Paris/Smoke

I must leave this town
Everywhere I see his face
Paris waits for me
He said he would join me there
I just wish that he was here
Light a cigarette
When you smoke it's hard to cry
We were lovers then
Now forever there's a hole
There's a breach in space and time

Amsterdam/South
04:56
|

|
Down to the Drum Club
Smoking our last cigarettes
Singing Amsterdam
Brel would surely have approved
Will we be this close no more?
Come the final day
Take your silent brother there
Where the bus heads south
Back to all you've left behind
You're not angry-you're alone

Lovers fierce and proud
Those who dug their nails in deep
Now mothers and wives
On some ordinary day
Do they stop and think of you
All those lonely girls
Falling weeping to their knees
Lost in threadbare rooms
Knowing that with him they lived
Knowing that the light has gone

Roker Bay/Boys In Bloom
04:19
|

|
Gone to Roker bay
Trying hard to find the words
I always fall short
You're ashamed of who I am
How could I compete with you?
All those boys in bloom
Sat around in disbelief
Travel many miles
Walking on this foreign soil
Sobbing underneath the stairs

Weds AM/Light
03:51
|
|||
|
I've been here before
On a lonely Wednesday morn
At the kitchen door
Watching schoolgirls cross the field
Thinking of another's arms
Everyone you knew
Gravitates towards me now
Look for you in me
I'm a poor facsimile
We have different kinds of light

She sang in the legendary Owl Service. And check those records out! But this is just as good. Her own songs. And what a voice.

I usually haaaate autotune voices, but done this way it's brilliant. When enough craftsmanship is used. Hard to pick a favourite from this great album. One of my favourites of the year!
