lyrics

Oh Angeline, you take the blue out of the sea
It doesn’t matter that you’re already old and replete
You’re young in my dream

In the sports hall of a modern school
Where we were welcome to be cruel
You just jumped right in
Where the worst of them swim

It didn’t matter that the feud began
In the middle of exams
What a time you had!
Running between Orwell and The Trads

Oh Angeline, you take the blue out of the sea
It doesn’t matter that you’re already old and replete
You’re young in my dream

And with your alien self-assurance
Soon you saw my presence
As a dreadful drag
Looming too close with my schoolbag

Anyway I took an early hint
And rose up to the firmament
Where we strum our lyres
And the odd bored child conspires

I knew ogres who climbed to your quarters
Watching you, wanting you, waking you

Land Lovers recommends:

Marriage
by Groom

One extended piece or a 10 song cycle. Great discipline and vision; fantastic arrangements and playing; another idea every 10 seconds; clever, heartfelt and poetic lyrics. You're entering Groomworld. Land Lovers

TIERANNIESAUR!
by tieranniesaur

A pop hit! And for several good reasons. Every track is a tasty piece of work. The songs soar. Hook after hook, groove after groove, this is a party record for weirdos and you! Land Lovers
