OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VIIII: Nine lives, cat's eyes



For those who love finger picking and good lyrics!

I love the things that I have made
Lights upon the sky, spinning all the while
And all the places that I've been
Are easy to forget
Just like the way that she used to smile

And everything is witnessed
Through moving panes of glass
Winter sunlight flashing through the trees
Christmas lights and snow to come
Falling soft and silent like a wish
Or a blanket on the years

Sleepless dreams like drunkards
Trying to stagger home
All across the empty land
And the things that I was sure of
Are buried safe away
Deep in the frozen ground
 
For as much success as the Levellers had...

I actually always thought the "Drunk in Public" (basically the Levellers and a guy called Rev Hammer) were some of the best stuff they ever did.



Mainly because they played this song (a Rev Hammer song and not a Levellers song) and it always stuck with with me. Just a very good English/Irish folk song. Feels like it is an old classic even though it was written in probably the early 90s.
