lyrics

READ IT AGAIN
Written by Ian M. Bruce, Victor Besch and Katharina Bramkamp

Life on the other planets we choose
See what rewards bad timing might lose
Sun through the trees show translucent dews
To its horizon it sails

Pay heed to the drums. Rhythms sustain!
A pattern arises from shadow and flame.
Step to the platform, jump from the train
To shores unknown - found before.

There (are) no teetotallers where I would go
Out of thin air come words we don’t know.
The roots and branches covered in snow
It all makes sense after all.

After all there are stories we all love to tell
Of roses and thistle - thorns as well.
Between the lines twixt heaven and hell
Herring and tatties and beans.

Chorus

Read it, read it, read it again
Until you find meaning, read it again
Soul in the spaces, gaps say it all
When wo-o-o-o-ords
Sa-a-a-a-ay
- Nothing at all

The Canon
1. Waking up waking up, standing up - tea in a cup
sup sup, sup. Lochanside down

2. On a carousel - Witch’s hat as well.
Dizzy, dizzy spell see-saw, see-saw.

3. One two three four five six seven
I think I’ve died and gone to heaven -
Way up high.
