lyrics

you make me forget what a joke I have become,

for all the flowers that I didn't buy,
for all the songs that I didn't write,
for all the days I could've spent
for all the months we could've shared the rent
for all the dates on which I turned up late and
for all the excuses I could have made,
for all the calls I never made
and all the attention I never paid
for all the gestures bastardised by untruth
and all the brittle promises I made to you
for all the men you might have met
and all the time we cried in secret
for all the weeks we've been apart
and all the times I said that it would start
from here on in
I'm sorry now

Entrancing, rustic, melancholy, and at times intense. Great guitar playing mixed with hypnotic loop pedals and a voice like no other. One of the best folk albums of the 2000s and perhaps of all time. implodedbrownies
