lyrics

CREEPERS AND VINES

Creepers and vines
Creepers and vines
Wrap tendrils around me
And force down the wine

They lift me above life
I see it all so clearly
Crash land in the morning
And pay for it dearly

(Middle section)

Golden palaces appear
Pretty apparitions
In the morning they reveal
Themselves as bad decisions
Doomed to repetition

(End Section)

Time goes fast
You have another glass
Before you know it
You’ll be living in the past

Soft Hearted Scientists Cardiff, UK

A Cardiff based psychedelic collective with 4 core members and 2 floating members.

The lyrics are sometimes cryptic and surreal but always grounded in reality. "Waltz of the Weekend" is our 8th and most ambitious album to date. ... more
