I’ve seen my reflection in trumpet bells, ocean swells, and prison cells
In sunglasses, on backstage passes, in memory and moral lapses
Seen it in the rear view, side view and morning dew
In diner spoons, full moons and long and dusty afternoons
But the only time it hypnotised
Was when I saw it in your eyes
I’ve heard my voice in waiting rooms, living rooms, and blue saloons
In salons, nylons, on and on der autobahn
On the radio, stereo, through a blood-stained window
In my head, in bed lying half-dead
But it always felt apart
Until I heard it in your heart
And now the time is here
And everything we hold is dear
I’ve found my fate in car crashes, wind-flung ashes, and bat-lashes
In telephone calls, from bathroom stalls, in desolated shopping malls
Under florescence, in returned presents, in breathless accents
In restaurants, festive fonts and in ancient cyber-haunts
But I never thought it was true
Until I found my fate it in you
In memories, alternate keys, thrift shop DVDs

All That Heaven Allows

This is wonderful! A noisy indie vaudevillian spaghetti western song cycle played partially on brilliant and bizarre homemade instruments, set in an imaginary place called Wowtown. It's every bit as fascinating and compelling as that garbled description indicates. Like The Wedding Present recording a Phil Spector tribute in Ennio Morricone's studio on Mars 🙂

Nothing not to love about the jangly sounds of the Vovos, who blend catchy melodies with whip smart lyrics.
