THE REVIEW
There are albums we cannot listen to because they are simply too bad. It's normal.
But be aware: there are albums we really can't listen to because they are too beautiful. Because they tell too much about us. Because they were already ours even before we purchased them. And this is definitely one of those.
Sunlit melancholy and bewildered innocence.
I would like to dwell on the deeds of the Blueboy and their offshoots, on the saga of Sarah Records, on the premature death of Keith Girdner but modesty prevents me from continuing....

02 Cloud Babies (03:20)
amethyst sunshine burns down on a sea lions
in the day i've known people sell their soul
for a chance to see their own stupid face
if there is love i've seen cloud babies
fall cloud babies fall cloud babies fall
a guitar and that alone sounds like heaven
if my friend would you listen if you could
i would burn our secret world
i have seen the face of god
i've seen cloud babies fall
cloud babies fall cloud babies fall
04 Fondette (02:32)
a nation of starving people
stare out from the color tv
an angry child spits out its crusts
and drowns the world in screams
young mother in court for tax evasion
she can't afford to pay for a new more powerful missile
but she doesn't have a say so
did those feet in ancient times
walk upon england's mountains green
if they did they can't think very much of what they've seen
the fields are covered in concrete now
the countryside is dead
the trees are being felled and the rivers run red
that's right just get on with your life
get a good seat for you
never bother to think about how things could and should be
let them tell you what to do
control the way you think
this is country where it can be a criminal offence to wink
