Spearmint - Tony Wright lyrics

Artist: Spearmint

album: News From Howhere


I put on the saddest music I can find
Only sad will do, the cheerful songs sound phoney now
Late afternoon I sit here and thoughts drift back
To all those years ago...
Tony said "Back thenwhat we were doing
Seemed so important but really it meant nothing"
I don't agree
The songs he sang mean everything to me
Wednesday nights we'd meet in the bar
And Tony Wright sang the songs that made me who I am
At least he had the grace to give it all up
While I carried on for years, dodged responsibilities
Hiding in the songs we sang, now the songs is all I am
And if the person you were then met the person you are now
What would they think of the things you've done
Of what you've become?
What did you do with your economics degree?
Ended up working in your dad's spring factory
Do you ever play those songs any more?
While a four-inch dinosaur runs around the kitchen floor
Now the sky is orange like the labels on my old Bowie albums
But the light is fading...
And I sit here, thoughts drift back to all those years ago
Wednesday nights we'd meet in the bar
Tony Wright sang the songs that made us who we are...
