Lyrics:

#07 - He’s There, and Then He Does That
And here he is with some slight variations
But other than that, well there’s not much to comment on
Similar. Not identical, but mostly the same
He thinks about all of the chances he’s floundered
He picks up the pieces, but scatters them out again
He never learns - the mess just seems to only get worse
(sax solo by Jeremy Diffey)
Then he’ll inexplicably find motivation
You’ll see it, his eyes won’t be so sullen anymore
But it won’t last long! - and everything will be as it was
And out of nowhere, he’ll burst out with laughter
So overwhelmed with how funny it’s turning out
Hilarious. Trying things he’s already tried
He’s there, and then he does that
Trying to turn it around like he always does
He’s there, and then he does that
He does that, but only sometimes
He’s good for a while until all of a sudden
The burden of all of his responsibilities
Wipes him out - leaves him in a pile on the ground
People are plentiful with their suggestions
Making themselves feel like they are contributing
But he’s on to them! Shutting out friend after friend
He’s there, and then he does that
Convinced that there’s more and that this isn’t good enough
He’s there, and then he does that
He does that, but only sometimes
Running on instinct and fear like an animal
I hope you realise that this is all there is
Nothing changes, it simply will be this
You’ll struggle with the same things you always have
And take for granted the stuff that’s not so bad
Things will stay more or less the same
Minor details, nothing much will change
Not the future, nor in what you’ve left behind
You’ll never cross it If you keep shifting that line
Or maybe some other time?
