about

Featuring Lukas Drinkwater on bass and lead acoustic guitar

lyrics

In his high-back, blue vinyl chair
Between the potted plant and the Expelair...
A slick of Brylcreem still in his hair,
He’ll talk to anybody there.
He’s always got a story or three –
Though his memory’s not what it used to be.
Sometimes the faces don’t fit
Sometimes the places contradict
But his twisted fingers still twitch
Above a piano that isn’t there.

Not an inch of skin that’s slack.
Her long silver hair tied tightly back.
Shrunken eyes, just pools of black –
She’s poised - She’s ready for the attack.
Her back is perfectly straight
Though she only has the weight of a girl of eight.
Every meal time with her
Becomes a complicated pas-de-deux
As she twist her neck away
Like a dying bird
Her dignity intact.

He turns his head towards the light
Where he sees silhouettes in black and white
And with his finger he traces out the lines
That the sunlight fleetingly defines
He reaches out for his cup
And with trembling hands he picks it up.
He gives his tired eyes a rub,
And then he lets his eyelids drop.
And he starts to sketch and colour-block
The landscapes in his mind.
