THE BLUES THEY CALL TOMORROW

by David Heavenor

/

about

Originally two songs both incomplete but then I realised that they were composed around the same time and matched up in theme. The bizarre thing is that their respective chord patterns are interchangeable so they were obviously destined to be joined in perfect matrimony. Another song about the search for meaning behind all the sham.

lyrics

THE BLUES THEY CALL TOMORROW


Got those blues they call tomorrow
Got the sun shining far too long
Don’t call it pain, don’t call it sorrow
It’s all this naming that works out so wrong

For you fit your life together with slogans
Like the cogs in a clockwork machine
Then you wonder why all your feelings get broken
By these chimes that have tolled your unease

And high up there on a hillside
There’s a man with a light in his hands
And he hands it to you like a present
But you keep saying that you don’t understand

Here I stand in front of you
Breakdown, breakdown to break through
Strange days, false start
And a fortress for a hollow heart

So what do you do now you’ve gutted your life dreams?
What do you hear now you’ve clogged up your ears?
Can’t you see that your life is a stillbirth?
It is born, it is bare, it is here

And you say that you lost it in reason
But I think that you lost it in fear
There was a day when you spurned the exposure
When you turned from a smile to a sneer

And you’re caught in a rhythm of madness
You’re at one with your doom and your death
And you keep saying you’ve got this heartache to follow
Shut your mouth for you’re wasting your breath
