There's indifference on the wind
But a faint gust of hope
At a club nobody goes to
With a musty velvet rope
Guys in Motörhead jackets
Who knew him way back when
Haven't raised a drink in years
But now meet up again
To remember how it was when they all thought they'd move away
And ride in Lotus 7s through the London streets one day
Nobody ever gets away
Even the best of us come back some day
To the unmarked rooms, where the dry dust breeds
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds
There's a rusted fog machine
In a concrete storage space
Letter-number combinations
With no meaning on it's face
They won't make these anymore
It's a wooden coach-n-four
No-one will even steal it if you leave it by the door
No sign to mark it's going, no tombstone for it's grave
There will be goodbyes by dozens, so practice being brave
No-one anticipates the rush
The breezy feeling of the faceless crush
At the end of things, where the salvage bleeds
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds
They don't throw him a parade
He just comes in on a train
One suitcase in his hand
And an old army backpack
From the second world war
From a Leipzig secondhand store
Pick the keys up from the agent
Everything's been taken care of
No big changes in the roadways
Since you've left that I'm aware of
A few old buildings gone to dust
And some new ones in the way
They'll look just like the old ones
When the winds have had their say
See the children bound for London, you'll all be back too
Everybody tests the membrane but no-one pushes through
Come on boys that'll be enough
You'd think your old friends wouldn't play so tough
Like a basket by the Nile, hiding down among the reeds
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds
The Mountain Goats are an American folk rock band formed in 1991 in Claremont, California, by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John Darnielle. The band's name comes from a Screamin' Jay Hawkins song titled "Big Yellow Coat". For much of its history, Darnielle has been the only stable member of The Mountain Goats, collaborating with a diverse group of musicians in the studio and on tour. These include bassist Peter Hughes, drummer Jon Wurster, singer-songwriter Franklin Bruno, bassist and vocalist Rachel Ware, singer-songwriter John Vanderslice, guitarist Kaki King, and Annie Clark (St. Vincent). The music of The Mountain Goats is characterized by introspective and poetic lyrics, often focusing on themes of love, loss, isolation, and spirituality. The melodies are simple but effective, with a strong emphasis on Darnielle's vocals, which possess a unique and recognizable timbre. Some of the band's most representative songs include "This Year", "No Children", "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton" and "Up the Wolves".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
