about

An early morning vision...

lyrics

Six o’clock in the morning and I’m out walking
Going downtown; there’s nothing better to do
The sun is rising above the hills
Mount Vic’s streets are still empty and cold
It’s a grey Sunday; it’s a cold day

Going down the hillside from Mount Vic
I turn away from Oriental Bay
In Courtenay Place the streets are being swept
The odd shaky drunk still staggers away
They’ve been out drinking all night long

And it’s written right there on their faces
They’ve survived the night and through to the day
It’s a new day; it’s the next day

You appear on the cusp of the morning
You come out of a side doorway
In a dark and dingy alleyway
Your hair is flaming red and your eyes are ablaze
Your hips sway in a self-assured swagger
They’ve been busy all night
Swaying, shaking, and moving around

You’ve been up all night through to the dawn
You know exactly what you’re doing
And you don’t mind, coz you’re in control
You’re in control, you’re in control

No one else but you is in control
No one else but you is in control
I watch you with your self-assured stroll

You own that alley
Like you own your life
Like you own your body
Like you own your soul
It doesn’t matter what they think of you
It doesn’t matter what they say
None of it’ll ever get through to you
Because you’re in control
