about
A cinematic retro-flavoured 60's/70's pastiche, this pop song ‘White Lies and Other Small Mercies’ harks back to the glory days of the Wrecking Crew. Produced, written, arranged and played by Brookes and Johnstone.
lyrics
Her soft caress
Lifts the morning sun (Lifting the morning sun)
Forget the world
Forget life’s lonely beating heart
Sweet dreams arise and then they fall away
The time is now
And I hold my head up high
White Lies and Other Small Mercies
Ain’t nothing gonna stop this hurting
White Lies and Other Small Mercies
Ain’t nothing gonna stop this hurting
Take my love and hold it against the sun (Hold it against the sun)
The time’s been spent but there’s so much left undone
The time is now, the wise man’s words arrive
I take my gun, and hold it to the sun
White Lies and Other Small Mercies
Ain’t nothing gonna stop this hurting
White Lies and Other Small Mercies
Ain’t nothing gonna stop this hurting
I take my gun and hold it against the sun
I take my gun and hold it against the sun
I take my gun and hold it against the sun
I take my gun and hold it against the sun
