about

Our drummer Rich is a fan of Wetherspoons pubs. They're brightly lit, quick, cheap and each one has a different carpet. They're usually so huge that it's not hard to find a seat. Was it for this that we left the promised land?

Meanwhile, we're getting closer every day. But closer to what?

lyrics

I remember where the flowers grew
I miss the garden where I first saw you
I remember where the cabin stood -
In the clearing of the ancient wood.

Before the fall there was an empty page
A can of beans and a living wage
I can recall when you shook my hand,
And said we had to leave the promised land

You and me
Always getting closer
You and me

I can’t forget the rainy afternoons
We spent together in the Wetherspoons.
The most alive that we had ever felt -
A Brexit bonus and a chicken melt.
How far will you go when you look for love?
You’re getting closer, every path you roam.
The soil below and the stars above
Close a circle and return you home

Red skies in the morning, meat pies in the evening
I’d paint a picture but I haven’t got the skill
No-one knows where it’s leading
And your hairline’s receding
We keep on living but it’s just more time to kill.

You and me
Always getting closer
You and me
We’re getting closer every day
