lyrics

Holywell Street

Delorian tells you Wednesday’s good, but she never says which one.
It’s as though she wants it understood that she’s messing with you for fun.
On Holywell Street, where life is crazed, shop windows beckon men in macs.
There’s a guarantee that you’ll be amazed, and another you’ll be crawling back.

Locked in no-man’s land,
Delorian takes your hand.

And the sky’s filled with fire.
They’re singing our song
As the sun draws us higher, higher.

And the world burns with ire.
I’m singing our song
As the moon pulls us higher, higher –
’Till we fall.

The taxicabs will back away when you tell them where you’re bound.
(They’ll) drop you at the far end where it’s better you turn round.
Delorian leaves the shuttered gloom, as daylight creeps inside.
A glance beyond the frowning roofs, and her spirit is revived.

And the sky’s filled with fire.
They’re singing our song
As the sun draws us higher, higher.

And the world burns with ire.
I’m singing our song
As the moon pulls us higher, higher –
’Till we fall.

They played a wonderful set at Summer’s End in October 2018 which was based around this album . For me it was one of the sets of the weekend. The record is a wonderful permanent reminder of the show. Tony Honour

Common Ground

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Fell in love with BBT recently, absolutely love the stories they tell and the music. Very sad to hear about David’s passing, listening now is quite moving, moved to tears from time to time, but we move on as I hope BBT will with David in our hearts. tonyauroristony58
