Lyrics The great procrastinator Stornoway

 420

The great procrastinator


bound for somewhere down the road
with a heavy load on this ever-racing mind
too much cooking on my stove
i've stewed myself a traffic jam inside

and there's a junction up ahead, i'm trying to read the signs
but this traffic's made me blind
and i'm a scientist with far too many metaphors
and far too little data to conclude in time

and you, you are the indecision maker
you, you are the path unknown
and i, i am the great procrastinator
pondering my way home

i've been busy as a beaver
and i'll be damned if i don't ease the flow
my big fish'll pass me by
if i don't make my mind up damn pronto

so i took a hike on offa's dyke
with a song stuck in my head and a blister on my toe
i left my baggage on the bed
brought my cobwebs into england, they must blow

and you, you are the mystery tour enlister
you, you are the sights untold
and i, i am the great procrastinator
stalling in the road

and you, you are the problem instigator
you, you are the cryptic code
and i, i am the great procrastinator
puzzling on my own

oh i, i am the great procrastinator
squandering chances as i roam
i am the great procrastinator
pondering my way home

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE GREAT PROCRASTINATOR of STORNOWAY is also present in the album Tales from terra firma (2013)
