A Beatles-y number with a dash of XTC influence.
indiepop
harmonies
smart pop
Story behind the song
Started from a guitar riff (the intro riff) and grew into one of our favorite songs.
Lyrics
I turn my steps homeward
At the day's end
Pass a kitten in the gutter
Left to fend
We're all left homeless
When the final chord is struck
Quivering and alone
Like a string waiting to be plucked
Chorus:
The girl in number six
looks a lot like you
As she stares out the window
at the walls of peeling blue
The girl in number six
Shadows fall across the fields
skies turn to gray
Found you in the attic
didn't know you'd gone away
Heart song beat proud
lamp before your eyes
The heavens opened
to let the water from the sky
[Chorus]
I take your hand in mine
lest it slip away
I've been saving up
for this rainy day
Take these eyes, hands, lips
I've no need of them
These bodies entwine
to end is to begin again
[Chorus]
