Story Behind The Song

The song was written with this view of life in mind. Life is sometimes better to be approached with one direction, rather than looking back and changing your mind because of past experience.

Song Description

lighthearted look at the path chosen through life . This girl knows where she's going in life and wants to let you know it, but she's tempted to stray off the path sometimes when it gets too hard. She wants to take you with her on the right path.

Lyrics

Sleek Middle Distance

Verse 1

Some places ? you know where you?re going to
You run a risk ? but it can work for you (It can work for you)
And my friends say ? ?hey girl ? where are you heading to??
Well I?ll tell you ? yes I?ll tell you

Chorus
It?s called my sleek middle distance
That?s where I?m heading
No point in travelling any other direction
Going forwards, backwards
Forwards and backwards
I?d never get anywhere

Verse 2
Old faces ? well what are you gonna do?
See I got my own way through life ?
I know where I?m travelling to (know where I?m heading to)
Oh my good friend ? well - hey what about you?
What about you? ? Shall I tell you

Chorus
You gotta ride my sleek middle distance
That?s where I?m heading
No point in travelling any other direction
Going forwards, backwards
Forwards and backwards
I?d never get anywhere

Bridge
Sometimes I can?t help crying out
It can get too much ? I?ve got to get out
? got to scream and shout
? Keep cryin?
? Keep cryin?

Chorus
You gotta ride my sleek middle distance
That?s where I?m heading
No point in travelling any other direction
Going forwards, backwards
Forwards and backwards
I?d never get anywhere

You?ll never get anywhere
? Keep cryin?
? Keep cryin?
