The falling

from We Are The Foxes by The Bookshop Band

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The Bookshop Band release WE ARE THE FOXES, their second album of 2016, inspired by a collection of books that revolve around stories of cities and those who live in them, curated by their local independent bookshop Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights. The songs were first performed in front of the authors themselves at the bookshop’s events.

    The city-tales that inspire this album span both time and continents; from the seedy printing worlds of London’s Victorian backstreets in MJ Carter’s novel The Infidel Stain, to the Australian high rises in Tim Winton’s Eyrie. The band sing on urban life through the many different lenses each book gives, via the lives of a household in Armistead Maupin’s groundbreaking Tales of the City series, to through the eyes of the foxes that roam the streets in Ned Beauman’s GLOW.

about

Inspired by Eyrie, by Tim Winton.

lyrics

You know my face
Even though I don’t
Recognise myself
And here I was
Hanging on by a thread
To this place on the shelf
Pushed out and down
No one to see
Until your old eyes
Fell on me
And it’s me, I am falling
I will catch you, Here I stand
With the wild, birds soaring
Come with me, Take my hand
It is me, I am watching
I will catch you, here I stand
The child, He’s still drawing
Dreaming creatures, Here I am
And it’s wild, The storm is coming
The world is spinning, Round and round
The heat, Where I’m now laying
So sudden, Hit the ground
The eyes, are surrounding
Shrouded, covered face
And it’s me, I have fallen
Hit the surface, Stop the chase
And the child, He’s still drawing
Every breath, Found him safe
The wild birds are soaring
Hit the surface stopped the chase
It is me, I have fallen
Tried to catch you, here I lay
And the child he’s still drawing
Standing witness, he is safe.
