  • In the depths of despair
    I took another drink
    It soothed my mind
    And helped me to think
    Of all the places I've never been

    Down by the river
    In soulless penury
    Even the sky
    Wouldn't look at me

    I had no point
    It had no reason

    Into pockets I go
    Of my best friend's coat
    Looking for what
    I don't know

    In the depths of despair
    I had another line
    Nothing easy
    Nothing fine
    Rounds of circles all out of time

    Spinning plates unresolved
    In my best friend's coat
    Bringing bad things I know

    So, I looked to the days
    When I wasn't afraid
    And I dreamed I was there
    Once again Writer/s: Christophe Vailant, Paul Weller
