about

4 verses, 4 stories, each a love story with an unexpected twist set to an eerie sequence of unexpected chord changes and an angular Marc Ribot-esque electric guitar riff. Distorted synths and heavy muted mallets come in as hypnotic layers of guitars build and the number of lyrical twists stack up until the track is in a backwards somersault of guitars in reverse.

lyrics

Somewhere Round The Bend

I'm going round in circles
In and out of love
Each time I come back around
I see my old self from above
I'm just climbing up a screw thread
Never coming to an end
So I know I'll see you again
Somewhere round the bend

I met the love of my life
But we were far too young
We said we'd meet ten years later
But she never rung
Then I got an invite to her wedding
But I could not attend
Maybe give it ten more years
Somewhere round the bend

Well I said I didn't love you
But that just wasn't right
Or just as true as to say
That I loved you at first sight
But I had to tell you this
And I told you as a friend
So you'd go your own way and
I knew someday I'd see you
Somewhere round the bend

We said we'd never be together
And we'd never be apart
We'd just take our own paths
Right from the start
But now our story's being written on
same page but by a different pen
I know that the lines will cross
Somewhere round the bend
