I just had to post this song for ye to hear. Ignore the visual.
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Walking to doTell me that a lot of these lyrics aren't just spot on!
Won't you take me where my
feet feel happy in their own time.
And the cathedral of reason lets the bells chime,
and the lightning is fine?
I'm old enough to know that
people waiting on some big sign.
Should quit their waiting on the divine.
Divine is what's in your mind.
I've seen the cruel and hard and I've seen them hard on you.
I'll buy you brand new shoes, if you cross to my side.
There's a whole lot of walking to do.
And if we're near or far from our city by the sea-side,
Well, as long as we keep our stride,
I believe we'll be fine.
You've seen the years roll on,
and you've seen me roll with you.
I see the road is long, so get on my side.
There's a whole lot of walking to do.
And if we stay on our feet we'll make it in our own time.
And though the road has got some steep climbs,
I believe we'll be fine.
From your house, to my house, to the Mews,
There's a whole lot of walking to do.
Bethnal green, to the Tube.
There's a whole lot of walking to do.
Aoyama to Shobuya
There's a whole lot of walking to do.
Rock Creek Park, to the Ave., and on past the zoo
There's a whole lot of walking, whole lot of walking to do.
And I'm here (and I'm here) and you're here and it's true.
There's a whole lot walking to do.
And you're cool (you're cool), and I'm cool, and it's true.
There's a whole lot of walking to do.
There's no fuss (no fuss!) and I trust, I trust you.
There's a whole lot of walking to do.
And you're strong (and I'm strong) and I can be, too.
There's a whole lot of walking to do.
And you do, and I do,
There's a whole lot of walking to do.
