The sun is peeking in my face
I think he's really trying to say
That there's something about today
And when the sun talks you should listen
I think you really know the sort
Dolphins are gliding out to shore
Tennis rackets itching in the courts
And other such metaphors
I've been pacing for too long
I was just waiting for this song
If there was a cobweb now it's gone
If there was a concept it was wrong
The kind of day that lifts up your spirit
Not something you'd associate with physics lessons
I'm second guessing
You might be really into physics lessons
If we take back all we thought we made
'Cause maybe I was wrong and maybe we made a mistake
But that was all in my head
Now it's all in my hands
If we want to start something
I've got no fear
That was all in my head
Now it's all in my hands
If we want to start something
I've got no fear
I'm filled with reckless abandon
Edinburgh festival down in Camden
Lighting up the streets like a lantern
Whether you're a person or a panda
Leaning out windows for a gander
Your feet live happily ever sandals
Smells of summer make me stand up
The sun can lift me by my handles
And I was looking for an answer
Lost you in a crowd of dance moves
And I just never got the chance 'ta
The wind kept blowing out my candles
But it's turned into a breeze
And we're onto greener pastures
Rising up above the trees
If we fall I've got the plasters
If we take back all we thought we made
'Cause maybe I was wrong and maybe we made a mistake
But that was all in my head
Now it's all in my hands
If we want to start something
I've got no fear
That was all in my head
Now it's all in my hands
If we want to start something
I've got no fear
I was caught up in the thunder
When I just wanted to keep warm
And it seems hard to keep the patience
We all need shelter from the storm
But the skies have got so clear now
I forgot why I was lost
And i could try to force a memory
But I'm not sorry I forgot
And I have got some problems
But we haven't got the time
And if this music is a therapist
That therapist is tired
And so was I for a while
But I got my energy back
The train is firmly on the tracks
And now he's gliding through
And I don't know if you have ever felt the same
But it's not something I would recommend
It's something I would change

Gecko is a London based singer-storyteller, his playful lyrics cover the big things in life; think iPhones, Libraries & Guanabana fruit juice to name but a few.
Gecko recommends:
I've had the privilege of playing alongside Perkie many times. She writes shimmering piano ballads with a fierce punk rock spirit.
