lyrics

My friends and I loiter on the pavement
Speaking in native tongues
And clutching empty bottles
A gang of four, we live our teenage lament
Hoping to find some meaning
But in this wasted domain we're dreaming

You can't control the outcome, but you can plot the course
It's only the pessimist in you that's making these matters worse
So go and lose control, speak and bare your soul
Fight until the bitter end

We'll dance as long as the music plays
Then stumble home down Broadway
Nurse our hangovers and do it all again

The hands of time, turn faster than you realise
We went our separate ways
To find our own direction
But it's not over
For as long as we're breathing
We'll always have the music
And the memories we made

You can't decide the destination, so you may as well enjoy the ride
Awaken the optimist in you and have a sense of pride

Then go and lose control, speak and bare your soul
Fight until the bitter end

We'll dance as long as the music plays
Then stumble home down Broadway
Nurse our hangovers and do it all again

Go and lose control, speak and bare your soul
Fight until the bitter end

We'll dance as long as the music plays
Then stumble home down Broadway
I've said my piece now, go on, have your say

What you waiting for?

The Pocket Symphony Orchestra UK

Barry and Darren met in the summer of '99, discovering their mutual love of music and have been friends ever since. They started a band, which lasted six years before an indefinite hiatus was called. They both began other projects but, when all of those folded, came together in 2012 to write and record again. This gradually developed into The Pocket Symphony Orchestra. ... more
