'Ere we go Beal mate, hats off to you my friend.

Here's the lyrics for a tune called Fading Away that I wrote when mashed and depressed whilst at Leeds Uni.

Once again I'm left sat alone, watching a blank screen, my mind drifts
The cracks seen in the passion of a tight grip
Dreams of a life living under the rule of righteous
The dominant ideology filters into the mind to blind us
I find a sign of divine misdirection
Residing in the depths of denial and perception
Fight this! Your life longs for attention
Time is, the only thing we truly spend
So, I'm trying to focus and follow my dreams
Sewing seeds that'll grow so tomorrow can breathe
The wind blows, self-beleif broken
I never shoulda smoked in the name of release I see so many
People devoted to seeking their own freedom
Decieved in a game the elite control
This aint freedom, we had a choice but conceded
To the voice of convenience comformity and leaders
Exploiting the fear they install in us
So we boycott the reasons we were born because we're taught to just ignore this fucking alienation they
Talk to us in a way that suggests that we should be grateful - Nah
Just another page in the story of an ordinary slave
I cant wait until the end of the week to get wasted
Laboring to pay for escapism and status
Drinking to forget how I live self-sedated
I lift the butt of a spliff off the table
I switch off the tele and listen to life Fading Away!

Fading Away, my time is ticking whilst fading Away
Fading Away, the flame is flickering I'm fading Away
Fading Away, Fading Away, Fading Away

I'm in a queue standing patiently planning my day
At Leeds station the ticket lady hands me the change
I see the faces of runaways, lovers and vagrants
Looking to escape, looking to be found as our race rips
Out its foundations, another pound's taken away
They're telling us to waste our wage
Worshipping the famous consumers together prey
Full of frustration and deluded by messages engraved
I'm trying to stay sane engaging with the way
Society's play games they blame on human nature
The truth evades subjectivity lets face it
Every sucker craves the elixer, which they're lacing with
Manipulation, influential ways of
portraying situations by telling us 'they' did it
so we embrace this order dictated
By oppressive institutions and dangerous corporations
I board the train and I find an unreserved seat
I pause and take a minute to gather my thoughts and turn to see
A bird flying free in a framework of uncertainty
A church with a steeple thats crooked I want to learn to be
A person with a deeper sense of purpose
I keep observing people talking like they're worthless
Our words seem to resonate with hurt
So maybe we should turn
Our backs, walk away and keep searching, I'll keep searching

Fading Away, my time is ticking whilst fading Away
Fading Away, the flame is flickering I'm fading Away
Fading Away, Fading Away, Fading Away

Now embedded within my memory lay records on the carpet
Marvin Gaye playing me, my brother and my father
It must've been hard for him, I think back and see
As a child needs a mother and when she died I was only three
I wish I'd known her wish that I could show her that Simon's growing up,
I feel so alone without somebody to trust
But listen up, I love life
and these lessons that I learn whenver I slip and lose sight
Now, a time will come for each man when he must decide
Exist being a hedonist or find something higher
I'm forever trying, I'm climbing I'm falling
I'm fighting my corner, my fire is roaring
But time is pouring through my finger tips and all of this
Reminiscing makes me realise how important this life is

and how important your life is
how important this life is
and how important your life is.
