lyrics

The Bends
(Edouard Poujaud, Patrice Steinberger - Elephant and Castle)

Dum dum dum dum dum
I have to leave you, you know
Bell’s ringing, gate’s closing
I have to go
Don’t break your promise now, my love
No weeping, no crying
I have to go

Dum dum dum dum dum
You have to stand this, and hope
Wind’s blowing, day’s falling
I have to go

It’s not what you do, it’s what you are, so
I can’t blame you anymore
Tomorrow I’ll love you more
Let nothing ever change your heart, so
I’ll be longing more and more
For waiting days to be no more

Dum dum dum dum dum
Home is waiting, you know
I’m waiting, I’m standing
Out of this world
Our trembling kiss seems so cold
Through the grating… hey !

It’s not what you did, it’s what you are, so
I can’t blame you anymore
Tomorrow I’ll love you more
What we’re living now won’t change your love, so
We belong to nowhere or, anywhere but not this world

Someday you’ll be born again
Through those walls
Together sailing from the shore
Anywhere but not this world
What we’re living now won’t change your love, so
I’ll be longing more and more
Gate’s closing, leaving hope.

Elephant and Castle image

Elephant and Castle Paris, France

Born in London at the end of the 80s, the french band E&C had turned the established order of prog rock upside down. They invented an elaborate music, inflated with the energies of Led Zep, Queen or Alice Cooper. The band was compared to such icons as IQ, Rush and Saga. One album (The Green One 1991), one tour, and then it’s over? No way. Two albums (one studio, one live), are released in 2021 ... more
