LIFT
Music & Lyrics by Craig Adams
Book by Ian Watson

There are no strangers in the city, everyone’s connected eventually.
Dreams and routines force our lives into a box and slide the doors shut behind us.
Closer than weary lovers humping in silence whilst thinking of others.
Everybody wants what someone else has got, and so we’re all connected.
Step in, it’s a public lift. This steel box, rising to the call of Covent Garden, today holds eight people for 54 seconds, or near enough that.
Familiar by sight, filling each others’ unspoken thoughts and ignorant of the roles they’ve taken on in this very public/very private space, where nobody speaks but everybody wants to tell their story – it would only take a minute, but the doors will always open...
You want to enter their lives? You want to slap a few faces and shout, “ Just DO something!”? Well…“this station is ‘Exit Only’, please have your tickets ready.”

It's Been A Year - recorded by Julie Atherton
