Out Of Sight (Out Of Mind)

by Chris A.

about

Caught up in all the 'food politics' of the mid 80's, I wrote this tune. One of my own fav melodies but really needs doing better one day!

lyrics

Out Of Sight (Out Of Mind).

Top brass, they know all the answers
A higher class, think we’re all romancers
No way they’ll resort to sharing
They tell us that we must stop caring

And it seems we have no heart
Much too proud to care
As the shit hits the fan, we can only stare

Out of sight out of mind, cover your eyes
Out of sight out mind, we hear no cries

These situations never change
We scowl and frown on English rains
And watch the black boy fade and die
It’s not in me, it’s not in you
There’s such a lot that we can do
We're watching nations pray for life

And it seems we have no heart
Much too proud to care
As the shit hits the fan, we can only stare

Out of sight out mind, cover your eyes

London, ‘85 and madness
Cold hearts push away the sadness
No way they’ll resort to sharing
They tell us that we must stop caring

It’s a different world today
We work hard, they take our pay
To buy us a third world war, all their own way

And it seems we have no heart
Much too proud to care
As the shit hits the fan, we can only stare

Money for life? NO.
