about

started scribbling this one forlorn autumn afternoon watching some band play live in a local club. what came to mind was a kind of casablanca scenario, a lonely man drunk and maudlin running from his past, trapped in an empty, echoing present.

lyrics

in search of lost time

if you went in search of lost time
what would you find
if you went in search of that lost time
what would you find

the wind is stirring the leaves
heads are passing over the wall
the doorman’s nodding
and the barman’s prodding him
and you’re waiting for the end of it all

looks like tonight time’s going nowhere
cause there’s nowhere else to fall
the band is swinging like a chandelier
on its way to crash with the wall
and you’re waiting for the end of it all

if you went in search of lost time
what would you find
if you went in search of that lost time
what would you find

the singer adds variety howling at the moon
i’m hanging onto sobriety while he tries to croon
it’s only 10 o’clock and it’s all happening too soon
and i’m walking like a badly drawn cartoon

nothing to be afraid of but stumbling on your fear
but there’s a voice that’s whispering close to my ear
it’s best to let the past lie
cause the truth is too hard to hear
and the truth is too hard to hear

toujours la fuite en avant
parce que le temps ça va trop lentement
toujours la fuite en avant
parce que le temps ça va trop lent

if i focus hard on the lead guitar’s hands
and lay back into this out-of-time band
i won’t have to go in search of lost time
i won’t have to find what i could find

if i just had a mind
to call up the ghosts close behind
if i just had a mind
to call up the ghosts close behind
