lyrics

If you could only find yourself the smallest wage
Sweeping floors or serving trays
If you could only find yourself inside that space
Between troubadors and their go-go days

My dance routines are a little bit dinosaur
this schtick is getting old
but you're still out there reeling around upon the floor,
while my heart is growing cold

So call me switched on, 'friend of Erol',
We're at the rave trading cells in the life backstage
I don't recall the details of this pact we made
but our love got lost in the life backstage

my dance routines are a little bit din-o-saur
this schtick is getting old
but you're still out there reeling around upon the floor while my heart is growing cold

Then just think, we'll live together, walking through life in love forever
hands like stars in setting concrete, the lightbulbs flash and we hope they're discreet Tiny hands clap outfits wildly, waiting cars beep their horns politely, but life has begun in earnest sadly,

... This life backstage ... the life backstage

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.
