The weight of the water
It holds you and tortures time away from me
The shape sits beneath your earlobe
I’m counting time away from you
Emptiness follows me
Emptiness follows me
The state of our city
It answers to pity
And time away from you
Always reaction
Our looming retraction
As you move through me
Emptiness follows me
Emptiness follows me
Emptiness follows me
Emptiness follows me
The weight of the water
It holds you and tortures time away from m
e
The shape sits beneath your earlobe
I’m counting time away from you

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
