Lyrics
Stupid on the Steinway
So sick upon a Steinway
The sailors drown
See them talk and see them drown
And see them drink and fall around
Upon the floor
Sister of mine, home again
Sister of mine, home again
Lonely in a crowded room
The radio plays out of tune
So silently
The radio upon the floor
Is stupid it plays Aznavour
So out of key
Sister of mine
Home again
Sister of mine
Home again
Broken on a ship of fools
Even dreams must fall to rules
So stupidly
Words are all just useless sound
Just like cards they fall around
And we will be
Sister of mine
Home again
Sister of mine
Home again
Buy a car and watch it rust
Sister see them fall to dust
They fall around
In another crowded room
Paint me like the shirt i'm in
Honestly
Sister of mine
Home again
Sister of mine
Home again
Sister of mine
Sister of mine
Sister of mine
Sister of mine
Sister

i think the vocalist creates a lot of the deep atmospherics; such a delicious voice and then i think the fact that they don't try to be technical wizzards but instead let the songs breathe and be quite minimal in many ways is what makes their songs so great/

I started listening to bands like the Psychedelic's and The English Beat way back in the late 70's because I just couldn't stand another 20 minute guitar solo, I just couldn't do it...Punk came out at the right moment. Yes I dug it too, everyone was waiting for this sound. Thank God it came when it did...

The mysterious lyric was written by Richard Butler, after his girlfriend of the time moved to Italy. "Instead of saying 'my bird's gone to Italy and I miss her,' I tried to put over the feeling of being sad and low with images," he explained, a device which works perfectly. Against the band's slowly, darkly percolating rhythm, Butler's performance is a masterpiece of understatement, whispered intimacy rendered all the more effective by the instructions he was given by producer Steve Lillywhite: "he told me, 'go down the pub, have a couple of beers, and when you come back, I want you to sing like it's three in the morning, and you're talking on the telephone to someone.'" --AllMusic

Binge-reading Bret Easton Ellis & wanted an ambient 80s soundtrack; this came on old Spotify playlist shuffle & I was thrilled to rediscover a gem outside of my typical/done-2-death 80s stuff. Clutch addition to that ambient 80s vibe; feels like something his characters would be playing while being rich, morally bankrupt brats! AKA a glamorous & well-funded drug den. High end drugs & everything else, of course 😉
