Name: We Can Start Having Fun
Duration: P00H02M52S
Description: Rather nice quiet (SHORT) version of a song that became a HUGE EPIC when we recorded it for the album. I distinctly remember that the finger picking was HARD, so a) doing STRUMS in the early choruses and b) packing it in altogether when I'd got halfway through. I was recording all these tracks LIVE at Studiosonic during my lunchtime, I didn't have time to do that many takes!

lyrics

We can start having fun
When all our homework's done
When we've revised
Our mocks and applied
For University

We can start making friends
When this semester ends
There's theses to write
And CVs to type
I'm a team player

We can start to relax
In the next band of tax
We've children to raise
And more bills to pay
Responsibilities

I have spent most of my life
Doing what I hoped was right
I've studied and learnt
I've saved, paid and earnt
I've done enough waiting

Let people laugh all that they like
I want a motorbike
Screw caravans
I'm joining a band
Won't you play piano?

So take my hand and come on
Let's bugger off into the sun
Let's spend all our cash
While we still can
We can start having fun
