Name: The World Push
Duration: P00H05M12S
Description: This is a down and out song. But I am not victimising myself in it at all. It is about realising how fragile a being can be and the frustrations that go hand in hand with day to day living. It seems in retrospect to have almost been a premonition of what was to come... with Cath's death waiting there in the not too distant future. It's does make me sad but ironically it is about finding strength.

This is a down and out song. But I am not victimising myself in it at all. It is about realising how fragile a being can be and the frustrations that go hand in hand with day to day living. It seems in retrospect to have almost been a premonition of what was to come... with Cath's death waiting there in the not too distant future. It's does make me sad but ironically it is about finding strength.

lyrics

"When the world push got me down, you gave me strength I never had before. Whenever I was down and out, you were the one thing in my life that was worth waiting for. Your love kept me holding on..."
