about

Words & music : Olivier Rocabois

lyrics

Little compromise I do                          
To live on
Most of the time
When I walk down Virginia Road
That will be fine 
When I am off duty
I'm doing a 180 / 360
Just to be

The creator of a new breed
A new brand
A new culture
Devastated by an old flame
At a young age
Do you remember?

This might not be the brightest/wisest move
You've ever made
You've been to churches and gigs for much too long
Can you hit/reach the highest notes?
Wish you were her
In this smoky sweaty little place
Where you wrote some of your best songs
Sporting your juvenile dehydrated smile.
