Every Little Thing That Happens in the World

from Sentinel at the Portico by Esgazette

lyrics

Somebody spoke boy I heard it
Heading my way can’t avert it
Flap your wings and sure I feel it
Any old thing that I can sense

Move over stand up sit down or maybe just drifting off
Lost in a bookstore caught in the tube door gotta get home
Crowd roar hand clap last lap get ready get set go

Every little thing that happens in the world
Well what am I going to do about that?
Every little thing that happens in the world
I’ll never get this baby to sleep tonight

Factory mechanical industrial festival of noise and light
Lorry in a quarry and a digger on a busy construction site
Gameplay workday weekend then go out at night
Fast food slow dance quick step hold stance stop and wait
Sleep wake walk run fly swim not done yet no no
Bell ring phone call that’s alarm time set

Rustling breathing laughing crying
Switching clicking throwing catching dynamite
Non-stop television cinematic stimulating appetite

Every little thing that happens in the world
Well what am I going to do about that?
Every little thing that happens in the world
I’ll never get this baby to sleep tonight

This moment we all go schtum
Just the breeze and a faint distant hum
Hmmmmm

Heart pumping finger clicking motor running got a meeting ten past nine
Wake up water washing coffee eating croissant think I’m cutting it fine
Listen to the audio and watching through the video explaining all
They’re all afraid I might switch off

Every little thing that happens in the world
Well what am I going to do about that?
Every little thing that happens in the world
I’ll never get this baby to sleep tonight

Esgazette is an independent recording project that has been active since the 1980s. It began in London and is now based in Scotland. At the same time both a band with songs and an extensive catalogue of instrumentals. While broadly described as alternative electronic, there is no musical plan for Esgazette. So you may find a pop song next to a piece of musique concrète. Good luck. ... more
