about
'General Cogs' is gritty, manic and unashamed. Written mostly in lockdown, it follows two imaginary army soldiers yearning for the life they had before, just as we found ourselves doing.
lyrics
Hey you!
Your name is General Cogs
You’ve been away for far too long
Serving the country for some cause you think is wrong
Call for comfort!
Hey you!
Used to wear pearl earrings and colourful waistcoats
Now the shells you’re hearing are enclosing your world
You sit in the corner and think about the life you could’ve had, had, had
Until it’s have, have, have
Hey you!
Your name is Sergeant Frost
Count the lives that have been lost
Don a smile to hide the shock
Then wipe the beds down
Hey you!
Used to kiss and cackle with a cup of punch
Overheated dance floor – a famous night of grunge
You walk through the cold air, looking for a way to get back in
And you know there is a way
Hey you!
Hey you!
Sergeant Frost brushes off the blood and the tears of a junkie
General Cogs wanders lost with guilt and a fear for the hungry
Guilt and a fear of the senior
Working herself into a fever
Hey you!
Your time is far from gone
When horizons clear the fog
You’ll walk to the sunrise
March until the music plays again
And you know you’ll find me there
Dreaming of that famous night
Dreaming of that famous night
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of you
Oh, that famous night
Dreaming of that famous night
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of you
