She rises early from bed, runs to the mirror
The bruises inflicted in moments of fury
He kneels beside her once more, whispers a promise
"Next time, I'll break every bone in your body"
And the well-wishers let the devil in
And if the river ran dry, they'd deny it happening
As the card players deal their hands from the bottom of the deck
Row upon row of feudal houses blow away
Medicine for the popular complaint
When the poets dreamed of angels, what did they see?
History lined up in a flash at their backs
When the poets dreamed of angels, what did they see?
The bishops and knights well-placed to attack
The bruises inflicted in moments of fury
He kneels beside her once more, whispers a promise
"Next time, I'll break every bone in your body"
And the well-wishers let the devil in
And if the river ran dry, they'd deny it happening
As the card players deal their hands from the bottom of the deck
Row upon row of feudal houses blow away
Medicine for the popular complaint

Nice. His voice reminds me of Donovan.
Stunning; just simply stunning

This album, when you are in the right head space, is magical. Deep, dark and mysterious. Not casual listening fluff, but rather lands like a weighted blanket on a frigid-grey winters day...

Hmmmm, interesting suggestion. Being an old fart (in training), I do tend to listen to our music collection by album when we’re not streaming RP. I hope the PSD button would skip complete albums rather than just songs…
