Name: Spirit is a landfill
Duration: P00H05M06S
Description: I didn't really have this as a contender for the record but Ant and my Pa both fought it's corner. It's pretty bleak. Second verse shout out back to 'Sing It Out' for anyone who remembers that one. I was trying to do some old country song harmonies on the end section...channelling bad voodoo Hank Williams vibes...

lyrics

spirit is a landfill
full up with the people
dreaming of my friends all gone
kissing like I mean it
falling like I never
knew which way the day would come
so lay me down on pavements
wrapped up in a white cloth
bible talk for ever more
'cos I'm singing to your bad dreams
tracing maps on palm skin
making up a saviour's name

spirit is a landfill
full up with the people
dreaming of my friends all gone
the winner on a bad hand
the singer in the best band
I'm still the damage dreams can do
'cos no one is a prophet
and everyone's the same debt
we pay until the will runs dry

please don't forget me
remember me still, remember me quietly
please don't forget me
remember me still, remember me quietly

I was once a man who
tried to hold on to myself
