lyrics
As the seasons are changing memories are awakened
has it really been twelve years since I started skating
and breakin the law and my bones
way back before everybody had a cellullar phone
we used to hook up at the amphi even though it had no ramps
poppin ollies over puddles cause the place was always damp
a tourist attraction but we got no respect
sessioning sets of steps til our decks were wrecked
then chip in all our cash for a quarter of hash
grab a few beers chill out and just laugh
through a nut & bolt pipe is how I had my first smoke Porter blazed it first then he gave me a smoke
lying fucked at the three steps telling lots of jokes
Eddie pulled a whitie thought he was gonna boke
he didn't like the hit so he finished with the shit while I was chippin in more money for my next lil bit
Causeway Rebel
Bouncin off the treble
Causeway Rebel
Fuckin with the sound levels
Didn't realise it at the time but these were simplier days
with no sign of dismay we just wanna land tres
so much talent laying dormant in this cave of Portrush not many could see it cause they couldn't wake up well educated fools from surrounding schools
studying for a vocation in breaking the rules
we used to conspire no need for flyers or wires
we just hooked up sat down and lit a fire
and spend alil time just gettin back to nature
still thought at that time there must be a creator
for this all
and there must be a reason while I'm thinking all these thoughts and standing on this rock freezing
Causeway Rebel
Bouncin off the treble
Causeway Rebel
Fuckin with the sound levels
Now you know how it goes some things change and some dont grown up now but I still like a smoke
nearly ruined my life i've fucked a lot up on the way took an alternative root to get where i am today
an artisan with a plan to rise up and take a stand
sort my life out work hard and join a band a young face with old lungs and plenty of scars
among so many few trying to stay out of the bar
but you know what they say some habits die hard
like looking back too much judge yourself from afar done a lot of wrong but a lot more right when positives in the shadow bring it back into the light
Causeway Rebel
Bouncin off the treble
Causeway Rebel
Now fuckin with the sound levels

Thanks Rory for talking about the backround of this album. I can see various pictures while listening to this musical pearl.
For me, it is a positive sister to Eddy Vedders "Into the wild" - Album.
Thanks a lot for doing awesome music, man. Herb
