about

an altogether darker affair than the earlier version. this one's got stuff moving round in the basement, like the ghosts of centurions stumbling in the darkened beer cellar of the Bridge Hotel.

lyrics

i was watching Time Team last Sunday evening, so i let you talk to the answerphone. Tony Robinson was getting misty-eyed about a Celtic brooch worn by some woman 2000 years ago. An edwardian archaeologist destroyed the facts that didn't fit, and erased the golden city that he sought. I'm not looking for Troy, just a little j-o-y. Under the foundations of this pub, little Romans in little leather sandals drank with the locals, played dice for coppers, wrapped themselves in blankets, blew out the candles and dreamt of someone a long way away.
