Recorded live with one microphone. It's a rock song, but I didn't have a band to hand. The bridge upends some lyrics from an older song. 'Fine' and 'alright' is a rhyme that kept cropping up around this time. It's so fantastically dull, even in the way it doesn't quite rhyme but doesn't really offend the ear, but it obviously said something I needed to say.
lyrics
Waste your time on me.
Waste your time on me and then:
Waste your love on me -
Waste your love on me again.
We were running out of time
When I said that we'd be fine.
We were running out of space
But I said we'd be alright.
It's a wide old world.
Waste your love me.
Waste your love and me and then:
Waste some more on me -
Waste it all on me again.
We were running out of time
When I said that we'd be fine.
We were running out of space
But I said we'd be alright.
It's a wide old world.
And this,
Well it had a strange old start.
And now,
Well is now the hardest part?
We were running out of time
When I said that we'd be fine.
We were running out of space
But I said we'd be alright.
It's a wide old world.
