I am too, I said to Neil



London's fine, sunshine most of the time (ahem)
The feeling is laid back (ish)
Oak trees grow and the rents aren't low
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way aaagh

Well, I'm of Shires born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
London's fine, but it ain't home
Shires are home but it ain't mine no more

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a queen
And then became one
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the dream's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried but it won't let me go
And I'm not a girl who likes to swear (much)
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why

I am, I said
I am, I cried
I am...

(Neil featuring Stiggers.. Must say Neil, the guy who was you in Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show this Easter, really was you!! Unbelievable, how you materialised!! The rhythm and blues accompanying you, and me too! Wild!)
