A one off track meant for Follow Your Bliss but was somehow lost back in 2002, after an electronic melt down of stupidity. This version was a working copy that was lovingly restored, as cleanly as possible so that it could live somewhere. Thanks to David Bash and the International Pop Overthrow Music Festival yearly comp, it now happily resides in physical form, on IPO Vol 18. And now a part of Follow Your Bliss as well, which is where it should have been all along.
lyrics
Odds and ends
A living breathing cast off.
This rubbish heap
It looks to be exhausted.
I believe, you're neither here nor there
You believe, that I am somewhere else.
It's easy to see
You're no more sorry than me
Look around now you're free
And when your moment's over
You will be feeling no more
Than me.
That is that
This race has finally run it's course
We both win
No bitter end.
Up in the smoke
There's a shadow of a flame
The afterglow
Still clings to our remains.
We believe, we're neither here nor there
We believe, that we are somewhere else.
It's easy to see
You're no more sorry than me
Look around now you're free
And when your moment's over
You will be feeling no more
Than me.
