lyrics

Why do you stand in the corner?
You're facing the corner of the room
Why don't you stand in the middle?
Why don't you gaze up to the moon?
Why do you hide yourself from all that's going on?
When will you realise that nothing's gonna change without you?

So just what are you scared of?
Don't you think it's time to take a stand?
Are you scared of them laughing?
You hold all the aces in your hand
Why do you always think that life has been unkind?
Why don't you turn the corner, see what you can find?
I know there's others just like you
If we all stand together, wait and see, there's lots that we can do

If there's something on your mind
Why don't you try to talk things out?
You'll find plenty who'll listen
You'll find there's plenty more who'll shout
But in the end you'll find there's nothing left to fear
And then you'll realise that you have got the key to change things

Look out on the horizon
Can't you see the new sunrise?
There's a ship in the distance
And there's a shadow of surprise
Yes you will find that you can change things if you try
You'll find there's more to life, much more before you die
I know there's others just like you
If we all stand together, wait and see, there's lots that we can do

When you look down the hallway
You see a face behind the door
But you can't make out a person
You find your feet stuck to the floor
If you can find the strength to open up the door
When will you realise the sun is shining, shining on you?

If you walk in the garden
You'll find the grass is pale and green
Take a look at the flowers
There's just so many never seen
The air is fresher than you ever thought before
Breathe in the air, breathe out, and then breathe in some more
I know there's others just like you
If we all stand together, wait and see, there's lots that we can do

See the stars in the heavens
A myriad of silvery-blue
We could travel for light-years
Blah blah blah blah nothing for you
We'll take a shooting star and fly to Zeldon 1
And when we get there we can live among the stars together

about

Braxton Hicks image

Braxton Hicks London, UK

Brothers Ken and Andy McHaffie wrote and recorded all these songs. We usually recorded 2 to 3 songs per day over a period of months and years, mainly under the influence of strong cider.

Some are funny, some less so, but we put our all into it.

Very much DIY, all recorded on 4-track, and extremely variable sound quality. ... more
