lyrics

Exeter, Exeter
1892
Would be the last these eyes would see you

Mother Mary waits for me
It's been so long
Sister Ollie calls for me
I must be gone
Father please forgive me I
Never was very strong
Daddy's little girl

Two long months alone
Is long enough
I want to go home
This winter box feels
Oddly like a tomb
But I need to see you
Need to eat
I want to move

To feel the sun warm on my marble skin
I lay in peace once
Still I walk again

Exeter, Exeter
I'm still a part of you
For me it's always 1892
Why Ms.Poole do you look at me like that?
Don't I look fine in my fancy hat?

What did I do to you that was so wrong?
Rip out my heart and burn it on a stone
Brother Edgar come with me
I know it hurts
But you're never really gone
In Exeter

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
