Name: I Think You’ll Find That’s Checkmate, Gary Kasparov
Duration: P00H01M34S
Description: I wrote this one and ‘Lamppost’ together one night, both about how it was rubbish to be stuck on the Isle of Wight while virtually all my friends are dotted about the country or holed up in soon-to-be-marriages. Also, it was fun to play the harmonica, albeit badly.

about

I wrote this one and ‘Lamppost’ together one night, both about how it was rubbish to be stuck on the Isle of Wight while virtually all my friends are dotted about the country or holed up in soon-to-be-marriages. Also, it was fun to play the harmonica, albeit badly.

lyrics

It’s too far for me to walk/too far for them to go/too expensive to catch a bus or a train/but the internet is free/and my mobile is handy/so why the hell does no one ever call?/i have no enemies/and plenty of acquaintances/i can always stop for a three minute catch-up/but no one knows my name/or remembers my face/it’s kinda hard having no one to rely on/and my hope is memory/i look at someone’s face while someone else calls my name/anonymously i walk alone/the guns that were out for me fall away as the sun goes down/”well honestly i’ve been busy!”/funny how everyone does
