There's a party in the bar that we all built together
And everybody's there
(It's) hard to imagine just how anything could quite be better
Or happen anywhere
This evening's really feeling like it could be never-ending
Oh I know that nothing is
But for a minute just before we have to stop pretending
Let's make the most of it
The night is nearly over
Tomorrow we all gotta wake up sober
But we're still going strong
As we're crying out for one more song
I knew that I'd run into you here pretty soon but nonetheless
You still take me by surprise
I'd forgotten how it feels to hear the voice that I know best
Or see the light that's in your eyes
The band just played our favourite song, the one that we first kissed to
Well maybe it's a sign
We may have made our separate ways since then, but god I've missed you
So let's play it one more time
The night is nearly over
Tomorrow we all gotta wake up sober
But we're still going strong
As we're crying out for one more song
The clocks keep getting faster
The minute hand's marching to disaster
But even with all that's going wrong
We gotta make time for
ONE. MORE. SONG.
The night is nearly over
Tomorrow we all gotta wake up sober
But we're still going strong
As we're crying out for one more song
And no-one lives forever
But we could do worse than die together
I swear the last thing I do
Will be hanging on tight for
One more song with you

Now an experienced hand at timed songwriting challenges, Ben took on the February Album Writing Challenge on his own (well, with a little help) in 2019. This is the result. Softwire
This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
