Is That What It’s All About (Live)

We're gonna slow things down a little bit now and do a little acoustic set for you
Before we start though, I think I should introduce you to my band
Okay, on my far right, playing guitar, acoustic guitar at the moment, we have our new boy, Rob Harris
On my near right, on bass guitar, we have Stuart Ross
In the middle, with an orange t-shirt, we have Mark Owen
On my near left, we have our drummer, but at the moment he's on his percussion instruments, we have Peter Huntington
On my far left, again on acoustic guitar, we have Joe Ian Dixon
And now, I want some really really loud cheer
Special cheer for our keyboard player because he can't come down here and join us
So playing keys for us we have Ashley Kingsley
And this is "Is That What It's All About"

[Verse 1]
Could somebody give me an answer
A solution to fill up my space
As I take a peep out of the hole in my window
I see a land that is filled with disgrace

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now is it me, or did it used to seem better?
Now a tear grows in every man's eye
But the tear never once reached the surface
And the tree which I climbed slowly dies

[Chorus]
Is that what it's all about
Hiding our feelings away
Let the problem be that of another man
I'm living my life in this way
Far away from a troubled face
Is that what it's all about?

[Verse 2]
A cure ain't been found for my problem just yet
Behind the wrought iron gate, it is there, I bet
But the key was a caught in a fisherman's net
With a dolphin the boy wanted for his pet

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well I know I ain't getting no younger
Pretty soon I guess I'll be extinct
And all that I'll leave to remember
Is this question I paused once to think

[Chorus]
Is that what it's all about
Hiding our feelings away
Let the problem be that of another man
I'm living my life in this way
Far away from a troubled face
Is that what it's all about?

[Bridge]
Put it behind you
Turn a blind eye
Though you always know that it's there
Living your life through the line of defence
I stand for myself
Is that what it's all about?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well I know I ain't getting no younger
Pretty soon I guess I'll be extinct
And all that I'll leave to remember
Is this question I paused once to think

[Chorus]
Is that what it's all about
Is that what it's all about?
