From the recording Honesty and Chocolate
Written after an argument with a friend. Sometimes they’re the true test of friendship. Thanks to Paul Austin for drums and Keith Buckman for the suggestion and execution of rickenbacker guitars. More super guitar from Ben!
Lyrics
You say that I’m mistaken,
You say that I’ve been taken in
And it’s a sin
You say that I’ve been blinded
And that I’m simple minded too
And that’s the truth
Opinions differ whether I’m alive or dead
But I can only be the man inside my head
The more your certainties, the fewer I believe
So should I stay or should I leave
You say that I’m deluded but
that you’re not included too
But who are you?
Opinions differ over who is wrong or right
But I can only be a man seeking the light
I never claimed I could see fern seeds in the night
I could be wrong or even right
I don’t think I’m mistaken,
I don’t think I’ve been taken in
But no-one wins
They say that love is blindness
But I say simple kindness too
For me and you
For me and you
For me and you
