LYRICS

The barflies chatter
They don’t know any better
It doesn’t matter
You’re hanging on to a dream
To your own dream
They’re laughing and talking
One or two are clapping
But nobody’s walking
And you’re hanging on to a dream
To your own dream
Let them do what they do
Say what they say
It doesn’t matter anyway
Every heart in the room
Will belong to you one day
Let them do what they do
Say what they say
It doesn’t matter anyway
Every heart in the room
Will belong to you one day
A beer glass shatters
The bar staff clatters
It doesn’t matter
You’re hanging on to a dream
To your sweet dream
You don’t hurry, don’t worry
They’re going to know your story
It doesn’t matter
You’re hanging on to a dream
To your sweet dream
Let them do what they do
Say what they say
It doesn’t matter anyway
Every heart in the room
Will belong to you one day

[Love Expresso]

This must be one of the most beautiful things MK has done in general! Such a classic melody, these vocals and harmonies. Fell in love immediately!

[Robson]

Is the album released in Germany?

I'm liking it too. 

Can anyone help on the solo (guitar etc.)?

[pitx]

[Nick14]

EH? Any DMs of anything new (not the 10...) very much appreciated!!

[herlock]

Yes, please... There are torturing us, pretending everyone has the full album like they do

[pitx]

Please please please   

[JF]

love it !

@dmg : for slide he usually plays the 64 strat these days, but here the tone is warmer, rounder, so it could also be the Danelectro like on Donnegan's gone, but not sure

Thanks JF.  Sounds nice anyway!

Awesome song.  Definitely should have been on the album.

Agree. That melody, that 60s arrangements, that slide melting your heart (no pun intended). This is Kill To Get Krimson pushed to the limit, pushed to another level. This is gonna be not only one of my fav MK songs, but one of my favs songs for life.

Strange he uses the strat for slide these days. The danelectro suits better for that sounds, he even have a danelectro signature called the jizzblaster...

Funny you say that. I haven't heard this album yet, but I prefer the Strat with slide, at least the way it sounded on Tracker. The Danelectro sounds harsh to me, while the Strat has a mellower, smoother tone. Or maybe it's just the way they were recorded...

[enrkaton82]

I really believe that the man who played slide on Tracker and the man who played the solo in this beautiful piece of art is not the same

It is a cross between the authenticity of Ry Cooder and the romantic warmness of Chris Rea. Magnificent guitar work for a magnificent song.
