David Gray - Harder / Fugitive

Harder



Can’t recall the moment when the doubt
Ripped your face
Or put my finger on quite when the fog
Took your place
Now we’ve been beating on it ‘til we’re black and blue
Just what good exactly is it gonna do
Always so much harder
So much harder when you have to try

Could we at least agree upon the size
And the shape
The relative dimensions that the lie
Ought to take
For your delectation a scenario
Taken so much further than it needs to go
Always so much harder
Always so much
If we could get away just for a week or two
Baby let it burn the way it used to do
Always so much harder
So much harder when you have to try

And if the ground should open up
And swallow me
It would not stop
That minute hand from ticking off
The minutes ‘til the penny drop

Not a breath of wind and not a cloud in the sky
All the better then to watch the world passing by
Passing by
Passing by
Passing by

Fugitive





Is the answer none of the above
Crouched in a hole like a mud-streaked fugitive
Every day a different version of
Pouring it away like water through a sieve
Hey better realize my friend
Lord in the end now you can’t take it with
Gotta live.

If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye
Gotta try

Well it’s flesh and blood and camouflage
Straight into the wall now something’s gotta give
Just another act of sabotage
Seen through the haze of a mind-rot sedative
When will you realize my friend
Lord in the end now you can’t take it with
Gotta live.

If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye
Gotta try
The world that you’re forsaking
Is surely more than just a lie
Gotta try YEAH

Gotta try
The world that you’re forsaking
Is surely more than just a lie
Gotta try
It’s all there for the taking
And you don’t need to justify
Gotta try
