Somewhere over the rainbow

These are actually song lyrics from our band (Idleeyes) but I thought I'd post it to take me to 50 posts as really music and lyric writing was what got me into poetry and this is one of our better ones.

Written to the Crowd

Corridors of faces
Lighting overhead
They're happy to bear witness
to the music in his head

Stiff fingers from the cold
Cold heart from what's been said
They're happy to bear witness
To the music in his head

Banished to the corner
The pen on his paper's dead
They're happy to bear witness
To the music in his head

Yet why are they so happy?
As he wails about couples wed?
They're happy to bear witness
to the music,
in his head.

Everybody hurts, take comfort in your friends, cos everybody hurts sometimes

(r.e.m)

I like. I want to hear the song, though. Could you email a recording of it to me?

"I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation."
