Strike Up the Band

The arc of happiness
What lies to be addressed?
The empty offices
The men and children leave their homes

No I understand
What makes man?
What makes a man?

If we are cynical
A veil upon the world
I know I shouldn’t be
So cold without a conscience

Eyes on the second hand
Strike up the band
Strike up the band

Well I find it hard to argue
I don’t sit around
Feeling down
Whatchoo thinking love?

When the hours all are over
There is hope again
Find a friend
Where’s the telephone>

If this melody should suffer
If I strike a simple chord
Kids on their shoulders
Children on shoulders
Sitting on shoulders
Cheering on shoulders

Reflections in the glass
It’s all so simple now
The aged troubadour
Must find an audience to cry

Now I understand

Strange Pop
Well i'm incredibly flattered to see they've picked ison-adelic as their genre..Altho my ego would like to belive otherwise,i'm guessing they havn't got a clue who i am at all n just picked it randomly..Its a strange lollopin' beast of a track in 6/8,interesting n moody with ace slow reverby ooooooo-wahhhhh backing vocals (I've also used them on I KNow A Good Thing)
