Same Old Circuit

Not gonna pretend that I'm the next best thing
When I'm a so-called artist with a familiar ring
I'll sit in my room and try to connect the right words to make you swoon
A so-called artist presenting... nothing new
It's the same old circuit that everyones in
Just wait a minute and we'll count ourselves in
1, 2, 3 you're a lot like me
In the same old circuit we all race around in
Do you get words when you're walking along the street?
A late night poet but pathetic at everything
Hit every night that you can
Trying your best to expand
Just one more show and I'll be back on my feet
It's the same old circuit that everyones in
Just wait a minute and we'll count ourselves in
1, 2, 3 you're a lot like me
In the same old circuit we all race around in
Don't you know?
They never really care
Don't you know?
You're not the reason that they're all there
Another name on a list of 5 or 6
It's individuals that make it worth it
It's the same old circuit that everyones in
Just wait a minute and we'll count ourselves in
1, 2, 3 you're a lot like me
In the same old circuit we all race around in
Leave the same old circuit that everyones in
Just wait a year and then we'll march ourselves in
5, 6, 8 and we'll alleviate
Leave the same old circuit we're forever trapped in

I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a girl
Who knows the first guy would fall at her feet
So that's the way it goes when you know someone
Who knows someone who knows
Just what the others see
I said why would you put yourself through this?
So many assets so many facets so many
Complications
I said why would you put yourself through this?
And he replied, "FYI I'm only here to get my heart broken."
Here to get my heart broken
He says he copes through a scope of what he'd hope
Were incredibly well cultured pop songs
But he'll always miss and enter bliss
With every move and every groove and one day
It'll be all wrong
I said why would you put yourself through this?
So many assets so many facets so many
Complications
I said why would you put yourself through this?
And he replied, "FYI I'm only here to get my heart broken."
Here to get my heart broken
If we move forward with this
Out of time, out of town, out of rounds to play
If we move forward with this,
Out of time, out of town, out of rounds
I said why would you put yourself through this?
So many assets so many facets so many
Complications
I said why would you put yourself through this?
And he replied, "FYI I'm only here to get my heart broken."
Here to get my heart broken

Thomas Lock Lincoln, UK
Rock musician from Essex, UK
Thomas Lock recommends:
The '59 Sound
by The Gaslight Anthem
To this day still one of my favorite albums, and I've been told that the influence can be seen in my own music. Such nostalgic and inspirational songwriting.

Folklore (hi-resolution audio)
by Big Big Train
Something a little different: Big Big Train write some incredible and truly progressive rock telling tales of old English folklore. Takes me back to childhood holidays camping around the country.
