Name: Turn off the engine
Duration: P00H02M15S
Description: Starting with an ambient piano from Matt, this was then fiddled with by Al, Rosie dignified the chorus with some lines and Ian tidied up at the end. This must be how bands in the 70s did it when they were too rich, drunk and bitter to be in the same room as each other.

about

Starting with an ambient piano from Matt, this was then fiddled with by Al, Rosie dignified the chorus with some lines and Ian tidied up at the end. This must be how bands in the 70s did it when they were too rich, drunk and bitter to be in the same room as each other.

lyrics

It wasn’t a choice. It wasn’t an option. They just said turn it off – furlough it. All that.

So what happens when things just don’t happen?

All the things that last forever, just don’

What happens when they turn it off.

What happens when they turn you off, when they turn me off, what happens when everything just gets – turned – off

Like, everything. Off

Well – we keep happening.

It was dark at first and I didn’t know how to manage without the brushing against strangers

But sooner or later it got calm and I realised I could live with being contagious

I know there’s talk about going back into it

The old college chant’s desperate to start up again

They want to take down the barricades

But I’ve decided I don’t want to be part of what got waylaid

No more of any of it

No more waiting for festival tickets to come unlocked

No more quick drinks

No more 5 a side

No more flirting over coffee cups

No more useful 360 feedbacks

Turn it off lads

And that bit

Turn off that last bit

All of it
