about

So Long Shadowman is a brand new song to prove we can still do it, don’t live completely in the past and ain’t lost it completely. The subject matter is pretty much the same as Profits Of Old, the mood entirely different. You have to keep it real in these fake times…no-one else can do it for you…”keep keeping on, the struggle is endless” and rise above “these half-lives in this shadow land”

lyrics

I am all that glitters
You prefer bullshitters
Conformists, yes men, clones
To decorate your comfort zone

So long Shadow Man
I don’t think I can
Live like other men’s
Half lives in this shadowland

Here I dream of new extremes
Out of time it seems

So long Sad Old Man
I don’t think I can
Live lives like other men’s
Half lives in this shattered land

So long, can’t go, won’t go…must go on…
One footstep, another last breath…
Been alone so long
Stranded in my own mess

So long sad old man
I don’t think I can
Tell lies like other men
So long shadowland.
