we will dance out on the streets : live in the living room

[Oldrottenhead]

the words and melody came to me quite quickly today,

inspired by all the wonderful things i saw and heard during the referendum.

when i got home i intended to see if i could come up with some chords to go with the lyric and melody,

however events took a darker turn when some unionist thugs spoiled the party and glasgow's reputation.

the song in my head was an uplifting protest song, but i haven't slept in the last 48 hours, so it didn't really come out that way, what with the carry on in Glasgow and my voice starting to crack, so i recorded it before it left me again

we will dance out on the streets

live in the living room

We shared a dream
as we all danced out on the streets
we dreamt that want
and need would be no more
we sang as one
and prayed that we could change our world
our hopes where high
we filled the air with joy

we stood up to
the fear of change the status quo
the dream we had
alas was shared by just too few
not quite enough
so close but just there out of view
but maybe still
the will for change can overcome

our hopes for now
cannot be put on hold
a change must come
we won't just go away
we're here to stay
our voices will be heard
we have a dream
yes we will dance out on the streets
yes we will dance out on the streets
yes we will dance out on the streets

in the process of redoing this one, is gonna be completely different, a bit closer to the idea i had in my head to begin with. am currently throwing everything at it to see what sticks.

Really explains how I and maybe a lot of people I know feel,really quite angry about how this election has been hijacked.
These people have a different agenda, don,t want to say anymore...
