A day in the suburban life - so many paths to take!
lyrics
I get up, go down stairs
Make a brew, listen to the news
I take up a cup for you
Crack a smile, linger for a while
You put on your face, take off
Break away, make to say it’s okay today
I agree then reluctantly
We become our other selves, as we break the spell
So we go on, quick, slow, yes, no, wrong
Ahead, left, right, dead end, back pedal turn instead again
Two halves, you, me, trying to be who we could be
Still in and willing to play but
Are we just filling and killing the days?
‘Cos life’s a maze in the end
When you get to the middle
You’ve solved the riddle and then
You find your way back to the start again
You come in out of the cold
Touching skin we begin to unfold
Toast the day as it slips away
Here’s to another one done, here’s to the next one to come
So we go on, quick, slow, yes, no, wrong
Ahead, left, right, dead end, back pedal turn instead again
Two halves, you, me, trying to be who we could be
Still in and willing to play but
Are we just filling and killing the days?
‘Cos life’s a maze in the end
When you get to the middle
You’ve solved the riddle and then
You find your way back to the start again
When you get to the middle
You’ve solved the riddle and then
You find your way back to the start again

“Maze” conjures the piano-based songs of Paul McCartney or Brian Wilson, featuring gorgeous circular melodies which weave an unbroken lyrical lattice - “Elephant” is another smart composition which changes rhythm on a dime - ultimately the best moments are remarkable ”...more
