lyrics

Eve bought an apple as she walked in the morning sun
She wasn’t thinking much about the life to come
just market stalls, swept on the human tide.

A pound-shop prophet in a mac rails at passers-by
the placard on his back says ‘The End is Nigh’;
their shopping bags hang heavy by their sides.

He tells them:’Plague, pestilence are the signs of the
Apocalypse to come’. His sermon fell on cabbages and kale.
They answer: ‘Doubt, blasphemy... We carry on when
catastrophe befalls. We are compelled: we are the Infidels.’

The church-bells in the square toll the afternoon
the sound drifts through the streets to an upstairs room
where time stands still. Two lovers slowly rouse.
He’s singing softly to himself while the fawcett drips,
she puts a cigarette to her lipsticked lips.
As she exhales, she says: ‘This is what I’ve found:

‘Lust, vanity, are the guiding lights of humanity.
They shine a light sublime, and how they lead us well.
You can take piety, the leaden pall of sobriety to hell
We broke the spell, we are the Infidels.’

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly. zq9mare1

The greatest to ever do it, do it again! Sometimes lush as a warm blanket, sometimes all the angles of a dance party, always suspended in and out of time _hopskipjump
