lyrics

'You remind me of Quaid in his drinking days,' she said
'You had a lot of promise but you had to make them pay'
And although you've never been there I can see it in your face
You live your life like heaven was San Francisco bay...

Better hide inside the nearest passer-by
Or I could get involved in an incident
I can't meet the eyes of the people on the street
Because I know things they don't know just yet

So I put away the razor and considered what she said
And I've got stacks of VHS tapes in a suitcase by my bed
And I'm promised lots of money but I cannot clear a cheque
So perhaps it's time to rearrange consider what comes next

If she was a tall blonde beech I'm a low deciduous
My hair doesn't seem to want to stay in my head
If I wanted to I could eat walnuts up on Kilvey Hill
But you can never go back until you've run out of blood

Better hide inside the nearest passer-by
Or I could get involved in an incident
I can't meet the eyes of the people on the street
Because I know things they don't know just yet

Better hide inside the nearest passer-by
Or I could get involved in an incident
I can't meet the eyes of the people on the street
Because I know things they don't know just yet

Haeligewielle
by Petrels

This is an aching, innervating record and absolutely represents Petrels live sound - saw Oliver Barrett live by accident once and it was incredible. Devotional, ecstatic, unsettling at times - get it. Amazing Mammals
