The Ballad of the Two Minute Song

from Only The Sad Songs by Chris Webb

/

about

a song about the parties drying up but the party (of life, hmm) continues. The title is just alluding to the deliberate effort I took to make this song under 2 minutes long.

lyrics

One for the road we said, one more to go
The party's not over till one of us is old
One more for luck we said, just one beer
The party's still dancing but none of us are here

The past as we see it is a present to be wrapped
And opened in naivety as if it were the last

One for the road we said, one more to go
The lights are slowly dimming and there's a few of us around
Knock down the doors, friends, we leave by the moon
The party's not over but there's a quiet in the room

The past as we see it is a present to be wrapped
And opened in naivety as if it were the last

The past as we see it is a present to be wrapped
And opened in naivety as if it were the last
