about

Moira: I’d like to take this opportunity to say a big ‘thank you’ to lovely Yvonne O’Hara (who writes and sings under the pseudonym Narva9 on ccmixter.org) for allowing me to record her song.

Siobhan: Funk, Pop – the only song on the album one can actually dance too. Including a funky guitar – a very busy drum player and a straight forward bassline. Some organ and pad included also. There were so many good dancefloor classics written in the 70s which are played on every party (still).

lyrics

LYRICS (by Narva9)

Never danced in the rain
Never howled at the moon
Never downed a shot of whiskey
Never slept until noon
Never smoked a pipe
Be it weed or for peace
Never gave much of a thought to the world
Beyond my feet

Chorus
So why am I here
What is it all about
Why does the world go ‘round
And is the sky still blue above
Now answer me this
Has it all been a lie
‘Cause how is it I still live
When I’ve never been alive

Life was always just a fact
No place for silly dreams
Those were just for other fools
At least that’s what it seemed
So I never thought to try
Never thought I had a choice
So I never gave my heart away
Never ever gave it voice

Chorus
So why am I here
What is it all about
Why does the world go ‘round
And is the sky still blue above
Now answer me this
Has it all been a lie
‘Cause how is it I still live
When I’ve never been alive

Never sat in the sun
Never named the stars above
Never stopped to smell the roses
I never made the time
Now my end has come
And all I’m left is regret
For I never told you how much I love you
So many things I never said

Chorus
So why am I here
What is it all about
Why does the world go ‘round
And is the sky still blue above
Now answer me this
Has it all been a lie
‘Cause how is it I still live
When I’ve never been alive
