lyrics

When I think of all we’ve done and how the scene is drawn
I couldn’t do this all alone, so where did you come from?

We were going blank and it was only morning
Not exactly sad… but the colour’s a little boring
Did you think that I would actually remember
The things we said that morning in July?
But what do you know, now that we glow,
The picture’s as clear as the sky…

The first impression that we get
The closer you are, no, no not quite yet...
The first impressions are never set
But blurring your eyes, defocus and then...

We were on the brink, and it was only dawning
Not the bed you’d think, but wishing and hoping...
Our tonic, something fake for all the sadness,
Your weakness for coincidence was cool
Could it be a new religion or just madness?
But I was hoping to become your happy fool

The first impression that we get
The closer you are, no, no not quite yet...
The first impressions are never set
But blurring your eyes, defocus and then...

When I think of everything we’ve done, and how the scene is drawn
We can’t do anything all alone, so where did you come from?§

about

Alexander's Festival Hall London, UK

Alexander's Festival Hall is a sort of English pop confection, a mix of regretful ballads and occasional pop rainbows. New album 'Not From Above!' is both music and book of stories. Twelve lush romantic songs and a collection of darkly comic thought experiments.
