about
i never released this track, because I stopped believing in it's message. I wrote it when I felt this insatiable need to work, work, work, but in the end that caused me great suffering when i developed a stress/muscle tension related vocal disorder. So basically, don't listen to me, but I know a lot of people were looking forward to this one so I thought I'd informally stick it on here!
lyrics
I've been workin all day tryin to make one change but I can't do it
People keep sayin stop for a breath, stop stop for a few minutes
I'm feeling worn out,
But mostly I am feeling fired up now.
It's my own choice,
Doing nothing makes me feel much worse cos
If I do nothing then why am I here?
If I do nothing I'm living in fear.
Say what now, you want me to believe, that I should fall asleep for days on end
If I do nothing then why am I here?
if you see pretty things that you want do you save all your pennies up?
If you love to dance do you move till your poor little legs drop?
I'm feeling inspired,
Can't you understand I will not waste time,
It's my own choice,
Doing nothing makes me want to burst cos,
If I do nothing then why am I here?
If I do nothing I'm living in fear.
Say what now, you want me to believe, that I should fall asleep for days on end
If I do nothing then why am I here?
Done with feeling useless
Fraying at the end but I'm still playing tug of war (heave ho)
What's the point in dreaming,
When making it real is so much fun.
People keep sayin stop for a breath, stop stop for a few minutes
I'm feeling worn out,
But mostly I am feeling fired up now.
It's my own choice,
Doing nothing makes me feel much worse cos
If I do nothing then why am I here?
If I do nothing I'm living in fear.
Say what now, you want me to believe, that I should fall asleep for days on end
If I do nothing then why am I here?
if you see pretty things that you want do you save all your pennies up?
If you love to dance do you move till your poor little legs drop?
I'm feeling inspired,
Can't you understand I will not waste time,
It's my own choice,
Doing nothing makes me want to burst cos,
If I do nothing then why am I here?
If I do nothing I'm living in fear.
Say what now, you want me to believe, that I should fall asleep for days on end
If I do nothing then why am I here?
Done with feeling useless
Fraying at the end but I'm still playing tug of war (heave ho)
What's the point in dreaming,
When making it real is so much fun.

Four super songs from Sarah; all beautifully structured, sung and produced. There's a real brooding intensity to the messages built into these tracks – feelings that aren't quickly forgotten.
