We're Away by Bergman published on 2011-08-18T19:31:30Z Recordings: July-Aug 2011 NW1 London We're Away Dicken's down the Arts Club I'm scrambling for a meal a sixpence in my pocket and an orange to peel rambling to the National Portrait Gallery at least these fine people are looking back at me I never knew the different shades of blue until I met her I bet my money on horses gone astray thought I'd never live to see the day ...and we're away she says no manual needed she says I'm son of Zeus I'm clearly laid out and I'm easy to use she says I'm like pocket change very good to have when you're underground when you're in a cab I never knew the different shades of blue until I met her I bet my money on horses gone astray thought I'd never live to see the day ...and we're away we live under the bridges no Big Issue for us I'm just a rockingfella she's just a rockchild let's hitch hike down to solstice let's watch the Stonehenge but I tell you if it's raining it could be tense I never knew the different shades of blue until I met her I bet my money on horses gone astray thought I'd never live to see the day ...and we're away don't you leave no footprints in the sand before you nick the pedalo before it's gone out of hand Wilde's down at Kettner's Mrs Langtry lay slain Jarvis's down at Sheekey's with Charlie and Mary Jane the youth are out there on a shopping spree Big Society just another brand the youth stole away come on honey bring the toothbrush ...and we're away she's my girl curl after curl we've got nothing to live on except the luxury of caring for one another do you concur? see the joy it brings to me to care for her! the newspaperman sucks his thumb has run out of bread crumbs I keep my mouth shut for reasons on my own stuck without my mobile I can't get through to her ...she's gone away the moral of this story the moral of this tale always down your pint before it's going stale never leave your dog for that house across the street keep you All Stars on to avoid stinky feet I never knew the different shades of blue until I met her I bet my money on horses gone astray thought I'd never leave ...and we're away Genre Singer/songwriter Comment by Oorlab fine breezy song, singng and guitar ace - highly recommended 2022-11-24T22:46:23Z Comment by Maedlkarin just grand 2014-01-21T22:23:47Z Comment by Richard Allen hehe cool tune 2012-06-20T20:47:10Z Comment by Broker Jonathan that galloping rhythm is unmistakable - but there's throwbacks to early Dylan stuff here too. Humdinger ... folksinger. Brilliant, man! 2012-03-19T01:46:04Z Comment by ScottJenx This of course remains a masterpiece of lyrical whimsey. The meter inspired the speed of my "Always Sunday" chorus. So many subjects, so little time. I still wish this song was an hour long. Of course you'd need a break when doing it live. But would still be so worth it. 2012-02-27T23:16:55Z Comment by Dave McKeown the lost track from Blood on the Tracks perhaps? just love that feel 2012-01-04T19:15:33Z Comment by Tajdar Junaid Very beautiful songwriting ! and hey...great band ! 2011-12-22T17:26:49Z Comment by ScottJenx This song is one of my all time favorite movies. Such great imagery. I never get tired of hearing this. 2011-12-15T21:53:11Z Comment by Bergman @sunnidayz: Ha ha thanks Sunnnidayz! You certainly do in your great lyrics! 2011-10-14T19:22:01Z Comment by Silo Hill digging the dylan feel =] 2011-10-12T23:06:20Z Comment by PeterLehndorff Love everything about this. The drums remind me of a song by the late Bill Morrissey (great american writer) called Long Gone. 2011-09-25T01:25:31Z Comment by Hugh Doolan 'Bergman on the Tracks' ;-) fab 2011-09-09T10:54:27Z Comment by Bergman @anthonygreentree: wow anthony that's nice to hear. i thank thee! 2011-09-07T17:45:00Z Comment by Carolyn Burnette wonderful song! :)))) 2011-09-06T23:44:29Z Comment by EllenVate Harmonica - YEAH!!! :) 2011-09-04T16:55:51Z Comment by Taco Land excellent 2011-08-31T17:17:10Z Comment by G.

Hard to sit still and write this. 2011-08-27T14:45:54Z Comment by Idle Reign cool upbeat track, very nicely composed, dylanesque vocal and mouth organ 2011-08-27T10:07:38Z Comment by troubledolls loving those drums. this track has a great loose rambling feel. 2011-08-27T02:13:41Z Comment by The Sandman's Orchestra this is great, like vintage Dylan with a modern twist, love it ! 2011-08-23T20:23:25Z Comment by Chris Demkow I must have listened to this about 20 times by now...if this represents your summer travels and experiences then...you've had a great one! What a fun little ditty... such a great "trot' to it... very reminecent of World Party! I absolutely love the tune and the exeptional lyrics...what fun. Though we are both aware that you are capable of drawing tears...these are tears of pure joy! Awesome effort for the end of a beautiful summer...Cheers friend... To the coming Autumn and more of these! :) 2011-08-22T20:02:22Z Comment by ingrid.h Great lyric and the way you sing it. Ilove the tempo in the melody,and sure it´s like Dylan in some part, but I think it´s your own style. good work!! 2011-08-21T06:46:05Z Comment by Marco Manfredi Acoustic reminds me of Bob Dylan.. interesting and soulful. :) 2011-08-20T15:04:23Z Comment by The Vineland I don't know, first you do a song with whistling (which I hate) in it, and I love it, and now you do same with harmonica. Also love way electric guitar adds body to the song. I'd prefer the 4:30 radio edit though :-) 2011-08-20T10:24:48Z Comment by Pat.E Nice on Bergman. This is a song that Bob Dylan could have done, but maybe not as good as you. Excellent stuff! 2011-08-20T01:10:44Z Comment by ScottJenx Hell YEAH! We're Away!!!! I feel like hopping on a stray horse to see where it goes, either way, We're Away! Lyrical Masterpiece my friend. Awesome. Bloody genius. New favorite. 2011-08-19T18:11:03Z Comment by Bergman @sunnidayz: I surely do! ;-) 2011-08-19T17:20:11Z Comment by Bergman @sunnidayz: cool! ;-) 2011-08-19T17:12:32Z
