This was the first single from the second album, Ether Song. According to the critics this is the song that gave Turin Brakes balls… Well if they say so… I just think it’s an amazing song! Olly: ‘Long Distance’ is a celebration of the moment when you finally let someone get under your skin. Coming from an isolated place, having always been at a distance, and finally letting someone else into your world. That moment when you finally let someone in. That songs just that moment, but exploited. And that’s scary which is why the song sounds a bit like its going to break or crack.
Well if this gets ugly, I’d swear this ain’t our last chance.
The vultures that circle my head are flying alongside.
The world’s turning…
I let somebody get under my skin,
Long distance losing is all that I’ve seen,
Now there’s a river,
Now there’s a river.
Nothing can save me, my reserve betrayed me, here come the hurricanes.
I’m burning to get there, the middle of nowhere, storm warnings flicker while,
The world’s turning…
I let somebody get under my skin,
Long distance losing is all that I’ve seen,
Now there’s a river,
Now there’s a river.
I let somebody get under my skin,
Long distance losing is all that I’ve seen,
Now there’s a river,
Now there’s a river.
Two black lineS SCREAMING NOW like a GARDEN line.
Put one foot on the road now where the SUNBEAMS are driving,
With the WD-40 YEAH
screeching little brakes complain.
With MY briefcase empty and the holes in my shoes,
I try to stay friendly for the SHIMMERY ABLUE.
So tell my secretary now to hold ONTO my calls,
I believe I can hear through these walls.
Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can’t be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you’d always fall for the underdog.
Well I’ve been dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust,
MMMMMMMMMMM DONE THE LUST
And with THE MM number 9 ticked off OF my mind,
Oh can you hear me screaming out now through the telephone line.
Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can’t be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you’d always fall for the underdog
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
I MEAN I’M NOT GOING TO DISS MY LYRICAL TALENTS BUT THIS WASNT MY BEST. I THINK I SHOULD REALLY REALLY MAKE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO LEARN THE RIGHT WORDS BEFORE THE GLASGOW GIG!
