lyrics

Tomorrow’s another day
Another way to spend your pay
Life-hood depends upon closing eyes and sleepy thoughts

I’m feeling tired and weary
Need somewhere to lay my head
I ache and my body’s fragile and my bones feel kind of dead
Kind of dead

Night time deepens
There’s less for me to see
Quietness descends the place as I switch off my TV

My hands on a cup of cocoa and
Reflect on the passing day
“Good night, dear… no snoring, please, I want to be well away
Well away
Well away
Well away”

Close your eyes…
What’s your fantasy?... What’s my name?... What’s your favourite colour?... You know I like the brainy types… You’re a genius… I think I have something you’ll enjoy over at my house… Open wide… We’re really have to get together more often… Promise me we’ll do this every day… I’ve heard it’s good for your hair…

Cosh or dosh, Cosh or dosh (repeat and fade)
I’m your friendly tax inspector… Yes, What do you want?... This… is your final demand… Demand all you want…
I’m going to the dentist... I’m going to the dentist… (repeat and fade)
A little wider please… You won’t feel a thing… There, told you so… and again, please… Stop being a baby… There you are, Mr Birdsall, all done…
Could you just pay at the desk… Pay at the desk (repeat and fade)

Tomorrow’s another day
Another way to spend your pay
Life-hood depends upon closing eyes and sleepy thoughts

I open my eyes to be transformed
Into a living world
I’m looking up at the ceiling and breathing in the air
In the air

I’m outside of the nightmare
My Id has in for me
My wife is quite certain that all I need is a cup of tea

So I get up and I tell her
That I ran a gauntlet of death
She laughs, “Now dear, don’t be silly. The things you get in your head!
In your head
In your head
In your head”

(repeat and fade)

A little wider please… You won’t feel a thing… There, told you so…

Whilst delivering well crafted music, unless you focus on the lyrics, you could miss the story lines. This is the last of the war trilogy, so subtle ,but so poignant. Superb music with broken road and Holding On ,on permanent repeat. Listen and become enthralled. Top quality song writing and musicianship.10/10 kzra

Forsaken Innocence

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli
