Recorded on the Once In A Blue Moon tour


Almost There

Recorded in a disused factory outlet on a run down industrial estate in Northern England. The performance was eventually abandoned when the police arrived and stopped the show and almost caused a riot attempting to disperse the crowd of about 2000 fans. Arlenderre was arrested for disturbing the peace, breaking and entering and endangering public safety. He spent the night in police custody, but was later released without charge when it was revealed that he'd actually raised £10,000 for a local charity.



Almost there and nowhere near at all

Thinking it better I jump than I fall
Standing with my back against the wall
Not giving in to anyone
Not being made to crawl

 

Never realising what I'd done
Never saw two of us then, only one
Not knowing what I had till it was gone
Not caring much about anything
Only a place to run



Then I had a guiding light

Now it doesn't shine so bright
I lie awake alone at night
Knowing  I was wrong
Missing you so much, you see
Though I have no right to be
Wishing you were here with me
Here where you belong 

 

Almost there and still just out of touch
How could I give so little

And take so much?
Letting down the only one I trust
Had to be the heart of everything
Had to be me, not us


"It's so much darker when a light goes out

Than it would have been had it never shone"

John Steinbeck
