about
The flip-side to Modern Romance. It's a breakup song.
lyrics
Let me take you out to the Black Country tonight
And we can stay there for a while
Somewhere that will bore, with no attractions, with nothing to do
So as to have your ear, if not the rest of you
And if the blue sky beckons you
Look to the ground and listen once more
To a little illuminated what-for
Every patch lies covered by an eyesore
Let me take you out to the Black Country so bleak
And we can stay there for a week
In minute detail, I will outline my position on your decision
To make a clean break with cruel precision
And if the dross dissuaded you
Look in my eyes and tell me what for
And if it's me you'll drop in an eyesore
In an eyesore

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
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
The latest from Papercuts is another batch of bright, melodic, ’60s-influenced pop songs with driving, heart-on-sleeve vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2018
