First verse and chorus came to me in the shower and I had to keep singing it over and over until I got out eh shower so that I would not forget it. I know how quickly these things can be lost to the ether forever! Quick single take of vocal and guitar at the same time so pretty rough as usual, but it is now captured :-). The change to 'stroll' in the second chorus was an accident when I recorded it, but I liked it so kept it in.
lyrics
It’s quarter past six
when you roll out of bed
there’s a gun to you head
start another day
go through the motion
without the emotion
like a ship on the ocean
cast away
Roll…………along
Sweetly
Roll…………along
True
You've been here before
and you’ll be here again
Cant get off of that train
Just repeating
strive for the top
but watch out for the chop
Fake it or not
Life is fleeting
