about

In my younger days I used to spend hours out in the field near where we lived, contemplating the world and my place, or lack of in it. I always felt there was a 'Cruel Sir' in my head stopping me from being truly happy.

lyrics

I’m facing the ground
Under a beautiful sky
I’m fixed at my feet
In that moment, when miracles fly round my ears
And thinking too much
Under this beautiful sky
And faking too much
Won’t you rescue me

I’ve said all I want to say
Don’t drag me down
I’ve dressed up the truth for the fools
I’ve seen all I want to see
Don’t shout me down, Cruel Sir

I’m chasing the tide
Against the strength of the moon
And the unkindness of time
Will be stolen
If your default position is rain
No thanks all the same

I’ve said all I want to say
Don’t drag me down
I’ve dressed up the truth for the fools
I’ve seen all I want to see
Don’t shout me down, Cruel Sir

There's no mystery
I just want to go home

I’ve said all I want to say
Don’t drag me down
I’ve dressed up the truth for the fools
I’ve seen all I want to see
Don’t shout me down, Cruel Sir
