about
"This was inspired by an article in the Guardian about a young lad, doing well in the city, walked into the sea with loads of stones in his pockets, but when they found him in what was basically a calm sea, he had drowned, but for some reason he had a knife that he never used. What was the knife for? He was wearing a really expensive suit and shoes. His fancy car had the window smashed, and he left a note that he had had enough. By all accounts, he was a bit of a party animal. I wanted to know what was going on in his mind. I just wrote about how I envisaged his state of mind —plus adding a little anti-capitalism message in there as well. It was very influenced by ‘A Forest’ by The Cure. There’s a bit of a Doors influence in the vocals and a superb Arabic scale by Steve."

lyrics
You stand and look through the space
Of a grey stone square
And cry in the bedroom
For the wind in your hair
The windows are cloudy
Outside there is mist
But for you the difference
Is the strength of your fist
In the dark of a nightclub
You wish you could see,
In the back of your mind
You want to be free
You want to be free
Ha!
The passage of time
Is an elegant race -
For you it is hard,
You can’t stand the pace.
The mirrors are blushing,
The coal is down low -
The room is so cold,
On the floor there is snow.
A tighter grip on the wheel
As you try to flee
Sitting in the car
You want to be free
You want to be free
Ha!
The man in the moon
Has his stare fixed on you,
In the warmth of the sky
You wish you were there too.
The shadows are gone,
The streetlights are out,
Now you are lost,
Now you can doubt.
There’s a knife in your hand,
Stones in the sea -
Waves all around you,
You want to be free
You want to be free
Ha!
[Repeat]
