about

A FOOL'S ERRAND was a lot of fun to write and record. It contains a lot of percussive elements with the guitar and the opening offers a first time listener a bit of a surprise when it all kicks in. Its like being woken up out of a dream and forced into action while still in a fog. I love the drum gallop.

lyrics

The lines in your letters have stopped making sense
that started a long time ago
your punctuations all over the place
and the words that you're using dont flow
and i just can't relate what i've seen
my nightmares have replaced my dreams

Well we've all been here before
its just up and over walls and once there you'll find no place to hide
but if you move fast enough or pray to your god enough
you might just make it out alive
anything big enough to give all you want is big enough to take it away
so remember when you look death straight in the eyes
just smile (LETS GIVE THEM HELL)

one more time here we go (HERE WE GO)
a fool's errand that seemed so possible
bells ring our twice for mourning
they sound so cracked and faded
but they still let you know
when your body fades away who is gonna come for your soul

we gave it all up at the drop of a hat
and we never knew what we had
the truth lies hidden far behind their grins
with their fangs buries in your neck

CHORUS

and now you're lying in the mud with the bugs and the dead
dreaming of the girl you left at home in your bed
this isnt time for dreaming, son. get up on your feet.
just keep your head down and try to stay with me

GET UP! GET UP!
get up on your feet. this aint no time for dreaming
GET UP! GET UP!
whats happened to me? Why cant I wake up?

HEY!

CHORUS
