So in a few days my latest band will be having its official first practice and in the last few weeks I've found I've really got my head into the style we're going for, both with my lyrics and basslines.
Anyway, this song is very fast-paced, very upbeat and is meant to sound a bit silly. It's basically trying to make calls about what life is like but is going back on itself and really sort of 'sitting on the fence' in terms of passing judgement. Hopefully that comes through clearly...
The Official Encyclopaedia of Everything
We're all the same we just live in different places
We share the fame across a thousand of these faces
You draw your name in, in a way to fill the spaces
You holy bowling ball, the pins to make the chases
You're slowly rolling down the lane so you can taste it
And now you're folding over pages to erase it
(Chorus)
You never brought me to the end
You brought me back where I begin
And now we cross the road again
We put aside our differences
And realise we can't be friends
And now I've lost my soul again
You never brought me to the final destination
I don't know why you had me wrapping up this case
A tiny island where the summer skies are deep blue
A shiny hiding place where judges never find you
You're trying to find these places you can never get to
A cigarette a friendly man decides he will lend
A silly debt that makes a rift between two best friends
It's safe to bet they'll be together when the year ends
I can't tell if you're doing this wrong
But you're sure as hell not doing it right
(Chorus)
We're all the same we just live in different places
We share the fame across a thousand of these faces
You draw your name in, in a way to fill the spaces
(Chorus x2)
We're all the same we just live in different places
