Caution to the wind

"Caution to the wind" is a song by LorD and Master about being young and carefree, growing up and still being carefree. The production is dominated by a played string line made from samples. When making the song, lyrics were not forthcoming and Dan referred to the song as a cheesy turkey, because he didn't know what to do with it. He also said it sounded as though 1997 had thrown up on a bank commercial.

Lyrics

They always told us to walk and never run
They just wanted to stop us having fun
They told us never to play out in the street
They always told us it's time to go to sleep

They told us it was serious, we laughed
They told us to calm down and we were daft
They told us to behave, we simply grinned
We always threw caution to the wind

We always threw caution to the wind
Who cares if we're told that we have sinned
None of that matters any more
It's not as though we're gonna break the law

Now summer's here, the days are long
We've got a good thing going on
And though our memories have dimmed
We still throw caution to the wind
