What Are You Listening To At The Moment?

I have just listened to - The Hand That Rocks The Cradle - The Smiths, as a tribute to my Mum who died this afternoon. She always used to say, "Frank, there's that weird band you like on the radio". It will take me a while to print out the lyrics, through my tears, so bear with me.

Please don't cry

for the ghost and the storm outside

will not invade this sacred shrine

nor infiltrate your mind

my life down I shall lie

if the bogey-man should try

to play tricks on your sacred mind

to tease, torment and tantalise

wavering shadows loom

a piano plays in an empty room

there'll be blood on the cleaver tonight

and when the darknessand the room is bright

I'll still be by your side

for you are all that matters

and I'll love you till the day I die

there never need be longing in your eyes

as long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine

ceiling shadows shimmy by

and when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey

there's sadness in your beautiful eyes

your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous eyes

my life down I shall lie

should restless spirits try

to play tricks on your sacred mind

I once had a child and it saved my life

but, I never even asked his name

I just looked into his wonderous eyes

and said "never, never, never again"

and all to soon I did return

just like a moth to a flame

so rattle my bones all over the stones

I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody ownes

oh s how words as old as sin fit me like a glove

I'm here and here I'll stay

together we lie, together we pray

there never need be longing in your eyes

as long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine.

 

God bless Mum.

 

 

Really sorry to hear of your loss, centralTon, though I don't know you or your mum.

Been listening to some new stuff tonight.

 

Bon Iver

White Denim

TV on the Radio

Born Ruffians.

 

All decidedly average on first listens.

 

Also listened to the Glasvegas xmas album, I liked what I heard.

Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
