Let It Slide

So much you felt you had to hide
Once I knew that I nearly died.
The signs were all there
I was blind in my despair.
Wondering what to do
Ripping out my hair
People around me biting lips,
About your loose hips, sinking ships.
So we hid the shit with lots of insta clips
No wind in the sails just too many rips.
I dreamed a dream of dry land
But we’re bogged right here in quicksand.
Stuck in a broken down van
No more left for our last stand.

What’s best for you it seems to be,
Seems to be so bad for me.
Do I run away
Or do I stand aside
I just gotta let it slide

Push and pull
(Pushing and a pulling and I push until you pull)
I act like such a fool
(Pushing and a pulling and I’m feeling like a fool)
I know it just ain’t cool
(Pushing and a pulling and it’s really uncool)
I’ve just got to breathe and let it slide.

Dreams washed away by rivers.
All your takers dressed as givers.
Held hands through bad affairs,
Thought we were one of those pairs.
There were no constraints,
Neither one of us were saints.
We talked of perfect pictures but we’d run out of paints.
We started the fire that burnt us.
Built our lives inside a furnace.
Oh so hot yet cold as ice,
Every time we rolled the dice.
Hearts do hurt when torn apart
But I guess we knew that from the start.

What’s best for you it seems to be,
Seems to be so bad for me.
Do I run away
Or do I stand aside
I just gotta let it slide

Push and pull
(Pushing and a pulling and I push until you pull)
I act like such a fool
(Pushing and a pulling and I’m feeling like a fool)
I know it just ain’t cool
(Pushing and a pulling and it’s really uncool)
I’ve just got to breathe and let it slide.

Michael Wheatley Sydney, Australia

From underground funk rock in Kings Cross in the nineties to touring nationally with his own fringe shows it has been, for Michael, a very long way to the shop to get his sausage roll. Along that road though he has moved many a soul with his passion, unique sound and prolific songwriting. He's the kind of artist who you're lucky to know about and will always remember once you do. ... more
