about
A song of contrasts, with male and female vocals alternating between verses and choruses and the dynamics in the music creating the light motif. The journey ends in despair, as all good tragedies usually do.
"Fifteen hundred thousand pieces on the ground"
This song was first recorded as a demo in 1993 but not properly recorded until it's inclusion in the double album "Getting Off At Redfern" some 16 years later.

lyrics
FIFTEEN HUNDRED THOUSAND PIECES
(Copyright 1993 Rob Bender)
1. Wait outside, with the motor on,
Take a drive, in the evening sun,
Fifteen hundred thousand pieces on the ground.
CH.
Too late, she's about to just get,
Some ways, from the place where we met
Over here, and over there
Time to make some time, for another story
Far away from now, misery to glory over here . . .
She's over there
2. Haven't I, seen this place before?
Haven't I, touched your face and thought?
It's not easy and it wasn't in the plan.
CH. RPT
