“Ken Carter” is named after the Canadian stuntman who was going to jump the Saint Lawrence River on a motorcycle. Its lyrics are about feeling trapped in a relationship.
Waiting 'til I hear you
Changin', have I lost you?
It feels like I've been, it feels like I've been used
It feels like I can't, it feels like I can't choose
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
Got this feeling and I cried
Cannot move to save my pride
It feels like I can't, it feels like I can't breathe
It feels like I can't, it feels like I can't leave
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
Ken Carter was written by Dave Johnstone & Simon Hensworth & Allan Balmont.
Ken Carter was produced by Kevin Shirley.
In 1996, frontman Dave Johnstone told Billboard:
It’s a passionate song, really, definitely darker and a bit more intelligent than (the band’s first single) ‘Drugs’.
