Mmmmm....... I love Alison's dreamy breathy vocals on this one. I can't make out much more of the lyric but there's a bit that goes "You don't like the stark shadows you start" I think. Does anyone know the rest?
"Your wild lies always start with wide, white lies
summer shine.
You don't like the dark, fringed by the silver sea
Always brave and pert, sunday sun your up"
Thats all i can work out. Allison alway down played her lyrics as mostly filler and made up phrases, but i think they are fantastic, and the whole package is incredible...
Thanks but its really the verse beginning at 1:50 I was trying to decipher. I think the song is about the sunrise so the bit about the shadows would make sense.
And I agree totally with your comments. Her lyrics may be part filler or made up but they're wonderfully poetic and Will's dramatic soundscapes make the perfect backdrop too (:
i didnt even know this song was on top gear. been listening to it for years. its a great song.

Ah wonderful! Thanks very much for your reply.
And after a few more listens at 1:50 its
You don't like the dark
Moon lights up the sky
You don't like the stark
shadows that you start....
as best as i can tell! Anyway, gorgeous song

Your welcome!
And your close. Here is starting at 1:50
you don't like the dark
moon is on the sky
you don't like the stars
shining down
tears start
