lyrics

Darren Black - vocals/guitar/vocal harmonies

Running away from the past
Cutting the ties made to last
Rushing to bind hopes and fears
Trying to roll back the years

Doing your worst for the cause not the birth
You'll find it patently was not your worth
To be true to the rules made for you

But to your mind it could work
All of the signs said it could
Sovereign and ministers agree
Why would they lie to you and me

Tireless in changing the minds of the few
Those who remain fast in what they must do
To be free of the creed made for thee

All we’ve wanted and all we needed’s for sale
Toe the water but keep a thought for tradition’s sake, so much at stake

Wallow in words set to thrill
A sugared and candied pill
And though your smile says it all
For your charms some still fall

Wit, style and fame draws the wolves to the pack
Higher they climb to the top of the stack
And look down, is the Pound still sound?
