about

This song is probably the closest stylistically to our early folk-inspired roots. Written over breakfast in a southport hotel - bizarre but true!

lyrics

LYRICS

When it matters the most,
Make it matter the least
When you’re faced with a famine,
Prepare for a feast

When you’re all out of options,
You don’t have to choose
And when you have nothing,
You have nothing to lose

Sail close to the wind and you’re taking a chance
If you’re walking on thin ice....then you may as well dance

When you stare down the barrel,
You may as well smile If you’re going to miss,
Miss by a mile

When you’re facing the music,
You may as well sing
For when you have nothing,
You have everything

Sail close to the wind and you’re taking a chance
If you’re walking on thin ice....then you may as well dance

When your head’s saying no,
Time to follow your heart
When it looks like it’s over,
It’s a good time to start

When you live like a pauper,
Act like a king
And when you have nothing,
You have everything

Sail close to the wind and you’re taking a chance
If you’re walking on thin ice....then you may as well dance

Don’t you know you’ve nothing left to lose
Don’t you know you always get to choose
Don’t you know that nothing’s as it seems
Don’t you know you live life through your dreams
