about

A mention to Simon Wells (Simon and the Astronauts). We were sharing ideas and lyrics and I kept on returning to

And we learn to sleep standing up
We nod towards the oxygen gasp
We’ve tasted everything in the delicatessen
And we’re rolling on the road to Armageddon

I would write and re write several versions and ended up with the basis for this song. When I was working on this Album Joe and I took it into a slightly different space, and then I invited Neill to add his magnificent guitar.

lyrics

Everything in the Delicatessen

We run to the wall
And stop and the gate
I peer through the lock
Catch a glimpse of our fate
With fire in our lungs
And smoke in our hearts
We turn from the world
We’re ripping apart


And we learn to sleep standing up
We nod towards the oxygen gasp
We’ve tasted everything in the delicatessen
And we’re rolling on the road to Armageddon


There’s a babe in my arms
She’s hungry and cold
I look into her eyes
She’s six months old
She smiles at her dad
As I sing an old song
Alive alive o
We live to hold on


And we learn to sleep standing up
We nod towards the oxygen gasp
We’ve tasted everything in the delicatessen
And we’re rolling on the road to Armageddon


Some days are so dark
And the hurting so deep
I’m down through the bone
where dreams and ghosts meet
so i search for the song
and i reach for the smile
and the look in your eyes
that says take the next mile

And we learn to sleep standing up
We nod towards the oxygen gasp
We’ve tasted everything in the delicatessen
And we’re rolling on the road to Armageddon
