Yet another coincidence regarding the recent atrocity. Someone mentioned
this song in an email to me, (I don't think it was from this list). I
decided to let you read the lyrics.
It's by Neil Finn and is called Turn and Run. It's from his new album that
Jim Moginie plays on, One Nil (I always feel obliged to mention an Oils
link). It's a great song, but you can't help feeling he wrote it about the
World Trade Centre/Pentagon disasters. It was written last year sometime.
Regards
Stephen.
TURN AND RUN. NEIL FINN
There’s a light overhead
overhead
In the sky overhead
overhead
And I’m with you now in body and music and mind
And we’re silent and still
Everything’s so out of control tonight
In a plane that’s flying fast
At a speed that makes me cry
Have you left me now
To trouble that won’t let me lie
I’m awake all the time
You know where I stand
Holding my plastic gun
So turn and run
You cold killers of innocence
Against us there’s no defence
Your flash and your wickedness
You can’t break our love
Tie my hands behind my back
Put a gag on top of my mouth
But I won’t give you up
Till silverware’s covered in dust
And my shoes fall apart
And the tumbleweed runs
Over my desert heart
So turn and run
You cold killers of innocence
Against us there’s no defence
Your flash and your wickedness
Will surely bring you down again
Somehow we must stay afloat
Won’t give in to the undertow
Something’s you will never know
You can’t break our love
You can pull us down
But you can’t break our love
