lyrics

The radio
Played soft and low
Just as the sky
Began to glow
And just like that
It goes like this
If you don’t fight
You’re gonna wish

Cause it’s the same old story
It’s death or glory
Yeah it’s the same old story
It’s death or glory again
And again
Don’t lose heart,
My friend

And so you said
Just get to work
It’s all a farce
Nothing hurts
The phantoms fade
Like dust in light
Like a rolling stone
Don’t think twice

Cause it’s the same old story
It’s death or glory
Yeah it’s the same old story
It’s death or glory again
And again
Don’t lose heart,
My friend

Let’s build a fire
As big as dawn
With all we love
In our arms
A fire so bright
That the dead could see
Let’s get untrapped
Let’s get free

Cause it’s the same old story
It’s death or glory
Yeah it’s the same old story
It’s death or glory again
And again
Don’t lose heart,
My friend

I keep a list
Of those I miss
Susie, Kate and Craig
David and Chris
But the maps get cruel
So remember this
If it ends in defeat
Don’t follow it
Oh, Younger Hearts,
Don’t cave in
You’ll lose a lot
But sometimes you’ll win

Mmm hmm
Mmm hmm
Mmm hmm
Mmm hmm

A transformative album that absolutely captures the essence of hammock, yet is unique all onto itself. The vocals are absolutely wonderful. The lyrics are moving. Another brilliant production, that you can listen to from start to finish without having to skip any tracks. Well done!! Jasen Speed
