Or So The Story Goes
March 21, 2013 2:11 PM
In more ways than one, the flipside of "In A Heartbeat". and an example of Reggie - the pallid suburban knock-kneed whiteboy version of Reggae....
Or So The Story Goes
daddy told me
it’s a lottery
that’s how the story goes
time and tide
hopes and dreams
just skip and skate away
I been looking so long
no-one came along
it seems too late now
love is spiritual
physical
or so the story goes
call me cynical
I think it’s mythical
and that’s how the story goes
all my heart lives inside a song that no-one hears
but that’s my fault
rejection is my defining fear
(go figure)
when I was young I would sing songs of hope.
love is poetry
ecstacy
or so the story goes
well that’s as maybe
so far as I can see
that’s how the story goes
love is sweetness
kindness
or so the story goes
love is bitterness
and a lot of stress
that’s how the story goes.

good vibes - happy feel to this with a little Elvis Costello and The Specials influence it seems :)
