Possibly the Dixon's most commercial track to-date, it is also the first song we ever did together as a band

Moments of driving guitar, moments of intricate rhythm, intelligent songs with a twist.
It's been a long time, but keep an eye open for 6 new tracks coming soon! And so, on with the blurb... Raised in the musical school of hard knocks that is the Newcastle upon Tyne “gig scene”, Columbus Dixon’s characteristic driving guitar sound works around an intricate, yet massive-sounding rhythm section. Musically, edgy and powerful, the songs are based on a strong, melodic approach. Lyrically insightful, fiercely independant, Columbus Dixon are an alternative to the current British fixation with mindless, shrink-wrapped, pre-packed, McPop cover merchants and whiney Nu-Angst pretenders. Live, Columbus Dixon are an intriguing and captivating experience, who pull no punches with a potent yet amiable presence. We don’t claim to be the saviours of the universe but we could save you from the Top 40. We make the music we like, and we do it well. We are a bunch of nice blokes, but we are good, though. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we are good. Is it sinking in? Good blokes, good music.

Story behind the song
Moss had got a new bird, so was feeling quite optimistic.
Lyrics
As I’m looking at my hands I crack a smile ‘Cause I’m dreaming that my grasp is getting wide I feel I’ve got life by the neck I’m wringing it for what I get Time for sit and wait is over; it’s time for movement And with No Pianos from above No trapdoors under my walk No more flies in my soup It’s time to face the truth It’s going well It’s going well There’s an upward sloping feeling taking me On a course that looks almost collision-free A stead gain of momentum A crawl evolves into a run A nagging anticipation of a corner And with No Pianos from above No trapdoors under my walk No more flies in my soup It’s time to face the truth It’s going well It’s going well And that scares me That scares me That scares me That scares me Will my locomotive derail at full steam? Is my yellow-brick road journey just naïve? ‘Cause I wasn’t born quite yesterday I know that things get in the way I’m just making my escape for the moment And with No Pianos from above No trapdoors under my walk No more flies in my soup It’s time to face the truth It’s going well It’s going well And that scares me That scares me That scares me That scares me.
