[00:00.00]Andrew Eldritch Is Moving Back to Leeds - The Mountain Goats
[00:09.02]There's indifference on the wind
[00:11.48]But a faint gust of hope
[00:13.66]At a club nobody goes to
[00:15.98]With a musty velvet rope
[00:17.79]Guys in Motörhead jackets
[00:19.66]
[00:20.41]Who knew him way back when
[00:22.19]
[00:22.83]Haven't raised a drink in years
[00:25.00]But now meet up again
[00:26.41]
[00:27.04]To remember how it was
[00:28.89]When they all thought they'd move away
[00:30.97]
[00:31.55]And ride in Lotus 7s
[00:33.41]Through the London streets one day
[00:35.45]
[00:38.89]Nobody ever gets away
[00:40.98]
[00:47.82]Even the best of us come back some day
[00:52.10]
[00:55.91]To the unmarked rooms where the dry dust breeds
[01:01.22]
[01:04.63]Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds
[01:10.10]
[01:20.48]There's a rusted fog machine
[01:21.98]
[01:22.54]In a concrete storage space
[01:24.81]Letter number combinations
[01:26.92]With no meaning on its face
[01:29.11]They won't make these anymore
[01:30.69]
[01:31.52]It's a wooden coach-n-four
[01:33.06]
[01:33.77]No one will even steal it
[01:35.79]If you leave it by the door
[01:38.15]No sign to mark it's going
[01:40.42]No tombstone for its grave
[01:42.52]There will be goodbyes by dozens
[01:44.76]So practice being brave
[01:46.68]
[01:49.87]No one anticipates the rush
[01:52.27]
[01:58.92]The breezy feeling of the faceless crush
[02:03.45]
[02:06.93]At the ends of things where the salvage bleeds
[02:12.41]
[02:15.81]Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds
[02:21.25]
[02:23.69]They don't throw him a parade
[02:25.47]
[02:28.11]He just comes in on a train
[02:29.97]
[02:31.44]One suitcase in his hand
[02:33.11]
[02:33.63]And an old army backpack
[02:35.87]From the second world war
[02:37.55]From a Leipzig secondhand store
[02:39.61]
[02:49.21]Pick the keys up from the agent
[02:51.52]Everything's been taken care of
[02:53.55]No big changes in the roadways
[02:55.74]Since you've left that I'm aware of
[02:57.92]A few old buildings gone to dust
[03:00.32]And some new ones in the way
[03:02.52]They'll look just like the old ones
[03:04.83]When the winds have had their say
[03:06.95]See the children bound for London
[03:08.86]
[03:09.55]You'll all be back too
[03:11.54]Everybody tests the membrane
[03:13.78]But no one pushes through
[03:15.50]
[03:18.84]Come on boys that'll be enough
[03:21.00]
[03:27.61]You'd think your old friends wouldn't play so tough
[03:32.24]
[03:36.03]Like a basket by the Nile hiding down among the reeds
[03:41.23]
