about

Another old song that seems to keep coming back round

lyrics

Time and Place (1992)

I landed on an amoral shore
Where everybody’s working for a little bit more
The braided coats all look the same
And we still play the protein game.
Fear returns, comes back in a flash
To the place where all the icons smash
Cards on the table are out of style
… The eyes don’t smile.

Chorus
I’m flying high in the dawnlight now
Instead of blundering in the dark
And I can see for a thousand miles
… Time stands still.

The spell still binds upon the hill
Nostalgia with its bitter-sweet pill
With value systems in time once shared
We see each other running scared.
I will run faster, I have a place to hide
Canute gets swept away with the tide
I won’t tell ‘cos you won’t try.
… I justify.

Chorus
… Time to run

New heroes soon replace the old
Interchangeability in the same mould
And oblivion’s worth the price to pay
‘Cos there’s always plenty more to say
Burning bridges til it gets too hot
Altered images call the shots
Fear and respect go hand in hand
… I understand.
