about

I was truly honoured to be asked to record a song for "Love, Colin"... a celebration of the work of Colin Vearncombe (aka Black) reimagined by artists from around the world. Choosing a song was the hard part.. he wrote so many great ones! I eventually chose "Her Coat And No Knickers" from his 2005 album "Between Two Churches"... what a song! You can see the actual recording on my YouTube channel as well as on the various Love, Colin channels where you can also see all the other wonderful performances of Colin's songs by other artists.

lyrics

Her Coat And No Knickers

You told a few lies and they came back on you
So you told a hundred more until she came back to you
But she only stayed a while
Just long enough to say the kind of things left to be said
In the cold cold light of day…
And she smelled of Xmas trees, of coffee and vanilla
Calcutta after snowfall, she's no-one's stand in mother
But I drifted into her like I could run myself aground
And keep her smiling at the sight of the darkness spilling out

And I don't mind if you don't care about it
I'll get by without her arms around me
As long as I can sit on my own
In her coat and no knickers

I believe it doesn't matter So don't look at me that way
Like I should notice how you look at me that way
That's just the way you look when you look at me that way and I believe it
doesn't matter
At least not much anyway

And I don't mind if you don't care about it
I'll get by without her arms around me
As long as I can sit on my own
In her coat and no knickers

I never dreamed I could be lost in a place I knew so well
But I was running on the spot in the darkness 'til I fell
And then pulling off my clothes I want to step out of my skin
And paint a tattoo on my heart shows an arrow pointing in

And I don't mind if you don't care about it
I'll get by without her arms around me……
As long as I can sit on my own
In her coat and no knickers

A wonderful album. I hear hints of Jeff Buckley, The Beatles and Rufus Wainright in his songwriting. Not just cleverly written songs, but with feeling. And the strings are stunning too. jane willow
