about

I was sitting up on Niue at Ahi and Mark Cross's place - and Mark proudly put on this fabulous track. it was written by their daughter Renata, and she had arranged two versions of the song. It had such a fabulous underbeat and quirky instrumentation. Although we've straightened it up a bit, and inadvertantly lost some of the quirkyness - we really love the simplicity of the track, and SPOONS!!

lyrics

The beat is simple - we move together
And don’t you wanna be God anymore?
And I’ll be honest, we talked about this
The beat is simple but you drive me nuts when I’m in your head

You had to know that I was faking it all
I had to go - A point for proving me wrong
Prove me wrong

The dream was simple; our souls were thirsty
And don’t you wanna inspire me some more?
If I’m dismissive then you’re controlling
The dream is simple but I’d rather dream than watch it all fail

You had to know that fortune will have its fee
Can’t go without - just break a smile out of me
Out of me

INSTRUMENTAL

You had to know that I was faking it all
I had to go - A point for proving me wrong
Prove me wrong

You know it’s easy to live without us
It’s never simple when you’re comfortable with being insane
If I was spineless you’d still control me
The dream was simple and I’d sooner dream than watch it all fail.

You had to know that fortune will have its fee
Can’t go without - just break a smile out of me

You had to know that fortune will have its fee
I had to go - Just break a smile out of me

Break a smile out of me
Break a smile, break a smile
Out of me
