lyrics

Comfort never comes to those who compromise the melody

Hidden in the minor notes: the failure of the family

I am sorry/that’s alright

I’d forgotten I could speak

You are wrong and I am right; march forever next to me

Don’t say more, some live and some learn

But all this stuff is starting to burn

I’ve got the ride if you’ve got the answers

And I was just saying it’s not your fault

Sure, it’s a ray of love, but just stand to the side so it doesn’t mess with your heartbeat

I have nearly won myself, gathering these parts of me

But I keep a piece apart for the fortune of the family

Standard lies, a sickly room

Hallow the lowest point

I’ve got the money if you’ve got the answers

And I was just saying I could believe

Sure, it’s a ray of love, but just stand to the side

So it doesn’t mess with your heartbeat

I was just saying it’s not your fault

And I’m speaking to everyone at the same time

I’ve got the money if you’ve got the answers

And I was just saying I could believe

Sure, it’s a ray of love, but just stand to the side

So it doesn’t mess with your heartbeat

I was just saying it’s not your fault

And I’m gathering all these bad parts of me

I was just saying it’s not your fault

And I’m speaking for everyone at the same time

I’ve got the money if you’ve got the answers

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 “March, March”

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!
