about

The fiery blues tune "Something to Help You Along" evokes a bit more fun as Lightholder admits that vice is, perhaps, a natural tendency.

lyrics

No one would blame you,
We’ve all gone a little wrong.
Sometimes you just need
Something to help you along.

A new thought:
They don’t get you.
How could they understand?
The things they said,
None of it matters;
Nonsense & clatter.
Time to get a new plan.

All it takes is a decision,
And we can start right now:
A brand new beginning,
And soon we’ll be winning,
And nothing from before will count.

No one would blame you,
We’ve all gone a little wrong.
Sometimes you just need
Something to help you along.

This will be the last time,
Then we can finally move on.
They shouldn’t always try to control you;
No one should tell you that you're wrong.

There’s a fire in your throat:
You’re choking on the relief.
But, by god, now that’s got it
You know that you’ve caught it
And now you finally can breathe.

Ah, breathe
Breathe sweet relief
Breathe
Breathe that sweet relief

No one would blame you,
We’ve all gone a little wrong.
