Simons Song
I did, I really did have a friend once. He really did play a song called 'Purists Dont Survive". The line that
says "And we played along...." isn't quite accurate because I don't think I was ever in the right place at
the right time to join in with 'Purists don't Survive'...Actually now I think about it in detail, he always played
it solo anyway... Never mind.. Hope you're still out there mate!
The phrase 'just after' in the last verse courtesy of my second home where all my best friends are. I
wish I could get to Ireland more often............ It always feels like I'm coming home.. Strange... Or maybe
not

Had a friend once
He played a song called
Purists dont survive
It says dont get hung up
on all your old time misconceptions
if you wanna stay alive
and he played it every time he got
the opportunity
I like to think sometimes
when he played
he played it for me
and we played along
to simons song
Well we traded those days
and we went seperate ways
like you do when life starts to move on
And we gave up those crazy nights
watching the locals fight
laughing and playing our songs
and I wish I knew just where the hell
all the time has gone
the years slipped away
like those rattlesnakes
but unlike the snakes now they're gone they're really gone
since we played along
to simons song
(solo/middle8)
Well it still makes me smile
all those nights on the tiles
seems like it all happened
just yesterday
and I just cant believe
that it's been half a lifetime
that's just after slipping away
but I wouldnt change a minute of it
for any other way
I know what its all about
far beyond any doubt
and thats why I'm happy to say
Goodbye Simons song..
we played along..
To simons song..
