We Did Alright

We Did Alright

we did alright
we made our escape
got over the wall
survived the fall
comes down with a crash
but our lives tailed out
so we never smashed
we did alright
we built a ship
and dreamed of space
i saw her hips
but left her face
and her cold lips
we did all we could
with the things we bought
and all we gave
we did alright
we got away
from the demons
that eat up your yesterdays


James Garratt – July 1995
