Indecision

it’s a story about procrastination, agoraphobia, the difficulty of making decisions, letting life pass by, fear of making mistakes, wasting time. While telling yourself everything is OK.

The melody comes from one of the first songs I wrote and sets the template for the type of recurring melodies that I favour. It was originally a lullaby performed with an acoustic guitar, then I updated it with a kind of 60s, Simon Dee vibe. I resurrected it again for Voicex with more of a pop-rock arrangement, and this is the same arrangement, more or less.

One day I’ll make my mind up and walk out the door

Living with indecision can get to be a bore

Can’t help but get the feeling I’ve been here before

If I could made a clock with no hands on its face

Maybe I’d write the history of time and space

No-one would ever read it, it’s locked in my case

Verse

Look out across the new world

They’re getting things done

Think I’ll go pack my suitcase and

Lie in the sun

I know it looks relaxing but I’m on the run

Find out and then you move on

A there’s nothing to see

Looking beneath the surface

The blankness of me

Feels like I’m separated by all six degrees

Chorus

Ten past ten I feel the morning rush

And there’s so much to do I need to make a move

Half past twelve there are so many big

Decisions made but now I start to feel confused

Need a system to prioritize but now it’s 3 pm I should be out the door

Suddenly it’s dark the day is gone and I’m still sitting watching shadows crossing the floor

Yesterday once more

Even the score

Wish that I’d done more

Verse

Briskly I put my make up on

Might change my mind

Are these the seasons colours

I’ve lost all track of time

Listen to all this music

And hope to hear something I like
