about
This song is Matt's baby. He sang it to the band and we worked out the music based on the vocals. (David Robson)
lyrics
Reverse the polarity
The sanctity of carriage and horse
Kicking the heads off frangipannies
I'm centrifugal, a repellent force
And there's more than than a grain of truth
To all the things you say
Like the sands of time
I'm always running away
Where do I go when I don't want to be
Out of my mind will I ever be free
From the hounds of hate inside of me
Your love is true but I'm kamikaze
I don't want to be me
Reverse the polarity
The sanctity of carriage and horse
Please don't waste your precious breath
Your suffering is my remorse
I live only for tomorrow
So what's the future for
There's no escape from today
I'm still all the things that I deplore
Punched in the solar plexus
I've got nothing more to say
On my knees surrendering wondering why
Why I've gone astray
Mirror mirror is it fait accomplice
I don't want to be
I don't want to be me
And with severence of silver
I'm Saturn - without my rings
So far away
So far away
The sanctity of carriage and horse
Kicking the heads off frangipannies
I'm centrifugal, a repellent force
And there's more than than a grain of truth
To all the things you say
Like the sands of time
I'm always running away
Where do I go when I don't want to be
Out of my mind will I ever be free
From the hounds of hate inside of me
Your love is true but I'm kamikaze
I don't want to be me
Reverse the polarity
The sanctity of carriage and horse
Please don't waste your precious breath
Your suffering is my remorse
I live only for tomorrow
So what's the future for
There's no escape from today
I'm still all the things that I deplore
Punched in the solar plexus
I've got nothing more to say
On my knees surrendering wondering why
Why I've gone astray
Mirror mirror is it fait accomplice
I don't want to be
I don't want to be me
And with severence of silver
I'm Saturn - without my rings
So far away
So far away
