概要

Tim and Damian once again amble along the windswept promenade of music-biz memories, deliberating on childhood tribalism, cultural appropriation, difficult time signatures, recording studio nerves… and Jamaican beer. All culminating beautifully in a wistful re-recording of Tim’s ‘Can’t SeeFor Looking’. Grab a jacket, turn up the collar and join them for the b-side stroll.

LYRICS

Can’t See For Looking

words and music by Tim Riley

I can’t see for looking, see the wood for the trees

Though I’ve looked high and low on my hands and my knees

And I wish that you’d tell me what it is that I’ve lost

Cos I can’t see for looking

Our union is ending, and it cuts me in two

To see you turn away when I look at you

And you decline my invitation to give it one chance

Our union is ending

I’m practising perfection, my motive unclear

It’ll soften your defences, I’m certain, my dear

And if that were to happen, I’m sure you’d agree

Oh, what am I saying?

As a desperate attempt, I have pleaded with you

To consider it further and start anew

But my rivers of persuasion are fast running dry

These rivers of persuasion

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

I can’t see for looking, see the wood for the trees

Though I’ve looked high and low on my hands and my knees

And I wish that you’d tell me what it is that I’ve lost

Cos I can’t see for looking

Our union is ending, and it cuts me in two

To see you turn away when I look at you

And you decline my invitation to give it one chance

Our union is ending
