about

A fun little song about a really fun day that was all too brief!

lyrics

Vs1
We booked a ride into town
To set the record straight
We met in the early morning
Each with a briefcase of slate
We agreed it was all in jest
Significance enjoyed by none
By the time the end came around
It was lost to all but one

Chorus
For the briefest moment
We did what we said we’d do
For the briefest moment
We became the few

Vs2
The sun burnt down all day
We talked and felt the same
We all had a say in
What to do when the time came
Meanwhile, in the smallest room
Sat eleven men
I remember this so well ‘cos
One of them was my friend

Chorus
For the briefest moment
We did what we said we’d do
For the briefest moment
We became the few

Vs3
There were so many strangers
Staring me in the eye
And it became my place
To give them all a reason why
The air was so close
And great had been the cost
For a time we stood on top
And then the moment was lost

Chorus (extended)
For the briefest moment
We did what we said we’d do
For the briefest moment
We became the few
For the briefest moment
Untold tales came true
For the briefest moment
The otherside came into view

With music that combines 5 part harmonies with swing jazz rhythms and pounding oompa beats, for 7 years they've been filling dance floors & festival tents across the UK.
