Glasvegas - Cruel Moon (Live on KEXP Seattle, with lyrics)

A very moving and heartfelt performance of 'Cruel Moon'. I prefer this version to the 'Snowflake E.P.' recording. James Allan's voice has never sounded so delicate... It's just beautiful. Taken from the single, 'FLOWERS & FOOTBALL TOPS' (2009). LISTEN LOUD.

James Allan - vocals & acoustic guitar. Rab Allan - electric guitar.

Slipping in and out of unconsciousness
Homeless is where the heart is
Walk on by, and I'll be fine
This cardboard cover, keeps away the gales of the night

Coz at some points I think this ain't real
Some nights I say this shouldn't be me
It's Christmas Eve and I'm out on the street
But with a lifetime to spare and it hurts me, the truth

Under this cruel moon

Slipping in and out of unconsciousness
Homeless is where the heart is
So walk on by, and I'll be fine
This cardboard cover, keeps away the gales of the night

I know it's late and you're thinking I'm crazy
I shared the same dreams as you did, yesterday
You think that this is a world away
Beware of darkness for this could be you some day

Under this cruel moon

I know it's late and you're thinking I'm crazy
I shared the same dreams as you did, yesterday
You think that this is a world away
Beware of darkness for this could be you some day

Under this cruel moon

For this could be you some day
Under this cruel moon
For this could be you some day
Under this cruel moon
For this could be you some day
Under this cruel moon

@robsargent4 I think he wanted to say "I guess the most of you are english-speaker but you have to know that this is the best song I've ever heard" his german spelling is a bit confusing! :)

[robsargent4]

@Marcelfromm1 You know the most since English people? Obviously my German's not up to scratch - I've been a bit out of practice lately - so I really can't make sense of what you said on the first line. Interesting version of the song anyway.
