letra de the grind - moonshake

Loading...

i used to think i was independent cause i had got up and left for the south
but that’s where the grind caught up with me again
i found the town when i arrived, got seasonal work and then settled for a year in a cheap first floor with a boyfriend
but he wasn’t the one
and seasons change the same wherever you are
so, you’re bumbling along not unhappily in your routine when he appears
and suddenly you’re wretched
you’ve let yourself down and there’s only one way out of this
and the car door’s wide open
you open your eyes and you’re in the passenger seat
the too familiar town scene in the rear view
and all you’ve got in is your work clothes and a big grin
you’ve left everything behind again
but you’ve left him plenty to remember you by

you’re both doing pick up work
keeping one step ahead of the grind that spreads like an invading army through everyone’s minds and keep them ticking over in the engine of the blind

until one day, you’re looking at each other
and you can both see the symptoms of the disease in your routine affections
in your private language, in your new friends’ assumptions
and you wake up one morning and you roll to the middle of the bed and your feet are cold and there’s no note
the inevitable slaps your face but you don’t know if it’s saying “i told you so” or if it’s saying that you’re a fool for expecting anything different
now you’re stranded in a foreign country with no money and a few fair weather friends and they’re telling you that constant drifting is a means to a low end
i know i’m in a jam and it’s not gonna be much fun
i’m settling like dust
my daydream’s packed his case and run
but i don’t have any regrets for all the people left behind
because their disapproving faces show the great cancer of the grind
