about

Recorded in Antwerp next to an open window, hence the serendipitous sound of a car engine starting at the beginning of the track.

lyrics

I blew out the flame and then I recall
I went on a journey, climbing the wall
It’s ok it’s ok it’s ok, I fly when I fall

I flew ‘cross the Channel and had lots of fun
Wrestling around with a foreign tongue
Godverdomme verdomme, verdomme
My head it spun...

The wormwood was winging its way through my brain
Your faces all mingle to one and the same
Flashing by flashing by flashing by, like a passing train

I remember the music we drank to the dawn
My friends are all strangers, all sad and forlorn
Where’ve they gone? Where’ve they gone?

The sun makes me sober I dream of sleep
This journey is ending, to a bed I must creep.
Journey’s end journey’s end journey’s end, is on the street
