Ribbons And Leaves Lyrics
In an old house, in an old street
You found me and a tv
There was no bed, there were no chairs
There was no roof, there were no stairs
Ribbons and leaves and time in the tin
Behind the wall in the kitchen
Life, I love you
Got your old cap and tobacco tin
And the torn shirt that you died in
How we prayed for you to come on home
My soldier, my dead prince
Ribbons and leaves and time in the tin
Behind the wall in the kitchen
Medals and glass, a life in the bin
Behind the walls that you lived in
Life, I love you
You found me and a tv
There was no bed, there were no chairs
There was no roof, there were no stairs
Behind the wall in the kitchen
And the torn shirt that you died in
How we prayed for you to come on home
My soldier, my dead prince
Behind the wall in the kitchen
Medals and glass, a life in the bin
Behind the walls that you lived in

Perfectly captures the feelings of emptiness when grieving for someone you loved, seems rather hollowing when someone full of life and energy is reduced to...."Got your old cap and tabcoo tin And the torn shirt that you died in.."
Grahams low-fi americana driven pavement/Dinasaur Jnr influences came screaming out to us in his guitar solos on blurs album 13, and although a fan in the 90's i prefer his solo stuff. This song is perfect and loaded with pathos, shine on Mr Coxon the torch has definately been passed to you.
This song just reminds me of Paul Weller for some reason.
