Facing North Songtext
von Nick Barker

Monday
Always comes around too quickly
And it′s Sunday
It's got you in an iron grip
Just like a recurring trip
The grass seems greener on your
Next door neighbour′s nature strip

And I'm running out of change
And the light's flashing in my face
I should just learn to face things
They tore out the page that
Showed you how to act your age
Yeah, I should just learn to face things
Find you′re facing nothing
You′re facing nothing at all


Friendships
Always cease to amaze me
More like hardships
Yeah, you lend an eye to cut some slack
Walk on someone else's track
Another bloated hypocrite sticks a
Damn fin in your back and twists

And I′m running out of change
And the light's flashing in my face
I should just learn to face things
When they tore out the page that
Showed you how to act your age
Yeah, I should just learn to face things
Find you′re facing nothing
You're facing nothing at all
Nothing at all

Mondays
Yeah, they sneak up on me so softly
And it′s Sundays
They got me in a vice-like grip
Just like a recurring trip
The grass seems greener on your
Next door neighbour's nature strip


And I'm running out of change
And the light′s flashing in my face
I should just learn to face things
When they tore out the page that
Showed me how to act my age
I should just learn to face things
I should just learn to face things
I should just learn to face things
Find you′re facing nothing
You're facing nothing
You′re facing nothing at all
