Old man lying by the side of the road With the lorries rolling by, Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load And the buildings scrape the sky, Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn And the morning paper flies, Dead man lying by the side of the road With the daylight in his eyes. Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning, Find someone who's turning And you will come around. Blind man running through the light of the night With an answer in his hand, Come on down to the river of sight And you can really understand, Red lights flashing through the window in the rain, Can you hear the sirens moan? White cane lying in a gutter in the lane, If you're walking home alone. Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning, Just find someone who's turning And you will come around. Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning, Just find someone who's turning And you will come around.

Long ago, and, oh, so far away I fell in love with you before the second show Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear But you're not really here, it's just the radio Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby I love you, I really do Loneliness is such a sad affair And I can hardly wait to be with you again What to say to make you come again? Come back to me again and play your sad guitar Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby I love you, I really do Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby I love you, I really do Songwriters RUSSELL, LEON / BRAMLETT, BONNIE / BRAMLETT, DELANEY Published by Lyrics © Chrysalis One Music, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc., EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group

You're so gorgeous I'll do anything I'll kiss you from your feet To where your head begins You're so perfect You're so right as rain You make me, make me, make me Make me hungry again Everything you do is irresistible Everything you do is simply kissable Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? I'll run around in circles 'Til I run out of breath I'll eat you all up Or I'll just hug you to death You're so wonderful Too good to be true You make me, make me, make me Make me hungry for you Everything you do is simply delicate Everything you do is quite angelicate Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? You turn my head when you turn around You turn the whole world upside down I'm smitten, I'm bitten, I'm hooked, I'm cooked I'm stuck like glue You make me, make me, make me Make me hungry again Everything you do is simply dreamy Everything you do is quite delicious So why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? You're simply elegant

about

Burt Bacharach, Robert Smith, and Patsy Cline walk into a bar...
Familar songs take on new identities in the hands of The Incidentals. Material from Patsy Cline to Neil Young, from The Cure to The Carpenters, gets reinterpreted with drama, mystery, and soul. A simple line up of guitar, upright-bass, and drums is fronted by Sioban Dixon's dynamic vocals creating a sound that draws on their combined experience of playing indie, soul, americana, jazz, punk, and experimental musics. The Incidentals are full of contradictions - simultaneously familiar and strange, both a tribute and a deconstruction, a moody noirish celebration that shouldn't work but totally, totally does.
