about

Delage was a French luxury automobile and racecar company founded in 1905 by Louis Delage in Levallois-Perret near Paris; it was acquired by Delahaye in 1935 and ceased operation in 1953. Gare de Lyon and Gare du Nord are the main railway stations in Paris

'So good and is back in my head all day -when it comes down to it you have great tunes and phrasing. Ezra Pound of all people: 'What lasts is emotion'.

Scottish writer Andrew Greig

lyrics

BOYS WITH NO LOVE


Now what makes me think that I've been here before
Is it old Dionysus back at my front door?
I'd hoped to be honest, how I'd hoped to be strong
But honey, I couldn't, I couldn't last that long


They say that all dreamers end up in a heap
Stranded in back rooms while the rest of us sleep
Forcing a rhyme into nothing to say
Oh honey, will I, will I ever end up that way?


Dark nights in this city
Black nights in my sleep
Oh honey I pray of the Lord your soul to keep
From cars with no lights
From fiery stars up above
But most of all, most of all, most of all
Boys with no love


He said that he would meet you in a maroon Delage
Recite all his verse for you 'sur la plage'
He came from Gare du Lyon, you came by Gare du Nord
Hanging, hanging on his every word


Caught sight of the waves crashing down on the sand
Caught sight of the lovers walking hand in hand
They flew up and grew up to meet the sun
But they were burned up, they were burned up one by one


Now what makes me think that I've been here before
Is it the crack in the ceiling or the creak in the floor?
They say there's a boy settling down in this room
For a singsong, singsong with the moon


Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
