lyrics
Not For The First Time
Not for the first time
Have I felt alone in this goddamn city
And not for the first time
Have I seen hearts as hard as an India-rubber ball
Not for the first time
Have I heard words beyond pity
And not for the first time
Have I heard a friend’s familiar cry
Not for the first time
Have I felt alone in this goddamn city
So if that’s the case
Oh why oh why are we still here
Not for the last time
Will I feel anger when I should not
Not for the last time
Will I feel afraid
Not for the last time
Will I hear a friend’s familiar cry
So if that’s the case
Oh why oh why are we still here
Not for the first time
Have I felt alone in this goddamn city
And not for the first time
Have I seen hearts as hard as an India-rubber ball
Not for the first time
Have I heard words beyond pity
And not for the first time
Have I heard a friend’s familiar cry
Not for the first time
Have I felt alone in this goddamn city
So if that’s the case
Oh why oh why are we still here
Not for the last time
Will I feel anger when I should not
Not for the last time
Will I feel afraid
Not for the last time
Will I hear a friend’s familiar cry
So if that’s the case
Oh why oh why are we still here

about
Beatrix Players London, UK
Beatrix Players make florid, adventurous music that operates at the interface between folk rock, singer-songwriter acoustica, prog and quasi-classical baroque chamber pop. There is a light, translucent quality to the music, and yet when it is not being hushed and reverent, it has the attack and thrust, the surging dynamism, of rock. It can be soft and intimate, yet fiery, intense and immense. ... more
