Description
I've been feeling better this week. So I'm sort of back to post this song.
It's sort of a typical John Cusack movie, told as a Mod Rock number.

Lyrics
Verse 1.
Caught in the middle of a dilemma
That leaves you wondering
about the meaning of life
…and love and death
Standing outside in the pouring rain
Looking into a crowded restaurant
Sometimes it looks like everybody
…else is having fun

Bridge:
Every time you try to change
And shed a skin and take a step
Be a lizard on the way to Nirvana
Every time you try to take off
like a bird freed from a cage
Take to the sky and seize the day with your claws

Chorus
Nobody’s looking now
Nobody gives a brass razoo
Nobody gives a stinking damn
Nobody gives a **** what you do
Nobody’s looking now
Nobody’s paying any attention
Nobody’s listening to your stupid song
Nobody cares about the way you feel

Verse 2.
Walking through the crowd on a busy day
Peak hour tension, with nowhere to go
Everybody’s got an office desk, a job to do
…except for you
The traffic mounts as the rush sets in
The faces become a river of frowns
You stand there wondering if you made
… some wrong turn in life

Bridge 2
Every time you try to change
Metamorphose like a butterfly
Break the cocoon and see the light
Every time you try to begin
Like a runner waiting on the blocks
The pistol rings next to your ear and deafens you

(Chorus)

Spoken:
There are things you hate about the things you love
Tiny details and dents and blemishes
It’s a little OCD to judge those things because
Perfection is like a death sentence
Why is it always me standing in the rain?
Why is it always me alone in the rain?
Why is it always me looking outside in?

Verse 3.
Walking by the empty beaches
Breathing in the salty winter breeze
Everybody’s happiness looks so pleasant
…And yet so far away
Gazing up into the empty sky
A seagull finds its way across
The distant roar of the waves tells me
…something is lost

Bridge:
Every time you try to change
And shed a skin and take a step
Be a lizard on the way to Nirvana
Every time you try to take off
like a bird freed from a cage
Take to the sky and seize the day with your claws

(Chorus)

I played in bands as a teen into my 20s. Then I went to Film School. Never stopped playing music through the years. Then, one day I found Sound Track in amongst my Final Cut Pro software and I started digitising and re-mastering old bits of recording... [see more]
