After hearing the nicest story the other day, I thought It would be nice to pay a small tribute to one of the best songwriters in the last three decades! Mike Scott himself scripted one of the most memorable songs recorded in the eighties. Apparently Scott and his current girlfriend were sitting in a cafe when she asked him how easy it was to write a song, He responded to this by jotting down 'The whole of the moon' in the time while they were seated. Genius! :)
I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, i guessed, and i tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon
With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon
Unicorns and cannonballs,
Palaces and piers,
Trumpets, towers, and tenemets,
Wide oceans full of tears,
Flag, rags, ferry boats,
Scimitars and scarves,
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
