about

Did you ever stop to think?

Who ARE the bad guys?

Who?

The them.

The they.

The other .

The someone.


Never us.


Another life is an ode to the continual conflict and self assurance roundabout in us all - a musical mantra for the new age of introspection and self loathing.

It’s a self righteous beating drum in a world full of crooked shadows with a heart of darkness.

It’s the promises we make , to ourselves and others , that we ultimately cannot keep .

It’s the voice on your pillow that taunts you with the truth about yourself whilst your loved ones sleep

It's the last verse in the great song the world forces you to sing as you bob on the tide of the electronic clicks and whirrs that judge us all continually.

Blues for the modern age.

But don’t be fooled into thinking this is some form of catharsis.

Far from it.

This is a hymn to the great God of self justification - a lullaby for your rotten conscience.

So raise your hands and sing with us brothers and sisters -

In shrieking harmony

To the ceiling of the church of hypocrisy

For we are the forgiven

By ourselves

Over

And

Over

Continually -

Forever

And

Ever

Amen.


As the loathsome R Kelly once said - ‘It wasn’t me’

And we all know how that fucking turned out.


* sound of a door closing.

lyrics

LYRICS:


In my other life I’m an honest man
In my other life I’m a decent man
Don’t judge me how you see me
On what I am
‘Cos in my other life I’m a decent man.

Yeah in my other life I’ve got many plans
I’ll take the highest road where division stands
I’ll tear apart your lies with my two strong hands
In my other life I’m a decent man

In my other life I’m an honest man
In my other life I’m a decent man
Don’t judge me how you see me
On what I am
‘Cos in my other life I’m a decent man.

I gotta get out of here
Ahh can’t you see all the exits burning?
I see the formula’s clear
Keep all the dancers dancing on.

I’m an honest man
I’m an honest man

In my other life I’m an honest man
In my other life I’m a decent man
Don’t judge me how you see me
On what I am
‘Cos in my other life I’m a decent man.
Yeah

In my other life I’m an honest man
With way too much resentment when his life began
He’s covering his tracks as best he can
And praying that the truth never hits the fan

In my other life I’m an honest man
In my other life I’m a decent man
Don’t judge me how you see me
On what I am
‘Cos in my other life I’m a decent man.

I gotta get out of here
Ahh can’t you see all the exits burning?
I see the formula’s clear
Keep all the dancers dancing on.
Ahh can’t you see all the exits burning?
We gotta get outta here
Ahh can’t you see all the exits burning?
The exits are burning.

I’m sitting in the dark with blood on my hands
I wanna be reborn with an honest plan
In the next life I’ll be decent man
‘Cos in the next life I’ll be a decent man.
