lyrics

Wish my cap and feather days
Did not end up in the maze
As of now I’m left perplexed
In a life of hypertext
Wish I gained some confidence
Asked her for a comfy dance
As of now I’m left alone
Oozing of testosterone
On this Sunday afternoon
Dream a bitter dream
Mourning inability of
Acting on a whim
Why do I keep losing it?
Why do I keep missing opportunities?
Why am I still losing it?
Maybe it’s a curse?

Wish I pulled for Italy
Wouldn’t cry so bitterly
After all the bluish team
Always had a high esteem
Wish I held my wallet tight
In the darkness of the night
As it turns out I am broke
Like that ragamuffin bloke
On this Sunday afternoon
Dream a bitter dream
Mourning inability of
Acting on a whim
Why do I keep losing it?
Why do I keep missing opportunities?
Why am I still losing it?
Maybe it’s a curse?

Wish I wrote a testament
Left my fortune to a friend
As of now my greedy kids
Tear it up to little bits
Wish I said incinerate
Just before it was too late
As of now my shabby corpse
Will be eaten by the worms
On this Sunday afternoon
Dream a bitter dream
Mourning inability of
Acting on a whim
Why do I keep losing it?
Why do I keep missing opportunities?
Why am I still losing it?
Maybe it’s a curse?

Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-)) Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) .
