What are you listening to? [8]

- 'gotta say, there have some really great tracks popping up here, just lately.



- and some tremendously uplifting lyrics, as well - that Dave Mason track, for example..
- love that tired delivery of his, it has just the right amount of world-weariness..
- it hesitates at the very edge of becoming maudlin before pickin' up and then rollin' on..
- and there's a righteous resignation inherent in the deeply philosophical message he's delivering..

- definitely a class song, in every sense of the word..


- and the Grease Band was a really underrated group..
-


- sorry for the waffle..

Everyday there's someone asking
what is there to do?
Should I love or should I fight
is it all the same to you?
No I say I have the answer
proven to be true,
But if I were to share it with you,
you would stand to gain
and I to lose.
Oh I couldn't bear it
so I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

Every morning pressure forming
all around my eyes.
Ceilings crash, the walls collapse,
broken by the lies
that your misfortune brought upon us
and I won't disguise them.
So don't ask me will I explain
I won't even begin to tell you why.
No, just because I have a name
well I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

Climb a tower of freedom,
paint your own deceiving sign.
It's not my power
to criticize or to ask you to be blind
To your own pressing problem
and the hate you must unwind.
So ask of me no answer
there is none that I could give
you wouldn't find.
I went your way ten years ago
and I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

- he sure could write 'em..

- and so could this dude..
