lyrics

Today we loved a daydream, wrapped in blankets tight sleeping through a smoke alarm; mine would feel the fright.
Like a fox in rain, staring at headlights, creeps into the dark
She'd bury her head on my shoulder and light my inner spark

But we were reaching out like fairy lights
The carnival's in town
Projecting lives into the future
Then burn the whole thing down like a fairytale wolf
We let it go, we always held the cards
We dared to dream and risked esteem to see it fall apart

But we were reaching out like fairy lights
The carnival's in town
Projecting lives into the future
Then burn the whole thing down like a fairytale wolf
We let it go, we always held the cards
We dared to dream and risked esteem to see it fall apart

Today I loved a daydream wrapped in blankets tight.
We say we could just go for it but we know we'd just change our minds

So our hearts reach out and take away
It's the best thing we can do
You always said you were a lyrics girl
So I guess these are for you

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!

Great album. Almost a blend of Old Style and New Style Gaz. Delighted to have seen him perform two of the tracks live at Glastonbury. His performance was better than ever, and the songs are right up there with his best. matsan66
