A Very Special Life
04:37

|
Take me to the South of France my love
Buy me champagne by the cask
Pay my debts and keep me entertained
Surely not too much to ask ?
I must have money, I must have fame
I’m sure to shine so bright
I must lead a very special life
I’m still waiting on my break
Surely there’s been some kind of mistake ?

I Remember the Winter
03:30

I remember the Winter
And how the ice would shine
The first light on the hilltop
Then the day was mine
I remember the Winter
But it’s not cold anymore
Keep my coat in the closet
And close the door
Now the sun in the morning
Brings no warm relief
(it's a silent warning on repeat)
I wait for the Winter
I’m afraid of the fall

I’m losing my memories
Sat watching the birds
I’m trying to tell you
But I can’t find the words
Hey you - I get lost again every now and then
I can’t remember that song
Hey you - when you reappear I can meet you here
Try and find a time we belong
Drive up the volcano
See how they run
Don’t know where we’re going
But I know you’re the one …
Hey you - I get lost again every now and then
I can’t remember that song
Hey you - when I reappear will you meet me here ?
Try and find a time we belong

Manta Ray
05:43
|
|||
|
No one could get to you in time
Lying awake I see your face
Spinning in circles through the night
The fear comes creeping in
A cold and guilty sin
We knew the sky was in your reach
You paid for more than you received
Put me in darkness, give me peace
The fear comes creeping in
A cold and guilty sin
I keep it to myself
This secret dies with me

Forever Unknown
05:14
|
|||
|
I waited for your call
Sunday evening dread
I wait for night to fall
And you, get your house in order
There’s nobody home
And you, you know that you warned ‘em
Forever unknown
Restless through the day
But I slept as never before

Dream On With Me
02:49
|
|||
|
We got sewn together, a needle and a thread
Walking backwards, looking straight ahead
Small town sunset , workers break their backs
Save your heartbreak and your life for death and tax.
She can offer up
A different way to see
Life’s a waking dream,
Dream on with me.
All the good times, good until it’s gone
Save your heartbreak and your life for later on.

Drive For You
04:57
|
|||
|
In the headlights of the cars
Find our place in the stars
And I will drive for you

Mountain Under the Sea
06:28
|
|||
|
Goodnight everyone
Streetlights glow
With too much wine
I’m tired and I need to go home
It might get worse
It might be fine
Nobody knows what they’re doing
I’m sure of less than yesterday
Nobody knows where they’re going
We’re hopelessly, just holding on
But we still hope for love
With a junkie Mum
And deadbeat Dad
There’s a mountain under the sea
It might get good
It might go bad

Silk Cut Auckland, New Zealand
In a way Auckland band Silk Cut are simply thinking aloud. Drawing on their affection for 60’s and 70’s British TV and early
90’s shoegaze, they are at once eccentric and perfectly normal.
Recorded with a load of reverb and harmony, they present like echo-chamber daydreams.
