lyrics

Embittered unsociable stubborn curmudgeon
Got a phone, but it don't seem to function
I'm starting to doubt your motives too
Were you in love with me or just the things I do?
Did you ever wonder with your head in the dirt
Why you never add up to all you observe
When no matter how bright, no matter how dark, it looks the same

The same mistakes in the future, same mistakes in the past
Same mistakes that we always made
It seems we always made the same mistakes

Nay-saying red-seeing, blind to the page
You skip half the sentences but spurt all of the rage
Fear may stalk your pathway in the arsenic light
False widows accuse you of disturbing their night
Do you ever wonder what you drag from the depths?
When you ratchet the rumours, turn up the threats
Because no matter how warm, no matter how cold, it tastes the same

The same mistakes in the future,same mistakes in the past
Same mistakes that we always make
Must we always make the same mistakes

Copper slugs in the morning, silver trails at night
Will I dare to complain when you don’t treat me right?
Leave the washing on the line this rain may stop someday
You'll know what's been done and the price that you'll pay
Always to bury the good in the depths of the ground
Sowing secondhand fury to scatter around
Because no matter how old, no matter how old, we'll be the same

The same mistakes in the future, same mistakes in the past
Same mistakes we will always make
Doomed to always make the same mistakes

about

Julian Gaskell UK

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
