Pavement (feat. Ruth Deal)

Description

PAVEMENT was originally recorded in the late 90s as part of Vince and Ruth’s recording project Idiosync. In 2020, Vince dusted off the original tracks and, keeping only the original vocal, re-recorded the whole thing top-to-bottom – reflecting both where his current muse lies, and also his original vision/hopes for an anthemic Britpop prayer.

PAVEMENT

Give us Pavement
Give us solid ground beneath our feet
Give us certainty
Give us all the food that we can eat
Give us shelter
A chance to get some sleep
Give us all this
and we will bring our dreams

All at once my confidence
seems
I look inside, I look within
to see where it’s gone
You, you say, “Take a lean on me”
You say, “Just relax and breathe”

Give us Pavement
Give us solid ground beneath our feet
Give us certainty
Give us all the food that we can eat
Give us shelter
A chance to get some sleep
Give us all this
and we will bring our dreams

Don’t you know the time has come
when we can sing our song
Take it out of here
Don’t you know the time has come
when we build our dreams on
Strength and not on fear

Give us Pavement
Give us solid ground beneath our feet
Give us certainty
Give us all the food that we can eat
Give us shelter
A chance to get some sleep
Give us all this
and we will bring our dreams

Give us all this
and we will bring our dreams
