about

That time in your life when you realise you have been unaware. Lost minutes on a car journey, daydreaming and erewhon.
Previously released on the album Fallout by Roy Weard and Last Post but, when Nick Pynn guested on violin at a live gig we knew we had to re-record it.

lyrics

Blank Moments

It's like staring out the window on a late night tube
The pattern slowly changes but you're not sure if it moves
All alone and all exhausted but you haven't got a thing
Somewhere in your head an alarm bell rings

Blank moments
They torment
Blank moments
Waste away your life

You've been driving through the city, but you don't recall the road
Now with a jolt you wake up, 'cause the truck ahead just slowed
You've just come fifteen miles with your eyes blank and dead
And it hasn't left a trace of memory in your head

Blank moments
They torment
Blank moments
Waste away your life

I've been staring at this paper with a pen clasped in my hand
Now it's covered with my spider scrawl I barely understand
So I read it through and sign my sign with deft accomplishment
Was it me who crossed the T or was it one of them

Blank moments
They torment
Blank moments
Waste away your life
