"I was born in a big grey cloud
Screaming out a love song
All the broken chords and unnamed cries
What a place to come from"
Two people in the throes of passion made life, made florence. But their love was in a big grey cloud, I'm guessing it was either forbidden or very turbulent. These have always haunted her.
I wish to remain nameless
and live without shame
Cause what's in a name, oh
I still remain the same
In 'small brief towns', everybody knows everybody by name. So her wishing to remain nameless is a tact to hide the identity of coming from this town. She's met another damaged individual and doesn't want him to trace her by name back to the chaotic world of her town.
You can call it what you want
You can call me anything you want
You can call us what you want
You can call me anything you want
Let's do a give and take, this relationship can work for us both but there's no need for labels. A fling, a companionship, something more, it can be whatever you want it to be just don't label it with a name.
"Everybody lets you down
In this brief? hole of a town
What a difference of the rushing out
Tell me what you're running from"
Everybody let's you down in this place, but now that we've rushed out and we're free of labels tell me what you ran from and I'll reciprocate.
"I know everybody lets you down
And I'll do the same
But know I'll always be around
This can remain the same"
I'm no saint. I'll let you down if you're looking for a defined labeled relationship. But you can count on me to be around to continue whatever it is we have. Whatever it is we're doing.
Call me when you need me
Call me anything you want
Darling believe me
Nothing I haven't done before
Exactly as the lyrics imply, call me when you need me and I'll always be there. But be warned, this is not new to me for a reason.
Very beautiful song, right up there with Seven Devils as my favorites off this album. Florence has this way of surprising people even in a concept album as well thought out as this.
