about

'Bodies' is the song on the new album that polarizes people the most. For myself I have always enjoyed listening to and watching dirty New Orleans bar bands. Dr John played his part in influencing here as his Black Keys-produced record had just hit the shops when we started recording.
Jules Lawrence played tenor sax on 'Bodies' and helped bring the song to life, adding some 'skronk' to proceedings. The end section features three people playing lead guitar without listening to what the other two up doing. And there's a male chorus screaming the word 'Bodies'.
Whats it all about? Well, it might have something to do the river Thames.
Oh, and thanks to SPOON for their amazing 'Stay Don't Go' from 'Kill The Moonlight' record. Another massive influence on this song...

lyrics

There are bodies in the water there are souls upon the shore
But in houses of the future you won't find what you're looking for
There are bodies in the water upon the jawline of this coast
And if it wasn't for my missed fortune I'd be more than just your ghost
There are bodies in the water there is motion in your heart
But if you ever lose your way again you'll be dealing with the past

There are bodies in the water submerged just out of view
And as we dream of new horizons we'll find its us taht it happens to
There are bodies in the water and in the windows of your soul
The price for new technology?
Our identities got sold

Bodies...

(Words & Music Simon Parker)
