    Story Behind the Song
    This was a live show, one of the last of the Virtually Acoustic Club. It was recorded on June 6th 2002 in London by David Sherwood on minidisc, and included a second guitarist Julian Copping whose sounds and touch made this song from the Peter Brown album WARM memorable and worth issuing.

    Lyrics
    2. The Secret

    I've had a secret from the day I was born
    Woke up in darkness one fine morn, yeah
    Saw myself as a parody
    Wanted to be it but it just wasn't me, no
    You might think that I'm sick in mind
    'Cause I can't leave the past behind, no
    Can't turn around look it in the face -
    Too much to bear, too high a price, yeah

    chorus
    Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
    No-one to trust in or survive
    It's a secret I just can't share
    It's mine alone, its my despair

    What would happen if anyone knew
    Would they laugh at my point of view? Would they?
    Would they put me in the machine
    Iron me out stiff and clean? Would they?
    I see myself walking down the street
    Talking to someone that I meet, yeah
    Another person, another life
    Lurking with a kitchen knife, yeah

    Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
    No-one to trust in or survive
    Cut off from life, cut off from hope
    Sliding down the slippery slope

    Need someone to give me perfect love
    Anything less just wouldn't be enough, no
    Need someone to wash away my sin
    Throw my secret in the refuse bin, yeah

    Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
    No-one to trust in or survive
    No-one to turn to when I feel pain
    Nowhere to shelter in the rain
    Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
    No-one to trust in or confide
    It's a secret I just can't share -
    It's mine alone, it's my despair
