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
