Story behind the song
This is about a man falling from the top to the very bottom due to alcohol and regrets.
Lyrics
The Why, The When & The How (D Sinclair / C Matthews) V1 Too long ago, I gave up my rights to more than passing pleasure Got down in the dirt, dug deep in the mire hoping to find buried treasure But all I found down there, in the muck and the stench Was another swig and an unclaimed bench V2 I vaguely remember when I was a man noted in high society I'd thrown in the towel and broken some hearts determined to savour variety For a while I enjoyed the excesses of life When a bottle became my brand new wife An improvement. That seemed to be clear Year after drunken year Why did it all go wrong? Where have the pieces gone? When did I lose myself? How can I find some help? Why am I standing here? Drowning in bitter tears Lord won’t someone tell me now… The Why the When and the How Solo V3 Now I’m invisible nobody see’s See’s past my degradation Bearing my life on shoulders that sag I’m dragged down by privation I lost hold long ago, of what mattered the most My father and son and the holy ghost Many voices I wished I could hear Year after drunken year Why did it all go wrong? Where have the pieces gone? When did I lose myself? How can I find some help? Why am I standing here? Drowning in bitter tears Lord won’t someone tell me now… The Why the When and the How © Copyright Dawn Sinclair & Craig Matthews 2009
