Losing my momentum
While out cycling today, as I went up yet another hill, I started humming “losing my momentum” to the tune of R.E.M.’s ‘Losing my Religion’. Here’s the full set of lyrics:
Thiiiis hill, is bigger,
Is bigger than you,
Than you, had told me.
The lengths I have to go to,
The distance up the side.
Oh no, my legs are mush,
I can’t get up.That’s me on the uphill.
That’s me on the hill-side,
Losing my momentum,
Trying to keep, up, with you,
And I don’t know if I can do it.
Oh no, my legs are mush,
I am not fast enough.
I thought that I had the stre-ength.
I thought that I could keep up.
I think I thought I had to try.Every meter,
Up every bloody meter,
I’m losing my momentum.
Trying to keep up with you,
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool.Oh no, my legs are mush,
I can’t get up.
Abandon this.
Abandon this.
The hill of enormity,
Abandon this
The hill, that brought me,
To my knees, Failed.
Why does all this gravity, hold
Me to the ground.
Now, I’ve hurt, too much
I thought that I had the stre-ength.
I thought that I could keep up.
I think I thought I had to try.But that was just a dream.
That was just a dream.That’s me on the uphill.
That’s me on the hill-side,
Losing my momentum,
Trying to keep, up, with you,
And I don’t know if I can do it.
Oh no, my legs are mush,
I am not fast enough.
I thought that I had the stre-ength.
I thought that I could keep up.
I think I thought I had to try.But that was just a dream.
Try, cry, why, try?
That was just a dream.
Just a dream, just a dream.
Dream.
Apologies to Michael Stipe for ruining his great song.
