lyrics

The thing about roads is they all have an end
Some reach the horizon but always subtend
Bisected by battling the one that you love
It's not always war but it is always tough.

For six hundred days or more walk hand in hand
Spin out of a future you hadn't yet planned
And land in a heap that's where you always land
Laughing and kissing and joking around

And I know I'm at a fork in the road
The fear of the fact that I don't even know
And if I could just change it up, rearrange it all
Throw it back at you and do it again
I'd know what I wanted, I know what I've got

But I can see the last one drifting off

I'd edit the world and just heave it away
I'm not frightened by discourse made timid by change
But fuck she's so beautiful and this is so strange
I can't make decisions when vision's abstained

I'd give you my all and that's all we could be
But that's not enough quite yet evidently
We'd land in a heap: that's where we'd always be.
Laughing and kissing and joking

And I know I'm at a fork in the road
The fear of the fact that I don't even know
And if I could just change it up, rearrange it all
Throw it back at you and do it again
I'd know what I wanted, I know what I've got

But I can see the last one drifting off.

Purgatory, it's still hell to me.
They call it limbo, but what do they know?
Purgatory, it's still hell to me...

But I can see the last one drifting off.

Found making a big noise in every pub from North Yorkshire to Suffolk, he blends the rough and ready aesthetic of the old blues with the heart of the modern troubadour.
