Lyrics:
How does someone with nothing end
up with so much to show for it
All kinds of people, places, and things
Your cheap doormats and decorations
And to think it was all just a dream
One fantastic hallucination
Keep on polishing your golden
wall of trophies and self portraits
We'll just smile and wait till he knocks off
your designer rose colored glasses
And you'll see what we see - nothing but
old dust, peeled paint, and broken glasses
A simple imprint, imagine
I was the hill we walked
I was the walk that swung from your leg
I was your words that cast in my thoughts
Those who say dream are just dreams
say words end when you can't hear them
Listen closely as they fade
and witness the worlds construction

@macphistomo . Could not agree more mate. They are playing ILU on the BBC 6 Music playlist. How I got to hear them (whilst sawdust making in my guitar workshop). Like em a lot, refreshing band, with a shade of the Coctou Twins? I s the David Lowery directing ILU vid the same fro mCVB/Cracker? Great vid as well.
Love John.

very true, but at the same time i'm glad this and many others are not cuz then it would be tarnished by the masses and molested on continuous non variety playlists over and over. when its out on its own its nice, cuz when it comes around, its like a gem in music, rare, but beautiful while it lasts.

Best band in the world right now...No doubt about it. This is what should be played on mainstream radio...instead of the soulless crap that does get played.
