long term loan

about

inspired by Kathryn Williams' voice, really, and thoughts of impermanence. Way back in the days. A reference to Helen of Troy and the Sirens' song in "the face that launched a thousand ferries, the voice that called them home" (we had a few trips on the North Shields ferry).

lyrics

Brilliance and stupidity are never really your own. You'll have to give them back one day - call it a long-term loan. The face that launched a thousand ferries, the voice that called them home - you'll have to give them back one day: call it a long-term loan. Feelings say they're going to stay forever, then feelings go. If you can find a heart here you can have it - call it a long-term loan.
