We'll Get By

about

Written and recorded in 2010



This is from the height of the Ferny Brackens days. It was my first attempt at one of those write an album in a month challenges. I didn’t get much further than this demo. But if I recall correctly I wrote it in the same session, between band practices, as Green Imagination, which did end up on my first solo album in 2013. Real productive session: got two songs released ten years apart out of it

lyrics

The car stopped running
Round about the same time as I broke down
My dishwasher started leaking
Round about the same time as I broke down

So I'm gonna get a bike and some Marigolds
I'll get by
I'll get by

The banks started sinking
Round about the same time as I broke down
The world started cooking
Round about the same time as I broke down

So I'm gonna live frugal
And I'm gonna waste any energy
I'll get by
I'll get by

My bird stopped singing
Round about the same time as I broke down
The telephone stopped ringing
Round about the same time as I broke down

So I'm gonna sing to my bird
And talk my friends face to face
We'll get by
We'll get by
We'll get by
Yeah we'll get by

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
