Lyrics for Peach
 
Life is the reasonI'm still holding groundLife is imperfect bodiesAnd perfect soundsDeath is in seasonAnd it's pushing me 'roundAnd 'round and 'roundA bottle cap, a rusted crown
When one pushes upThe other pulls me downAnd I don't knowIf I'll get up, if I'll get outOne pushes upThe other pulls me downAnd I don't knowIf I'll get up, if I'll get out
This one makes you bigIn a cruel worldThis one makes you smallIn a lonely worldThis one takes it all awayAll the painBut I'm not giving upNot today, not today
There's life in this tunnelWe're just hanging aroundPlease if you see my handJust pull me outThere's death in this tunnelStill hanging on meStill begging of me
'Cause when one pushes upThe other pulls me downAnd I don't knowIf I'll get up, if I'll be found
This one makes you bigWhat a cruel worldThis one makes you smallFeel that lonely worldThis one takes it all awayBut I'll stay'Cause I won't give you upNot today
I won'tI won't give you up

Renaissance - Northern Lights

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV8uvKqlcQY

Destination outward boundI turn to see the northern lights behind the wingHorizons seem to beckon meLearned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
The northern lights are in my mindThey guide me back to youHorizons seem to beckon meLearned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
You know it's hard away from youTravelling roads and passing throughIt's not for money and it's not for fameI just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely
Marking the space between the daysEarly hours pass awayI sing to you of northern lightsI sing for you of northern nights
Past or future, here or thereShelter comes in words from you, so talk to meI hear your voice, it comforts meIn morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me
The northern lights are in my mindThey guide me back to youPeace enfolds the still night airHome again I look for you and find you there
Desintation homeward nowTake the easy way, bring me downMaking the hard way now I seeHard to be really free, I'm missing you near me
Marking the space between the daysEarly hours pass awayI sing to you of northern lightsI sing for you of northern nights
The northern lights are in my mindThey guide me back to youThe northern nights are in my eyesThey guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mindThey guide me back to youThe northern nights are in my eyesThey guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mindThey guide me back to you

Mountain Goats gig - Manchester's Albert Hall 17th November 2022

Mountain Goats gig - Manchester's Albert Hall

The Albert Hall is a great venue and one of the many great things about it is the height of the stage. It’s about five and a half feet off the ground so you can be the shortest person standing at the back and still get a great view.

The hall was designed in eclectic style with Baroque and Gothic elements for the Wesleyan Mission in 1908. A meeting hall is on the first floor with a horseshoe gallery, sloping floor and coloured glass rooflights. The finely detailed terracotta is formed into large windows at gallery level, and the interior is abundant in floral decoration in the plaster work and glazed tiles.
