lyrics

there you go again
blaming your circumstance
on some random happenstance
when are you gonna figure out
the world doesn't work this way
the world doesn't work for pay
and you're not rich anyway

and you are not the sort
to get lower than before
but now you've lost control and
it ways on your head and shoulders down

when there's no hand to reach for
no happy go luck
when you're out-manned and detoured
can you pick yourself up
when there's no hand to reach for
can you see yourself through this hell
through this hell

there you go again
letting your hope run free
letting yourself begin to believe
when are you gonna figure out
the world doesn't want to play your games
the world doesn't' care that you've changed
the world just knows you by your name

and you are not the sort
to get lower than before
but now you've lost control and
it ways on your head and shoulders down

when there's no hand to reach for
no happy go luck
when you're out-manned and detoured
can you pick yourself up
when there's no hand to reach for
can you see yourself through this hell
through this hell

oh, you know its such a joke
to think you get control
of the way
your man
behaves on his own
its just out of your hands

and you are not the sort
to get lower than before
but now you've lost control and
it ways on your head and shoulders down

when there's no hand to reach for
no happy go luck
when you're out-manned and detoured
can you pick yourself up
when there's no hand to reach for
can you see yourself through this hell
through this hell

about

Caleb Slade Denver, Colorado

Rich melodies, lush orchestration, and soulful lyrics are the backbone of Caleb Slade's debut release, Victory In Defeat, "...in which he takes a wide-screen approach to post-Brit pop, the kind made famous by Radiohead and U2 and their numerous antecedents. Lyrically, he manages to be earnest, literate and reflective without getting mired in treacly digressions." (Dave Herrera, The Westword) ... more
