about

I had breakfast in a local old-time diner. The guy next to me at the bar was sorting through the meagre contents of his wallet; I imagined his life from my small perspective. That's the song. It ends with a context which as I get nearer and nearer my demise increases in substance. We all have the same destiny, with infinite variations of fun and tragedy and everything in-between on the way!!

lyrics

BOUND FOR OBLIVION

I see you, I hear you, I sense you, even touch you
Who are you, where did you come from?
You're everywhere, you're legion

You seek food, beg a fare
You live in mud, dust, in shadows, cold
You sidewalk sleep, grateful for the central heating on the downtown floor.

And we; do we even touch our senses?
Do we know who we are, and where we're going?

It's me and you, it's us and them; it's House & Garden, it's tarp and park.
Who are you? Where did you come from? Who am I? Where am I going?

You empty your life on the counter; old tickets, past trips, none for the future;
Worn business cards; are you longing to belong? You bump me, an accident and you say sorry!
But server more concerned about me, as if you don't exist.

It's me and you, it's us and them; it's House & Garden, it's tarp and park. And
Who are you? Where did you come from; who are we? Where are we all going?

We're bound for the end of the line! We're bound for the last stop!
We're bound for journey's end! We're bound for oblivion!

webbster Toronto, Ontario

I was in a band in the UK when I was 18 - that would be 1964 when popular music that we see now was getting going strong. Subsequent years of musical inactivity ended 15 years ago and the idea of putting out my own music grew. Four years ago I put out a 4-track EP, "Passing Through", on my 70th birthday and have been working hard ever since to get "Destiny" out of my hands. Here it is!! ... more
