about

A song about the trials of songwriting, losing sense of time, our cosmic insignificance, and the fourth wall. And the joys of mango lassi.

lyrics

(Twit chorus)

The planets spin around in space
They’ve nothing else to do
And they don’t care a jotlet for
The likes of me and you
Our cosmic insignificance
Is legendary stuff
And when the tough gets going
We all play blind man’s buff

I am older than yesterday
Younger than I will be
I am older than yesterday
Now I’m older than me

(Twit chorus)

I am older than yesterday
Younger than I will be
I am older than yesterday
Now I’m older than me

I am older than yesterday
Older than I was then
I am older than yesterday
Not the youngest or oldest of men

This song has quite a lot of words
And now here come some more
Although I must say I am finding
Writing them a chore
When I set off I thought I had
A clear idea to do
But now I just want mango lassi
And a vindaloo

Oh there!
There goes the fourth wall again
Oh dear!
There goes the fourth wall again
To all of my listening friends

(Twit chorus)

I am older than yesterday
Younger than I will be
I am older than yesterday
Now I’m older than me

I am older than yesterday
Older than I was then
I am older than yesterday
Not the youngest or oldest of men

(Fantastic Frank organ bit)

I am older than yesterday
Younger than I will be
I am older than yesterday
Now I’m older than me
Now I’m older than me
Now I’m older than me

(Twit chorus)

Give it to ‘em straight, Moriarty!

about

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
