Letra de Codpieces And Capes - The Tangent
Letra de canci�n de Codpieces And Capes de The Tangent lyrics
i) We've Got The Music
In the days when music came "quickly from afar"
We heard your songs in wonder, (still wonder where you are)
You were our teen years of which we can't let go
You were our soul's dream - to make that path our own
The trail it leads us forward through every day of our lives,
Moments of despondency, money fears and strife,
And though it seems like nothing will ever sort us out,
It's all right! (We've Got The Music!)
It's all right! (We've Got The Music!)
I want to form new theories, not harbour old beliefs,
As if some vinyl gatefold were the only truth I seek,
But if I take the easy road by sticking to the script,
It's all right! (We've Got The Music!)
When the things that we do get out of control,
When the stuff that we churn out just plugs in the holes of our lives
It's time to turn round, time to find a way
And if Neal can find God, then what's in it for me?
Could I take that same road?
Would the truth set me free?
Ii) Geronimo - The Shark End Of A Legacy
Always in the darkness but always on the move
I stand in your great shadow with nothing left to prove
I wait for your attentions like a hapless little boy
Who just wants to be like you
Who just wants to enjoy your respects, ah, nothing less!
So did I really waste it, the life I could have led?
As a lawyer or a preacher I could have tasted your success
Not lost with noisy rock bands on a fire escape in Leeds
Struggling with the Hammond
And playing till my fingers bleed
To an empty room? "Ah, it'll all change soon! - I'll show em!"

How can your legacy not be written by the ones who follow you?
Who follow you to the end of the world?
Iii) Trucks And Rugs And Prog And Roll
Codpieces and capes, and all the hotel japes
Your name emblazoned on the top of your three trucks
And you've got roadies for your drugs and persian rugs
But on my French book, I'll still draw your logo late at night
To me you're still thin, wearing flares, your hair in graceful flight
In the mirror they're old... but not in the gatefold
Iv) A Night at Newcastle City Hall in 1971
A Lost Soul 44 Years Later:
And I was there!
(Well... I was at school... but I WAS THERE!)
And every note they played that night seemed like magic in the air
Stuff coming together, stuff that belonged,
The critics said "pretentious", oh my god, they were SO wrong!
(They were probably right about the rug)
v) We've Got The Music (Reprise)
The trail it leads us forward through every day of our lives,
Moments of despondency, money fears or strife,
And though it seems like nothing will ever sort us out,
It's all right! (We've Got The Music!)
It's all right! (We've Got The Music!)
When the things that we do get out of control,
When the stuff that we churn out just plugs in the holes of our lives
It's time to turn round, time to find a way
And if Neal can find God, well, what's in it for me?
Could I take that same road?
