Walking the straw dog

from Pandemo by Richard Brown

about

Written/recorded and produced in Cot V2 studios.

lyrics

When you thought you knew yourself
When you got it figured out
When you thought you knew your place
And a question tears it down
Tear it down, tear it down
And start again

And a label don't help
And a label don't work
But it makes a little sense
And it's better than before
You're not alone, there's nothing wrong
You're not alone

Look across the room from behind your mask
As the drinks go down for the final act
You show yourself
But just one side
If no one knows
Then we'll survive
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Looking back across the years
You start to figure out
There's a pattern in the madness
There was method in your doubt
You see the colour
Of the lens
You viewed the world

When you found the right words
But you didn't even look
When you petted straw dogs
And the ego that it took
You robbed yourself
Of the dignity
Of your words

Look across the room from behind your mask
As the drinks go down for the final act
You show yourself
But just one side
If no one knows
Then we'll survive
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
