Dr. Beaf Found this lying in Dorothy's (rubyslippered) collection and I'm very thankful. It's a very lovely album full of folky acoustic flavours and that glorious harp plucking (Emma's a great feature here). The song writing and production blend all the oddities together and deliver a very succinct unity of sounds. It really is brilliant! Gotye fan? Perhaps you'll like... Highly recommend. Favorite track: Marina.

B Sting 03:12
'B Sting' lyrics by Conrad Williams: Verse 1: B sting, like it, hold it cos you like it Hold it cos you like the way, it hurts to be yourself, you wait for someone else, But hold it till you get away Bee sting and it hurts, humming as you walk the Line each day. It hurts to be yourself, you wait for someone else, But hope that it don't get away. Chorus 1: B sting lighter Has her waiting, burn it brighter Trust in her Verse 2: its harder when you get it so you better start calling Oooooooo its harder when you get it so you better start calling B sting, like it, hold it cos you like it Hold it cos you like the way, it hurts to be yourself, you wait for someone else, But hold it till you get away. Chorus 2: B sting lighter Has her waiting, ooo burn it brighter Trust in her Verse 3: its harder when you get it so you better start calling Oooooo its harder when you get it so you better start calling Bridge: How does she know she doesnt cos she likes it. How does she like it. How does she hum it when you get like B. How does she know. she does it cos she likes it. How does she like it. How does she hum it when you get like B. Chorus 3: B sting lighter Has her waiting B sting lighter Trust in her Verse 3: its harder when you get it so you better start calling its harder when you get it so you better start calling i’ve been a loner when the B stings lighter i’ve been a loner when the love starts falling I’ve been a loner when the light starts fading its harder when you get it so you better start calling

Marina 03:29
"Marina" Lyrics by Conrad Williams: Marina will you marry me I whipped up a storm in you I sailed all over you Marina will you marry me I fought the beast and won brought back a golden stone just to be your favourite one i placed it with the others at the foot of your throne carved up a mountain side stood aloft the top and roared and cried to gain some of your attention show you a little of my affection Marina will you marry me i whipped up a storm in you i sailed all over you Marina will you marry me She is tempted by the fire caught up in that steely mind he looks up at the moon and smiles captured by those emerald eyes ooo oo oo oooooo Thieves snuck in and played my heart overtures, quartets the made they left no stone unturned subtlety was not their game inside out refreshed ready to go again like a blank slate wiped clean the heart has forgotten inside out refreshed ready to go again like a blank slate wiped clean the heart has forgotten So Marina will you marry me i whipped up a storm in you i sailed all over you Marina will you marry me

October 03:04
'October' Lyrics: One afternoon in october, the phone rang in my room. You had left your life was over, the dream faded and soon. I left to make you a cup of tea, cake for you my love, but none for me. There you were still as can be, in your calmness in your sleep. In your slippers lined with fur, But you felt cold to her. Goodnight sweetheart to you from us, a goodnight and a grave wthout much fuss. The flowers have died has it been so long Since i cried and cried through your sad song Goodnight sweetheart to you from us, a goodnight and a grave without much fuss. Now you've gone to that place where we may go, when we've had enough of life below. That place where maybe it all began, that place they call heaven. Goodnight sweetheart to you from us, a goodnight and a grave without much fuss. Goodnight sweetheart to you from us, a goodnight and a grave without much fuss.

'Hyperspace Junkie' lyrics by Conrad Williams: Last contact with mission control, Now the radio has gone. We’re moving in to position now, The count down has begun. Muted mics and lights down dim, We’ve switched all shields on. We’re gearing up for hyperdrive, And the phasers locked to stun. falling through heaven through this vacuum here in space Did I really find an angel is that star dust on her face When I look at her she could have fallen from space into the clouds But the smile on her face is frozen is this a hyperspace junkie that I’ve found Coasting over enemy lines, All we can see are stars, The radar’s set to pick up mines, we’re wondering where the enemy are. We’re scanning the scene but nothings there, The silence is oh so sharp, As they look on the crew get scared, And then a ship comes from the dark. Falling through heaven through this vacuum here in space. Did I really find an angel is that star dust on her face. When I look at her she could have fallen from space into the clouds. But the smile on her face is frozen is this a hyperspace junkie that I’ve found. Is this a hyperspace junki, that I;ve found Is this a hyperspace junki, that I;ve found Ship draws in with lights down low, We’re wondering whats gone wrong, Who’s on board nobody knows Where have all the crew gone. I step on to check it out my men watching over me, Space suit and helmet now my phasers locked to kill. Ships run down I radio back there’s no-one left alive, Leaving now I’m making tracks and then figure catches my eye. I’ve captured one of the crew and I’ve brought her back on board, Fallen in love and she has too its hyperspace junki that I’ve caught . Falling through heaven through this vacuum here in space, Did I really find an angel is that star dust on her face. When I look at her she could have fallen from space into the clouds, But the smile on her face is frozen is this a hyperspace junkie that I’ve found. Is this a hyperspace junki that I;ve found Is this a hyperspace junki that I’ve found This is a hyperspace junkie that I’ve found

Spell 03:59
'Spell' lyrics by Conrad Williams: A pat on the back he spun around Got a mouthful and one in the eye, Another in the other. As he went down, a hand to his face to wipe it dry, no protection or cover. clothes sticking to his skin, he arched his back over to make a shelter for his kin He tilts his head to one side, to cast a shadow on the water in his eyes I'd be there when he fell, they’d done nothing wrong They thought they could cast a spell, they’d done nothing wrong They thought it was possible They thought they could rise up out of that house. They’d been waiting for some love from you Waiting for some answers for the questions that were planted Hoping it would come soon Keeping on expecting everything perfected oh their hopes down low to leave a light on, or forget it all but they’d waited too long and in the end that light it turned off I'd be there when he fell, they’d done nothing wrong They thought they could cast a spell, they’d done nothing wrong They thought it was possible They thought they could rise up out of that house. One day they found a wishing well and each they cast that spell and one by one they fell and with it they ended that living hell One day they found a wishing well and each they cast that spell and one by one they fell they thought they could rise up out of that house

Genie 03:45
'Genie' lyrics by Conrad Williams: It starts with an emotion, A tearing of a peaceful sky Thunder coming crashing in n Carving up the silence of the night Destroying what is beautiful To watch as creation is defaced Smash a diamond on the floor Watch as the pieces race away Cos Lichtenstein said its fine, you fall in love this time, even if she says she don’t like you But you’ll pay with something more, than just your cell phone call When you ask her if she’d hold you too So Beware of a crime scene, with the teeth, dripping with lust Those shiny silver molten drops of love She enjoys the crisis as she quickens the pace But afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place Lichtenstein said its fine, you go ahead and fall in love this time, tho she don’t like you you’ll pay with something more, than just your cell phone call, When you ask her if she’d hold you too cos, It starts with an emotion, A tearing of a peaceful sky Thunder coming crashing in n Carving up the silence of the night Destroying what is beautiful To watch as creation is defaced Smash a diamond on the floor Watch as the pieces race away I won’t follow, I won’t get like thee. I won’t be blinded, By your beauty. I won’t stoop low, I won’t go that way. I won’t be blinded, by your jealousy. I won’t join you in the crime scene, with teeth, dripping with lust Those shiny silver molten drops of love She’ll enjoy the crisis when she quickens its pace But afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place
