Parallel Life

from The Concreter by Steve Blaque & The Raven

/

about

Parallel Life has become one of my fave songs on this volume. Written as a reaction to back n' forths between me and album designer n' good friend Levan Stanes. Really it grew out of an exchange that i just didn't seem to understand what he was talking about related his Rugby League team, and the song is as much a cheap shot against that team as it is a song of miscommunication or misunderstanding.

lyrics

Parallel universe

well i saw myself
in a parallel life
but i was powerless
to make a change
seemed that i
was doing ok
but some things
were rearranged

I woke up next morning
With you on the phone
Whining
That your team had lost
But that wasn’t the match
That I hadstreamed
Wondering what game
You had watched

Chorus
And we’re living in
Another universe
Take 57
But nothing is rehearsed
And the script says
That you know yer part
For the Harder they Fall
Starring Humphrey Bogart

Verse
So I got out of bed
And turned on the news
The anchor said
It’s April 1 but who’s a fool
And with the sky coloured green
And a star’s net worth
It was plain to see
Someone invaded earth

And this helped me
To tune on in
Coz otherwise
I’d have been hard pressed
To make any sense
Of what yu were saying’
Without
feeling, feeling stressed

Chorus
And we’re living in
Another universe
Take 57
But nothing is rehearsed
And the script says
That you know yer part
For the Harder they Fall
Starring Humphrey Bogart

Verse
well i saw myself
in a parallel life
but i was powerless
to make a change
seemed that i
was doing ok
but some things
were rearranged

Middle 8
And I’m in a parallel life
In a parallel universe
In a parallel world
And it’s all unrehearsed
Just gotta go with the flow
And make yer own mojo
It’s a brave new world
Someone invaded earth

Chorus
And we’re living in
Another universe
Take 57
But nothing is rehearsed
And the script says
That you know yer part
For the Harder they Fall
Starring Humphrey Bogart
