lyrics

TOO HARD AGAIN

You speak your new year’s resolutions
But find somehow yourself at the start again
You feel you need absolution
But find a new obsession to take the fear away

You try a reinterpretation
Of all you have breathed and fought and figured out
So hard to repeat a revelation
‘Coz it comes in the whisper and not the shout

But it’s too hard to think about
It’s too hard again
You wait till tomorrow, again

He said, “the poor will always be with us”
But I found that I never wanted to be with them
We know through the small we can turn big round
But find a new obsession to carry the guilt today

Tireless exchanges, who’s in and who’s out
Building and breaking of hope and of doubt
False accusations the gulf opens wide
The left and the right and those trapped inside
Defending a truth that’s discerned by its pride....

You don’t have to let it touch you
You need spaces to unwind
Keep on with your backyard renovations
‘Coz sometimes it is all too hard
