Such a distance the water makes it wetter
You've no more Pills, how is it? Do you feel better?
I was lonesome, you embraced me
Man, it seems so long ago
At the concert with your mother
Funny boy, we love you so
At any given moment, I have time for you, my friend
Thinking of you and Darcey, living the life that you both love
Yeah!
We'll buy a dirty ticket, come and see you
Flung across the seas, we'll stand if we have to
You're banging out those Boston pops
And reining in those 45s
Sing the bears of Appalachia
From the books at Hay-On-Wye
They've got a message for you
And I hope it finds you well
Happy Birthday
For me this is both a beautiful song on a literal level and an allegory for living the socialist life - 'you wish all the wrong things in the world could be right'... 'If we collect all the strays and make them feel safe, there'll be some more out there to keep us awake.' Chris Clark
Welsh art-rock group HMS Morris make music full of plot twists; explosive, colorful rhythms can turn into shadowy introspection on a dime. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
