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 the time you've saved away

there must be
an easier way
i can't share
my tricks

i had a voice
then lost a voice
something didn't click
