There are three bands called Ash: 1) Well known rock outfit Ashfirst formed as a trio sharing a love for the raw british punkof the Buzzcocksand crafted their musical talents to take the brit-popscene by storm at the start of the decade. NME was swooning over these "teen punkers from Belfast," and by 1994 Ash had signed to Infectious Records to issue the Trailer EP later that fall. Their glossy youth was undoubtedly alluring, yet their Irish roots exuded a bit of an American flair similar to the likes of Pavementand The Lemonheads. They weren't even out of high school before three singles hit the Top Five in the U.K. indiecharts.

Coasting Lyrics

Ash

The curtain is dropping
I Stand in the fading lights of my summer
My heart is breaking
As the happiest time of my life is ending

I never laughing
Only forgetting
As I lose my memory
The sun is for the last time setting

All the time it takes
My whole life would never last that long
It's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life meandering on and on
Into inexistance

Now I'm dreaming
Of someone so precious
The world's too cruel to
Hold her in its arms and hatefully break her

Now I'm leaving
Standing at the front door for the last time
I was coasting in a dream world
But smiling faces are no more

All the time it takes
My whole life could never last that long
It's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life meandering on and on
Into inexistance

If you're coasting
If you're sailing
If you're dreaming
You can be my friend we can dream together

If you're coasting
If you're smiling
If you're nowhere
Hide your face till no one's looking

All the time it takes
My whole life could never last that long
It's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life meandering on and on
Into inexistance

I try so hard
But I can never have her back again
I lost it all and she heard me cry
And she knows so well

That it's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life been gathering on and on
Into inexistance

If you like me
If you're like me
If you're coasting
I will dream with you
