about

In which one of our protagonists pays a visit to the solitary one, and attempts to persuade him to re-join the group.

lyrics

This isn’t how we planned it,
Not something we could predict,
This isn’t how we expected to live,
Or the lifestyle we would have picked,
But these are the cards life dealt us,
So we’ll play them as we can,
And I know we’ll be much stronger,
Side by side and hand in hand.

I know it’s never easy,
Admitting when you’re wrong,
But really, let’s be honest,
Is this where you belong?
Now, I’m sure you’re very happy,
On your little plot of land,
But wouldn’t you feel much better by far,
Side by side and hand in hand?
Metaphorically.

If you only knew,
All the good you could do,
Then maybe you’d come through Gary!
And you can start by owning up to your deficiencies,
Instead of cowering away from your responsibilities.

So come on, don’t be a stranger,
Don’t hide away and quit,
You need us as much as we need you,
Only you’re too proud to admit it.
This life in isolation
Must be so dull and bland,
You’ll find the grass is greener,
Side by side and hand in hand,

Side by side and hand in hand,
You’ll find the grass is greener by far,
Side by side and hand in hand.
Metaphorically.
