about

Live recording of a gig with Mowgli and the Donuts, legendary Edinburgh band from the seventies. It's basically about mood swings and in particular a friend who I knew in Edinburgh in my twenties who I think, looking back, was probably bi-polar - but we're all on that switchback to some extent, governed by our inner world which can match reality or tragically sometimes impose a crazy interpretation on our beautiful world and fellow human travellers.

RIP Bruce Fraser

lyrics

The first time I saw you I was so impressed
Your eloquence surprised me I must confess
Your words were like jewels but it's a terrible shame
You were caught in the speed deal of a borrowed name

And you were so high
It's hard to believe it
So high, it's hard to conceive this
So high, but it all soon passed

The next time I saw you, you seemed to have changed
Your words were so hopeless and your meanings were strange
You wanted to talk but had nothing to say
For that jury of critics watch when you act in this way.

And you were so low
It's hard to believe it
So low, it's hard to conceive this
So low, but it all soon passed


The next time I saw you, you were standing apart
Bored by your audience for you knew them by heart
Eyes on a stroll, elusive as dreams
You were stalking yourself on the silver silk screen

And you were so cold
It's hard to believe it
So cold, it's hard to conceive this
So cold, but it all soon passed

The last time I saw you, you were walking in black
You'd slipped into darkness and not turned your back
You saw an abyss and started to scream
And there was no one to help you for this wasn't a dream

And you were so afraid
It's hard to believe it
So afraid, it's hard to conceive this
So afraid that it would never pass
