Verse 1
Will we just keep on going 'til they say stop?
cos when I start to question you'll say that's enough
well I've been digging lately
and shit don't add up
but we just keep on going on
yeah we just keep on going on
pre-hook
from one thing until it's another
it's profitable when we suffer
get us to turn on each other
flip the story to cover-up
so we do not discover
the lies I guess I look crazy
my lover keeps tell me 'baby, give it a rest don't make me
question the system that made me
look in the mirror and not see it
chorus
like a yoyo
I know and then I don't know
and the green grass keeps calling me
verse 2
I'm thankful for my sisters
who let me vent
about this dream to live off grid
grow my own veg
trade my iPhone for a brick though
I just need texts
think that will keep me going
yeah that will keep me going
pre-hook
I would wake up with the sunrise
give thanks for freedom of mind
learn Erykah's 'next lifetime' on my guitar, I got time
read 'the bell jar', I might cry
in a good way for once
it's a good thing because
I'm free to live like I really want
no more agendas being pushed to the front
of my eyes, my mind
chorus
outro
like a yoyo
I know and then I don't know
I'm sure and then I'm not sure
but the only thing I'm sure of is
I'm gonna runaway
and build a tiny house
it will be rent free
I'll build a community
we'll make our own clothes
there won't be a TV
we will think freely
do you wanna come with me?

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

A special, special talent.
The music and melody Cleo Sol is so healing to me.
Her music is inviting, and her spirit is receiving.
