The Perfect English Weather – London-By-The-Sea
Neuer, gestern veröffentlichter Song des Nebenprojekts von The Popguns, vielleicht etwas für @herr-rossi und Fans von Morrissey, denn:
Written by Wendy and was inspired by a chance meeting with Morrissey in 1984 when Wendy was travelling on her way down to Brighton from London. Morrissey told her that he had „friends in London-By-The-Sea“.
It is taken from the forthcoming album „Just Beyond The Lights“.
lyrics
Found a postcard, March ’84
You wrote “the good life is still possible”
But do you live it?
With the greenness of youth, I drank it all in
But now I’m older and I’m sober
A chance meeting, May ‘84
You knew my name, how was that possible?
You said you have friends in London-by-the-sea
Are you still close or have they cut loose?
Can you please explain why people have to change?
Can you please explain the dying of the flame?
Cut to Hamburg, May 91
You said my name out loud to the crowd
Swooning and sold I was living in a dream
But I woke up and now I see you
Can you please explain why people have to change?
Can you please explain the dying of the flame?
Cos I remember your touch as you took both my hands
I remember the thrill of the crush in the stands
As the music united in sweat and in joy
When you were a girl and I was a boy
Sunday morning, March ‘21
I sing my life to the seagulls and the sun
But what of you?
You took a path that I couldn’t follow
I can’t adore you, not like I used to
Still I send my love
From London-by-the-sea
Still I send my love, for what you meant to me
