Another five minutes wait and we finally raise glasses in a toast to the evening. ‘So, what's the plan?’ ‘Well, we can go straight to the casino after this or we can get half a skinful of Dutch courage.’
And the blossom as scarlet as blood, the single, the starry, the strong,
Is the Alpine love that is nurtured in clefts of the toiler’s life,—
The love that is sought not in languor nor chanted in zephyrous song,
But held in the heart of the storm when the soul has been wed to a wife.
We were almost invisible in our tiger stripes and ghillie suits. However, as the unit marched by, a lone gomer broke rank and ventured into the high, wet saw grass that concealed our position.
Her new album, Thunder Thighs, continues in the same lo-fi, oversharing, hippietastic, totally genius vein you've come to love, with lyrics like I feel like I'm unloading when I'm loading up the car/I feel like I'm exploding when I'm holding my guitar.
