about

Now then, now then. Here is more evidence of what we have been up to in the studio. We wanted to get this particular song out to you in the run up to Christmas. Mainly because it has bells and a glockenspiel on it and a wintery vibe and could be mistaken for a Christmas song at a pinch. It is called Oh Brother and despite what you may have been told, does not sound like Bloc Party.

lyrics

Oh Brother

Oh Brother, won’t you give me some good news before I loose my little mind?
I’ve been sleeping oh so lightly, waiting patient all my life

Now my head may burst with dark foreboding truths
I am so scared, so scared, so young, so out of tune
Can’t tell what is wrong or right anymore
I just need to see the light that first lead me to your front door

Oh Brother, won’t you give me some good news before I loose my little mind?
I’ve been sleeping oh so lightly, waiting patient all my life

All the white lies I have ever told
They cling to the dew of your grassy fold
The devil that resides in me is well aware
Of my sins --- it is to him I confess this prayer

Oh Brother, won’t you give me some good news before I loose my little mind?
I’ve been sleeping oh so lightly, waiting patiently behind
Patient all my life
Patient all my life
Patient all my life
