lyrics

in the past i used to scream
about the people who i knew had been mean
in the past the world seemed big
now i see small holes where the rest of you live

in the past i used to cry
about all kind of things i'd seen with my eyes
in the past i took a photograph
to remember why you had to have the final laugh

never been fun
never been fun
might've been small once
but i've never been fun
take it low

in the future i watched tv
i liked the adverts they really spoke to me
in the future i used to fly
like some kind of child for the rest of my life

in the future i used to cry
about all kinds of things i'd seen with my eyes
in the future i took a photograph
to remember why you had to have the final laugh

never been fun
never been fun
might've been small once
but i've never been fun
take it low

it was a good day, it was a real good day
i talked to you, you talked to me
we didn't care about sincerity
i don't have time for reality

it was a good day, it was a real good day
walked around, avoided town
the kind of place designed to knock you down
i don't have time for nothing now

oh, but if you love me you wouldn't leave me for anything
oh, but if you love me you wouldn't leave me, any day

it was a good day, it was a real good day
i talked to you, you talked to me
we didn't care about sincerity
i don't have time for reality

it was a good day, it was a real good day
got myself all carried away
got all boxed up and packed away
nothing else left to say

oh, but if you love me you wouldn't leave me for anything
oh, but if you love me you wouldn't leave me, any day

far away, far away
i go up into the sky
forever and a day...

about

Claire Welles image

Claire Welles Liverpool, UK

One of Liverpool’s finest underground provocateurs. Fiercely singular in her approach to music yet with a musical nous you simply can’t teach.

A long history of recording music, Claire has straddled almost every musical styling yet imbues her music with a rich melodic tendency which makes her experimental pop ease into your being over time. If you let it. ... more
