Honey.Where You Been So Long?

Turgid calls the winter charge
True adventures of awaking hearts
Nights are overwhelmed by gloom
We will see foxes in the moon
Valleys drop, mountains rise
Lift your head, brave the skies
All of the forgotten names
Lakes are forming on the pockets of your brain
And there in the distant glow
A shadow on shadow
At once so strong and weak
In the sunken lines they speak
You think it's gone, my friend
But it comes back again
Senescence or senility
How long until you sleep?
Discarded for all it's worth
Now it's quiet under this fresh earth
Valleys drop, mountains rise
Lift your head, brave the skies
You think it's gone, my friend
But it comes back again
And there is a final cry
A whimper and a sigh
And what was fast is slow
And what was brass is gold
Valleys drop, mountains rise
Lift your head, brave the skies
You think it's gone, my friend
But it comes back again...........

..... and again, and again, indeed it comes my friend.
Interesting. They seem quite ordinary but the lyrics are great. I like that combination of rock and poetry.
Argh no, not a marshmellow to the glasses, a fingerprint takes about 5 minutes to clean never mind that!
nice song, but i'm more of a hip hop guy!
We Are All hip-Hop Now!+
My Face Became a sort of Rock & Roll Shrine for a week or so...................
I don't understand what all the fuss is about BSP...I saw them on Jools Holland over a year ago and just didn't really like them. But music is so subjective - that's what makes it interesting I guess..
Mum yea, its all totally subjective.For myself, Ive seen'em Live twice & I enjoyed.Plus, i like the quirkyness of them they throw together differing elements to make an unusual combination.You Pays Yer Money..........
I won't give up quite yet - will give them another go soon. Sometimes you just don't get something and then you do - and you love it. Sadly, that didn't happen with Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice - I have tried on various occasions over the alst 25 years to read it and every time - I hate it. I've given up now. Some things are like that.
I heard Rumour That British Sea Power are to attempt to set the entire Works of Jane Austin to Music for the next Albumn.................:)
I saw White Stripes Live a couple of years back in Leeds.Yes......One of the few good Rock Acts still rolling.......Re Getting High.maybe the secret is never to come down?Kinda solves the Problem of losing things?
