lyrics

Respected

You can't just expect respect straight off It takes a bit more time
To build up the debt of bluster and threat That's paid back in kind

When you put the work in
The rewards don't all arrive at once
And then like the buses more than one turns up
And you get back on the top deck
And back in your step
And back on the front foot
And back on the right track
Without worrying about your hits

Posting all your feelings and dreaming up the meanings
Can be quiet or it can be loud
But bringing toil to the soil of an overburdened soul
Can stand the shed in good stead

There's got to be a work rate with all your work mate
And the work means all of these things
Like checking the shape and the context and pace
And whether it makes any sense
Like checking all the facts and keeping your contract
And catching before you fall.

Keep on reading And Keep on writing
And Keep on signing And Keep on trying
Keep on reading And Keep on writing
And Keep on signing it on

Drowning in a flood made deeper by tweets
Like a bird floundering in the sky
Unable to open its wings and fly
Struggling in a tarmac glaze of despondency
This is a commuter town in the rain
And the last stop is spinning round again
Round again, round again, round again
Yeah it's spinning round again.

Respected. Is this what you expected
Laughter from the masses
And scripture from the cloud
This is not what you were prescribed
The diagnosis is blind. ….... blind.
