lyrics

London ‘84
I’m in the crowd watching Tom Verlaine
There in the same room as David
Was I standing next to him?
Did we see each other
Going in or maybe coming out?
Did our eyes meet for a second?
Did I see him there propped up against the bar
Or by the stage? Was he by himself?
Or with somebody else?

Born Sandy Devotional
Grand baritone and distant pedal steel
So tender, so hostile, so lost, so lonesome
I could feel the lonely stretches
The treeless plains
The harsh and brutal sun
I can taste salt on my lips?
My god, where has my memory gone?
I can see him standing there
Gretsch country gent, golden waistcoat

I played it on the Eurorail
On my trusty little Walkman
It seeped into my conscience
When I came home to Carlisle
So I followed them to Leeds, then onto Newcastle
Over flatlands and the motorways
And several places after
Amsterdam and Islington
The Barbican and Brussels
Britten Street, Farringdon
A pint or two for after

I met you in the coffee shop
On a blind date
The city wet with rain
The skies had opened up
I swear it was about to flood
You kissed me when I walked in
That very moment, the moment that we met
My music magazine, we bonded it was meant to be
By year’s end we’d bought a house together
In the shadow of Hadrian’s Wall

Warwickshire and Carlisle
Royal School of Needlework
Hampton Court Palace
Lake District, our long and lovely walks
Galleries and boozers
Sitting all along the Thames
Something triggers it
I’m falling all over you again
Big blue open sky
The Swan River and the Nullarbor Plain
We’ll get there one day

In and Out of the Light
by The Apartments

This record is compelling, a slow burner, I find myself playing a lot of Peter Milton Walsh's records on repeat, this is no exception. Rob Snarski | SnarskiCircusLindyBand

A Small Death
by Samantha Crain

No-one should be allowed to sing so beautifully. It’s simply not fair. "An Echo" draws you in to this varied collection of the the lighter and darker moments of her songs. Rob Snarski | SnarskiCircusLindyBand

I had to stop the car when I heard “Anything You Recognise” for the first time. I love this track ~ I love a great narrative. Rob Snarski | SnarskiCircusLindyBand

David McComb is probably the most underated Australian songwriter. It is fantstic to hear some of his lost songs. The Triffids were part of the sound track of my youth and its so good to and some nes songs to it. Sullie
