Besides being famous as the lead guitarist, backing vocalist and occasional lead vocalist of the rock band Blur, Graham Coxon is a critically acclaimed solo artist.
Crow Sit on Blood Tree was his third solo album, released in 2001. It is perhaps the darkest and quietest of Coxon's albums (seven in total).
Lyrics:
Walls bleed pictures bend their fractured frames
Features on canvas torn
Burning mirror breaking down to sand
Free from jails of form
The black water future I see
So hard to drain
The small child in everyone is forced to bleed
To live life again
The light every closer we believe
Is only a place for grief
Every life's so small we call it precious
And every soul is loved above
Days glide through a skin of open pores
Stretched on bended frames
Years long on sanded banks around your shores
Counting every grain
Words form poisoned worlds I never see
So hard to hear
Ring the bell of truth in every dream
No life, no fear
Every night brings disasters to our rooms
A life time inside you
