I'm walking in dead man's shoes
All the talking is of dead man news
There's no ignoring the dead man blues
'Cause soon I'll be a dead man too
The whole world is a graveyard
For every generation gone before
All those who worked and played hard
The famous, the shameless, oppressed and ignored
I'm walking in dead man's shoes
All the talking is of dead man news
There's no ignoring the dead man blues
'Cause soon I'll be a dead man too
The world that we're born in to
The collective dream that our forebears passed on
The history that we live through
It's a moment, soon over, we're here and we're gone
I'm walking in dead man's shoes
All the talking is of dead man news
There's no ignoring the dead man blues
'Cause soon I'll be a dead man too
The boots in which I'm standing
Once shod feet that now need them no more
The room you're hearing the band in
Still echoes with those who have used it before
I'm walking in dead man's shoes
All the talking is of dead man news
There's no ignoring the dead man blues
'Cause soon I'll be a dead man too
Soon I'll be a dead man too
Soon I'll be a dead man too

From the soaring heights of fancy’s flight
To the deep and dark abyss
The highs and lows of life’s long road
Well that passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
The ecstasy and the misery
The agony and bliss
The peaks and troughs of the daily slog
Well that passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
When your cherished dreams and your best laid schemes
Are lambasted, mocked and dissed
Improvise, yeah you’ll get by
'Cause that passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
When the thing you dread looms ahead
Think fast and use your wits
Escape, evade, fight another day
'Cause that passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this
That passed and so will this

Gripper Lee Bexhill On Sea, UK
Four strings and taut skins, with big beards and big beats, Gripper Lee are a punky 2-piece from East Sussex (UK), kicking up a considerable racket with bass and drums. Not exactly in the first flush of youth, the beardy duo's lyrics tend to focus on their impending demise, albeit with wit, charm and dark humour. ... more
