about

Another acoustic demo that I never got round to doing anything with. I think this one may date as far back as The Dandelions era, pre- Karma Truffle. These have to be the lyrics of a young and idealistic person, not the wizened old dog I am now.

lyrics

Free

Come with me around the world
Let’s see what we can find
There’s nothing left here for me
Want to leave it all behind

Cos I can’t stand every day
Tied to the same wheel
And I won’t live my life this way
Cos this is how I feel
It’s how I feel

I want to be free to be myself
I want to be free and no-one else
Is gonna stop me from being myself
I want to be free cos that’s the way I feel

Should we go South to find the sun
Or take a trip out West
Or maybe head out for the East
That way might be best

Cos I can’t stand every day
Tied to the same wheel
And I won’t live my life this way
Cos this is how I feel
It’s how I feel

I want to be free to be myself
I want to be free and no-one else
Is gonna stop me from being myself
I want to be free cos that’s the way I feel

That’s the way I feel
That’s the way I feel
I want to be free
Let me be free
