lyrics

Now these days are ours with a vengeance
The steps that we take are doubly sure
Our joyousness caused revelations
Our sadness caused nuclear war

Scarred like the night, crumpled like paper plates
The distant blur of the city lights
The aching call of the city lights

As we step out into the ocean
the water laps at our knees
The biting cold has lifted for now
We replaced it with a moderate breeze

Scarred like the night, crumpled like paper plates
The distant blur of the city lights
The aching call of the city lights

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.
