about

Words and music originally written by Newsome c. 1997

lyrics

Stolen fragments of happier times
I never know when not to lie
Sad in stupidity
And poor shit diplomacy
Little movements and little smiles
Youthful laughs and youthful trials
A tired body in a small room
If not today, if not at all

On fire!!
Like the moonlight
Too obvious to see
And one million miles from
The man now
The little man now
The man now
The fucking man now

Stroke

Thank God for the future
For I forget all my past
And can only hope
That collected in some foul sump
Are the better words and better deeds
Waiting to be retrieved
At a later date
Just like the song says, yeah ...

On fire!!
Like the moonlight
Too obvious to see
And one million miles from
The man now
The little man now
The man now
The fucking man now

Stroke
