Run Out
12 Jun 2008, Music for the Blind, track 13
a song about whether or not there are any new songs to be made or possibly on the theme or whether there are new stories/recipes to be made as well
-Finch Jr.
there are so many songs that have been written about things
song of love and hate and songs of peasants and of kings
songs of retribution, songs of protest, songs of war
and i am getting worried that they may not be much more
----
CHORUS
for surely there's a there's a limit to the songs that we can write
and surely there's already quite a few
and surely then at some point we are destined to run out
surely there is something we can do
----
and what about the other outputs; books and films and plays
recipes and birthday cards and scratchcard givaways
for they, as songs, must have an end from which they are not far
their potential must be limited as all such outputs are
----
CHORUS
