pennine dream

from a northern perspective by michael webster

/

lyrics

they came crawling in from the mountainside
I guess it were inevitable that there’d be no place left to hide
and I thought I saw them marching down that car pavement
discussing achievement and the proper way to be present

but it ain’t like that man
when you know you don’t know jack

so what did you need me to be?
I sunder myself upon solidarity
and the rabble quickly formed into riot
incited by the divide that were caused by all of the lying

well I am the sum of what each of my qualities deem me to be
been trying to play it cool but anxiety runs all around my bloodstream
keep trying to play it cool, oh, does it even matter entirely
I floated in, like an epidemic disease

ain’t no use in trying
when you look back at the history of it all, the victors were always the tyrants
and then Socrates he walks in and he’s just begging the question
should a man be honoured on his moral achievements or his subtle intentions?

well ain’t it such a shame my friend
that every act of hatred is also one of intent?

well then the county commissioner he comes by and he says
you know, boys, it ain’t too hard to live within the law
but we all get bored, so bored
so underwhelmed by the vision for us all

well I am the sum of what each of my qualities deem me to be
keep trying to play it cool but anxiety runs all around my bloodstream
keep trying to play it cool, oh, does it even matter entirely
I floated in, like an epidemic disease
I floated in, like an epidemic disease
