lyrics

Roger doesn't mind now, it's a fading memory
He's got pictures in his drawer of a race run in Oxford City
History repeating itself at the turn of a reel

Moira doesn't mind now, her hopes and vanity
Fading on a pillow, drowning in her sleep
She finds courage to face the day, leaving night times for dreaming

Just take the way that I'm feeling
Ah, she said, I'm tired of this beg-borrow-stealing
Stealing, especially the stealing
So, keep your eyes on the road, keep your hands on the wheel
And we could drive all night
There's a track that leads to every heart so, let's run it hard

What a way to travel, what a way to be
Call me winner of the four minute mile, yeah
What a way to travel, what a way to be
Call me winner of the four minute mile, yeah

Roger doesn't mind now, his fragrant ideal
Lost it in a moment to time the great healer
Hopefully redeeming itself as he turns to stealing

Just take the way that I'm feeling
Ah, he said, I'm tired of this beg-borrow-stealing
Stealing, especially the stealing
So, keep your eyes on the road, keep your hands on the wheel
And we could drive all night
There's a track that leads to every heart so, let's run it hard

What a way to travel, what a way to be
Call me winner of the four minute mile, yeah
What a way to travel, what a way to be
Call me winner of the four minute mile, yeah

Move on, move on
Move on, move on

about

Candy Opera Liverpool, UK

When Candy Opera released 45 Revolutions Per Minute on February 23rd 2018, it was a belated introduction to a very special band sired during Liverpool's 1980s golden age which has taken almost thirty years to happen. Lovingly unearthed and compiled by Firestation Records of Berlin and available on limited edition 18-track CD, the result is a lost gem that points to a million what-might-have-beens. ... more
