(McNabb)
It was sometime after midnight
I was looking for a friend
My headlights lit her body by some pine trees on a bend
I slowed down right beside her
I turned the music down
She looked around then climbed inside
She didn't make a sound
Evangeline!
Well, soon we started talking
I asked her for her name
She said it's not important but I'll tell you anyway
My Mother loved the bayou
My Daddy worked the land
They named me after what they loved
So the world would understand
Evangeline!
We stopped just past the crossroads
She thanked me once again
I didn't wanna leave her but I drove on just the same
I thought about her story
Words whispered from her mouth
Her bauty and her innocence a credit to the South
Evangeline!
I could not believe, she was gone when I returned
The forest's evening choruse was the only sound I heard
Now if you ever see her,
Be sure to say hello
Her levelled thumb may stop you if you're Westbound and alone
Evangeline!
The Icicle Works sono stati una band inglese di alternative rock attiva durante gli anni '80. Il nome della band deriva dalla storia breve del 1960 "Il giorno in cui chiusero le fabbriche di cristalli" dell'autore di fantascienza Frederik Pohl. I The Icicle Works si unirono all'onda di "neo-psichedelia" di Liverpool degli anni '80, che ha lanciato al successo anche band come Echo and the Bunnymen e The Teardrop Explodes. Il loro sound era caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, riff chitarristici potenti e testi introspettivi. Il loro album di debutto, "The Icicle Works", uscito nel 1980, ha ricevuto un'accoglienza positiva dalla critica. Tra i brani più noti della band ci sono "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)", "Love Is the Law" e "Great Expectations". La band si è sciolta negli anni '90 ma ha avuto un impatto significativo sulla scena musicale britannica degli anni '80.

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.
