lyrics

How I'd like to drink with you in your kitchen late at night
How we'd talk
Don't be lonely in the dark

I see you in that chair
Come to life, come to England

Well the squirrel leaps on the sycamore bones
And in my nose is the gentle sting of winter
And I picture you on a walk in the hills
Were your fingers red when you walked in England?

Well the man in the sky might be married now
The wind may have carried your bonnet down
But now you're unburied we won't forget
That you lived alone, you lived alone

How I'd like to drink with you in your kitchen late at night
How we'd talk
Don't be lonely in the dark

Sheffield Shanty II / Groucho
by Monkey Swallows the Universe

supported by 20 fans who also own “Lonely in the Dark (live demo)”

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!

"…I first stumbled into Emma Kupa via Mammoth Penguins and with a solo album in the works, this 6-track EP is a good a place as any to start... wry, semi-autobiographical and heartfelt melancholic lyrics pair perfectly alongside gentle indie-folk hued feet-tapping melodies and Emma's home-spun vocals.... throw in added banjo and what's not to like? Not so much a record as a chat with a long-lost friend holed up in a cosy snug…" https://reclaimingthecolonies-onestateatatime.blogspot.com steveinsocal
