Nothing Is Alright

from Uh, No by Sun Holes / Norm Berketa

/

about

The third track, "Nothing Is Alright" is more of a short, musical essay about stalking and identity theft. This song was also originally written and recorded in the 1980's on a Tascam 4-track analog recorder, using drum machines and synthesizers. The version on "Uh, No" was recorded in 2012 in a digital studio, using all real instruments. The original storyline was actually about a stalker and his prey, so it's basically the same story.

lyrics

You’re walking through life
Watch your step
There’s a man with a knife
He’s got a firm grip

You’re walking through life
Watch your step
There’s a man with a knife
He’s got a firm grip

You duck around corners
You look when you can
You’re looking for cover
But there’s none

Don’t look now
He’s got his friends after you
Waiting there
Waiting to see what you do

Go ahead and get uptight
Nothing is alright

They follow in silence
They lurk in the dark
They see that you’re nervous
They count on that

They go through your garbage
They find you online
They’re recording your numbers
They want to be you

Don’t look now
He’s got his friends after you
Waiting there
Waiting to see what you do

Go ahead and get uptight
Nothing is alright

Don’t stop now
You’ve got to run for your life
Don’t freak out
There’s nowhere else you can hide

He’s got an agenda
He’s got lots of time
He’s not in a hurry
To make the strike

He’s really quite gifted
He’s skilled at his craft
Your identity lifted
He’s you

Don’t stop now
You’ve got to run for your life
Don’t freak out
There’s nowhere else you can hide

Don’t stop now
You’ve got to run for your life
Don’t freak out
There’s nowhere else you can hide
