Phone memo recording of 'On The Upswing' written at 2am on Thursday 22/09/22.
lyrics
G
Take it down I’m coming
C
I want my order even
G C
If I’m the last bitch in the bar
Em
I wanna see some sorrows
D C
Drowning out the screams that I still hear
D G
They gasp for air but once I’m done I’ll never hear from them again
G
I’ll tell you bout the worst thing
C
That ever happened to me
G C
You’ll feel so sick you’ll wanna cry
Em D C
At least for you it’s just a story one or two chapters too long
D G
If I could cut it down then just maybe I wouldn’t wanna die
G C Em
If I could sleep a little while
B7 C G D
You know that I would love to try and keep this body the upswing
G C Em
If I could fake another smile
B7 C G D
You know that I would love to try and keep this body on the upswing
G
Turn the pages corner
C
Each time you feel it coming
G C
The thunder of another night
Em D C
Coming so thick it sticks to everything you wish you could have said
D
but never can now that the mornings come
G
to bathe you in it’s light
G
Another smoke and tell me
C
You’re leaving on the exhale
G C
And you’ll be gone once that shit clears
Em D
And out the window see the traffic start to shake
C D
just like your vision is a wave that peaks before the drugs
G
take away the fear
G C Em
If I could sleep a little while
B7 C G D
You know that I would love to try and keep this body the upswing
G C Em
If I could fake another smile
B7 C G D
You know that I would love to try and keep this body on the upswing
G
Tonight

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often.
Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr

The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
