about

Originally beginning life as a plaintive ballad written on acoustic guitar, it was upon hearing Portishead’s distorted cover of ABBA's “SOS” that Ste decided to up-end his own creation and embrace its darkness. Working with producer Danny Woodward (Whitewood Recording Studios, Liverpool), the pair de-tuned the sweet sounds of a violin (played by Ste). Adding solemn cello accompaniment and percussion that ticks like time running out, the results make for a single that simmers with a brooding trip-hop intensity and an aching melancholy that opens a window to the soul.

lyrics

YOU SAY
I don’t know just what to do
'Cos all I have is thoughts of you
You danced around the living room
But now you’re gone much too soon
Woah

Cos you say
Exactly what you want now
Exactly what you like
And everything’ll be all right
Love me
If only for an hour
If only for tonight
And everything’ll be all right

You held my face inside your hands
You were so weak
You couldn’t stand
Please just stay with me tonight
Your soul is strong
And you’ve got fight

You say
Exactly what you want now
Exactly what you like
And everything’ll be all right
Love me
If only for an hour
If only for tonight
And everything’ll be all right

You say
Exactly what you want now
Exactly what you like
And everything’ll be all right
Love me
If only for an hour
If only for tonight
And everything’ll be all right
