2-Sixes - Colin Newman

Incidentally it works so easily

A matter of what restrains, a matter of what delays

Everything which changes time, all things which move in lines

In between this it comes so quickly

A motion of those gears, the boredom and the fears

That all things are constrained by, all things which live or die

And yet it seems so easy

Anything is possible, it’s a matter of decision

Of all things which change in time, and all things which move in lines

The safest choice may not be the wisest, but who is to judge in this?

Who can decide, who can know best?

And all things must function under the constraints of what went before

So let’s dance and forget who we think we are

Let’s romance and find out who we really are

And all things that function under the constraints of what went before

May not be the only possibilities, there’s always a chance

Of something new, of something that hasn’t happened

In a long time, in a long time
