My last day on earth

V1 On my last day on earth I would want it to be good

I’d go and pick wild mushrooms from a secret wood

I’d swim in the pool of love yeah I’d drink from the fount of life

Then I’d get a coffee black for a caffeine rush

HALF CHORUS

Never thought I’d get old

Never thought that I’d get fat

I always thought I’d stay young

And turn the clock right back

V2 You didn’t want my love so I gave it all away

All the times I’ve asked you I don’t know how many times

All this playing in bands

Trying to crack the music industry workings but

One boy on his own

Just ain’t strong enough

FULL CHORUS

Never thought I’d get old

Never thought that I’d get fat

I always thought I’d stay young

And turn the clock right back

Never thought that I would hide from the sky

Never thought that you would leave me so blue

Never thought that we could fall apart again

INST

RPT HALF CHORUS

THEN FULL CHORUS

PLAY OUT

Never Again

Composition Notes: Words are about ageing of course! I once stopped off mid morning in an old cemetery and in the woods at the back were the most amazing mushrooms just growing themselves. Verse 2 is about my main relationship and life experience.

The music to this started off as the setting to my friend Pete Ev's words to the song "Hazy Sun". (He sends me his words and I set them to music then he sings the lead vocal to my backing track and sends me that). So in this case I had a different set of words of my own and "borrowed" my own music to set them. Different key, tempo and arrangement however as my voice is higher.
