this is one for the over fifties
we strolled along
lost avenues
with no regrets
and nonchalance
who's kidding who
so confident
so bold and full

So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

sort of alice in wonderland or maybe you might read something else from it. that's up to you.
They've switched off all the lights
they're out to lunch
they've all gone to the party
they're having tea and scones

nice...that 'bird' thing is so subtle yet it makes the whole thing
you are a gentleman.
I like the vocals and the subtle ambient samples really set this
cool tune. great lyrics
I simply am in love with this song Jim!!!! LG
This remains my all time favorite from 'The Kite' .... LG
voice brings me to Bowie a bit...great space on these recordings...nice work
lol cheers
