not really beth gibbons, more suzanne vega and françoise hardy like. shes more or less famous here, not huge like, but sort of big. ace stuff anyway!

i sow the memories i love
alone or as a duet
my years of roaming
i dare to turn a lys into a rose
to take the time, to pose
i am the wizzard of Oz

i forget in the orange light
where i get familiar with the angels
i am an illusionist
unfortunately i forget that i miss you
how years pass by
im not a sad clown

i like to dream of a carnival
of the aurora borealis
from the Atlantic to the Ural mountains
although i got bruises, i dare
to speak about life in a pink way
re-recreate the world in prose

i forget in the orange light
where i get familiar with the angels
i am an illusionist
unfortunately i forget that i miss you
how years pass by
im not a sad clown

 

[Mariner]

you did that for me? youre so nice

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

[sol83]
