| King Creosote – Relate The Tale Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| One of the first songs I heard from KC and it has stuck with me all these years very much as a fave. The beauty of his voice paints a picture of a frog living through a very dark day - and conveys the passion, confusion, terror and gravity of the fateful day of the plague. | |
| jj – Beautiful Life Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Always thought it was "Do you know where the sunrise splits our night?" As in, that's what caused the night to stop being night -- because it was sunrise. (aka they've been up all night) Beautiful song, beautiful lyric. It's a beautiful life. ;) |

| King Creosote – Bubble Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
KC - This is a fairly old song, and a reject from one of my earlier bands in the 90s. It even appears as an old song on an album I put out on fence in 2001 called "king creosote says buy the bazouki hair oil", my 16th title in fact. The original song is simple enough - boy does bad, promises to do better, big sentiments and commitments if and only when desperately needed. Jon asked for a second verse, many years after those particular emotions had long been transferred several times over, so I tried to pen something that not only illustrates the fact that many years have indeed gone by in the writing, but to bring in some older cynicism to counter the naivety in the original. Oh, and to try and not spoil it in any way. I'm proud of the wordplay in the new verse, and in particular "harl abuse at the wall". from: http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4142289-king-creosote-amp-jon-hopkins-diamond-mine-track-by-track |

| Blueboy – Try Happiness Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Probably my favorite Blueboy song out of a whole beautiful catalogue. I was pen pals with Keith for a few years back between 1992 and 1994. His penmanship and his words were both so beautiful that I treasure those letters with all my heart. Truly a sad loss, much too young. Thankfully he left us a beautiful legacy of music |

in Shaun Ryder's autobiography, he says it's actually "stink like subs" he tells a funny anecdote where someone was asking him why he didn't like Serbians and he was puzzled until he realized they thought he was singing "stink like Serbs" |

| The Sea Urchins – A Morning Odyssey Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I always heard it as this: Trapped in a timeless place Telling me the moves to make In this love I see my fate and it's all gone Night survives the truths and lies Brings some hope that don't last long Your plan to take my hand has all gone wrong Thinkin' I always knew that the weight I want could break my own back I know soon I will find out Take me take me where you been Show me those things that you have seen In your life I've come too late Now there's no time Overheard things that we've said Put ideas into their heads They're not mine Thinking I always knew that the weight I want could break my own back Oh but I know soon I'm gonna find out She (was) screaming she (was) begging she (was) hoping she (screams) needing So take me, take me, take me, take me Come on take me Screaming screaming screaming screaming She's screaming Do you know? |
