about

This is the first of five songs written in our friends' home in eastern France. The lyrics were done when we returned home to "normal life", and more particularly to normal "band life". A major disappointment still burning after quite a long time. That's pretty much all you need to know really.

It was a lot of fun getting this recorded after travelling for a few months - I'm hoping there might be a few versions of this once I get a bit organised.

Merci Marc et Brigitte!

lyrics

Out Here And Stranded
©2012 Neil Porter

It came out of nothing
Wasn’t something you said
No kind of a warning
There’s no voice in my head
I’m out here and stranded
It’s a quandary I’m in
Feeling disbanded
Tied up and branded

I’ve got no illusions
Got no axe to grind
I’m full of confusion
Of the worrying kind

Fishing for compliments
Never know where to look
Got a line in the water
But no bait on the hook
I’m out here and stranded
It’s a quandary I’m in
Feeling disbanded
Tied up and branded

I’ve got no illusions
Got no axe to grind
I’m full of confusion
Of the worrying kind

Need to change the equation
Need to pick at the lock
Too much time on my hands
While I run down the clock
I’m out here and stranded
It’s a quandary I’m in
Feeling disbanded
Tied up and branded

I’ve got no illusions
Got no axe to grind
I’m full of confusion
Of the worrying kind
