Cover Band (acoustic)

from NFN alt versions by Tom Emlyn

lyrics

I was playing my guitar in an empty bar
when I thought I heard your voice
I froze alone out loud
like a cat on bonfire night
like winter rain
I was watching you in the Tav
the pool balls crashed together
I was deaf and I was blind
inside the fireplace
red coals for eyes

and I could be in a cover band
fall in love on a one night stand
learn to play with my left hand
or I could be in a cover band

Now there's no-one there
on the beach a microphone stand
swaying in the wind
the crashing cymbals and screaming amps
the sea, the gulls

and I could be in a cover band
fall in love on a one night stand
learn to play with my left hand
or I could be in a cover band
