I Was Promised Magic

This is something
Maybe even good
But I was promised more
I was promised more
This is something
Or maybe mild joy
But I was promised magic
But I was promised magic
I was promised more
(I was promised magic)
I was promised...
Oh, and this ain't magic
This is nothing
The sound of reaping what you sow
But I was promised more
I was promised more
It's distraction
A way to kill the time at best
But I was promised magic
I was promised...
Oh, and this ain't magic
This ain't magic
This is not...
This is Brando
Maybe Michael Caine,
But I was promised more
I was promised Moore
Smoke and mirrors
Maybe sleight of hand
But I was promised magic
I was promised magic

One lazy afternoon I lay in my bed
Thinking 'bout a memory I've never shared
Rounding the sliproad onto the parkway
In an Impreza on a late spring day
I wasn't thinking about my insurance as I sped away...
I felt so alive as the turbo kicked in
I felt so alive as the turbo kicked in
Ooh ooh

Ghost in my room,
bending up my spoons,
stealing my stuff
In sheets we do
the stupid things we do,
can't get enough
It's not a metaphor, cos
I've seen these things before, and
nothing could matter more than you
Put your hand through mine
my love is genuine
Haunt me all the time
I'll be your skeleton
My gentle breeze,
you see right through me.
Who needs the light?
We trick and treat
underneath our sheets.
We are the night
It's not a metaphor, cos
I've seen these things before, and
nothing could matter more than you
Put your hand through mine
my love is genuine
Haunt me all the time
I'll be your skeleton
take my hand, run through my mind
and levitate my heart my heart sometime
Ghost in my room,
messing up my shoes,
there's only you
And if they laugh and tell you
our love is insubstantial,
who needs some body anyway?
Put your hand through mine
my love is genuine
Haunt me all the time
I'll be your skeleton

Apple Champagne

Dreams fall down
scattered like used cigarettes on the ground
Time goes by
but still the tear stained cheeks are not quite dry
And it may seem strange
(not very strange)
but I do understand
(no you don't understand)
I'm there before
I'm going down so low
People lie
People make mistakes and so do I
Strange days now long gone
but still the scent I bought you lingers on
And it may seem strange
(not very strange)
but I do understand
(no you don't understand)
I'm there before
I'm going down solo
When she said
cider is apple champagne
I knew that the pain was the pleasure
was part of the pain
When she said
cider is apple champagne
I knew that the pain was the pleasure
was part of the pain
Oh yeah...
When she said
(she said)
cider is apple champagne
(cider is apple champagne)
I knew that the pain was the pleasure
was part of the pain
(the pleasure goes on/the pressure is strong)
When she said
(she said)
cider is apple champagne
(cider is apple champagne)
I knew that the pain was the pleasure
was part of the pain
(the pleasure goes on/the pressure is strong)

In Search of the Miraculous
by Desperate Journalist

Really enjoyed this album. A neat mix of The Cure with vocals from the Cranberries. With a little shoe gaze thrown in for good measure. A very pleasing mix that is worth the time. Favorite Track: Jonatan

Jo Bevan is one of the best singers in modern rock. The band is tight and talented and does some nifty post-punky style stuff. This album has some exceptional songs on it.
