lyrics

I sometimes wonder if you could see me as I see myself
My experience of my life leaves me on the shelf
I don’t know what the time is (what’s the time?)
I don’t know where the sign is (where’s the sign?)
Suddenly I’m back in limbo dancing out of time

If you could take me by the hand
Stop drawing circles in the sand
If you could only show me
They won’t let me in

You wear chains but you’re not blinded. Go back into line
I hope you lose your ball and chain. I hope you lose your mind
I'll know on Monday morning, to call me up on Sunday
Tuesday I will take the ferry. Typically laidback

If you could take me by the hand
Stop drawing circles in the sand
If you could only show me
They won’t let me in

Where is Jerry? Have you seen him? Right outside the ground
You forgot to charge your glasses. Magic roundabout
It's on the way to Hampstead. I wonder if you'll find it
Used to work in bingo halls. We used to work so hard

If you could take me by the hand
Stop drawing circles in the sand
If you could only show me
They won’t let me in

about

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.
