Nowhere Fast Lyrics by Swingin’ Utters

Drowning in the Sea, Rising with the Sun: Best of Swingin’ Utters

1996

[Verse 1]
I've crossed this road before
For many years, I'm sure
Don't recognize the faces, though
That pass me by, I've been
Off and on my way again
Passed Marsh Road, Atherton
Black Mountain Way
And bored stale houses on the yellowed plains

[Chorus]
I'm going off again
And for no good reason
Year by year, I've achieved some feeling
That this time might lead to nowhere fast

[Verse 2]
I've seen the lot of them
From queens to journeymen
Bigots and confidants
Spoken to and laughed with
Destructive catalysts
Professionals and loyalists
Punk rock pop nihilists
Have grown up amongst suburban architects and

[Chorus]
I'm going off again
And for no good reason
Year by year, I've achieved some feeling
That this time might lead to nowhere fast

[Bridge]
And who can say it was all deceiving?
Or that anybody was misled?
I'm not the one to be judging
I may not even be who I think I am

[Verse 3]
The asphalt's my burning bed
Has left me invalid
Puts me to sleep at night
In the arms of some strange no-man's-land
I'll be back by the west
I need the fucking rest
But in the meantime
These broken roads and homes ring in my head
