about

John sings a cathartic song where he reflects on how much of his life he’s wasted on his job. He decides he’s not going to look back after taking the decision to quit. He wants a new start in life.

lyrics

The Flagging Career of A Semaphore Signaller
(Lyrics and Music: Tim Hunter)

I'm gonna take some time out
I'm gonna confront my self doubt
This time I'm gonna find out
Just what I am all about

Why are plans always derailed?
Must I sleep on beds of nails?
And run up down escalators
What am I doin' all this for?

The Flagging Career Of A Semaphore Signaller
The Flagging Career Of A Semaphore Signaller

Now I've got the time to find
Just what's goin' wrong in my mind
Wonder why was i so blind
I was only wastin' time

Running through setting concrete
I could never move my feet
Tryina prove 1 + 1 is 3
It was really destroying me

The Flagging Career Of A Semaphore Signaller
The Flagging Career Of A Semaphore Signaller

Today I lay down my flags
It is the end of The Flagging Career
Of A Semaphore Signaller
You know something? I’ll never look back
I won't miss taking all the flack
I've been cycling on square wheels
I’ve had enough of my ordeal
