![]() Road To Rouen (2005) [ larger cover art ] |
Before the time of the morning sandman
I can find my way around
Soon be here at the borderline I guess
Armageddon coming down
And here lies a pretty state again
It's time to make a move on
Cos in three days I'll be out of here
And it's not a day too soon
Firelight, the light of love, burns
Turns to ashes in your hand
So to bed by the morning light I guess
I'm awake and understand
Set sail for St. Petersburg
Making use of my time
Cos in three days I'll be out of here
And it's not a day too soon
Head out to a better life
I can get a job, settle down
I'm full of love, of a full of feeling
I can't stand the here and now
Leave town for pity's sake you know
It's time to make a move on
Cos in three days I'll be out of here
And it's not a day too soon
Yeah, three days I'll be out of here
And it's not a day too soon

| jimoore | Posted: Sep 25, 2007 - 16:21 These guys have some supergrass. |
| Paul_in_Australia (Melbourne) | Posted: Sep 09, 2007 - 22:39 The bass player sleep-walked out of a first floor window and broke his back. Maybe their next album title will be less portentous? |

Kinda catchy. Kinda funny also that Superdrag just released an album called Changin' Tires on the Road to Ruin |
| Wizzuvvoz (straddling the fence at the groin of America) | Posted: Apr 21, 2007 - 11:06 Heard em on RP first and now I'm a big fan. Really like this album. |
| vandal (arriving somewhere, but not here. . .) | Posted: Apr 06, 2007 - 15:32 Rouen: "A city of northern France on the Seine River west-northwest of Paris. Of pre-Roman origin, it was repeatedly raided by the Norse in the ninth century, became the capital of medieval Normandy in the tenth century, and was held by the English from 1418 to 1449. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake here in 1431. Population: 105,000." - freedictionary.com |
| TimeWaster | Posted: Apr 06, 2007 - 15:31 Great album. I bought it after hearing it here on RP. I also like the cover - I used to do a lot of long-exposure photography. |

Exactly. Rather than us contrbute to RP, maybe RP should subsidise the listeners, as we are compelled to go out and buy music we might otherwise not have heard, let alone bought. I take all usual cards, and cash. Especially cash. A$29.95 = US$23.21. Thank you. |

| SpamNRice (Vicenza, Italy) | Posted: Jul 13, 2006 - 23:45 The end of this sounded like it was segueing into Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" (the live version) and it being early in the a.m. that's what I was... err, it was.. the hell with it... nice sound... goodnight... good morning... |
| penumbra (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) | Posted: Jul 05, 2006 - 12:51 They have the appeal of something much further back. I really like it. |
