Tom Hipps: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This is a song about people who talk the talk but don't walk the walk (and I've been as guilty of this as anyone). A good guitar solo by my friend Phil Rundle.

Is your vertical love in line
Or is your mindset horizontal
Do you have to tilt your head to understand
Set your charm on "radiate"
Pile your goodies on my plate
But I don't want to look below the surface

Sending signals out to space
It's a shame no one receives them
While those shallow minded thoughts surround your head
Take a stab at what is real
Maybe then you'll start to feel
A kind of pulmonary twitch inside you
An illusion reaching out to guide you

Get the truth and never sell it
Love the truth and always tell it
It's gaining on you now

When you're ready to arrive
Then I'll be glad to come and get you
Just be sure that you're not wasting all my time
If what's missing is the point
Then you're just stinking up the joint
And I don't want to look below the surface
I'm not killing time below the surface
I'm afraid to look below the surface
