lyrics

This is the place we used to play
But it's changed quite a bit around here now
Just across the way
We hid and sought
And dreamt about tomorrow
You cannot get there from here now
Because there are roads and houses
You cannot get there from here now
Because we've lost those childhood ways

We're cutting, dragging down the progress ladder
Money walks and bullshit talks
It's all we hear when we're out working
It's all we see everywhere we look
You cannot get there from this direction
You have to take the long way round
The walls we put up just hold us in
We're not strong enough to pull them down

We try to drag ourselves up by the rope
That dangles forever out of reach
Live our lives so fast it blinds us
So we don't expect the things we see
You cannot get there from here now
Although there's nothing stopping you
We didn't burn all of our bridges down
Only the important few

So don't tell me that it's gone
Surely it's only changed
The need with which we live out dreams by
Got left abandoned on the way
Just because we work so hard for
The things we feel that we should be
Is no reason for us to stop
And build the walls so high

We build perimeters around ourselves
So that no one can get through
Listen to those who care for nothing
Emulating the things they do
But you can still get there from here
Should never have tried to leave it behind
It was always there with us
Was just a little hard to find

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."
