about

This arrangement is very nicely written by JBB’s lead-trombone player, Jussi Kosonen, who praised this as his favourite composition from my previous album. Thank you Jussi!
This peppy tune is about the strength of not giving up when delusion, disappointment, and loneliness comes into one’s life. The show must go on.

lyrics

SIX HOURS A DAY I LAY ME DOWN
WITHIN THIS TUB BUT I CANNOT DROWN
THE ICE CAP AT MY RIGID NECK
HAS SERVED TO KEEP ME WITH THE QUICK.

THIS WATER HEATED LIKE MY BLOOD
REFITS ME FOR THE TRUE AND GOOD
WITHIN THIS PRIMAL ELEMENT
THE FLESH IS WILLING TO REPENT.

INSTANTLY MY SENSES, ALL OF THEM GO NUMB
SLOWLY ALL MY SMILES WILL BECOME LIKE FROWNS
I JUST FEEL THAT I HAVE LOST MY FREEDOM
THERE IS NO MORE, NO MORE

WILL THEY EVER STOP, WILL THEY EVER CEASE
WILL THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS PAIN REAL' MEANS
TELL ME WILL IT END, WILL IT EVER FADE AWAY, AWAY?

I DO NOT LAUGH, I DO NOT CRY
WITHIN THIS TUB I AM SWEATING OUT THE WILL TO LOVE.
I DO NOT STAY, I DO NOT WAIT,
THE TIME WILL SAY IF I'LL BE ALL SO ALONE,
IF I'LL BE ALL ON MY OWN,
I'LL BE ALL BY MYSELF AGAIN.
