Different Story

So this song sees the Top’s rockin’ out to a song that’s looking back over a bitter sweet relationship with positive vibes for the future and an upbeat end result.

It’s strong message, is to always look for the positives even when facing negative times (like lseeking the light when all around you can seem dark) quite poignant in these times eh ?

With it’s driving Bass lines, just listen out for those awesome signature drums of Alan (did someone say Mick Fleetwood and Tusk ?) plus of course, that cowbell was always gonna’ make an appearance.

Enjoy …,,,,

lyrics

So here's a different story baby, from another life.
You held me in your pocket honey, like you hold a knife.
But that was then and this is now, there aint' no turning back.

Our love was like an outlaw honey, waiting on a train.
But since we missed the timeline baby, it won't come round again.
But that was then and this is now, there aint' no turning back.

You kept me in the darkness honey, swore that black was white.
But standing in your shadow baby, helped me see the light.
But that was then and this is now, there aint' no turning back.
But that was then and this is now, there aint' no turning back.
But that was then and this is now, there aint' no turning back.
