Track 3 - Sweet Thing.

by Nightjar Mon Sep 07, 2020 8:38 pm

Sweet Thing.

This is one of my dozen-or-so favourite Bovvie tracks.

It's safe in the city, to love in a doorway
To wrangle some screens from the door
And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger?

Like a portrait in flesh, who trails on a leash
Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely?
So I'll break up my room, and yawn and I
Run to the centre of things
Where the knowing one says

[CHORUS]
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing, sweet thing
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap
thing

I'm glad that you're older than me
Makes me feel important and free
Does that make you smile, isn't that me?
I'm in your way, and I'll steal every moment

If his trade is a curse, then I'll bless you
And turn to the crossroads, and hamburgers, and...

These next 3 songs are great, the second of silence between the bit don't help.

Garson is triffic on keyboards.

Herbie Flowers on bass again.

Falling apart a bit.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Sep 07, 2020 8:41 pm

Track 4 - Candidate.

by Nightjar Mon Sep 07, 2020 8:42 pm

One of a few strange and fascinating segments on the album...

by Nightjar Mon Sep 07, 2020 8:43 pm

But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier mache
Making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay

Only D. Bovvie.

Track 5 - Sweet Thing (Reprise).

by Nightjar Mon Sep 07, 2020 8:44 pm

We'll buy some drugs and watch a band
Then jump in the river holding hands

Someone needed to tell him not to put jarring gaps between the songs. Colbert

by Nightjar Mon Sep 07, 2020 8:45 pm

Queen-esque.

On the original LP it didn't even have that little groove thing where on song stops and the next one started.
