lyrics

I’d save you from this dragon if I could, my love
But the tower is way too high
I’ll place you in the arms of a hero darling and cry
If you gave me a shovel I would build you a home
If I knew the first thing about it
But right now my foundations are starting to groan
Held together with paper and spit

And as the walls are crumbling I am tumbling to the ground
And I can’t do anything about it

So give me the keys and I’ll wait outside and smoke myself into a hole
Weep and freak out as the timbers creak out of control
And if there were a way I would take you away
But it seems this complaint has waylaid us
A million miles from the faraway isles
And the drunken misfortunes that made us

And as the light’s despairing I am tearing at my skin
And I can’t do anything about it

So now I’ll retreat into childish conceit and regress ‘til I’m mentally five
And I won’t take a breath until you’re sat on my left and we drive
But for now I’ve no peace and a million seconds
Tick-tocking away in my brain
And my chest won’t release until we’re locked up again
In our magnificent minaret, miles away

And as the shadows are creeping I am weeping in the crowd
And I can’t do anything about it
No, I can’t do anything about it
And I can’t do anything about it
I can’t do anything about it

Lockdown
by Gaz Brookfield

supported by 14 fans who also own “I Can't Do Anything About It”

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!
