WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN

20 January 1987

Words and Lyrics copyrighted Stuart William Hagan© & Bill Sutter©

E                       A

A music in my head

E                                     A

Makes me search many towns

E                             A

I’ve lived in many dirt streets

E                                          A

But each town brought me down

I’ve followed the paths of dreams

Each rainbow blew away

Each horizon brings new distance

My foundations begin to sway

CHORUS

E                        A                 B

Waiting for something to happen

Ah-ah, Mmm mmm

I tried jobs to find my place

I worked hard for many years

The sweat came, even from my brain

And the boredom only brought me tears

My love searched for an open heart

I looked hard to find a girl

But blood boiled in the heartbreaks

And I had to find new worlds

CHORUS

E                        A                 B

Waiting for something to happen

Ah-ah, Mmm mmm

I tried drugs to light my mind

The sorcery of modern man

My world became screaming colours

And I almost died in my brain cell

Then god came and asked for me

He said, “Son, what’s the game you’re playing?”

I told him that, “I was lost!”

And he told me, “Look again!”

CHORUS

E                        A                 B

Waiting for something to happen

Ah-ah, Mmm mmm

So here now, comes a new town

Let’s see what it offers me

Will I always seek horizons?

Or will I find a place for me
