Originally written in Martin's house after an argument with his german girlfriend, she weren't so bad
They had many a happy time too
You know what guys are like, always the victim tut tut ;-)
lyrics
Happy Blues
I got the happy blues, since that lady went away
I got the happy blues, since that old lady went away
She was making my life her
That's all I've got to say
Hawkin' and skwawkin' that's all we'd ever do
Hawkin' and skwawkin' that's all we'd ever seem to do
She was a mean eyed mama
Come down on everything I'd do
I got the happy blues, since that lady went away
I got the happy blues, since that old lady went away
She was making my life her
That's all I've got to say

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce
