about

"'One Bit At A Time' was written just before we went to Bath for the majority of recording on the album. I quite often write Americana twinged stuff that doesn't make it into our repertoire but this one had a certain something that everyone seemed to like. It's written about an ageing rock star whose glory days are behind him and who sacrificed a lot for his 15 minutes. He's 'become tradition' a relic of another age, no longer relevant but still working the comeback trail with a handful of minor hits in the same old boots. If I play my cards right this could be me one day!!" - Adam Kidd

lyrics

One Bit At A Time

Listen up my friend I don't even understand it
That picture in your head it's never quite as they say
Dried up memories they seem to taunt me every day
Is it a symptom or disease of the comeback trail?

I've become tradition: a man from yesterday
Walking down the street with my once familiar face
This is how it goes, this is how it goes
One bit at a time, one bit at a time
One bit at a time, one bit at a time

You wear the same clothes as you did when you were much younger
Pulling on your boots each day cos you still got the hunger
Didn't look the other way, don't say I didn’t see you suffer
Just a memory and it starts to fade again

I've become tradition: a man from yesterday
Walking down the street with my once familiar face
This is how it goes, this is how it goes
One bit at a time, one bit at a time
One bit at a time, one bit at a time

They say you didn't suffer long
Must say that doesn’t comfort none
You're gone and that's just how it goes

I've become tradition: a man from yesterday
Walking down the street with my once familiar face
This is how it goes, this is how it goes
One bit at a time, one bit at a time
One bit at a time, one bit at a time
