War Romance

Dear circumstance
It always starts with you
Playing the fool, setting the rules
You got to end it too
Couldn’t have given me that
How fast it goes
The time we take to lose
Over the fence, making a mess
Oh tell me what to do
Couldn’t have given me that
We ain’t gonna win the fight dear
They say it’s worth the ride
We ain’t catching up in time dear
It’s all behind the eyes
I want a war romance
I want a war romance
I wanna take your hand and hold it through the night
We’d no idea
The end was quite so near
Now it’s too late, we’re lying in wait
Oh put your faith in a muse
There’s only dreaming to do
These heavy hours
That only love devours
Cut off the ropes, surrender to gods
I wish I had one now
Couldn’t have figured it out
We ain’t gonna win the fight dear
They say it’s worth the price
We ain’t catching up in time dear
It’s all beneath the lies
I want a war romance
I want a war romance
I wanna take your hand honey
It’s our only chance
It’s our only chance
I need you

I Am Not In A Hurry
03:47

I am not in a hurry
I’m still getting used to the place
And I’m still getting proof of the taste
And I’ve heard there is more
I do not take lightly that you want to spend time with me
But the windows don’t wind you see
And we can’t feel the floor
Forgive my sincerity
I love it all I believe
Perhaps it’s just I fancy being free
Being free
I can see a line emerging
A warning in stories told
You better come in now from the cold
Wouldn’t want to be making a habit of this
Forgive my sincerity
I love it all I believe
Perhaps it’s just I fancy being free
Being free

Break It Off
03:55
|
|||
|
After another weekend of aunt agony
I’m out in disguise
Feigning sparkle and shameless self-certainty
I knit the wool for my eyes
Long nights I’ve laid awake
Penning stories and songs for the sake
One day you’ll come apart
With a full change of heart
Break it off, break it off
Oh our sunset won’t dawn
Pull the pin and be gone
Break it off, break it off
I know I’ll never have the heart to leave you
If I’d known, If I’d known, if I’d known
Do me a favour and hide all the sweets away
I’ve got no control
Gimme your word there’s still time to go roots ‘n’ all
I’ll renew, be reborn
Don’t say another word
Or I’ll swear to myself that I’ve heard
One day you’ll come apart
With a full change of heart
Break it off, break it off
Oh our sunset won’t dawn
Pull the pin and be gone
Break it off, break it off
I know I’ll never have the heart to leave you
If I’d known, If I’d known, if I’d known
Cause when I face the facts
We’re a bit of a mess
Not the pick of the best
And you’re not a patch on Benedict Cumberbatch
Break it off, break it off, break it off
If I’d known, If I’d known, if I’d known

Consider It A Gift
03:36
|

|
Nothing about this is gonna make me look good
So consider it a gift
I don’t have the feeling I once did
Don’t have a mark or even the vaguest thought of evensong
There’s something I wonder if you’d admit
You picked her out and you had a doubt I helped you even out
Nothing you said or did was ever really a risk
So consider it a miss
Perhaps it’s my only redemption
Just when I thought I had least to lose, I lost the most of anyone
And I hope that you’ve settled a new deal
You’ve got a life I know that I’d like, just not the way I’d like it
Take it or leave it
That’s our only choice
Be good to your ladies in waiting
Something to see
Solidarity in loving you

What An Inconvenience
04:47
|
|||
|
With all the eyes at last diverted
We slipped outside before they heard us
And at the time your hand touched mine
We threw a rope across a great divide
Such a thing as a hardy fool
You’ll go as far as the ocean pool
You speak of dog and daughter
I put the roses in fresh water
Brush away the dust
What an inconvenience is lust
A safety in what cannot be
There is freedom in captivity
Enjoy the sound of every word
It can be true it can be blurred
When I closed the door behind me
Every creak and every turned key
Was amplified in it was not
You coming with a midnight knock
Brush away the dust
What an inconvenience is lust
After a time you learned your worth
Perhaps it is my role on earth
A fairy for your matrimony
If only the job weren’t quite so lonely
I feel the guilt, I feel the friction
I hope it’s not a life-long affliction
Death by a thousand cuts
This nasty business we call love
Brush away the dust
What an inconvenience is lust
Brush away the dust
What an inconvenience is lust

