about

Inspired by The Coincidence Engine, by Sam Leith, who also kindly sponsored the recording of this song.

lyrics

I want to laugh but I don’t know how to laugh
I’m trying hard but I’m caught up in the past
Knock knocking
Knock knocking
I’d open the door to you

I’ve seen it all before and I know what I should do
It’s not my imagination, I hear
Knock knocking
Knock knocking
I’d open the door to you

Can’t think what it would be
To think about us see
No expectations of you
Or anything at all

Knock knocking
Knock knocking
I’d open the door to you

My actions are loud, much louder than my thoughts
My mind won’t tell me that I could go to court
I hear knock knocking
Knock knocking
I’d open the door to you

They say it’s all to do with chance, anticipation, circumstance
I hear knock knocking
Knock knocking
I’d open the door to you

Clarinet

I learnt how to cry a long long time ago
It’s part of me to let the tears flow
