lyrics
I guess you’re still upset about Sunday, was it something I didn’t say?
I never claimed that I was a poet, I never had to anyway.
As playful as an alley cat, she climbs into my bed.
I closed my eyes and dreamed of you, c’mon, you know that I did.
I close my eyes, I reach for my pen, I sit very still,
I write for you a romantic song to make up for wrong.
I guess you won’t be coming ‘round Mondays like you used to do,
when I would dress you up like a doll child and cover you in glue.
As obvious as an elephant in short skirt and pink fuzzy shoes.
She tries to pretend she’s innocent, but we know what she wanted to do.
She closed her eyes, she kicked off her shoes,
she pulled down the shades
I swear to god she reminds me of you
Like Elvis is to heart attacks or black blind men are to blues,
she is to nymphomania and also she reminds me of you...
A true hidden treasure of a song writer. This gent has been capturing songs in demo form on old tape recorders since the 80s. . . and he's still capturing his magic sounds in his secret basement. Damien Youth
Excellent medieval folk, IGR, & those with ears to hear. I love the sense of mysticism and deep, introspective ponder this album conveys, & the honest down-to-earth folky lyrics. Simply wonderful yet soulfully rich. Highlights for me are tracks 2, 5, 6, & 12. IGR truly capture what I feel is an authentic sense of a medieval bard at a woodland rill pondering the mysteries of life. Highly recommended. 8.5+/10. Alrihkh
Done in medieval, wyrdfolk and psychedelic style, there is a deep bell to open and close the recording. An allegorical tale using alchemy as a backdrop, it is very pastoral and haunting. Some instruments included are viola, nyckelharpa, and dulcimer, along with acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and percussion. The phantasmagoric story that ensues once the vocals begin is best listened to from start to finish for full effect. Favourite Track: The Serpent Nickie Harte Kelly
