George Henry King - The Future Is Foreign To Me(Live)

Written and Performed by George Henry King
Copyright © 2011

Myself playing an original track called 'The Future is Foreign To Me ' at my first solo gig at 'Tin Pan Alley', so don't be to harsh The quality isnt brilliant either but you get the jist.

Lyrics below.

Verse 1
I had a brief encounter with a purring pussy cats eye,
She looked straight through me out and in and told me she saw me die.
If we stop her stopwatch from ticking darling its her heart we will also smash,
So farsen your seats belts 'cause this car called 'time' is about to crash.

Pre chorus/Chorus
Do you think the future is all picnics and poetry?
We'll go there together and ill cook us a banquet by the sea.
I feast my eyes on your face then realise you're far too pretty to be,
Wasting time with myself and I but I guess that's why the Future is Foreign to Me.

Verse 2
The type writer didn't write her script in the right way,
So the jester jumped from his pack of cards and made the king laugh all day.
Home made bracelets and packets of love hearts from the girl that I shouldn't let pass,
But if I did it'd feel like mini eggs, when they shatter in your mouth like glass.

Pre chorus/Chorus
Do you think the future is all picnics and poetry?
We'll go there together and ill cook us a banquet by the sea.
I feast my eyes on your face then realise you're far too pretty to be,
Wasting time with myself and I but I guess that's why the Future is Foreign to Me.

Bridge
I know you feel like you've waved goodbye, to your last and final chance,
I guess the worlds gonna have to wait for the girl who dreamed to dance.
So now you know that its not all picnics and pleasant poetry,
And in fact its what you've got already got that determines what you see

Chorus
The Future's Foreign to Me.
