about

This project made me want to explore new song writing territory. Left to my own tendencies I tend to write jazz and folk songs. To write this I fed myself a diet of early Beatles for a week. My aim was to use a classic back beat feel plus the compulsory mid-song "oooooh!"

lyrics

Revolution in our time

Big bad city burning, falling down, we’ll start a revolution
Midnight pickett lines, counting down to a revolution
Always
Revolution in our time

I thought that love was all,
You needed to be happy
and to build a castle of contentment to the sky

And my pulse beat fast when you
Reached and touched my arm across the table
At a café rendevous

Struck dumb and out of breath an unexpected jolt a revolution
I endevoured to reply tongue was petrified a revolution
Always
Revolution in my mind

Innocent we talked ‘till dawn came
Knocking on tomorrow

There are certain time interests sparks and life becomes all absorbing
But though we try to pin our purity into a book a revolution
Happens
Revolution comes our way

We promised love would be
For ever and forever more
Until eternity

Though change is always certain
We knew some things can still remain the same
Despite the things that come our way

Big bad city burning, falling down, we’ll start a revolution
Midnight pickett lines, counting down to a revolution
Always
Revolution in our time
Though things change
Always
Revolution in our time!
