about

Inspired by a road sign in Polbathic, Cornwall

lyrics

Drifting through the dappled shade
Of a tree-lined lane on a summer’s day
Coasting on my own sweet way

Who can say when this will end?
Who knows what life will send?
But I'm speeding hard towards the coming bend

Pretending it’s strength of mind
I'm ignoring all the signs
As I’m speeding hard toward the coming bend
Pretending it’s strength of mind
I'm ignoring all the signs
As I’m speeding

I can’t say I have a choice
I’m singing while I have a voice
But I'm speeding hard toward the coming bend

Pretending it’s strength of mind
I'm ignoring all the signs
As I’m speeding hard toward the coming bend
Pretending it’s strength of mind
I'm ignoring all the signs
As I’m speeding

Maybe that it's time to stop
I’m not sure I'd survive the shock
I need the speed and the wind rush in my hair

Who can say when it will end?
Who knows what life will send?
But I'm speeding, I’m speeding, I’m speeding, I’m speeding
