There are two music legends that made me aware of the power of lyrics. There wasn't much to like in lyrics, cliche's like "Love me, please love me" and "The rain, the park and other things"(still a wonderful, happy bubblegum ditty, btw) and "Yeah, yeah". There was Genesis with Peter Gabriel, but I didn't understand the words, they just created a magically drugged out Alice in Wonderland mood. Poetry again. And there was Scott Walker. The Scott Walker from translated Jaques Brel songs (which Mort Shuman did excellently). But Scott also wrote his own lyrics - I became aware of that with the 45rpm flipside "Always coming back to you", and the A-side of his third solo album. 'Two Ragged Soldiers" in particular moved me to tears, it still does. Someone somewhere described it as 'Domestic Dramas.' Scott's lyrics are much more than that. It's sheer poetry.

Everything still, everything silent As after the rain We lie here listening to night close down Stare like a child, wait for the signs To decide once again Just when they looked here to stay We're to leave our world, our air It really isn't fair Outside they sing "The war is over!" "Raise your blinds, the war is over!" Tell your deepest dark Goodbye A distant waltz turns in the head Of an old lady's night Waiting hands unfold within the dark Lighting her lamp, seeing Prince Albert Recalling the site They waltz again through the park Floorboards creak beneath the moon The room below just sighs Outside they sing "The war is over!" "Raise your blinds, the war is over!" Let me get some sleep tonight Everything still, everything silent As after the rain Still we are After The Rain Lyrics from cd booklet

in fact Stretch is a great album...just a different theme , i.e. country and western. The songs ‘Just one smile’ and ‘someone who cared’ are as great as anything youwill ever hear from Scott’s vocal chords.
