Recorded in Rancho Deluxe, my home studio in NW London, in April 2010.
lyrics
The Competition
In the players' zone, you're not all alone -
because you walk and talk like you are on a mission..
In another time, it could be a crime -
but you are not dead, just way ahead of the competition.
You are the threat, that you can bet -
and the reason that they would down you
is it because some devil found you...
and bound you to some contract?
You're in transition and on a mission to stay ahead of the competition.
No repetition of that old superstition... just stay ahead, just stay ahead, just stay ahead of the competition.
You gotta take a chance, and steal some thunder,
get the world in a place that you can call your own.
It's never to late, to control your fate...
every broken dream becomes a place where you have shown that...
You are the threat, that you can bet -
and the reason that they would down you,
is it because some devil found you...
and bound you to some contract?
You're in transition and on a mission to stay ahead of the competition.
No repetition of that old superstition... just stay ahead, just stay ahead, just stay ahead of the competition.

Loved Bridget with Hawkwind and Spirits Burning. This is an enthusiastic collection of songs with great performances and melodic and lyrical detail to fascinate.
