lyrics

pent up
penned in
squashed on a saturday

can't say you've missed this
but can't see another way

among that music
all your work lost in the noise
the dissonant anthem of the year
wrung from hard won toys you're...

hemmed in
frustrated
held back by another's fears

you've not trudged this slowly up whitehall for several years

among that music
all your work lost in the noise
the dissonant anthem of the year
wrung from hard won toys

and so much music
too many hits
too many waves
a dissident's whistle in your ear
sings of time you've saved away

there must be an easier way
i can't share my tricks
i had a voice
then lost my voice
something did not click
