Visited my friend in germany, who is a singer. One night in her kitchen over bottles of beer, after listening to me moaning about how I hadn't been able to write a song for ages, she 'forced' me to write a song! This (after a few changes) is it.
Lyrics
Under the bridge there's been too much water
You turned away like blood from a stone
So now, undercover of darkness,
Close all the doors and drive me home
Racing like a car we jumped the lights
We drove too fast to see the sights
Smoking and booze in the garden
We call up our friends and give them the word
We were the magic against the darkness
Switch off the engine - drive me home
Drive me home
Don't make me walk all alone
Drive me home
Don't make me walk on my own
Drive me home
I knew you were bored - I'd seen it in your face
Those little somethings speak for themselves
Taken in context or in isolation.
It's no consolation.
