lyrics

Self medication
It’s my motivation
Feels like meditation

It’s too late, it’s too late, it’s too late for me
It’s too late for me
And I know it feels good

In my situation
There’s no way unless you make one
But there’s so much temptation

It’s too late, it’s too late, it’s too late for me
It’s too late for me
And I know it takes two, baby

Constantly waiting
And getting impatient
You’re my foundation

It’s too late, too late, too late for me
It’s too late for me

So faded
High and I’m staying
It feels like I’m amazing

Will I ever leave you?

You take me high
You take me away
From all the pain and suffering
I feel everyday

They say you’re no good for me
And I know that too
But I don’t know other way
I don’t know what to do

The world is so cold without you
You take me above the clouds
Closer to the sun
You make it feel it better

Why is that we do this dance that we do?
But I know it takes two
To keep this thing going
Between me and you
It’s too late

I want you for all the wrong reasons
Why didn’t you stay away
You know you’re no good for me
You know I want you to stay

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

Track 7 is simply wonderful. Everything just melts and fades away - as if I was traveling into a dream. Nathaniel Dykstra
