Mercury


The air is so cold tonight
Here, let me put my arm around you
I've never seen you looking quite
So winsome

It feels like I'm sixteen again
Secret touches when no-body sees
And I don't even like champagne
But I'll drink some

Your skin is so cold to touch
Well, you know, you'd be a whole lot warmer in my bed
Oh, have I just said too much?
Well, don't listen!

Explanations are not required
Just two bottles of St. Emilion
And your eyes do look very tired
But they still glisten

You're laughing at things I say
Then, suddenly, you're staring into space
I'd really like you to stay
Now I'm feeling bolder

But you're telling me little tales
And I think there are lots of things that I should know
Just keep running your fingernails
Across my shoulder

The phone's ringing at 3 a.m.
Well, if you know who it is, why don't you go?
It's because you don't want to speak to them
While I am near you

And I know where you want to be
You're in my hands but I just bet you'll slip away
You'll trickle like mercury
And I won't hear you

Tonight I'll do just what you say
Tomorrow is another day
You don't have to tell me anything
I won't make you tell me anything

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Wedding Present è una band indie rock britannica formatasi a Leeds nel 1985. Il nucleo originale era composto da David Gedge (voce, chitarra) e Keith Gregory (basso), che avevano precedentemente suonato insieme nei Lost Pandas. La formazione si completò con Simon Rogers alla batteria. La loro musica è caratterizzata da melodie orecchiabili, testi introspettivi e un sound chitarristico potente, influenzato dal post-punk e dalla new wave. Tra i brani più noti figurano "Brassneck", "My Favourite Dress" e "Take Me Home". The Wedding Present hanno pubblicato numerosi album di successo, tra cui il loro debutto omonimo del 1987 e l'album cult "Bizzaro" (1989). La band ha attraversato diverse fasi di evoluzione nel corso degli anni, con cambiamenti nella formazione e sperimentazioni sonore. Nonostante le varie vicissitudini, The Wedding Present rimangono una presenza costante nell'indie rock britannico, apprezzati per la loro longevità e la capacità di evolvere senza perdere il proprio stile distintivo.
