	Story Behind the Song We Played a gig in Newcastle, where Iain had lived prior to comming to London. The gig was with another band the drummer of which used to play in a band with Iain. As the day wore on Iain got more and more pissed and enjoyed catching up with old friends. By the time we took the stage he was pretty legless and abused the audience throughout the set. Marc had taped the gig and gave Iain a tape of it so he could relive the moment and hear for himself what an arsehole he'd been. To put it succintly the song is about the affects of being unable to control ones substance abuse, in Iain's case on that night alcohol. Lyrics It occurs to me That this world is a very dark place And the only light that can save us Is the light that comes from my hole I was killed by my own evil twin On a balmy summer's evening As the lights twinkled at the poolside bar They formed a tunnel And I followed it right to the end And I heard a voice Larger than life itself It seemed to take a physical form There were waves on the water And I walked across them And the lights went out And I could no longer hear a thing And I buried myself Beneath a great tree In the middle of an island In the middle of a lake In a valley far away Where a pinnacle to a mountain Is the only pointer to my headstone So don't even think of looking for me No search parties, no vigilantes There's nothing more to see So move along I've been ground back to the earth That I came from (© Iain Murdoch 2002)
