lyrics

As the warmest longest night begins to fade
On another hopeless cause you try to save
And a penny for all your thoughts won't count for much
So, you clench your hands, pray to God, pray to God, yeah

She sits alone and cries in her room
While the baby still kicks at her womb
He's got a fortune while she's got her faith
But there's not much difference, not these days
Between the good book and the green, yeah

There's a heartbeat in every thunder at a price you can't afford
It's worth saving all you've got to buy yourself a home
And this tangled web we're weaving has no shape or form
You're still pinning up your hopes to every strand, pray to God, pray to God

She sits alone and cries in her room
While the baby still kicks at her womb
He's got his fortune while she's got her faith
But there's not much difference, not these days
Between the good book and the green, yeah

Get on your knees

She sits alone and cries in her room
While the baby still kicks at her womb
He's got his fortune while she's got her faith
But there's not much difference

She sits alone and cries in her room
While the baby still kicks at her womb
He's got a fortune while she's got her faith
But there's not much difference, not these days
Between the good book and the green, yeah

about

Candy Opera Liverpool, UK

When Candy Opera released 45 Revolutions Per Minute on February 23rd 2018, it was a belated introduction to a very special band sired during Liverpool's 1980s golden age which has taken almost thirty years to happen. Lovingly unearthed and compiled by Firestation Records of Berlin and available on limited edition 18-track CD, the result is a lost gem that points to a million what-might-have-beens. ... more
