The A-Side of the debut single of Aztec Camera, released on the scottish Postcard record label in 1981. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Over fields and hills,

Waits a train for us,

But we're here because,

And I'm counting,

Up to 9 again,

Up to 9 again,

That's how long it lasts.

Is this still a gift?

Something we can use,

Oh, I'm sorry I'm late,

But I started to wait,

And discovered I'd lost my shoes,

The gold in my excuse,

Is only there for you.

I show you jewels you've seen a thousand times,

and then I tell you that those jewels were never mine,

So when you're asking me to,

Define that feeling for you,

What can I say?

It's there until it goes away and,

If they had voices then they'd whisper threats,

When they come, they come in silhouettes.

Take my arms and tell me:

"Don't forget",

I had a story, oh I hope I hadn't told it yet, I

If I could take you there again, someday,

You'd only say we've been there, anyway.

You'd find your diamonds,

But they fade away to ask,

You're flying backwards,

Now you lose more everytime you crash and...

Now I'm aware of where it's safe to meet

I find my shoes and then I find my feet,

So when you're asking me to,

Define that feeling for you,

That's what I'll say,

It's only there until that gold just slips away.

As double A sides go, definitely right up there with Ambition/ Different Story. A truly wonderful debut 45:-)

When people talk about great singles (an old concept now, I know) but it has to be both tracks. This has to be in everyone's top ten, because We Could Send Letters was the flip.Up there with Candy Skin/Meat Whiplash and Poor Old Soul parts 1 and 2.

No none of aztec camera's postcard singles have been released on cd. There is also a bootleg tape containing songs such as 'green jacket grey', 'do you remember the docks' which were pre-postcard.

ネオアコーステックと言えば、この曲。この曲こそが全ての始まり。いつまで経っても色褪せることない、まさしくネオアコースティックの金字塔。

Superb, superb song. (one day, 25 years ago, I played this record 20 times in a row). Freudastaire ...... again ! This song and the first Aztec Camera album were absolutely marvellous.

最近アズテックカメラを聴き始めました。ロディフレイムのソングライティングに圧倒されています。もちろんギターも歌も素敵です。このシングルから全てが始まったんですね!ありがとうございます!

もう何百回とききました。彼らの1stアルバムが出るよりももっと前の初期の曲のようですね。何故、アルバムに入れなかったのでしょうか?こんなにも素晴らしいのに!
