Oh yes wake me up when September ends, I often use that refrain to describe the quietness of the charts and weather in September.

Bit of a “dad” joke of mine to say to the kids on 1st October “Has anybody woke Green Day up yet?”

October summed up by New Model Army's 'Autumn'

 

(Sullivan / Nelson / Dean / White / Gill) 2009

Across the land the air is still

The leaves are falling golden one by one

Like the paper money falls

Or the soldiers stealing homeward

There is only beginning

And there is beginning of the end

All the peoples are moving

Like the waters of a great flood

 

And everything is beautiful

Because everything is dying

 

So we went down to the beach

And built a fire to remember

We took the last bottle of wine

And drank a toast to mortality

And we scrawled across the cold wet sand

With our bare feet ‘We Told You So'

And watched the waves steal it away

I caught you smile and I heard you say

 

Everything is beautiful

Because everything is dying

 

So who wants to live forever

When these moments will only come the once?

Staring into the embers of the fire...

And everything is beautiful

Only because everything is dying
