about

A trip down the road of reasons - thanks to Antony Gormley for the imagery (verse 3)

lyrics

We’re pushing all the buttons in
Pressing on the one marked play
Planning on a dancing party
‘Cos we can’t stand still all day
These dreams they drive us
To distraction into action but when
Deep down they divide us
It’s David and Goliath all over again

Because
Just because
Because we can - we do

We’re working on a wheel that’s round
To turn the world on its head
Winding our way through the week
Ending up down to Earth instead
To the max, tracking back-firing
On all fours we crawl
Out of the woods, out of this world
Into infinity we fall

Because
Just because
Because we can - we do
Because
Just because
Because we can - we do (because we can) we do

We’re carving up the countryside
Now that the car is king
Canute couldn’t do it and he knew it
You can’t stop the tides coming in
Like iron stones we’re standing
Waves crashing round, not quite drowning
Staring with our eyes still on the prize
Facing the future we’re founding

Because we can
Because
Just because
Because we can (because we can)
Because
There is no plan
(Because we can)
There is no plan
