lyrics

Holding ourselves from the edge of the headland

There’s a line in the sand
Where the fallen ones have gone
And without a reason why
We were left holding ourselves

We were holding ourselves from the edge of the headland

There were stones raining down on us like lumps of lead from the sky
As we clambered down the embankment to the other side
And you shouted something to me through the storm
About a previous journey when we’d tasted many different drugs

There was something up on the headland as we looked towards the sea
And it spoke to me of times when we was young
But the worst thing was with every step the beating of the waves
Knocked back this old rust bucket to the shore

We were holding ourselves from the edge of the headland

In a way a single kiss can drop away a message that is steeped in a history of love
So believe that all of us will now be willing contemplate a memory we have of times when things was ‘cool’
Chances are you never even saw them there to try to understand is only futile to us now that this past
Make another promise to them all this time has gone and you believe you will be there until the end of all this mess

We were holding ourselves from the edge of the headland
