lyrics

"send it to america"

"she never wants to see you again"

"driving through the desert"

"I was born in mexico"

"he's a gentleman"

"doing a bit of gardening"

"could you do me the biggest favour?"

"yes to sloe gin picking"

"I wouldn't say bad either"

"he's a gentleman"

Story of your life
Help me decide
The memories i should categorise
Strung out in a line

Move through time and space
Shift from place to place
The chapters of your saga align
Soon to go to waste

Sink into the earth
The miracle of birth
No journey through this world is alike
Save for what comes first/last

Split your life apart
Begin from the start
The moments that define you are
The sources of your art
