Scott Walker - Montague Terrace (in blue)

From the CD Scott

The little clock's stopped ticking now
We're swallowed in the stomached rue
The only sound to tear the night
Comes from the man upstairs

His bloated belching figure stomps
He may crash through the ceiling soon
The window sees trees cry from cold
And claw the moon

But we know don't we
And we'll dream won't we
Of Montague Terrace in blue

The girl across the hall makes love
Her thoughts lay cold like shattered stone
Her thighs are full of tales to tell
Of all the nights she's known

Your eyes ignite like cold blue fire
The scent of secrets everywhere
A fist filled with illusions
Clutches all our cares

But we know don't we
And we'll dream won't we
Of Montague Terrace in blue oh in blue

Teddy ! Never mind the music (which I know you love , secretly } . Just tell me which european (or Russian) City this is Post WW2

This is the aftermath of the San Francisco earthquake! 1906 I believe.

Apart from the superb phrasing techniques, master delivery and out-of -this world voice, there's just one thing that never ceases to fascinate me: his DICTION is utterly impeccable. Every syllable, every word in every single song (either solo or with the Walkers) is crystal clear and I do believe it's a rare virtue. He would make a wonderful 'diseur'.

Ravishing song, one of his greatest, beautifully served by your images.

Scott Walker has immortality written all over him.

Scott is responsible for a lot of cool.

I've listened to this several times and will by the CD that has this song. He holds notes like magic and his tone, enunciation, and range blow me away. He is beyond sensual and draws your soul into the song. Truly one of the greatest male vocalists of our time! By the way, I am a generation X'er and a an American 13'er who appreciates his musical genius.

Hey, you couldn't just pop in to a session of the X Factor and find this sort of musical genius. I t comes in a once of a life time scenario. And, some of us were lucky enough to be there while it happened. Just wish i could have made more of him. Still, the memories are fantastic. Thanks for posting Guidofski.
