When we met you were down
Down the end of my way
Remember when you came 'round
And we first started to play?
We were full of ideas
Ideas came looking for us
But overcome with our fears
Our fears came looking to
Freeze my life
And melt your mind
I left my life
I left my life long love
How come we never saw what we had then?
All that went before we can have again
I missed you with me, you missed me too
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Bring it all back today
Today is where it should be
All the things that we say
Are true in all that we see
I could make up a line
A line is waiting for you
And a couple of beers
Will give me life
Cos I love my life
The life I live
I love my life
I love my life long love
Now is our yesterday of future’s past
You will remember if we make you laugh
Memories will linger where you let them be
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Cos I Love my life
The life I live
I love my life
I love my life long love
Like 'Thanks To You' and 'Little Scraps Of Paper' the origins of this song were back in the early 1990s Gregorian and lay as notes in the 'Haley/Coates' songbook for about 16 years, until it was resurected during sessions for 'The SubTles' project in 2008.
Cliff had an instrumental piece that we called "Lemon Sponge", so we took that and built a song around it, using the pretty much 10 year break we'd had from playing together as inspiration. We'd always loved songwriting together in the 90s, usually recording drunken demos late at night, and we'd missed that. This was our Life Long Love. It was good to be doing it again in the 2000s.
We recorded a basic live track in my home studio with drums, bass, guitar and vocals. The drums, which I played on this occasion, are pretty bad but I've edited them as best I can. But I've also done a little camper van demo for those who like their demos 'raw'. Music is our Life Long Love <3
