    Oooooh! Just been listening to them! One of my faves is 'It Can't Come Quickly Enough' both for the lyrics and the haunting tune:

    Sailling through the tunnels
    In the morning by yourself
    There's a very special feeling
    True sensation all is well
    If you stand and reach your arms out wide
    Close your eyes and try to fly
    It's an underground illusion
    Tricking you from side to side

    We knew all the answers
    And we shouted them like anthems
    Anxious and suspicious
    That god knew how much we cheated

    It can't come quickly enough
    And now you've spent your life
    Waiting for this moment
    And when you finally saw it come
    It passed you by and left you so defeated

    Skyscrapers rise between us
    Keeping me from finding you
    If the concrete architecture
    Dissapeared there'd be so few
    Of us left to navigate and
    Defend ourselves from the tide
    It's an underground illusion
    Tricking you from side to side

    There's no indication of
    What we were meant to be
    Sucking up to strangers
    Throwing wishes to the sea

    It can't come quickly enough
    And now you've spent your life
    Waiting for this moment
    And when you finally saw it come
    It passed you by and
    Left you so defeated

    My husband saw them once when they were supporting DuranDuran, he loves them. I've just bought him their latest album for a christmas present.

    Sademo - That's one of my faves.

    I can't believe they were supporting Duran Duran and not the other way around! ;-)

    Ellie - I've been really ill for the last few weeks, a bad chest infection which has just gotten worse and worse to the point of cughing up cup fulls of blood. Docs have put me on an inhaler/ventilator thing and other meds and I am hoping I will be better soon, but pretty low at the mo especially for missing the Scissors which I had been looking forward to for months and months!

    C'est la vie!
