One step ahead
And two more left behind
All the time
For sake of argument
I'll see your side for a time
But just a time
Did anybody see
Who was in the driver's seat?
He didn't even bother to look back
I'm fish-tailed by the speed
Broad-sided by the need
Forget just what I saw in your backtrack
One's left for dead
The other stands a chance but it's slim
Oh it's slim
By this day and age
You'd think we'd know to watch the road
Oh!
Did anybody see
Who was in the driver's seat?
He didn't even bother to look back
I'm fish-tailed by the speed
Broad-sided by the need
Forget just what I saw in your backtrack

If you want my love
All that I've got is yours to have
If you've got my heart
All that I am is yours from the start
If you need someone to deceive
I will not be scared, oh no
When you seek someone to believe
I'll fall into line, I will
When you're not there
Your breath stays on the air
I'll keep it with mine
And never fail
But then you speak
In someone else's ear
I'm broken in three
Dreams unfilled
Schemes go unheard
Another one unfulfilled
Another empty thrill
An animal left still
But I won't ever leave
If you want my love
All that I've got is yours to have

I thought I'd wait
Born too late
To ever make
The hero scene
And so's my fate
Missed my time
Past my prime
It didn't take
But you can't say
This isn't mine
I'm shooting blind
You're in the way
But when you drop your pen
Your heart and head
Don't got no stage
An empty page
Let's separate
Artist from art
Heartbreak from heart
A better way
From where we start
I forgot
I didn't want
To end this way
But when you drop your guard
I ask you please
Be straight with me
Could you do better than me?
I know your place
I've seen your face
I'm on the way
It wasn't hard
I crossed the yard
In light of day
I tried the phone
But no-one's home
The door gave way
Wrote on your wall
At 10-feet tall
"We all know!
You're on your way out!
Never to be heard from again at all!"
It won't be long, not at all!

The songs of Mark Andrew Hamilton. Montréal, Québec.
woodpigeon recommends:
I was so lucky to make these songs with friends from Canada and Iceland: Laura Leif, Prins Polo, Benni Hemm Hemm, Clinton St. John and Samantha Savage Smith. We had an international adventure indeed!

A project shared between myself and Kathryn Calder, Frontperson is something I'm terribly proud of. Singing and playing with Kathryn is such a joy, and I can't wait to make our next record together.

Laura Leif is such an inspiration and also a great friend. There's few people I enjoy playing or making music with, and this album is a true beauty I keep coming back to. Love!
