lyrics

Ancient star

I wish upon an ancient star that died so long ago
That civilisations have come and gone without anyone to know
Who they were or what they did or anything profound
I wish I had the answers so I could spread them around.

I wish I wish I wish o how I wish

I wish that stressed out businessmen could do parcour in L’harve
I wish that fat Americans were forced to watch poor Africans starve and consider then just what they eat and who they eat and how
I wish I knew what Elvis was doing right now.

I wish I wish I wish o how I wish
And the world goes on… on and on and on,…on and(a) on and(a) on

I wish I was a better person constant firm and true
To a purpose serving my higher work and I wish I knew
All the answers so I could spread them all around
But I don’t even know who I am or anything profound.

I wish I wish I wish o how I wish
And the world goes on… on and on and on,…on and(a) on and(a) on
instr

I wish I was an ancient star from the movies long ago
When eyes were wide and we could hide just what we did not know with fades to black and reaction shots to something just out of sight
How I wish just one day I could do something right.

I wish I wish I wish o how I wish
And the song goes on…on and on and on,…on and(a) on and(a) on

I wish that I could find a way to end this cursed song
Coz by now I’ve realized I gone on a bit too long
Maybe I could just stop.

Ms Fi & the Lost HeadBand Edinburgh, UK

If Talking Heads went out with Blondie to a Cabaret joint in the Appalacian mountains and the resulting show was painted by Braque you might capture the sound of Ms Fi & The Lost HeadBand.

We can be been found playing to the disgruntled punters of Edinburgh surprising them with tales of wit and woes getting them thinking and tapping their toes.
