lyrics

Got off the bus
Walked round the corner
We nearly walked
Right smack bang into each other
Every part of my body said
Pretend you don't recognise
The ghost from the past
Standing in front of me

We go to a café and sit by the window
Observing the street charade
The world through glass
Talked of our history
From the start to the present day
Wondered how it all
Seemed to just fall apart

Of the things we've done
And the places we're going
Of the desire that this distance
Should not happen again
We saw our aging faces in the sun
Squinting sideways
Reflections like phantoms
On the pavement parade

Now that I'm back home
I've time to reflect
On today and the time
That flew by like a jet
It feels like only yesterday
Though I know years have slid away
If I hadn't gone out today
We'd never have met

What if the bus had just arrived
A moment later
Would I have recognised your back
As you proceeded up the road?
I might have felt peculiar
I might have felt your presence
But that we'd nearly collided
I would never have known

I've walked with people who have run in the opposite direction
Ducked down an alley of fear of having nothing to say

Make a promise to myself
I'll never walk by again
And wonder if it really was
Who I thought it might be
Too many times been too shy
But in retrospect
Just been a player
In the pavement parade
We are all players
In the pavement parade
Everybody take your places
In the pavement parade

about

Wob UK

Acoustic Country/folk Punk probably describes me best at the moment

"A spring heeled, iron lunged avalanche of energy and melody.
Wob's sound is a glorious and intelligent blend of punk, pop and folk."
