about

Hearing the stories of lives that don't go to plan is like wandering through a ghost town of forgotten dreams and ambitions. Do you put your faith in an imaginary deity or do you have faith in yourself? Do the words of our favourite singers have the same significance as ancient texts? It doesn't matter what you think as long as you keep thinking.

lyrics

THANK GOD YOU'RE AN ATHEIST
(Words & Music: S.Gibson)

She said show me the sights in the city of lights
Tell me stories of the old town city nights
Fall in love with me all over again
Thank god you’re an atheist
And a thinking man

I said show me the ghost towns
Of a life gone wrong
She just shouted back lines
From a Billy Bragg song

But nostalgia’s not what it used to be
Sleeping here in this new room
We were waiting for our great leap forward
But she left the city pretty soon

I said show me the ghost towns
Of a life gone wrong
She just shouted back lines
From a Billy Bragg song

But we fell in love all over again
In the old town city nights again
And she never, ever came back again
To our forgotten city of lights again

I said show me the ghost towns
Of a life gone wrong
She just shouted back lines
From a Billy Bragg song

She said show me the sights in the city of lights
Tell me stories of the old town city nights
Fall in love with me all over again
I don’t want to change the world
But we do what we can
(Thank god you’re an atheist)
(And a thinking man)

I said show me the ghost towns
Of a life gone wrong
She just shouted back lines
From a Billy Bragg song

I said show me the ghost towns
Of a life gone wrong
She just shouted back lines
From a Billy Bragg song

From a Billy Bragg song
