The Boulder

You had a plan

Used to boast to your friends,

Wouldn’t shut up about it

‘Wait for it, man

I’ve got time on my hands and I’m working on it.

‘Cos me and the band play each night for free beers

Like the Beatles did when they started.’

If I sing my heart out

And I push that boulder up that hill

I’m a superhero

I... Aren’t I?

It’s a sign of the times

Or it might be vitamin D deficiency

Just a little decline

One that comes with the job, not a personal thing

So I sing my heart out

And I push that boulder up that hill

I’m a superhero, I thought

I... Aren’t I?

Lately you dread hanging out with old friends

And their good intentions

‘Any news on the tour? Was it all you hoped for, were there good reactions?’

You say: ‘Man, it’s been great!’

But you’re just saving face as your confidence fades.

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...