Some Of Us
03:27
|

Never had a heart like yours
Never had a cold night on the floor
You had the pick of eyes from the door
Nothing like a well-made suit
Fitted like a well-worn mask and glove
You’ve got a lovely view from above
Gimme the shivers
Smoke and mirrors
Some of us will learn to lose
Some of us will never bruise
Oooh logical logical logical
See you come and see you go
Beauty is a curse on all in tow
You hold the key to every home
And it is a game of chance
That puts you in the room and calls the dance
No way to bargain, no way to steal
We spin the wheel
Hope for a thrill
Some of us will learn to lose
Some of us will never bruise
Oooh logical logical logical
I know I hold a stranger high
Someone like that will never fly
World on fire
But it isn’t real
But it isn’t real
Some of us will learn to lose
Some of us will never bruise
Some of us will learn to lose
Some of us will never bruise

Winter Island
03:28

“Can I paint you?” late one night
Three afternoons in fading light
Never met a purer heart
One so entirely formed on art
Your world is under an attack
So you are bringing fresco back
Slowly brush progressed to touch
And fingers traced along every shape
The painter from Thessaloniki
Cut the eyes from the mask of me
For both a muse we’re finding
On the winter island
Shadowed face and rolling vowel
The bar contained a whispered vow
What will we do today?
I know a place the Romans lay
Tongue in cheek and heart in hand
Try not to mock the earnest man
Walk a winding forest road
There’s something in the air I’m told
The painter from Thessaloniki
Cut the eyes from the mask of me
For both a muse we’re finding
On the winter island
The walls were painted just as white
As clouds above that Grecian isle
You said I was Lady Ulysses
And twisted grass around our fingers
We rang the bell but didn’t tell
Of the wedding in the church that day
The next day I would sail away
The painter from Thessaloniki
Cut the eyes from the mask of me
For both a muse we’re finding
On the winter island

Nothing Is Forever
04:10

Break of day
Shadows go and light betrays
Once, you held all of the armies
But your hero did fall
Oh the curse is the habit
Let me explain
Just release and you’ll feel no pain
Brace, bow your head, take a minute
Oh you did it again
Lucky we’re so forgiving
You wouldn’t know it
You wouldn’t see it in his eyes
You wouldn’t guess it
Oh it’d take you by surprise
Calm right down
The bottom rung aint as bad as it sounds
Strip, hang up all of your hang ups
Here’s your chance to restart
Is this as good for you as it is for me?
You wouldn’t know it
You wouldn’t see it in his eyes
You wouldn’t guess it
Oh it’d take you by surprise
Nothing is forever, nothing is forever
Nothing is forever, nothing is forever
Nothing is forever, nothing is forever
You wouldn’t know it
You wouldn’t see it in his eyes
You wouldn’t guess it
Oh it’d take you by surprise

What'll I Do
03:22
|
|||
|
We are only looking for a death
Better to have known you
I was hoping you would cause unrest
But the wind’ll blow soon
I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know where to begin
What’ll I do when you go back dear?
What’ll I do to pass the time here?
What’ll I do to face the undenied
That someone beat me to you
I am crippled by a fantasy
Better to disown me
And in secret time is never shared
Subtle as a whisper in an ear
I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know where to begin
Oh I was just getting on with my day
For god’s sake take me out of the race
What’ll I do when you go back dear?
What’ll I do to pass the time here?
What’ll I do to face the undenied
That someone beat me to you

Soothe You
05:01
|
|||
|
We’ve still got our tricks
We’ve still got something to trade
Fortunes forsake
We had it pretty good for god’s sake
We thought we’d cured the sick
We thought we could strengthen the weak
Nature’s taken back the reins
And we’re forced to flame
And I just want to soothe you
I just want to soothe you
Take all you need
Wrap it up and store it in the walls
We’ve never been here before now
And never again
Doesn’t it feel pathetic
All I want is to shed the night
And come into the light
No idea it was dark this whole time
I can’t wear your skin
You can’t wear mine
We’re as shallow as it is thin
Take it on the chin
And I just want to soothe you
I just want to soothe you
Take all you need
Wrap it up and store it in the walls
We’ve never been here before now
And never again
To look in your own eyes and see lies
It’s a kick in the guts
It’s more than that
It’s a knife in the back
I just want to soothe you
I just want to soothe you
If it’s the last thing I do

I love this so much. It inspires me in a few ways, one of which is to revisit Richard Brautigan because I wasn’t into him on my first read, but mostly it makes me want to bask in the warm places in my little world and go on early morning walks, not unlike the way I feel when I listen to Dolly Parton.

So delighted that Angel is finding that "hard won acceptance" that she sought and hope that her future path is one of authenticity. This work is one marked by melodious but not overwrought emotion, striking an intuitive balance of warmth and skill.
