lyrics

Wondering these streets of this town
I tried to talk, he walked away

One of the many lost souls
Man on the bridge
Whats he talking about
Man on the bridge

I tried to talk, he walked away
Staring horizon, the old canal path

I tried to talk he walked away
Where did he used to live
That man on the bridge
Sandals in the rain
To Murray John heights
The man on the bridge

Looking over the land
To a hive of activity
My old playground

Walking constantly, pacing
Now he can hardly speak

I tried to talk he walked away
Where did he come from
Man on the bridge
I tried to talk he walked away
Where does he live
That man on the bridge

Looking over the land
Looking over the land
Looking over the land

Steve Shafer of The Duff Guide to 2 Tone sums it up better than I ever could: "The fantastic resulting album is highly evocative, full of atmospheric soundscapes and cinematic visions that exists somewhere in the realm of The Specials' More Specials, The Special AKA's In the Studio, Massive Attack vs. Mad Professor's No Protection, Megative's debut, and Rhoda Dakar's Lotek Four releases."
