about

In Jan 2020 I felt that there was an urgency to get things done rather than sitting round waiting for a time when it felt right to do them. Little did I know that we were about to be plunged into 18 months of enforced inactivity.

lyrics

Do It Now

You can wait for the stars to align,
You can wait on a call from a heavenly sign.
You can wait there forever just wasting you time
And stand still.

You can wait for the path to be clear.
You can wait on the side for a chance to appear
You can wait there forever and never get near
And stand still

Chorus
But don’t think that you’ll just do it then,
Don’t think of the why’s and the where’s and the when.
Don’t think that your chance must come round again
Do It here. Do it now.

You can wait till the birds are in flight,
You can wait till the tea leaves convince you to fight.
You can wait there forever – you probably might.
And stand still.

You can wait for a year and a day.
You can hang on n hope till a dog comes to stay*.
You can wait till your dreams are a lifetime away,
And stand still.

Chorus and repeat last line to fade

*There is a Scottish superstition that it is good luck if a stray dog follows you home to you house!
