January 19 twee liih citeeyaay! it's the best song, quite possibly, of 2007, which i stumbled across in early january of 2008, naturally. Bit slow on the upswing these past few months.
Anyway, here it is, the absolutely stunning - in that sort of it's 1983 and, i don't have a job, and I'm somewhere between sad and angry coz magret thatcher has just burned my village and my family has the black plague, but all i really want is a big baby blue cadillac - Glasvegas. Daddy's Gone
I couldn't understand it either. Something about a 'oh oh, havell as my ear oh? ... oh oh and future makes me laugh ... a filthy hero a mess ...kickup for a laptop....oh dear why...this cat dude, your wife? I won't be the only one, sad on my own sad, a fifty hero sad on his own sad. forget your daddy's gone ....oh ooh oooh lalal lala oooh lalalala ohoooh.'
These are the real words, apparently.
how you are my hero / how you're never here though
remember times when you put me on your shoulders / how i wish it was forever you would hold us right now i'm too young to know / how in the future it will affect me when you go you could have had it all / you, me, and mum y`know / anything was possible i won't be the lonely one, sitting on my own and sad a fifty year old reminiscing what i had forget your dad, he's gone all i wanted was a kick-a-bout in the park / for you to race me home when it was nearly getting dark how i could've been yours and you'd be mine / it could've been me and you until the end of time do what you want, when you want / be as insincere as you can what kind of way is that to treat your wife to see your son on saturdays, what way is that to live your life? i won't be the lonely one, sitting on my own and sad a fifty year old reminiscing what i had that's awfully large print.
and this is the greatest 'new' singer in my collection. A sparkling gem from amongst the rubble of grunge. A truly iconic voice.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mark Lanegan. House A Home
And he's done some new stuff with Soulsavers. I like it, especially Kingdoms of Rain, which I'm too lazy to link to, but it's there if you look for it.
