The Smile Song [Bonus Track]

from First by Kerry Logan

/

about

Please tell me you have heard the track called 'Longest Word' first! This track is the punk response to that song, dreamt up in the studio during Cynosure's July '97 session and was recorded at full pace, complete with a beautiful scream from Julian.

[In late 2017, I made the call to bump this track to be a bonus rather than one of the proper 19 hits, due to the fact that I was gobsmacked that I hadn't included an amazing song - Hot Here With You - on the hits album. Something had to go, and it was this one. Sorry!]

lyrics

I miss what never was!
How to come to terms with the loss!
But when I felt, I wasn’t alone!
Though my dreams never came home!

It was the sweetest feel but so black!
When I pushed it for a word, it just pushed me back!
I’m pleased to see us grow!
I just thought I should let you know!

Washed, now I can resume to be!
The constant person you would have me to be!
Still I am webbed up like a Fly again!
Double one – count it up from ten!
