    Story Behind the Song
    Andy wrote this at work in a kitchen in London, England. He was making a tasty souffle when voracious rats appeared and demanded food or emotional fulfillment by music. Andy chose the latter and the souffle was saved.

    Lyrics
    Foreign signs on all the walls
    The people pour from shopping malls
    And looking up into the sky
    At lights that flash and rush right by

    Oh never to be mine
    You were never to be mine
    But that’s alright

    Your days of flipping coins are done
    And all the cars can stop as one
    And no one knows just where they’ll land
    In parking lots or piles of sand

    The weather here is fine
    Yeah, the weather here is fine
    So come on down, come on down

    We all feel fine and well
    The brand new thing is here
    And who can say the last is first the end is near

    (Chorus)
    I am waiting here tonight
    I am waiting here tonight
    I am waiting

    And laying back amidst the grass
    The sky is blue, the water black
    Reaching down a deep dark well
    For heavy things you tried to sell

    It all went by too fast
    Yeah it all went by too fast
    And so it goes

    The old expected things
    Are gone and best forgot
    And everyone should try to be just what they’re not

    (Chorus)

    (Solo)
