about

The trivial and the gargantuan. Perspective. Space. Consciousness. Self-destruction. Drugs.

lyrics

We're on a spinning planet, spinning around our sun,
with a spinning moon encircling - perhaps this will soon make us one.
But you don't see that spinning - you're spinning around yourself, you spin those pills inside you, take pleasure in wrecking your health;

and it all comes back, when I rest my head, there's this dream I've had - when you awaken.

Our sun is a spinning star, spinning around in our galaxy,
our galaxy is spinning, in a universe it's free.

But you don't see that spinning - you're spinning around yourself, you spin those pills inside you, take pleasure in wrecking your health;

and it all comes back, when I rest my head, there's this dream I've had - when you awaken.
(You know you're always like, you know you break my heart, you know you acting like a man who will fall apart.)
and it all comes back, when I rest my head, there's this dream I've had - when you awaken.
(You know you're taking prisoners, you even pull their hair, you know you're someone who'll be dead when they get there).

Rivers Of England Bath, UK

Original yet familiar sounding with occasional echoes of John Martyn and even Nick Drake, Rivers Of England’s lush string and Hammond/Rhodes based sound delivers foot-tapping ear candy aplenty with a spine-tingling powerful vocal on top. The surprises keep coming, not least, supporting The Fall, amusing hospital visits on tour and a regular soundtrack for operating theatre. ... more
