lyrics
People say I bottle up
All the things I never seem to say.
Take a trip to Hollywood
And act like nothing's happening again
All that from nothing
It feels like I'm drifting away
AS I LOOK ALONG THE SHORE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE
FALLING STARS LIKE BROKEN GLASS ARE WATCHING OVER ME
Looking back but I can’t see
I’m at the edge of what will be will be
People say it’s not enough
But I don’t care
It’s good enough for me
All that from nothing
It feels like I'm drifting away
AS I LOOK ALONG THE SHORE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE
FALLING STARS LIKE BROKEN GLASS ARE WATCHING OVER ME
A space a time
A change of mind
Who am I to say
Shout out loud today
Wait around for me
I've been drifting but I haven't lost my mind
AS I LOOK ALONG THE SHORE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE
FALLING STARS LIKE BROKEN GLASS ARE WATCHING OVER ME
The latest from Papercuts is another batch of bright, melodic, ’60s-influenced pop songs with driving, heart-on-sleeve vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2018
What a joy to find this on bandcamp, having missed out on the vinyl rerelease. I'd only heard Strawberry Window prior to this, but I love that song and have done since first hosting it on Radio Scotland, back in the late 80s. This is exactly my kind of music, layered, anthemic guitars and great melodies. At times, it brings to mind another great lost band, The Train Set. Fabulous stuff. richardw27
