about

A song inspired by bookshops

lyrics

A SHOP WITH BOOKS IN
Inspired by bookshops.
There’s a story waiting inside Behind the door, as it opens wide
And I wander in, hoping to find Something.
As they tell the stories we know And those we don’t are waiting to be held, And taken home.
There’s a strange man inside
Who knows what I like
He’ll rush with tea to my side
And a stack of books piled high
If I’m lucky enough there will be lots of stuff That makes me smile inside
In a shop with books in....
Shelves stacked high, fills my eyes Can’t describe, who knows what you’ll find.
A lovely lady guides me through
I smell the pages, excitement grew How glad am I to be in company
Of such purveyors of quality
Her knowledge is vast, her hand reaches out And pulls the spine of a beautifully bound Book of delights picked especially for me
Boulder Books
Oh, I’m so happy in a shop with books in....
Lost in these pages...
I sink myself into a book and settle down.

SOMOS
29th January 2019 - Taos NM.
Not only a fantastic bookshop but a place
to host all kinds of community orientated events. They had just managed to buy the building outright and were delighted. We played our Brave New World song “Dirty Word” and were told that the savage world in the book by Aldous Huxley was actually Taos Pueblo where we had been that day.
