There's a shark shaped fin
In the water of my dreams
An alligator screams from the depths there
I'd swim with you there
I'd swim with you there, yeah yeah
In the house that I use
There's a psycho on the loose
He's playing with the fuse of a bomb there
I could live with you there
I could live with you there
Bye bye long day
I need to sleep so much
You shine on me
Too much is not enough
On the sheets and pillow case
In my bed for heaven's sake
The devil's dancing until late in my head there
But I could sleep with you there
I could sleep with you there
Always
Always
Bye bye long day I need to sleep so much
Nineteen hours straight
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Undivide your love
Undivide your love

| greyfin10 (Panama City, FL) | Posted: Feb 10, 2012 - 16:20 It occurs now to me why I liked Elbow so much on the first listen. There's some DNA here... Maybe not the song as much as the voice? |
| SlinkyJ (NJ) | Posted: Nov 07, 2011 - 09:14 Yay! CW is one of the most underappreciated bands ever. THANK YOU for playing them. |
| gigikent | Posted: Aug 05, 2011 - 01:12 I could have sworn it's that pink floyd song from before and was wondering if it will ever end... (as some might argue, I'm not the most knowledgeable pink floyd listener) |
| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Aug 05, 2011 - 01:11 Fripp after Floyd? Perfect! |
| Canlistener (Ontario Canada) | Posted: Jul 04, 2011 - 16:21 These guys were what I was listening to when the big radio air-play battle was between Oasis and Stone Roses. Always preferred CW to either of the later two. |

This reminds me very much of the Talk Talk song that Bill plays here, I think it's "I Believe in You" off the Spirit of Eden album. EDIT: and now reading on All Music I see their is good reason we recognize the similarity! Tim Friese-Greene (renowned for his unerring sense of atmosphere and nuance) became an unofficial member of Talk Talk and later went on to produce Catherine Wheel's Ferment & Chrome albums... |

| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Jul 21, 2010 - 17:42 Mmmmmnnnn, this is nice....! Somehow I never added any Catherine Wheel to my collection past "Ferment", which I still pull out now and again — I think I need to check out Chrome. |
