You're on a tightrope, direct and dangerous And you can't cope with distractions, and you can't go backwards Your objective is survival after the terms that you have set The net you make for yourself is a safety net I have spent a day walking on your wire But it's not my way, and although I tried Little things kept going wrong You're on a submarine, it's claustrophobic You're cold and blind to the journey The nets that you cast wide have caught you up inside The things that mattered all along Are not the little things that will go wrong As animated clay, I have spent a day Living life your way But little things kept going wrong But they were important to me at the time, I can tell you We could have had a paradise of poetry and sodas Instead of all these hopeful rides and bitter codas Whoever said "no man's an island" was an island In a sea of the air that separates us You have exercised your choice, you have used your voice You don't know where your little boy is And yet you can be strong Ah, but I won't go along I have stayed at your hotel, I have walked your wire I have eaten meat, but I encountered just defeat But if it works for you, that's neat Little things go wrong, little things go wrong Little things go wrong, little things keep going wrong But I feel I can be strong I have spent a day in your closet too But I couldn't stay, I am not like you Little things, they will go wrong As animated clay, I have spent a day Sucking on your straws, but the scheme had flaws Could you help me lower the television out of the window? Little things go wrong, little things go wrong Little things go wrong, little things keep going wrong Little things go wrong Is it pride or am I blind? What did I hope to find? Every path has room for one and for me things keep going wrong So they prodded me with a prong We cast our shadows as we ride, we get caught as our own nets Catch us up inside and yet we can be strong It must be nearly the end of the song Little things go wrong, little things go wrong Little things go wrong, little things keep going wrong Little things, they will go wrong We cast our shadows as we ride, we get caught as our own nets Catch us up inside And yet we can be strong

about

Limited edition CD EP from the self-appointed king and fool of the eccentronica micro-scene. Little Things Go Wrong is the second single from If Every Day Were Like This One.

The EP collects three non-album strays from John’s back-catalogue of oddities:

This is So Embarrassing – originally featured on the Caveat Emptor 2 compilation CD

Indomitable – composed for Neil and Sue Perryman’s Adventures with the Wife in Space

23% is Kiss – a reworking of a track from 1997, featuring “Rockstar Dinosaur Pirate Princess” Emmeline May. In what capacity is unclear.

“Erratic, incredible but sort of fun… the most enjoyable track I’ve heard in ages… pure pure insanity pushed into two and a half minute really mind blowing.” – Paper Champion
