Electrified It’s morning in the country Electric pylons hitching up their skirts Another day twitches expectantly Convulsive beauty Touch the wire, carry the power From countryside to city Slip your hand between the bark And the flesh of the great oak Start to quiver uncontrollably Strange kind of beauty Lay me down upon the line From countryside to city I know that it can’t be seen Don’t tell me it’s nothing

London Welshman Now summer’s almost done, guess it’s time to be moving on Nothing here for a young man, guess it’s time to be moving on Swansea to Paddington, one way only, no return Hailed a cab and disappeared, one way only, no return Became as one with the evening haze This is the first of the rest of your days And you struggle to make ends meet, SW2 Brixton It’s not much, not even home, SW2 Brixton Left the gossip and the Gorse, the city streets at dusk to roam For better or for worse, the city streets at dusk to roam With your eyes closed, how the whole world looks red Sorry to go but I couldn’t have stayed Became as one with the evening haze This is the first of the rest of your days

Dive 02:21
Dive Another perfect sunset. A diver in black silhouette Walks to the end of the board. What do you deserve? What do you expect? Breaking the cellophane skin of the pool with his hands A flick of his toes and he bobs up again God, get me out of this terrible place The shirts are bright pink and the jackets are tan leatherette From where I sit I can see the sun but I can’t feel the benefit What have I done? I can’t recall any great sin. But then again…

about

The 'Electrified' EP (feat. Electrified, London Welshman and Dive) was released in 1989 on our own label, Magic Records. It was our first and only release on Magic, which we co-founded with Scott Longley after parting company with Cherry Red Records. The EP was recorded at The White House in Kewstoke, where we also recorded the 'Totter' demo which had secured us a John Peel session in March '89.

The musicians are: Matt Jones (guitar, vocals, keyboards); Mike Thomas (bass); Les Mun (drum programming); Nigel Boulton, aka The King of Wales (lead guitar); Cronsey Jones (harmonica).

Tracks:
1. Electrified (from countryside to city)
2. London Welshman
