about

I first performed this track with Simon as a duo a few years back. It was one of those great nights that so few were witness to and that my zoom recorder refused to capture. It has stayed with us, as a duo and with Trio Velocity. This was a last-minute, in-studio addition to the album, and we hope you love the spontaneity and looseness of this track.

lyrics

A man carried metal
Carried gold
More than he could handle
More than he could hold
It weighed him down
To a sand shallowed grave
Where his bones were eaten
By a heatwave

While here it rains all night
And it blows a sweet breeze
Think, I'll call you up
And say, "Please, baby, please"
I love you, I love you
Yeah, I love you
Yeah, I love you


Ah, the dream machine
Makes it hard to see
If I could stand outside myself
And watch it come to me
I'd make the dream
Filter down to my fingers
And rip at the fools head
And follow your scent that lingers


'Cause I love you
Yeah, I love you
I love you
Yeah, I love you

'Til the crash
And the booming of the white bomb
Come sure, come soon
Come leave just one song
One song, one beat
One dust, one end, one for all
One stone for the marking
For the dream when it falls


When I love you
When I love you
Yeah, I love you
Oh yeah, love you
I love you
