More or Less

from Opt Out by Esgazette

lyrics

How much can a poor soul take?
test the patience of a saint
struggling here for heaven’s sake
faced with all these things to do.

Thunder booms and lightning flash
hurricane spinning ‘round
we can feel that strong wind blow
lifting from the ground…
—
Don’t everybody
that’s anybody, anybody’s guess
that’s evidently, ask anybody if they ever rest.
Don’t anybody know everybody
is more or less
no body’s body or mind in body
can take that stress.
—
I might reach my breaking point
come crashing to the ground
the straw that broke the camel’s back
the cup that overflowed.

No time to think, can’t concentrate, can’t hear a word you say
can’t take all this stuff at once, it's getting in the way.
—
Don’t everybody?
that’s anybody, anybody’s guess
that’s evidently, ask anybody if they ever rest.
Don’t anybody know everybody
is more or less?
no body’s body or mind in body
can take that stress.

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
