lyrics

I see spots; it’s all the drops of rain before they land
Life’s a beach; I’m glass and rock all battered into sand
And all that rain it dies again each time it hits the street
Did it jump or was it pushed? And did it aim for me?
I could understand that more than what you do

The times between the lines you seem
To speak so unrehearsed
Aren’t long enough for my grey stuff
To fathom what it’s worth (worth to you)
What’s worse, we’re humans shouting into space
And all that kamikaze rain shouts back into my face
And I can understand that more than what you want

When I’ve been shot I sleep a lot
And then I come back for more
And like the rain, I die again
Each time I hit the floor

about

Nat Johnson Sheffield, UK

“A treat for fans of PJ Harvey and Alela Diane” – Subba Cultcha

"Let’s talk about Nat Johnson. Sometimes people do, but not nearly loud enough or often enough, which is a shame, because she is as integral to the Sheffield scene as Kid Acne murals and Jarvis Cocker poems on the sides of buildings." - The Girls Are ... more

Sheffield Shanty II / Groucho
by Monkey Swallows the Universe

supported by 14 fans who also own “I've Been Shot”

Another nice "reunion item" done by Nat Johnson and Kevin Gori in 2016, featuring two of their songs from the 2006 debut "The Bright Carvings". Nat Johnson's Version 2.0 of "Sheffield Shanty" has undergone a complete overhaul, shining with a full-blown wind arrangement now, similar to the stunning "Not Now, Horse" on "Neighbour of the Year". Kevin Gori's "Groucho" - a hidden track then on "The Bright Carvings" - is a quite faithful rendering of the original version, except that he's singing a bit less out of tune here... yes, really!
