lyrics
In the neon gloom
Of my front room
I just stare
As I lay my head
Upon our bed
When you're not there
I'm not mad
I just thinking straight
I don't want to close my eyes just yet
In a clapped out car
I won't go far
But I don't care
On the Rest And Be Thankful
My heart stops right there
I'm not mad
I just thinking straight
I don't want to close my eyes just yet
There's something special
Or so the story goes
You read me like a book
And so the story grows
I know that…
I'm not mad
I just thinking straight
I don't want to close my eyes just yet
Oh let me feel an everlasting sun
Oh let me be an everlasting one

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
