken
The pub, the station of South Kensington

But explain me, explain me, explain me the truth
Dear wandering friend with no shoes to bend
And show me, show me, show me her eyes
I'm actually blind with nothing to find
Forgive me, forgive me and give me a home
My guitar is broken, my heart is broken
The station, the station of South Kensington
