The fifth of our sixth song battle (as legally distinct from Adam & Joe’s Song Wars was “It’s all downhill from here”.
Lyrics
When they scribble my name upon the
Score board at the end of my life
Will the good I did outweigh the bad
Or does it all cancel out?
I’ve left all my stuff to the ones who I love best
Now it’s all downhill from here
I’ve been carrying weight uphill so
Long I don’t know what it was for
Not that it really matters now I’ve
Lost all mass and cruising at speed
Does anyone know if the breaks passed the test?
‘Cos it’s all downhill from here
And now I’m floating on marshmallow
Watching the world below
Weightless, dreaming
Soon you’ll see me again
But not for a while and then
We’ll high five for ever And ever and ever and ever
If I go ‘round again I’d do it
All the same but eyes off the clock
There’s no pockets in shrouds they say so
My regrets can all flush away
I’ve done all I can
Now it’s your turn kid
‘Cause it’s all downhill It’s been such a thrill
Yes it’s all downhill from here
You’ll hear all the discussion and context for the songs in an upcoming episode of Convergence.
