about

Fairport Convention meets "Jack" Nitzsche...
Folk song on the theme of Cain and Abel

lyrics

Why the blood on your sleeve?
Are you fashioned to leave this day
as the heavens have opened their skies
for the grain with the rain?

Why the mark on your hand?
Do you know that… your brother is dead
and your father's taken to his bed,
my dearest love, for the beaus and the arrows?

Did you strike off his name
from your heart just the same
as the Bible says Satan was cast into hell?

He was gentle and mild and he loved you so wild
that i cannot believe what this blood does me tell.

Well it's true that i did.
At the crossroads i hid
as he passed me unknown on the cold mountainside

There i struck and he fell…. as he asked me to tell
why his murder must come from my hands as he died.

He was gentle and mild
even so he beguiled this day…
oh my gentle…new bride…
so i've taken his Pride
from this world just the same… as did Cain

Songs From Another Life
by The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness

supported by 4 fans who also own “Beaus And Arrows”

The indie pop on Songs From Another Life sounds confident yet delicate, and the strummy and jangly guitars makes me long for spring. Some songs sound like straight up Teenage Fanclub worship, but in a good way. Fans of The Byrds and Big Star will probably dig this as well. Niek || Add To Wantlist
