I met her in a bar when life was sweet She picked me up and swept me off my feet Now I've gotta keep running or I'll miss the beat I've gotta keep running or I'll miss the beat Repeat Tip me up you might trip me up Trip me up you might tip me up Don't rip me up Don't rip me up Repeat Repeat whole thing to here Now I feel like I'm running down a one way street Looking for unpleasantness to meet But I've gotta keep running or I'll miss the beat Gotta keep running or I'll miss that beat Repeat chorus

We walked with friends through open fields To gather at circles of stone which dawn revealed We partied all night and we laughed with good cheer And thanked the Gods that we'd survived one more year One more year {sung in rounds} <We walked with friends through open fields To gather at circles of stone which the dawn revealed> <We partied all night and laughed with good cheer And thanked the Gods that we'd survived one more year> <Others brought spirit guides to take us near To the place that we all fear> We walked with friends through open fields We left with friends, including new ones We walked with friends through open fields, To gather at circles of stone which the dawn revealed {rpt} We partied all night and laughed with good cheer And thanked the Gods that we'd survived one more year We walked with friends through open fields, To gather at circles of stone which the dawn revealed Some brought drums, some brought cheer Others brought spirit guides to take us near The place that we all fear Etc. Leaving no trace behind us

So Many Ways 02:40
lyrics
buy track
Walking barefoot peering through the haze Wondering what the world's about these days So much to do, bills to pay So many things, so many ways So many things, so many ways I don't want to crawl Backs against the wall Guess we're all in thrall To the one and all A flash of lightning can spark a change To lift you from these earthly sways So much ti learn, bills to pay So many things, so many ways So many things, so many ways I don't want to bawl Bout the state of all When we hit the squall Will we still be all Looking forwards To better ways Of organising ourselves these days Much to improve, bills to pay So many things, so many ways So many things, so many ways Crawl Thrall Breakdown Ball Backs against the wall Squall
