Drifting Drowning (Drifting through the years)

Everything Unrecognisable

Nothing is as you remember it

Where is it? What has become of it

Twisted like sheets for a getaway

No-one here no-one to share it with

No-one there nothing to build you up

Nuthin there [space]

No-one there [space]

[slower counter melody]

Take a rope take a sheet

Twist it up hang it out

[marching section]

We want to run

{falsetto}

We been Driftin through the years (driftin thru driftin thru all the years)

Nothing to show for it (nothing to nothing to show for it)

We Got a few things (things in the things in the mgarage here)

Never engaged our first gear (never got never got into gear

How many- times have I heard the news

Why do we – why do we never learn?

Britain is – out on a limb again

Fighting for who knows what in vain

7’s] we’re losing losing

Drifting drifting

Drowning drowning

losing losing

Drifting drifting

Drowning drowning

losing losing

Composition Notes

Lyrics sum up how I was feeling now into my 60s what it says on the tin really

Music the "sax" is played on the guitar synth Roland GR20. Some sections are in the irregular time signature 7/8 which gives it that lumpy feel
