I stood upon the listed bridge
Dividing different images
Logic vs emotion
Mountain stream vs the ocean
Will we ever learn?
Logic vs emotion
Politicians carry the motion
Will we ever learn?
I'll take you upstream,
Up to my origin;
My water clear as glass,
My beauty everlasting
I was here before you-
A million years before you-
And I can only warn you
I'll be here when you're gone...
"Leave my house alone!
I won't leave my home!"
Said the old lady,
Kneeling by the riverbank, crying
"Leave our valley alone!
You're destroying our home!"
Chorus the creatures,
Watching as their paradise disappears
Under the water
I'll take you downstream,
Down where they turn me green;
I suffer the indignity
Of administering your poisons to the sea
The impurity of maturity-
Teach them all the appreciation of beauty!
I stood upon the listed bridge
Dividing different images
Logic vs emotion
A mountain stream feeding an ocean
Politicians go through the motions
Displaying such a depth of devotion
Logic vs emotion
Seems to be a lot of confusion
There is no foregone conclusion
There is no simple solution
The answer lies in your emotions-
Let them speak to you!

Radiohead: Thank you Hannon.

This is very good, and far less stylistically removed from later Divine Comedy releases that I had been led to expect. I can only assume that there are legal or contractual reasons for the non-appearance of this album to date in a re-released form. I'd gladly buy it! The songs may be (relatively) callow by the astronomically high standards of the later Divine Comedy, but it's obvious even here that Neil Hannon was going to be a songwriting/musical force to be reckoned with.

I love discovering early Divine Comedy songs;it's interesting to hear his development& es I'd like copies of this album & the deleted Promenade that for some reason I didn't get a hold of, but I do have Liberation,which came out before it?! I've been listening onRU-vid regularly to 'A Drinking Song'&'Don't Look Down',2 new favourites;&these 'Fanfare ones' are not bad;& there used to be 'Silent Man' on here &that's good too! Very early,you can hear how young he is on that one! From the 80's! :)

Hannon quite simply didn't like the album because it was so different from their later work so he just refused to release it or re-release it. It's a real shame because this is such a good album.
