about

This is the second single from my upcoming Album 'Lost, Now Found'. A jolly up-beat number with Beach Boys-esque drum fills and backing vocals from Rosie Doonan.

lyrics

My mind's ablaze like a forest fire
I'm twitchy as a flickering light
Maybe it's time that I retired
To the cover of the night

For too often the fear of missing out
Is a fear I'd rather live without
Wasted years are drying inside out
But I've no doubt

I'm going to rise like a burning Phoenix
I'm going to blow like the Powder Plot
I'm going to blaze like a drunken Beatnik
Bleary-eyed, still hot to trot

I'm bored of playing these same songs over and
Sick fed up fo these three chords
Still I look for four-leaf clovers
In books written in child's scroll

I'm going to rise like a burning Phoenix
I'm going to blow like the Powder Plot
I'm going to blaze like a drunken Beatnik
Bleary-eyed, still hot to

Trotsky lingers in the working man's fingers
On your marks is merely a trigger
For bolshy people don't give up so easily
So reset your clay and mould

So all in all I've come to realise
There's an old soul in a baby's eyes
There's a twinkle in an ageing heart
Spark then flame to light the dark

I'm going to rise like a burning Phoenix
I'm going to blow like the Powder Plot
I'm going to blaze like a drunken Beatnik
Bleary-eyed, still hot to trot
