One of Lady Slowlane and my all time favouritesā¦
Me and the ex-wife used to consider āour tuneā to be Plaistow Patricia, from the same album. Purely for the opening line.
Fuckin hellā¦what a lyricā¦
The Minus is loveless
He talks to the land
And the leaves fall
And the pond over-ices
She donāt know the system Plus
She donāt understand
Sheās got all the wrong fuses and splices
Sheās not going to fix it up
Too easy
The masking tape tangles
Itās sticky and black
And the copper
Proud headed Queen Lizzie
Conducts little charges
That donāt get charged back
Well the technical manualās busy
Sheās not going to fix it up too easy
And she holds out her flashlight
And she shines it on me
She wants me to tell her
What the trouble might be
Well Iām learning
Itās peaceful
With a good dog and some trees
Out of touch with the breakdown
Of this century
Theyāre not going to fix it up
Too easy
We once loved together
And we floodlit that time
Input output electricity
But the lines overloaded
And the sparks started flying
And the loose wires
Were lashing out at me
Sheās not going to fix that up
Too easy
But she holds out her candle
And she shines it in
And she begs him to show her
How to fix it again
While the song that he sang her
To soothe her to sleep
Runs all through her circuits
Like a heartbeat
Sheās not going to fix it up
Too easy
