lyrics

At the count of midnight
we'll set a light to all this now
The comfort in these arms
we'll set a light to all this now

The horrors of midnight
when you're like a soldier at war
I sit in this dead house
and before I knew it you're gone

But this afterglow will carry on without you
So long to our humble home
It is carrying on without you

So come on and greet us here
We're dressed for your pleasure
But under these walls again I'm a snarling creature

At the count of midnight
we'll set a light to all this now

So far from this burning wreck
and I'm carried along the contrails
You're but a distant speck
In the morning you will be gone.

about

The Contortionist London, UK

The Contortionist is me, Andy Hirst; usually alone, but sometimes with friends. We even had a proper band for a while (The Contortionist and The Wandering Boy Poets).

I've been in a load of bands over the years playing various things: drums in Nixon, The Broken Chairs, and The Purgatory Players, guitar in Situationists, guitar/keys/vocals in Japanese Sleepers and Fall Forwards.
