Sailor
All I have is yours
But that ain't much
Be in no doubt
When you're with me, you're without
May the sun
Shine on you
May the rain wash away your blues
Oh! Juno Child
My pagan bee
You can be anything that you want to be
And though much of life
Is set in stone
Chip away with love and make it your own
Make it home
And though the future is unknown I do believe
It's looking alright to me.

Don't you cry, my Suzanne
'Cos the overdraft is under fire again
Those bills we have to pay, they're gonna have to wait
And the children must depend on the kindness of our friends
But I will build a road, for you to walk upon
I will make a fire to keep you warm
I will raise a roof, for you to sleep beneath
I will lay down beside you
Though we're doing all we can
Things don't always turn out like we planned
And that holiday, it's gonna have to wait
The air is getting thin and prayers don't mean a thing.
But I will build a road, for you to walk upon
I will make a fire to keep you warm
I will raise a roof, for you to sleep beneath
I will lay down beside you
keep your eyes on the road, dear
Keep your hands on the wheel
Keep your mind on the task, dear
I will build a road

A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music.

A tantalising glimpse of what Lush could have been if they hadn't been derailed by the Britpop sound in the mid 90s. The natural progression of Spooky and Scar.

I always love Nicky Wire's lyrics - their wisdom, wit, sadness, and rebellion. Wire ages almost painfully gracefully. This particular song feels like it was written for me (it probably wasn't) because of some letters and art I sent or tried to send Wire a long time ago when I was in a mental health crisis. In any case, it seems to be about someone who had the stupid and embarrassing experience of loving a famous stranger they know only from their art.
