Yet another tune which was arrived at fairly quickly. I'd just found this nice sounding run on the guitar based on D C G and it felt like the rest of the music just fell into place! When this happens you usually don't have to struggle over the lyrics, and they tend to suggest themselves to you. In this case even though I was totally skint (nothing new) I felt very optimistic as though my life was turning up something new, and a day or two after the lyrics were completed I felt quite content with my life (though still broke!) I hope this helps other people feel the same way.

Everyday I somehow seem to sell a piece of my soul,
And never ever get much by return,
I don't need to apologize to you my friend
I'm going to take you with me when it's time to run.

I never really had too much money to burn,
I couldn't afford a light when it got to my turn.

I need to lie upon a beach and bleach my bones until they burn,
And get away, so far away, but closer to the point of no return.

Everyday I somehow get much closer to my goal,
It makes me nervous, makes my heart beat fast,
I never realized I had travelled so far,
And never stopped to think how far I'd come at last.

Now everything just feels so good,
It gives me comfort like I knew it would,
And everything will turn out right-given time!
I need to lie upon a beach and bleach my bones until they burn,
And get away, so far away, but closer to the point of no return.

Now everything just feels so good,
It gives me comfort like I knew it would,
And everything will turn out right-given time!
Now everything just feels so good,
It gives me comfort like I knew it would,
And everything will turn out right-given time!
Now everything just feels so good,
It gives me comfort like I knew it would,
And everything will turn out right, in your world, in your life,
in good time!
