    When a person falls from grace they don't usually land gently. Here's a bitter song for you angst ridden people out there. mortimer's finest hour.
    Credits: Bensi, Hampshire, Kent

    Story Behind the Song
    Marco and Rich were snowboarding in La Plagne, France residing in Chalet Dede when their friend James opened up a magazine and said 'Open up a magazine...' and Rich suggested they try and write a song around that. So for the next few hours Jim, Rich, Marco and another friend Orb worked on lyrics. Lena contibuted parts of the second verse.
    The main verse riff B, Bm7, E and the rockier A to F# was written there and then. This was a real team effort and the song was finished the next day.
    Rich showed it to Ben when they got back and they polished it up together.
    Matt's drums are great on this. He came up with his bits almost straight away.
    mortimer's sound is so evident here.

    Lyrics
    Open up a magazine, its your face I see
    Dressed up, made up, a fake reality.
    I read about your life, your friends, it's all for show.
    What you do, who you see and where you like to go

    It's too hard to shut you out, you're always on TV
    Turn down, turn off, it's like your watching me
    You've always talked about being a famous star
    But we both know where you've been and who you really are... who you really are..

    When your day in the sun clouds over I won't be there to shelter you
    But if there's light at the end of the tunnel why won't you let me over the wall
    That's surrounding you
    That's surrounding you
    That's surrounding you

    You're not a headline on the frontpage anymore
    Shut out, burned out, media whore
    Early morning slots are all that you can get
    If they don't see your face they'll soon forget
    Who you really are...

    When your day in the sun clouds over I won't be there to shelter you
    But if there's light at the end of the tunnel why won't you let me over the wall
    That's surrounding you
