FOOT IN A VICE

by Owen Smith

(Talking)
Life may be long pointless and unfair but you don’t know what lies ahead, If good, though we are postponing it we will get there extremely soon, if bad then we will have enjoyed these “Golden years” with pride

Has it been worth it all?
Can you really say that’s true?
Did you ever live life to the full?
Does this mean anything to you?

Or

Is this just the last chapter of a book you didn’t enjoy reading
But kept persistent ‘cos you were told it won’t be good at the beginning
You feel your life was the price
Got one foot in a vice
Now waiting for the end
Of lack of love and lack of friends
Like an evaporating jelly fish
A genie who’s about to grant his final wish
Metal teeth into your ankle easy as a knife
Nothing really new it’s been like this for your whole life
Foot in a vice!
Foot in a vice!

Drifting to sleep
Closer to closure
Near to defeat
You just want it over

Examining your philosophy
Have you been too blind to see
What’s been right in front of your face
For all your years months and days?
The brutal truth is the brutal truth is scary
But the brutal truth is all that can set you free
But there’s nothing you can really do
Because that’s been a secret kept from you
Can’t wait till you get lack of blood
And stare straight at the face of god

This is just the last chapter of a book you didn’t enjoy reading
But kept persistent ‘cos you were told it won’t be good at the beginning
You feel your life was the price
Got one foot in a vice
Now waiting for the end
Of lack of love and lack of friends
Like an evaporating jelly fish
A genie who’s about to grant his final wish
Metal teeth in your ankle easy as a knife
Nothing really new it’s been like this for your whole life
Foot in a vice!
Foot in a vice!
Foot in a vice!
Foot in a vice.
