Beautiful track from debut LP 'Nicely Out Of Tune'. Here in single edit version with different vocal and little bit different mix. Great tune.

Bashee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor

Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw

Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more

then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor

She tied my eyes with ribbon of a silken ghostly thread

I gazed with trouble vision on an old four poster bed

Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head

and bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor

All right, Lady Eleanor

I'm all right where I am

She gazed with loving beauty like a mother to a son

like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one

Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones

the same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor

All right, Lady Eleanor

I'm all right where I am

Then creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire

a host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire

and when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher

I heard a voice above the rest screaming 'You're liar'

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor

All right, Lady Eleanor

I'm all right here in your arms

This reminds me sooo much of my first term London University. I loved also the whole Fog on the Tyne album. Alan Hull - a class act

yeh man thats a tune ,,,,,,we reacted to shit is a different way ,,,,we went with her to the land of the dancing dead,,,,,we spoke about life ,love ,and untruths ,,,,,,and kept a lid on it ,,,,but had emotion for the close ones and the lost ones ,,we weren't a pushover ,,,,but unlike these new breed of haters we stood up ,,,and well u know the rest

First single I bought on a recommendation, instead of Could It Be Forever. How glad I followed that advice.

Lady Eleanor places me in the Back Bar of The Angel, Aberystwyth, 1971 in the company of affable hippies and my wife-to-be (who is busy on the phone to her sister as I type). happy days. Happy outcomes,

A great song and the "Top of the Pops" version , for people who could not pay for full price records, was even more haunting. I have it 45 years later and still love it. PS I got the Free travel last week.

@ grassfuse........Yep, and what times they were! Growing up knowing all this fabulous music is a sure-fire cure for me, should I have a "feeling old and cranky" day. Works every time. Thanks for this old gem. Alan Hull was brilliant. RIP Alan.
