lyrics

This song came along
It’s almost wholly in my own style
It took some time
This one took a while

It don’t look like the sea
It ain’t no symphony
It don't have dirty hands
It will not be part of the weather

It’s a quote of a quote
A footnote to a footnote
So what makes me
I’m neither and I’m both

Kidding around all the time
At the risk of repeating myself

I come and go
In me as though
You might move
From room to room

A photograph of me
Taking photos of the sea
Plotting a winding path
On a decades long graph

Kidding around all the time
At the risk of repeating myself

I sit where I always sit
A bookshelf with books on it
I carted from place to place
Staring me in the face

It begins this way
Talismans of the past
It took some time
Took until the last

Kidding around all the time
At the risk of repeating myself

[instrumental]

Going forward looking back
Drifting further from
My point of start
How I miss that place

It’s 1979
I’m spraying water on
Straw coloured grass
A dead or dying lawn

Kidding around all the time
At the risk of repeating myself

It’s 1991
Curtains blow in and out
I'm in a green suit
And things are heading south

Skipping through time
It’s 1999
Another century
It was mine

Kidding around all the time
At the risk of repeating myself

Restless Leg got born in March 2012 at a backyard party. Constant gigging lent itself to lean and direct song arrangements recalling classic antipodean indie rockers such as The Go-Betweens and The Clean. RL released their self-titled debut in June 2013, follow up album 'Some Kind of Restless' in October 2017 and 'Dream Buffet' in June 2021. ... more
