Lyrics
I failed my medical
Needed to rest and convalesce in full
Wrapped up in cotton wool
From cranium to metatarsal
What I want's what I can't have-
The chance to re-invent the past
And throw out all of history's
Relentless draining misery
CHORUS:
Combat Slave
Grab the rudder
Steal yourself
Try to discover
A place unlike no other
Keep a hold it's now or never
Tight-lipped and pitiful
Need to address this mess in full
Stuck in life's vestibule
Caught between these past and future worlds
What I wants what I can't have-
The chance to reinvent the past
Dreams change past realities-
What should of,would of, could of been
CHORUS
Can't read the signs so run for cover
Unquiet minds are like no other
Good meets bad and deigned the same
Muddled in the middle
Choke on smoking confusion
Your eyes are double glazed
CHORUS
Combat Slave grab the rudder
Free yourself it's now or never
This needs to change for ever
Hang on to maƱana
