the truth

written - 1998

about - as it suggests, a form of truth and reality from life on this here planet so it is

lyrics -

the day grows old over your bones
the night digs deep into your sleep
and all you get is a salary a week

listen now if you've got a minute
keep reaching till you find your limit
if you fail it doesn't matter
cos you can only go up or down
on life's ladder

the time ticks past ever so fast
the world spins round out of design
and all you get is a memory to last

listen now if you've got a second
keep reaching until fortune beckons
if you fail it doesn't matter
cos you can only go up or down on life's ladder
on life's ladder

now you can have no excuse
cos i've just told you the truth
