I'm a standin' on a rock, standin' on a rock
And I don't mind the moss that's a settlin' on my mind
I'm a standin' on a rock, yeah standin' on a rock
I got time enough, I got a deeper mental place to find
I'm a standin' on a rock, standin' on a rock
I won't be smoothed by white waters, broken by tree roots
I'm a standing on a rock, standing on a rock
Well, I got time enough, I got nothing left to lose
Well, a stopped clock tells the right time
Er, pretty much twice a day
And if I stand here long enough maybe the tide will bring you back
The one that stole your love away
I'm an out of time fool, upright in a crooked world
And I'm standin' on a rock, I'm just standin' on a rock for you
I'm a climbin' up a tree, climbin' up a tree
I don't need no soul in this world for company
I'm a climbin' up a tree, climbin' up a tree
I get a feeling that I'm waitin' for you more than you're waitin' for me
Well, a stopped clock tells the right time
Pretty much twice a day
And if I stand here long enough maybe the tide will bring you back
The one that stole your love away
I'm an out of time fool, stood upright in a crooked world
And I'm standin' on a rock, I'm just standin' on a rock for you
I'm a rollin' down a hill, rollin' down a hill
I'm coiled up like a spring and I'm burning on every fuse
I'm a rollin' down a hill, I'm a rollin' down a hill
Man, I got to pick up some speed, I got troubles that I just can't lose
Well, a stopped clock tells the right time
Pretty much twice a day
And if I stood here long enough maybe the tide will bring you back
The one that stole your love away
I'm an out of time fool, upright in a crooked world
And I'm standin' on a rock, I'm just standin' on a rock for you
In the wind and the rain, in the wind and the rain
Well I'm taking on the world just to numb me from the pain
In the wind and the rain, in the wind and the rain
I'll stay out in the world until I'm welcome back in here again
Well, a stopped clock tells the right time
Pretty much twice a day
And if I stood here long enough maybe the tide will bring you back
The one that stole your love away
I'm an out of time fool, stood upright in the crooked world
And I'm standing on a rock, I'm just standin on a rock
I'm standing on a rock, I'm just standin on a rock
I'm standing on a rock, I'm just standin on a rock for you

Described by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, Julian Gaskell’s music over the
last 20 years has followed a wayward path of withering agricultural-folk, klezmer accordion, overly-lyrical punk, gypsy-jazz guitar, tangos, waltzes, rhumbas and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano....more
