The Communist

The second track from my second EP, "Extended Play II". 

Orléans

i’m still in search of the reasons
why fate is so unkind
why fate is so unkind

cause that fable from across the aeons
it still haunts the back of my mind

as the night comes in
and the air gets cold an thin
well you can hear the rhine
as it flows between the pines

and the mountain peak it shimmers
in the last rays of sunshine


this land’s finest maiden
serenely sat up there
so serenely sat up there 

and in that lonely haven
she combs her golden hair

golden hair and golden comb
the sweetest girl i’ve ever known 
as the river runs her by
she sings from way up high

and through the valley echoes
the song of loreley


so sudden the lonely skipper        
his heart so full of pain
his heart so full of pain

lost his mind out on the river 
the music just drove him insane

in a daydream his gaze
to the heavens he did raise
whilst the barge it went awry
the cliffs escaped his eye

another sunken victim
of the siren lorelei

Lorelei

 This is what I imagine growing old in middle-class suburbia must be like.
