about

From 'A Revolution In An Empty Room' 2013.

Modern life is a twisted mess of narcissism, paranoia, weakness, greed and the constant need for attention. I suppose this is a mid-life crisis song for a thinking man raised in the traditions of Punk.

lyrics

When there ain't no point in trying
Cos everything you do goes wrong
When all your old get up and go
Has got up and gone
When you're feeling like an also-ran
That never had a shout
And your hopes and dreams are cigarettes
That life keeps stubbing out

Keep on keeping on

When you've one foot in the past
And that's what stops you moving on
Like a School Reunion full of strangers
Dancing to that song
That no-one ever liked and never will
Still it's 'those were the days...'
It's time to burn the bridges down
The flames will light the way

Keep on keeping on

We wanted no more heroes
So we stripped em of their crowns
We put them on that pedestal
And then we pulled it down and now it's
Primetime Sellevision when they once
Were all the rage
The pink receding mohawk
Of Punk Rock in Middle Age

Keep on keeping on

To the freaks and to the misfits
To the wounded and the weak
To the locked out ones with answers
But who have no voice to speak
It's no use knocking on their door now
Cos they'll tell you 'Go To Hell!!"
Your Culture isn't culture
If your Culture doesn't sell

Keep on keeping on

So we're spoonfed paranoia
Til we hate and fear and blame
While the self-help guru's try to turn
Self-loathing into fame
And we analyse our lives through the lens
Of a mobile phone
And we wonder why with all them 'friends'
We still feel so alone

Keep on keeping on
