Walking Man
Wake up in an icebox
Every clock in the house blinks you're out of luck
All your magical boxes
Are cold to the touch and won't wake up
Chorus:
Now you're waiting for the walking man
But I don't think he understands
He's doing just what he can
On the other side...
Curse at the shower
Swear at the plastic and the glass
Jump in your new car
Everything on the dash just starts to flash
Now you're waiting for the walking man...
Middle 8:
Time goes by so slowly
Knows you're in a manic rush
Time goes by so quickly
Feels your deadlines welling up...
Now you're waiting for the walking man...
Stab at the buttons
Want to reach inside and show who's boss
Eyeball to eyeball
You can stare all you want he won't let you cross
Now you're waiting for the walking man....
Unknown Track
Unknown track, Unknown artist,
No one beating at your door
Unknown track, Unknown artist
A silhouette and nothing more.
Pour your heart out, pour your heart out on the floor
Tears are streaming, tears are streaming through the walls
You're the apple of someone's eye.
Unknown track, Unknown artist
Another song no one will hear
Unknown track, Unknown artist
All the gear and some ideas.
Pour your heart out...
The waves they pass right through you
But they never leave a scar
Your skin is alabaster
But your fingertips are hard.
Unknown track, Unknown artist,
No one beating at your door
Unknown track, Unknown artist
A silhouette and nothing more
Pour your heart out...
Was that my go, was that my party
Wish I'd known it at the time
I'd try harder to be better, ignore all the warning signs
Unknown track, Unknown artist,
Unknown track, Unknown artist,
There's someone beating at your door
Golden Snowflake
I don't want to take a lifetime
to get where I wasn't meant to be
You lot always had it easy
A golden ticket and a mystery
chorus:
You keep on about your Beatles and your Stones
Is that your music or your troubles and the pills you're on?
You can roll your eyes and reminisce all you want
You try living for a future that's already gone.
You were baby, baby boomers
Now you're just a ticking bomb.
You can label me a snowflake
But I'm melting from the things you've done.
You keep on about...
We are living in a spotlight
and we hide among our emojis
Your idea of a youthquake
Is double denim and a new LP
You keep on about......
Last Thing on TV
They made you a promise and you believed them
A glittering palace of Leisure and chrome
Now you are older, you see right through it
But you cling to the side afraid to let go.
And it's all the same
When the sun goes down
It's all the same
When the lights go out
chorus:
You're watching the last thing on TV
Hoping the dot won't fade into that infinity
Watching the last thing on TV
Hoping the dot won't fade into that infinity
You chose a path and followed the breadcrumbs
Food for the body if not for the soul
You look around and you know the landscape
Spinning in circles to find your way home
And it's all the same
When the sun goes down
It's all the same
When the lights go out
chorus:
You're watching the last thing on TV...
Middle 8:
When did we get so old....
