The City Was Built Around You
Captain Polaroid

There’s a boy in the mirror staring back at a man who’s determined to remain as young as his body will let him. But how long will it let him? You’ve never been able to imagine your life after the age of twenty five. A quarter of a century sounds like such a long time. You just want to stay alive. So you cut off your hair and find a new job, one that your parents won’t be ashamed of, put down that guitar - its not helping anyone. All of the people you knew have moved on while you sat in your room writing sad lonely songs. You’ve got no chance of making a difference anyway. You just want to feel alive. You’re hoping to find a book that will have the solution to questions you’ve never been able to ask, the questions that have driven you mad. But there is no such book, no movie or song that’ll fix all things you allowed to go wrong and the time you allowed to disappear behind you disappeared. You wish the city was built around you.

Lyrics by Captain Polaroid

  A Cure for Every Ailment   A Dream is a Dream is a Dream is a Lie   An Accurate Portrayal   Better Works of Fiction   Call This a Democracy?   Complete the Sequence   Dust Will Settle On This Lifeless Town   Excuse After Excuse   Familiar Routines   I Erased Myself to Make You Better, Shall We All E...   I’ve Lost Sight of the End   If You Came On Christmas Day   It Doesn’t Mean I’m Happy   Jisgsaw of Planet Earth   Just Like You   No Words Left to Explain Yourself With   On the Wall Hangs a Broken Clock   Pro Action Replay   Remote Control   Seven Days to a New You   Songs in Bad Movies   The Brightest Colour   The Things I Know   This is Part One   Until Boxing Day   When a Flawless Plan Turns Into a Masterpiece of T...   When the Calendar Comes Down   Wintertime Ending   Yes   Your Mistake Is Thinking You Have Won
