What Do You Do For Encores?

from Spook Frequency by Villareal

/

about

'Encores" was destined to be at the front of our first album. It always had something special about it. The original demo had myself and Jennie Cruse playing synth string parts on a keyboard (at one point we had four hands and about 15 fingers pressed down on the notes - ELO eat your heart out! In the studio (Truck Records, Oxfordshire) Joe Bennett (Goldrush/Dreaming Spires) played these parts and added a whole new dimension to the song.
By the way the cricket noises were recorded in Greece. That's why you may not be able to understand what they are saying...

lyrics

Night falls down
On a station town
And the truth has been delayed
Here I go
Following dead stars the wrong way home
Space junk sky
Life is a series of long goodbyes

Chorus

Tell me that it's hopeless
Say you couldn't care less
Don't say that it's over
Trying hard to hold on
Guessing where I went wrong
What do you do for encores?

World's apart
My foolish heart
Won't believe what people say
And that's just you
Singing a sad song to get you through
And that's just me
Playing a love song in the wrong key

Repeat Chorus
