i thought this was The Church when i first heard it on the way to Seoul airport on the military radio station. they didn't say who it was at the end so i googled "holding her tonic like a cross" and the rest, shall we say, is history.

*Sometime Around Midnight*And it startsSometime around midnightOr at least that's when you lose yourselfFor a minute or twoAs you standUnder the bar lightsAnd the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a whileAnd the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smileAnd that white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen herFor a whileBut you knowThat she's watchingShe's laughing, she's turningShe's holding her tonic like a crossThe room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you areSo you can smell her perfumeYou can see her lying naked in your armsAnd so there's a changeIn your emotionsAnd all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mindOf the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwinedAnd you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wineAnd she leavesWith someone you don't knowBut she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and boltsAs she walks out the doorYour blood boiling, your stomach in ropesAnd then your friends say "What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost."And you walkUnder the streetlightsAnd you're too drunk to notice that everyone's staring at youYou don't care what you look likeThe world is falling around youYou just have to see herYou just have to see herYou just have to see herYou just have to see herYou just have to see herYou know that she'll break you in two#musicwheneverthefuckiwant

Heard this song for the first time on my clock radio while just waking up first thing in the morning and it was such an emotional rush- I could just feel and picture everything he was describing perfectly. Can't get tired of this song... It rocks! Unfortunately I thought the rest of the album, which I immediately went out and bought, was god-awful :-(

It's too bad they are so underrated. They are pretty good!

I'm pretty sure the studio audience was like, "Did that just HAPPEN?" And so was I.

Your concept of a boring song, having no chorus and no bridge, does it apply to all songs in general or just this song? Cos there are many good songs that are just one long verse, such as Dylan's With God On Our Side, Boots Of Spanish Leather and Visions Of Johanna. Or do you find those songs boring too?

make that 10. Then again after listening to this song it'll make you wish you never had :*(

Anyone know where I can find this version of the song or one like it? With the quartet and the electric guitars that is.

Bands seem to always sound like S when they go on these shows. Love this band, seem them in concert - epic!
