I saw an elsebound train, on the overpass
In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can't go
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It's the price of living motion, what's beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall.

I loved 'Wide awake' but for some reason, the more I played it, it sort of started to grate! :shock:
I think it's his voice which can grab you at first, then it starts to.....whine after a while?







I'll get me coat. :(

he has a unique sort of voice alright not everyones cup of tea but I kinda dig odd ball singers with a bit of individuality to them and he defo has that aswell as being a fucking damn fine songwriter. However I will agree if you were to listen to his records for two weeks solid it or whatever he will probably get on your tits and I could say the same about a few people who I enjoy but class is permanent and I always find myself coming back and it sounds as great and as fresh as ever. Cape Canavral off the new album is as good a song as I have heard this year but thats just me,

Some 1980’s grief
Gives me parachute dreams
Like old war movies
While the universe was drawn
Perfect circles form infinity
I watched the stars get smaller
Tiny diamonds in my memory
I know that victory is sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats


excuse me but don't we think the new sig is a little OTT! :roll: dont we have an official word limit or somefink? :P
