about

A gently baffling waltz about music with some familiar aspects, sung by Christopher Killerby with delightful howls by Bryony Lang. Counterpart song to Aurora on Alterations. See in-depth album guide ('alterations revealed') at www.marknorthfield.com for the full explanation.

lyrics

SOME SONGS...

Some songs don't want to be written
Some songs have no intention of staying hidden
Some only make sense to a child in the back of a car
Some simply exist to rhyme fnarr with oompaloompa
Some come to life in hostile terrain
Some really shoulda been left on holiday, yeah
Some are measures of crude corporate thought control
Some know freedom's a quite unobtainable goal
But then some songs know it all

Some need blue sky, the glint of frost
Some the inky night and a senseless loss
Some seem to have lust tatooed on their behinds
Some songs are just too old, too young, or darling too tired
Some burn bridges, let others construct
Some cite revolution but would not let the bucks stop
Some will have you giving thanks for being alive
Some will leave you convinced that you may as well die
But then some songs tell such lies

Owooo...

Some songs tell such lies

Owooo...

Some songs tell such lies

Owooo...
