DAVE. This reminds me of 70s rock/hard rock. The keyboards just before the second verse sounds like something one of those hairy bands would do. Lovely backing vocals from Rick in the chorus and another of my favourite vocal performances from John.
RICK. Coffee In My Veins has it all! This was the trickiest to play for me. Graham at Cyclone mastering thought it sounded like Rush!
JOHN. This song is the most honest song I've ever written. It's all about me! It would be better to explain the lyrics to this song over a beer. I really enjoyed singing this. It rocks like mad and we're very tight.
lyrics
I WAKE UP LONELY ACHING IN MY BED
I USED TO LIKE TO SEE THE SUN
STABBING THROUGH THE DARK THE WORLD APPEARS
I FEEL BETTER STANDING UP
CAN I HELP YOU THROUGH YOUR LONELINESS?
CAN YOU HELP ME IGNORE MINE?
NOW I KNOW IT’S TIME TO MAKE YOU SMILE
BUS STOP MIRRORS ALL MY THOUGHTS
SNAPPING PHOTOS JUST TO PASS THE TIME
ALWAYS WISHING WANTING MORE
CAN I HELP YOU THROUGH YOUR LONELINESS?
CAN YOU HELP ME IGNORE MINE?
FEEL THE COFFEE PUMPING THROUGH MY VEINS
NUMBS EMOTION KILLING TIME
CAN I HELP YOU THROUGH YOUR LONELINESS?
CAN YOU HELP ME IGNORE MINE?
