Initially, Gian had played me three instrumental tracks with no melodies or words. I thought they had great potential for song possibilities so I had him put them on a cassette which I then proceeded to transfer to the Tascam 38 - 8 track reel to reel. That made it easy to overdub ideas. The other two instrumentals became : "When The Digit Fin Rebounds In Glory" and "Fantasy's Are Safer".

lyrics

NO USE WAITING AROUND

Well I used to spend a lot of time
Being patient - hoping my dreams would come true
That magic moment never did arrive
I was just getting older and lazy

There’s no use waiting around
I’ve been through this film before
When the world starts holding me down
I am up and out the door

I took a chance the day I saw her face
Right there and then I just knew I shouldn’t resist
It seemed so perfect and she said so too
But in my space she just kept on teasing

There’s no use waiting around
I’ve been through this film before
When the world starts holding me down
I am up and out the door
There’s no use waiting around

You can wait all your life - for the right person
You can wait all your life - for the right reason
Or you can spend living life like it’s the last day you’re breathing
Like it’s the last day you’re singing
Don’t catch yourself waiting around
That’s such a waste of time - such a waste of time
And time you can never get back

A sketchy line is not so hard to paint
But you erased me before the lines were drawn
I don’t know why but I can hear a voice
It is laughing and telling me deeply...

There’s no use waiting around
You’ve been through this film before
When the world starts holding you down
You can climb another floor

There’s no use waiting around
