Barclay James Harvest - When The City Sleeps (1972) Woolly Wolstenholme descargar videos gratis

A single B-side. Apparently this was a solo track on which everything was sung and played by Woolly Wolstenholme. My apologies for not having a photo of Woolly on his own to use for this slide show but I hope you enjoy the atmosphere created anyway. Until I came to write this I was unaware of the history behind the song and wasn't even too sure which member was singing it. I just enjoyed the song as a track on the collection "All Is Safely Gathered In".

LYRICS:

In the shining sun

My images they run

Confusing all I've done before I've begun

And every city scene

Becomes a roaring stream

A nightmare and a dream rolled into one

But when the city sleeps

I'm up and on my feet

Along the darkened streets

Hear me run

Through the empty town

Running, laughing, down

No-one else around - to bother old me

By factories I sway

My shadows seem to play

To do this in the day - I'd never be free

But when the city sleeps....
