about
Berlin was originally recorded by Matthew really quickly on a cheap 4 track at home. After showing Lion Island, Adrian came up with that killer Riff on the Electric Guitar and we knew we had to get it recorded.
It's a slow building song with multiple melodies overlapping in a wonderful concoction by the end.
lyrics
I've got some things that just have to be said
Preached the blind man to the sun
I need a bullet put through my head
but I can't for the life of me run
what is the point of it all
said the farmer to his wife
when all we ever seem to do is fall
fall back into this life
I've got to leave you and head to Berlin
said the guy with the house on the hill
for a life that isn't so grim
I'll sell my soul and I'll have my fill
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.........
