Story Behind The Song
Robin says: This version TWATS the old one. Listening back, it's a real testament to the progress that Holden the Older has made in his vocal abilities and musicianship.
Song Description
Simon says: Another song from the original five solo/demo EP tracks that we reworked live and then recorded for the album. I wrote the first line in a jacuzzi in Studio City where I was living at the time. And when I think about it, at that precise moment

Lyrics
All Very Well
They say there?s billions of stars in the sky
But I only see one and I?m wondering why
They say there?s plenty more fish in the sea
My only question is which one?s for me?
Sayings are all very well
Sayings don?t tell my story at all
They say there?s nothing to worry about
But try telling that one to a drowning boy scout
Statistically speaking your chances are fine
Compared to your chances I?d rather take mine
Sayings are all very well
Sayings don?t tell my story at all
It?s not lies
This is true
Words mean nothing
Unless they mean something to you
They say that housewives have all these old tales
And little boys are made of puppy-dogs tails
And little girls are all sweetness and light
If you ask my opinion, it?s a load of old shite
Sayings are all very well
Sayings don?t tell my story at all
They say that many a truth is spoken in jest
And that Oscar Wilde always put it best
They say that beauty?s in the viewer?s eyes
Well, so very often it?s just a good disguise
Sayings are all very well
Sayings don?t tell my story at all
It?s not lies
This is true
Words mean nothing
Unless they mean something to you
