| THIS DAY WOULD COME (MUSCUTT) You knew there was a danger I would see you again but now the nightmare has passed I knew I was doomed to never hearing from you again until you walked into the room But what I did so long ago has been forgotten the danger has been and gone and now we can carry on And I�ve been waiting for this day to come and I knew someone would come for me To allow me to forget you and get over you stood at the bar with her hand in yours the ghosts have been laid to rest I�ll never keep things close to my chest the way I did with you But if it ever fades away you know exactly what you should do And I�ve been waiting for this day to come and I knew someone would come for me To allow me to forget you and get over you I was infatuated with this girl but never actually got round to asking her out because I was never around her, and in the end I sort of got over her by spending time with her at this pub. This is what this song is about really, but it was kind of weird because I was really into her before then. When I actually took time to chat with her and have a few drinks, I realised I should treat her as a friend and stop lusting about going out with her. Odd. HARBOUR (MUSCUTT) Sitting under pale moonlight memories come alive again I remember this place from years ago holidays in the sun now it seems so wrong In the dark on the harbour watching boats pull into shore And when I�m down I come here well I used to but not anymore Walking on the dock in the moonlight feels so right but now it feels so wrong Climbing over rocks on the beach we passed the time that was in reach Now it�s changed for worse all I can think of is how it used to be But it�ll remain that way to me In the dark on the harbour watching boats pull into shore And when I�m down I come here well I used to but not anymore I used to go to a place in Cornwall called Porthlevin ages ago, like when I was younger. My dad was mates with a guy who owned a hotel there, and I liked going there, as you do. Then I went back one time when I was older and it wasn�t any different, it was still a nice place, but I had lost the feeling of excitement I got when I knew we were going there. I guess that�s growing up. It�s like Christmas when you start getting to around eighteen � it loses it�s magic. |
| CONSIDERING SUICIDE (MUSCUTT) It�s dark now and I slipped out about an hour ago to the wall by the sea Nobody here but me and the moon shining down on the town The water looks so inviting oh I do like to be beside the seaside considering suicide My girlfriend is gone and my friends all moved away now my parents say they�ve had enough today Some people they tried to help me but their helping hands pushed me further away They said I was unreceptive beyond their help but they never heard my cry And now I only want to die in peace the night is cold and the wind is loud as I stand looking out to sea And I turned to see a light in the window looking at me I can�t see who it is there�s tears in my eyes And I turned back round with my eyes to the sky as I think about the note in the hall I look over the edge of this tall sea wall consider my choices once more I don�t really have any choices left at all The only thing left for me to do is fall There�s this other song I wrote called �The World And His Dog Hates Me� or something, which as I mentioned in this guide, I absolutely abhor because it�s written in such a whinging, moaning way. This song is similar in tone, but I think it�s written a lot better. I liked the bit where I used the �oh I do like to be beside the seaside� bit, a cheery song, and then following it up with �considering suicide� � a bleak and depressing image. BROKEN REALITY (MUSCUTT) And all the people can see through me and I can see is transparency But I don�t care much for modernity its all a piece of broken down reality Well, this has to be the shortest song I�ve ever done, there are one or two others that are pretty short as well. I think these lyrics just came to me as I was writing them down � I was writing an email to Simon I think at the time, and said �I just wanted to write a really simple song, with only a few lines. I put this couplet thing down as an example and thought �hmm, it works pretty well�. I guess it could be expanded but I think it�s good as it is. PRESENCE (MUSCUTT) I�m still here after all these years and you thought I was gone for good Well too bad I�m back to haunt you as you can tell by my face in the window You hear my voice you say my name although you deny it you�re going insane You know you couldn�t last long without me well now I�m back so why so sad The months and years rolled by and there�s not a day I didn�t think about you The presence is more when I�m with you but now that feelings� gone for good I�m still here after all those years and look at what I�ve brought along with me It�s a picture of our initials in a tree do you remember I didn�t think you would Well I burnt it down now it�s just a stump of wood As the months and years rolled by there wasn�t a minute I didn�t try To find you and get you back forever now we�re together we�ll stay that way Until we die not now or then or ever the presence is strong well it used to be but time wasn�t on our side People never had no time for us I don�t really care much for this song, it�s not that good. It�s basically about an ex-partner coming back into someone�s life�which is nice. |
