Off Peak Dreams

(album: Shedding Skin - 2015)

Basically, I have seen
Signs and wonders up in that caf
Mugs of teas and bacon sarnies
Run free, I'm feeling care-free and that
Hold it down, keep it calm
Whining kids will harden up
Maybe a couple quid in your palm
But we both know that ain't near enough
Look, life is tough, life ain't easy
Clutching handbags, grinding daily
It's gone crazy, someone save me
It's just me, my fish, my lady
Seeking happy
But instead I get mishaps that overlap
I'm just looking for a break or two with that

I don't know about you but I know me
Look mate, I said I'm ready to roll
I don't understand that but I know this
Look mate, I said I'm ready to roll
You think I'm getting confused but I see it clear
Look mate, I said I'm ready to roll
So pack your bags, let's go-o-o-o-o
Let's go-o-o-o-o

Yes indeed, and so it seems
You and I are meant for this flat
Broken lights just keep the mood right
We're alright, I'm feeling chilled out and that
Honestly, I'm kind of lost
No one knows what morning brings
Maybe a couple beers in your arm
But it's well-known it ain't near enough
Look life is hard, life is shifty
Stretching palms out, living nifty
Stressing daily, please believe me
It's just bills and tax and bailiffs
You can have it
But life's alright, I guess, if sweetened up
I just guess I'm seeking out of the up and up

I don't know about you but I know me
Look mate, I said I'm ready to roll
I don't understand that but I know this
Look mate, I said I'm ready to roll
You think I'm getting confused but I see it clear
Look mate, I said I'm ready to roll
So pack your bags, let's go-o-o-o-o
Let's go-o-o-o-o
