Life Moves 02:51
I wish I could blame the year that took you from me Live a life in compartments but time doesn't agree Doesn't ask for directions, not once gets lost on the way Drive was just a verb to me, just a simple verb to me This borrowed life, on borrowed time No joy in treading on you No love from the strong No comfort in solitude No hope in song Drive was just a verb to me, just a simple verb to me My destination is out of reach Blinded by white on paper my pupils dilate No room for empty voices No love in hate No pity left for myself No time to waste Drive was just a verb to me but that was yesterday My words release me and I am free

Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers Leave the light on at the top of the stairs Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky A tree taps on the window pane That feeling smothers me again Daddy, is it true that we all have to die? At the top of the stairs is darkness At the top of the stairs is darkness I closed my eyes and when I looked Your name was in the memorial book And what had become of all the things we planned I accepted the commiserations Of all your friends and your relations But there's some things I still don't understand You were so tall, how could you fall? Some photographs of a summer's day A little boy's lifetime away Is all I've left of everything we've done Like a pale moon in a sunny sky Death gazes down as I pass by To remind me that I'm but my father's son I offer up to you, this tribute I offer up to you, this tank park salute

Goodtime Boys' 'Things I Still Don't Understand' is a two-song teaser for their forthcoming proper full-length debut, 'Rain'. "Life Moves" is the A-side—a driving, dynamically and rhythmically propulsive preview of 'Rain's' musical subtlety and emotional depth. The exclusive B-side is a cover of Billy Bragg's "Tank Park Salute" (from Bragg's 1991 album, 'Don't Try This at Home').
