lyrics

Words:

I don't know how it happened
So cold when you're so far away
But somewhere over Port Au Prince
I lost control again, again

Will you talk me down
Will you help me land this plane

Lying in my fever
I feel you enter the dream
And I move to accommodate the space
Your body, your body used to be

Will you talk me down
Will you help me land this plane

about

London Fields Worcester, UK

A short-lived recording alias for Huw Darling (of the Chickpea Darlings), used for a year or so in the mid-1990's before developing into The Spanish Amanda. One CDR album and many, many odd tracks recorded - mostly now lost. Thanks for visiting; if you enjoy the London Fields songs, you might like The Spanish Amanda and the Chickpea Darlings too. ... more
