about

Stirring and endlessly catchy power pop single could have been a hit in 1973! Is it a desperate search for a partner, or is it an outtake from a Project Management 101 course? Define your goal, organize a plan, execute it, keep your focus, adapt to changing conditions, and close it out when you reach the end! Hmmmm.

lyrics

<chorus>
Show me a map and I’ll follow
Gimme a plan and I’ll execute
Tell me a shortcut or a long way around
Gotta be a way to get to you

<verse 1>
It’s like I’m in the winter / nothing here but snow
Walk in giant circles / I don’t even know
Didn’t I see that old / Cabin yesterday
When I was coming in / Or was I going away?

<chorus>

<verse 2>
I was so crazy / I didn’t understand
Running in a haze / Doesn’t make a plan
Gotta settle down / Gotta focus on my goal
Standing by itself / Like a flag on a pole

<chorus>
<bridge>
Don’t know where I’m going / But I know what I want
Standing here alone / I gotta get started
Someone was here before / There’s a signpost on the ground
But now the path’s a mess / There’s no-one else on it

<instrumental>

<verse 3>
Moving in the dark / Or even in the light
Don’t need any help / If I know I’m moving right
Wind in my face / Just means l have to tack
But getting near the end / Its like a rail track

<Chorus>
Repeat last line of chorus twice
